Hello once again! So this is the last chapter of the story-I'm so sad to be finishing it. Although it was my least well-received fic, it has been my favourite so far. I've had so much fun writing it and I loved the plot, if I do say so myself! Most of what I want to say will be at the bottom, so please enjoy the fic and then my little message.
Also, this chapter is mostly speech, so for that I apologise.
In the following days, Kurt and Blaine's relationship grew stronger than ever. As strange as it sounds, Kurt was somewhat glad of the fight; the boys had realised that they could withstand anything, and the trust he had begun to feel had returned in full force. They were both truly happy.
The country was taking to Blaine as well. The pair were often seen shopping in Elsiva's couture district, or sitting by the lake eating ice cream. They really were the dream couple of the country; everyone wanted to be like them;
Lord Anderson and Prince Hummel seen Canoodling in Capital
On Saturday the prestigious couple were once again seen being couply on Lakewood Road. This seems to be a popular haunt for celebrities, due to the high fashion garments the stores offer. However no couple has ever seen displaying so much PDA in one visit.
"The pair were holding hands and walked very closely", one eyewitness reports, "I saw them kiss several times". This can be backed up by many other wide-eyed shoppers;
"The couple would look into each other's eyes all the time-they looked really happy".
Well, we may have been hesitant about Blaine Anderson's intentions at first, especially due to his uncle's past, but he seems to have done the Prince good. So, should Elsiva be preparing to have an Anderson and a Hummel on the throne?
Speaking of the elder Lord Anderson, he was causing Kurt a lot of bother without even being around. He had only two days before the court required a definite spouse for the Prince. He knew that he wanted Blaine for the rest of his life; call it young-love, but he couldn't imagine being with anyone else. But, it was too soon in their relationship to be wed, and Kurt was just too young. Also, if he married Blaine, then Lord Anderson would claim the position of power that he had always wanted. Kurt's mind was just a mess. However he couldn't take his mind off of it due to Sophia's constant insistence for a final answer.
The pair's relationship had been very strained after the confession, but Kurt had reluctantly forgiven her, as they needed to get Kurt's future sorted. He wasn't sure their relationship was ever going to be the same again.
"Kurt, sweetie, I did ask yesterday for you to have an answer this afternoon".
"I know but I haven't reached a conclusion yet, okay?"
Sophia resolutely sighed, as she so often did in their recent conversations, "alright dear, as soon as you're ready".
The day of the coronation arrived bright and early. The sun was shining, the birds were cheeping; it was the perfect day to get married and get crowned. Wow, Kurt thought. Big day. He promptly showered, got into his regal uniform, and fixed his hair; despite it being Kurt, he really didn't want to make a big deal out of this; he already had a lot to worry about.
However it turned out the rest of the country disagreed; there was a crowd of people as far as the eye could see at the gates of the castle, waving the national flag or shouting in excitement, all wanting to witness the wedding first hand. Kurt took a deep breath as he peeked around the curtains of his bedroom; suffice to say he was nervous.
"You okay?" The voice made Kurt jump and quickly turn around.
"Yeah…yeah, I think so", Kurt replied, noticing that Blaine looked crestfallen.
"It's a big day, getting coronated and married". Kurt just nodded, so Blaine continued;
"I guess this means you've made a decision about who you're going to marry". Kurt nodded again, he didn't really know how to say what he wanted to say.
At that moment, Sophia came in to check on her grandson;
"Oh, you look divine, darling! They're going to love you". She leant in for an awkward hug, as Kurt was not giving one back.
"Now, please tell me you've made a decision about the wedding; you're surely cutting it fine".
"I have", Kurt finally said, he could see Blaine draw in a deep breath, "I choose nobody".
The room was stunned into silence.
"I want to rule on my own, without the need to be validated by a husband. There's no law that I must marry, so I choose not to".
"You do realise that you are dishonouring your ancestor's tradition?" The Queen asked, "and that the country will not fully accept you as their ruler?"
"I think you underestimate your people, your majesty", Kurt snapped. He did feel bad for being so rude to his grandmother, but he could never fully forgive her for what she had done. He then turned to his boyfriend;
"Blaine, I love you so much, and I would love to marry you one day. But I think we can both agree that everything is against us right now". Blaine nodded in agreement, "so I'm going to rule on my own, meaning you will never be King, even if we get married. I hope you can accept that", Blaine nodded again. He was calm, and Kurt knew he was more than fine with his decision, "but I hope you will come and live with me permanently here in the castle once I'm officially King". Blaine's eyes widened at this;
"Are…are you serious?" He asked, astonished.
"Yep, I've kind of gotten used to you being around", Kurt replied with a grin. Suddenly, he felt Blaine jump into his arms, laughing giddily; yes, Kurt knew he had made the right decision.
"How touching", a voice suddenly said from the entrance to the room, "it's so nice to see everything work out". Lord Anderson entered the room, looking livid.
"How dare you dishonour my son like that?" He spat at Kurt, "he deserves so much more than to be a live-in pet. He deserves a throne! And you!" He suddenly rounds on Blaine, "you are weak! Are you really content to live your life in the shadow of your husband?"
He was spitting in his son's face at this point, but Blaine's was blank;
"Yes", he replied, not uttering another word. The Lord was livid, he breathed heavily, in and out. The whole room held their breath, waiting to see what he would do. With a growl, he stomped out the room and out the castle, making is triumphant exit.
"Are you okay?" Kurt asked Blaine.
"Yeah, I think so. I know he's my Dad and all, but I'm so glad he's gone", Blaine said with a slight smile on his face.
"Me too", Kurt added.
"Me too", Sophia said, surprising herself. Kurt turned to his grandmother;
"Grandmother, I'm sorry I've been so cold lately", he said, "but you hurt me in the worst way".
"I know dear, I am so sorry".
"Seeing Lord Anderson and Blaine's relationship makes me realise how precious ours is. I hope we can one day mend our bond, especially as I'm going to be your King in about thirty minutes", Kurt joked.
"Oh my, we'd better get you downstairs", she said, running out the room as regally as a Queen can.
Kurt turned to Blaine before they left;
"I really love you, you know. And I am so glad I let you in and trusted you; we're going to make great rulers". Blaine smiled at this;
"You're going to be an amazing King. I love you".
"I love you too", Kurt replied with a grin. And with that, the pair grasped hands and walked out of the room, out of the castle towards the awaiting throne, and began the rest of their lives.
Boom! Sappy ending, I know. I hope all the loose ends were tied up here.
