Once Kurt returned to Denmark and things returned to normal the planning of the king coronation activities and actual event started to take place. There was constant excitement and chatter in the palace and country. Things would start off with the coronation parade and after two weeks of other festivities there would be the coronation ball and coronation itself. The morning of the parade was a very hectic time at the palace. The finishing touches were being put in place for the upcoming weeks.

Burt groaned as he sat down for breakfast.

"Burt, are you feeling okay," Carole asker her husband.

"Just tired. I haven't been sleeping that well lately."

Carole nodded knowingly.

"He will be fine."

"I know. I just worry."

"Kurt can take care of himself. You raised him to be independent and level headed. He is ready for this. I can feel it."

"There are just so many things that can go wrong. I'm overreacting."

"Yes you are, but we will always worry about our children. Just try to relax and enjoy this time with him."

"You're right. I just need to think more positively."

"About what," Finn asked as he entered the room and sat at the table.

"Burt and I were just thinking about Kurt."

"Well, I'm not worried one bit. Kurt may look fragile but he is probably the strongest of us all," Finn said.

Burt smiled and realized his stepson was right.

"Is he still in bed? I want to make sure he eats before the parade."

"I walked by his room but he wasn't there," Finn said, "I thought he was already down there."

"I'm going to go find him. I think I know where he is," Burt said before exiting.

"So Finn, have you talked to Rachel," Carole asked her son.

"I talked to her last night."

"You two have been spending a lot of time with her."

"I think Kurt is trying to get us back together."

"Is that what you want?"

Finn played with the napkin sitting on the table.

"I think so. I just, well, I know that when she and Puck had their fling she was single so she didn't cheat on me. But, the reason she broke up with me was because she wanted someone more mature and there is no way that would describe Puck. He would be the first to agree with that."

"Would it be easier to forgive her if this fling had been with anyone beside your best friend?"

"I don't know. Probably. I just can't look at him without thinking that he had Rachel the same way I did. But I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her."

"No he didn't Finn. She loves you not him. I get that this situation is complicated but I see the way you two act around each other. I think you need to talk to Puck."

"I did, yesterday. When I was in town I saw him. I hadn't spoken to him since Rachel came clean to me."

Carole's curiosity peaked.

"And? What did he say?"

"He promised me that they didn't go all the way. But, I figured that because Rachel isn't that type of girl. From what he said, they flirted and went out and kissed and stuff but it was never serious."

"Maybe this is good. You both have been together and with others, I mean you dated that nice Bea girl."

"Kurt couldn't stand her."

"Well, I'm pretty sure he is slightly biased on who he thinks you belong with."

"I wonder where Kurt went. It sure is taking a while for Burt to get back."

"Don't worry sweetie. I'm sure Kurt is just nervous."


Burt made his way out to the royal stables. He looked around and was correct on his assumption and saw his son sitting by his horse.

"Pav, today's the day," Kurt told his horse, "We have been practicing and getting ready for this day for a long time. I know you can do this boy. I just hope that I can."

Kurt has had his white horse since it was a newborn. Kurt and Pav grew up together and had a very close connection. Kurt would be riding Pav in the parade.

"You know that no one could ride him when you were away," Burt said.

Kurt jumped when he heard his dad.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for you. What's on you mind."

"Nothing, just talking to Pav."

"You sure there is nothing you want to talk to me about? It is a special day today."

"Yeah, I've been back for a whole week and have not been in the headlines once."

"Kurt, you know what I mean. This is the start of your future."

Kurt nodded and drew his attention back to Pav.

"So you are picky, you must get that from me."

Burt smiled.

"Yeah, a few of the stable workers tried to get on him but Pav would not have it. When they wanted to bring Pav outside they had to walk him out. He really missed you, just like the rest of us."

"Do you think I can do this? I mean, I haven't even been here for the past few months."

"You're right, you haven't. But I think you learned more in the past few months abroad then you did that last few years here. And yes, I know you are ready. And I know you know that too. So, is there any other reason you came out here? I know you come here a lot. It's so peaceful."

Kurt nodded.

"That's why I love it here. But, I also wish mom was here."

Burt lost his smile.

"You and me both. This is natural."

"That's why I came out here. I needed someone to talk to about her."

"Kurt, you know you can talk to me."

"I didn't want to upset Carole."

"Why would she be upset?"

"Because, I don't want her to think that I am not happy she is here. I love her and am so excited for her to be a part of this."

Burt placed a hand on his son shoulder.

"Look at me. Kurt, you can talk about your mom around Carole, especially at times like this. She knows how much we miss her. She wishes your mom could be here too. She understands. Has she ever tried to replace your mom?"

"No."

"And are there times that Finn and her talk about her late-husband."

"Yes."

"And when they do, do you feel like they want to hurt or upset us."

"Of course not. He sounds like he was a great man who loved his family. He will always be a part of them."

"Exactly, and they feel the same way about Elizabeth. You never have to worry about feeling like you can't miss you mom because Carole and Finn are a part of our family too. Promise me that you will not keep things bottled up."

"I promise."

"She's proud of you. Your mom is so proud of you."

Burt pulled his son into a hug. It lasted until Pav decided he wanted some attention too and nudged Kurt's arm.

"Oh okay," Kurt said placing his arms around the horse and gave him a hug "Happy now?"

Burt smiled at his son. His Kurt was back.


Blaine sighed impatiently on the plane. His flight had been delayed and it him longer to get to Denmark then expected. Once the flight had landed and Blaine was able to get off the plane he hurried and found his luggage. He stopped and converted some of his dollars into Danish krones, in case he needed to make any emergency purchases. Then he was off. He looked down at the map on his phone.

'Okay, if I want to find Kurt I should start by looking for the palace,' Blaine thought.

However once Blaine stepped out of the airport he had absolutely no idea what direction to go. He looked over and saw a young woman.

'Please, please understand English,' Blaine prayed.

"Hello, could I please ask you a question."

The woman looked his way.

"Yes."

'Thank God,' Blaine thought, 'This is going to be easy.'


Kurt sighed as he stood on the pedestal in his room.

"Prince, you need to stay still."

"I can't Odin."

Kurt's tailor sighed.

"I know you are excited but if you keep moving you are going to get poked by the needle."

"Why do we need to alter this outfit now? It looked fine."

"One, this is the outfit you are wearing for the parade and two, you can't look fine, you need to look perfect. The hem on these pants was way off. I have no idea how I did not see this when we first made these."

"Well, I haven't been here to try them on."

"I used the same measurements that I used to."

"Are you saying I'm getting fat?"

"Of course not. Besides fit is fine, it was just the hem of the legs."

"So I shrunk."

Odin laughed.

"Do not worry. Your shape changed. This happens when you are young. You look as amazing as ever. Or, my measurements are off. Now, stop moving and let me finish so you are not late."

The tailor finished his work and took a step back.

"Perfect. You can step down and look yourself over in the mirror and let me know if there is any other issues."

Kurt did as he was told but everything looked in place.

"Nope, looks perfect."

"Great. I will let you change and hurry to my room and finish correcting the hem."

Odin stepped out and Rachel came in the room.

"I can't believe this day is here," Rachel said as Kurt slipped back into his jeans.

"I know. I feel like this is a dream. Rach, can you run these to Odin so he can make the last corrections as soon as possible?"

"Of course," Rachel said grabbing the article of clothing and stepping out the door. When she reentered Kurt was lying on his bed.

"Rachel, am I fat?"

"No, no, no. You tell me I can never ask that question and the same goes for you. Plus, have you seen yourself? You're body is amazing. If you were straight, Finn would have some competition for my heart."

"Thanks, I think. So, what's going on with you and Finn?"

"Well, we are talking more and more and you keep deserting us when we have lunch or dinner so we have had lots of time to work on things."

"I am a busy man."

"Really, because last night the three of us were having dinner while Burt and Carole were out. You suddenly got a text and had to leave. The funny thing is that after you left the lights magically dimmed and romantic music came on."

Rachel glanced at her friend.

"That's odd. We should call an electrician."

"Oh, stop it, I know what you are up to."

The friends laughed.

"Are your dads here?"

"Not yet. They will be over soon."

There was a knock on the door and Finn entered.

"Oh, hi Rachel, I didn't know you were here already."

"I guess I am overly excited."

Finn smiled and so did Rachel.

"I'm sorry to disrupt the eye sex going on between you two but Finn, did you need something."

Finn suddenly looked away and blushed.

"Yes, I actually did need something."

Kurt waited for Finn to speak.

"Well, what is it?"

"Oh, right. Someone who came to the door left a letter for you. Sean was the one who answered the door but I said I would bring this to you," Finn said handing the letter to Kurt.

Kurt opened it but saw it more of a note than a letter.

'Please meet me in the garden as soon as you read this.'

"What does it say," Rachel asked.

"Nothing, important. I'm going to go downstairs and wait for Odin to finish the alterations."

Kurt quickly walked down the stairs and to the garden. He knew who sent that to him. He found his way to the garden and walked until he saw a man sitting on one of the benches. He looked up when he heard footsteps.

"Kurt, I am happy you came."

Kurt nodded.

"What do you have to say, Sebastian."


Blaine glanced up at the street sign, the down at his phone and then behind him. He was getting frustrated.

"Crap, what did she say? Left at this street and then a right? Or was I supposed to turn right back there and then a left? Or was it a left, left and right, right," Blaine wondered out loud.

Blaine knew one thing. He was lost.


Sebastian smiled as Kurt sat down next to him.

"Did you know it was me?"

"Of course. This is where we would always meet up when I snuck out."

Sebastian laughed.

"Good times. So, are you ready?"

"Please don't ask me that. That is all anyone has asked me today. Is that all you wanted?"

"I just wanted to talk. We haven't spoken in a while."

"I know. I have been busy."

"I understand that."

"I was going to call you when I got back but I forgot."

"Look, I get it, I do. The only reason I came here was for us to get closure. That way we can move forward."

"That's really mature. I'm not the only one who has changed."

Sebastian sighed.

"Yeah, well when your heart gets broken it changes your perspective."

"Dave?"

"We broke up."

"I read something a while back about you two. I didn't know if it was true."

"It is. He wanted to be official and I was to scared."

"Of what?"

"My dad."

"Your dad is an ass. Bas, you need to stand up to him. The reason he can run your life is because he knows you will let him."

"Can we not talk about my dad?"

Kurt nodded.

"Well, I am sure you and Dave will get back together."

"Not this time. He has already found someone new. I saw them together a few nights ago at a club. You could tell they were boyfriends. Did I make you feel this shitty when I would go out with others?"

"I don't want to make you feel worse but the truth is yes."

"I'm going to be alone forever."

"No, no you are not. You are going to find your perfect match. He is going to be someone who loves you and cares about you more than themselves and they are going to either stand up for you to your dad, attempt to get along with your dad or punch your dad for the way he has treated you in the past."

Sebastian and Kurt shared a laugh.

"You really think that person is out there?"

"Yes, but you might need to look outside of Denmark. That's where I found Blaine-"

Kurt instantly shut up. That was the first time he really thought about Blaine since he opened his gift from him.

"You two will find a way back to each other," Sebastian said.

"How do you know? It seems pretty impossible to me."

"I just do."

Kurt rested his head on Sebastian's shoulder. Kurt and Sebastian had a very affectionate friendship.

"So, are you still my friend," Sebastian asked.

"I'm sitting here next to you."

"Good. Because Rachel may be your best friend but you're mine."

"We will always be friends. Just not boyfriends."

"Kiss me."

"Seb, what did I just say."

"No, not a love kiss but a closure kiss. I promise, after this my lips will stay off yours."

Kurt leaned in and shared one last kiss with his exboyfriend. It was a simply, closed-mouth kiss but it was what Kurt and Sebastian needed. The emotions were not of passion and romantic love but of closure and moving on. They pulled away and smiled.

"Why did that kiss not have the spark," Kurt asked.

"I don't think we ever had a spark. We both just wanted one so we forced ourselves to think there was. Love shouldn't have to be forced," Sebastian said, "So, friends?"

"Friends. Besides, Blaine is a better kisser than you."

"You take that back."

"Never."

"Fine, me and my bruised ego will find our way out," Sebastian said with a smile.

Kurt walked with his friend out of the garden. As the walked back into the palace they ran into Burt.

"Kurt, where have you been? You need to get ready."

"The alterations are done?"

"They have been. Go find Odin, everyone needs to get in place."

"I was just walking Sebastian out."

"I will," Burt said.

Sebastian went pale and felt sick. This would not end well.

"Dad, no."

"I am not going to do anything. Promise."

Kurt looked between his father and friend and reluctantly headed in the opposite direction.

"Sir, I can walk myself out."

"Look, one, don't call me sir. Two, walk with me."

Sebastian obeyed and followed the king.

"Sebastian, you confuse me."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not really a bad thing. Well, you were a crappy boyfriend to my son but you were also an amazing friend to him as well."

"I don't understand what you are saying," Sebastian said as they approached the door.

"I understand that growing up with your father was-"

"Hell on Earth?"

"I was going to say difficult. However, recently, I have seen you try to break out from his shadow and influence and be a better man. I know that your dad was the one who informed the paparazzi where to find Kurt but I also know that you were the one who called the dean at Dalton and warned him."

"How do you know that?"

"Your father isn't the only one with connections."

"Well, I failed because some still found their way onto the campus."

"But you tried to protect Kurt and that is what friends do. So Sebastian, what I am saying is that you are welcome here as a friend of Kurt's but only as a friend."

"Thank you Burt. Kurt's friendship means a lot to me."

"I can see that," Burt said as Sebastian walked out the door.

Burt knew Sebastian would always be in Kurt's life but as long as it was in a platonic way (even though they are affectionate), Burt could deal with it.


About forty-five minutes later everyone was gathered outside the palace. Guards and others were starting to take their places. The roads were all blocked off for the parade route. It was time. Kurt, Finn, Rachel and their parents were standing around in the front.

"So, Hiram and Leroy, who will you be watching the parade with?"

"Our extended families have flown in from all around so they will be at the square with us," Hiram said.

"That is so nice for them to come," Carole said.

"It is good to see family. That is why we had to decline to ride with you and Burt."

In the very front will be select guards and various parade members. At the end were extra guards and an announcer who would announce the presentation of the royal family and king-to-be. First would be Burt and Carole followed Finn and Kurt. The doctors felt that there was to much of a risk for Burt to ride a horse. Even if he has a healthy heart, they recommended he ride in a car. Carole and Burt will be driven in a convertible.

"Well, we should be on our way," Hiram said.

"Before you go, Carole and I were thinking that since Finn and Rachel have been working on their issues that maybe Rachel could ride with Finn in the parade," Burt said.

"Well, that is fine with us if it is okay with the kids," Leroy said as the looked at Finn and Rachel.

"It would be an honor to be apart of this with my boyfriend," Rachel said before sharing a quick kiss with Finn.

"Hold up," Kurt said, "When did you two officially get back together?"

"After you left your room," Rachel said.

"Oh, ewww, you didn't do anything on my bed did you."

"Of course not, and why would you say that in front of my dads," Rachel said.

"Oops," Kurt replied and everyone laughed.

"We just talked everything threw and knew we belonged together," Finn stated.

"I am so happy," Kurt said hugging his friend and brother.

Once the stable workers arrived and helped everyone onto their horses they spoke to Finn.

"We told Burt this was okay because you usually ride Drizzle by yourself. Since the parade should not take to long we don't think the extra weight will hurt her, especially since this should be a one-time thing. However, we will be walking along the side and if it looks like the Drizzle is starting to struggle then we will have you both get down and walk with the horse," The first worker said.

"Like it was said, we are positive that there will be no problem but we do just want to be cautious," the second worker said.

Finn and Rachel nodded in agreement.

"You doing okay Drizzle," Finn asked and the horse neighed and Finn knew everything was fine.

A few short moments later the signal was given to start. The guards marched and Pav followed in step. Kurt sighed, straightened up and smiled and got ready to wave as he met the public.


Blaine sat on the sidewalk. He had no idea where to go. Finding Kurt was way harder then the thought it would be. He tried to go down a couple roads but they were blocked off for some reason. He decided he was going to have to find someone else to talk to. He started to walk down the sidewalk he was on when he saw large groups of people gathered down another street. When he got closer he noticed there were also people who looked like guards stationed in certain spots.

'Maybe I can ask one of them,' Blaine thought as he made his way to the crowd. He did not see a young girl and she ran into his leg.

"Oh my, I am so sorry," Blaine said.

"I'm fine," the little girl said before running off again.

"Wait, where are you going," Blaine called out.

"To the parade," the girl said.

"The parade?"

"Yes, it is a very exciting day. It is the official start of Prince Kurt's coronation. The parade is the first celebration."

"Has the parade gone by yet?"

"No, that's why I have to hurry back to my mom. I don't want to miss a second of it."

And with that the girl ran as fast as she could down the street.

'This is my chance,' Blaine thought.

He approached the crowd and found an open space. He looked down and saw that a variety of performers and officials had already gone by. When there was a loud voice that caught his attention.

"I am happy to present to you the royal family. Please draw your attention to your beloved King Burt and Queen Carole and Lord Finn. Now, please show your support to our future King of Denmark, Prince Kurt."

There was a roar of applause as the Hudson-Hummel's passed by the people. Blaine was in awe when he saw Kurt ride by. He looked absolutely stunning in his red royal suit with gold trim, buttons and embellishments. Blaine realized there was no way he was going to get Kurt's attention from where he was standing. So he thought with his heart and not his brain. He decided to leap over the barrier and run into the middle of the now empty rode.

"Kurt, Kurt," he yelled hoping to get his attention.

And then he regretted his actions because not only did Kurt hear him but so did everyone else and he had millions of eyes on him. He looked form the audience who were in shock to the guards who looked pissed. His head then turned to the actual parade and he saw everyone had stopped. However, they still had their backs to him.

'Crap, what the hell did I do. I really do not want to get arrested in a foreign country. Shit, the guards, who probably have sharp weapons, are heading toward me. I'm going to get arrested for terrorism or something,' Blaine thought.

Then, he saw Kurt start to move and look over his shoulder when his eyes locked with Blaine's.

"No way," Kurt said under his breath.

Burt noticed his son's reaction and told the guards to stop. As Kurt got Pav to turn around and slowly walk toward the boy the head of security pulled up to Burt.

"Sir, what do you want us to do? We have to protect you and your family."

Burt watched his son approach the person in the street.

"Burt, Burt," Rachel said trying to get his attention.

Finn signaled Drizzle to walk and stopped along side of the car.

"Rachel," Burt said wanting her to continue.

"That's Blaine. Blaine form Dalton. I know it is. It's the same person who was in the paparazzi pictures and in the one his friends sent him as a goodbye gift."

Burt nodded and turned back to he head guard.

"Tell the rest to back off. I don't believe this boy is threat or danger."

As the head guard signaled for everyone to go back to their spots Burt tried to get a good look at the boy.

'So that is Blaine Anderson.'


Kurt was hallucinating. There is no other explanation as to why he just heard Blaine call out to him. Blaine was in Ohio probably hanging out with Wes, David, Nick and Jeff. But, Kurt decided to see just how crazy he was and looked back and there Blaine was. As Kurt looked into Blaine's eyes he knew this was real and by some twist of fate he was in Denmark. Kurt felt his heart beat faster and faster. If he was in private he would of tackled the boy he was in love with right then and there. However, he had to have some tact. Kurt slowly made his way out of the parade line and got Pav walking in Blaine's direction. Their eyes never left each other. Pav stopped in front of Blaine.

"You're here," Kurt said.

"I am."

"I can't believe it."

"Me neither.

"What kind of person just gets on a plane and flies halfway around the world?"

"The crazy-in-love kind."

"If this is a dream I don't want to wake up."

"I second that."

Kurt smiled and reached his hand out to pull Blaine up but was blocked by Pav. Pav needed to check this guy out. Pav nudged Blaine and took in his scent. He turned his head at Kurt and Kurt smiled. Pav seemed to understand and let Kurt reach put his hand. Kurt noticed that Blaine looked scared.

"It's okay. He likes you," Kurt said.

Blaine grabbed on to Kurt's hand and found himself sitting behind Kurt.

"I would grab my waist of I were you," Kurt warned and felt Blaine tightly wrap his arms around him.

Suddenly, the parade lost all of Kurt's interest and Kurt had Pav speed off in the direction of the palace.


"Blaine you can open your eyes now."

"No, I don't want to see my life flash before my eyes."

"We have stopped moving."

"Oh."

Blaine opened his eyes and let go of Kurt. They were outside a stable. Kurt got off his horse and helped Blaine down.

"You haven't spent a lot of time around horses, have you?"

"No, not at all."

Kurt laughed as a stable boy came out.

"Prince, what are you doing back so soon? The parade isn't over."

The young boy then saw Blaine.

"Gamel, let Pav stay out in the sun for a little bit. Then bring him in."

"Yes, Sir."

As the worker walked the horse into the field Kurt tackled Blaine to the ground.

"You're here," Kurt said with a smile.

Blaine reached his hand up and ran it through Kurt's hair.

"So you are a real-life prince with a white horse. Could you fit the Disney prince stereotype any more?"

"Well, there is going to be a ball in my honor."

"Of course," Blaine said with a smile.

"I still can't believe you are here."

"I can't give up on us Kurt. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you left. It was just to hard."

Kurt leaned down and kissed Blaine. Blaine welcomed the kiss and deepened it. Kurt moaned into Blaine's mouth.

"God, I missed you," Kurt said as they pulled apart.

"I'm just happy I found you."

"I'm happy you don't hate me."

"Never. I love you," Kurt blustered out.

Blaine's eyes went wide.

"I love you too."

"This is not how I pictured this moment," Kurt said.

"But it's perfect," Blaine responded.

Kurt just nodded and went in for another kiss. They boys laid there, in the grass and wrapped their arms around each other. After a while of just holding each other, Kurt leaned in and gave Blaine another kiss. Kurt thought he would never have the chance to be with Blaine like this again. He was not wasting any time.

"I can't believe you are here. Like I said before, if this is a dream I don't want to wake up," Kurt said causing Blaine to smile.

"You don't have to. I'm here and this is reality. Kurt, I will spend the rest of my life apologizing for my past behavior."

Kurt stood up and pulled Blaine up with him. He wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck and pulled him close.

"Listen very carefully Mr. Warbler. You have done nothing wrong. That fact that you flew here just to find me shows so much. I love you so much."

"I love you too. That's why I'm here. I couldn't just sit at home and let you slip away."

Kurt teared up.

"Hey, no tears."

Kurt smiled.

"Happy tears, I promise. But you're right, no more tears."

"Come on, I want to show you around."

Kurt linked his arm with Blaine's and walked toward the palace.


When Blaine got a closer look at the palace, inside and out, Blaine was in awe.

"This is gorgeous," Blaine said as they walked into the palace.

"Trust me, this is just the start."

Before Kurt could start the grand tour a maid ran up to him.

"Prince, Prince, that goodness I found you. No one knew where you were."

"I wanted some privacy."

"Oh my, you have dirt all over yourself."

"It's fine. Trust me."

The maid then noticed Blaine's presence.

"Oh, I did not mean to interrupt."

"Don't worry but this is Blaine and he is a royal guest so make sure everyone treats him with the upmost respect."

"Of course. I will spread the news."

Kurt linked hands with Blaine and started to lead him down one of the many corridors when the maids voice caught his attention.

"I'm sorry Prince but before you and your guest run off you family is in the royal office. You father insisted on seeing you and Blaine as soon as you returned."

"Thank you. We will go right there."

Kurt went to walk in the direction of his father's office but was pulled back. Blaine was rooted in his spot. Blaine suddenly got very nervous.

'I am about to meet Kurt's family. A royal family, with a king. The King of Denmark wants to see me. Oh my god, I did not plan this far ahead. I think I am going to pass out.'

And that is exactly what he did.


Well, I was faster at updating this time! I will start writing the next chapter tonight or tomorrow. I will update as soon as I can.

I did do some research and it all said that step-children did not have a formal royal title. Well, I wanted to give Finn a title so that is why I made him a lord.

Please review =)

Next time: Kurt introduces Blaine to his family and Axel gives Blaine an icy welcome.
