DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN BROTHERS CONFLICT IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM
Ema walked around the grand scale Chandra Garden in awe at the beautiful flowers among the pathways, small manmade lakes and fountains.
It was calm, peacful and beautiful, it made her feel that she was in heaven.
"You seem well at ease my dear," Stephon noted as he looked at a different flower bed filled with yellow and pink flowers. He bent down and plucked one from the ground, sniffing at it.
"Grandfather! I thought you aren't allowed to pick the flowers here!" Ema scolded when she noticed.
"Well," King Stephon said slyly, "when you're king, you can bend the rules a little in certain situations."
"Hmm," Ema breathed, not too amused.
"Oh, pish-posh, you sound almost like your mother when you do that," Stephon said as he took another wiff from his flower, "she'd scold me wheneverI chose to pick a simple flower."
Ema loosen a little at his comment, comparing her to her mother.
"Look Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, look! It's the king and princess!" the two and gaurds suddenly heard a little girl call out and saw her trying to run at them. However her mommy was quick to grab and pull her back as Richard came and stood next to the king for protection.
"No-no honey, you can't get close to the king like that," the girl's mommy scolded as she pulled her away.
King Stephon smiled as he nodded at Richard and the approached the little girl.
"But a king can chose if he wishes to approach one of his subjects," he said. He then outstretched his hand and presented the little girl the flower, "and give a faithful subject a gift for their loyalty."
The girl gasped as she took the flower as though it was the most precious gift one could ever hope to receive.
"Mommy! The king gave me a flower! He gave me a flower!" she cheered.
"Yes, I see that," her mother replied, clearly surprised and excited over such a thing, "can you thank him?"
"Thank you, your majesty!" the little girl said as she did an adorable little curtsy, holding the hem of her shirt.
"You're welcome my dear," King Stephon said as he nodded to the girl and her mother before walking back towards Ema.
"That was sweet of you," Ema praised.
"I like it when children want to see me. Makes me feel like I still have much to give to my country if the newer generations like me," Stephon explained as they walked onward.
"Is that why you've come to like Wataru best out out of all my brothers?" Ema asked.
"Well that and he's just naturally likeable," said Stephon.
Ema was smiling with delight. "Yes, I have to agree with you there."
It was then as they rounded a bin that something caught Ema's attention. It was a beautiful white statue of a woman dressed in a medieval gown. She had long flowing hair and on top of her head was a wreath of flowers.
Ema looked down at the caption of the statue that read 'Queen Chandra 1st Queen of Elence, who brought the love of flowers to the country.'
She looked back up at the statue's face. The woman looked serious but sad as well.
"This is the 1st queen of Elence?" Ema asked out loud as Stephon joined her.
"Yes," Stephon confirmed, "and such a tragic life she lived."
"Why, was it really bad?" Ema asked a little alarmed.
"Well I'm sure you've heard how Elence wasn't the nicest of kingdoms when it was first established," Stephon started to explain.
"Yes, I do remember hearing that. The 1st king, King Henry wasn't a nice man in any sense," Ema recalled sadly.
"None of the first few kings were. For years they were know as tyrants," Stephon admitted sadly, "and in it's historically noted the first five known kings all abducted or organized the kidnapping of their wives."
"Oh!" Ema said in alarm, looking back to poor Queen Chandra's statue.
"Queen Chandra was miserable for being kidnapped and forced to marry such a man as Henry. So much in fake that she rejected and neglected all the children she bore to him and spent as much time away from the actual palace as she could. She found solace at the home of a well established duke of the relm and his wife. They had a lovely garden at their home that Queen Chandra could sit at and feel at ease. She considered both to be her best of friends. She even tried to arrange it that their daughter would marry her oldest son and be queen."
"I thought she neglected her children," Ema questioned.
"She did, she only barley took an intrest in them after their father died and her oldest son Henry the 2nd became king. He however was spiteful towards his mother and rejected his mother's marriage arrangement. He felt he should establish himself as king and that meant taking his own bride by any means possible."
"So that's why he abducted his wife?" Ema asked.
"Correct, Queen Elizabeth," said Stephon, "she took to her kidnapping and forced marriage at little more head on. In that she decided that if they were going to force her to be a queen, she'd give them a run for their money. She took a more hands on approach and tried to do more with her role.
So much so that when Chandra tried reaching out to her, to see if the two could be friends over their shared experience of being kidnapped and forced into marriage, Elizabeth flat out rejected her. She saw her mother-in-law as weak and scoffed her attempts of friends. It was said that was the last straw for Chandra and it was widely speculated she took her own life as a result."
"Poor Queen Chandra," said Ema softly.
"Yes, Queen Elizabeth actually felt guilt over that and she then arrange for Chandra's duke friend to make a garden at the palace in her honor. And that is what most consider to be the start of Elence future fame in agriculture."
"Oh, well, at least Chandra's memory is well known now. I wonder of she'd feel honored what happened because of her," said Ema.
"It would probably make her feel at peace," said Stephon.
"I'm curious though, what happened to the daughter of her duke friend she wanted her son to marry?" asked Ema.
"Oh, her second son, Prince Eugene, married her instead, which is an interesting part of history too. When Eugene took the bride that was meant for his brother Henry, the king saw it as an insult, as thoug they were mocking him. So he sent his brother to the farthest region in Elence to govern. That region would eventually evolved and break free into Poulon," Stephon said.
"Poulon use to be a part of Elence?" Ema asked.
"Hundreds of years ago. It's been its own kingdom for a long time," Stephon insisted.
"Still," Ema said as she kept walking with her grandfather. It truly felt joyous to have a nice quite time with him, enjoying the scenery and learning more about Elence's history.
Stephon was also enjoying the time with Ema and teaching her some more of her country. So much in fact he hated when he had to reluctantly look towards Richard.
Richard caught his gaze and headed closer to the king and whispered into his ear.
"They're still there, but I think Lady Beatrice has finished her declaration."
"Hmm," Stephon said looking at his watch, "well it is getting a little late anyway. Ema?"
"Yes Grandfather?" Ema said.
"Are you ready to go home?" Stephon asked.
"I suppose," Ema agreed, a little reluctant, "I'd like to do something like this some other time, if that's alright."
"You read my mind," Stephon replied with delight as he escorted her back to the waiting car.
Ema climbed in along with the king and soon took off with him.
"I think despite the attack at the reception, this has been a good day," Ema spoke up.
"I think so too, I've been filled with more since you and your brothers arraived," Stephon agreed.
"Oh thank you Grandfather, I'm so glad you're happy with them being here," said Ema.
"They're always going to be an important part of my life even when they're gone," Stephon confirmed, "and lord help anyone that would wish to do them harm!"
"So do we know where all the brothers are at the moment?" Robert asked as he stood in his own secret room along with Henry and his henchmen.
"I know the one she/he who's banging the Prime minister's daughter left earlier to apparently go dress shopping," one man spoke up.
"Did he?" Robert asked.
"Take at least one other man with you and find that one!" Henry ordered.
The man nodded, patting the shoulder of another and the two headed out.
"What about that one I saw leaving when we first arraived? Naughty or something like that?" Robert asked.
"The orange hair guy? No idea where he went," Henry admitted.
"Well find out, now!" Robert ordered, "he has an office or something?"
"Somebody check that out!" Henry snapped.
Another man quickly hurried out.
"Is there any other brother not here at the moment?" Robert asked.
"I think I heard somewhere that one brother that's been acting as the princess'..."
Robert shot the man a warning look.
"Who's been playing as the dumb girl's political representative is out at the moment with some dumb political chick he's hoping to bang," the man finished.
"Find if it's true and where they went!" Henry told him. He too nodded and hurried out.
"So all the others should be here? Right?" Robert asked.
"I believe so," said Henry.
"Alright, split everyone up into teams of two, even if two or more of the brothers are together and start to round them up. We have to work fast while uncle or his little play thing isn't here!" Robert ordered.
"Uh sir?" the man who had been tasked to search Natsume's office spoke up suddenly coming back in, "your uncle may not be here but we have a little snag. Someone important has arraived!"
"Someone important?" Robert asked, "who could be so important as to, uh-oh!"
"I hope maybe you can see Chandra Gardens during Easter," Stephon spoke, they somehow manage to cover the whole garden with eggs and children come from all over to hunt them!"
"Oh that does sound something that would be wonderful to see!" said Ema, "did you ever get to participate as a boy grandfather?"
"I did," Stephon confirmed, "it's customary for royalty to participate. The reigning king or queen starts the festivities and as long as any prince or princess wishes to participate in the actual hunt they may. They've even allowed older princes and princess to volunteer as helpers for the smaller children."
"Oh that's sweet, did you ever do that?" Ema asked.
"I did, many young children enjoyed having me help," Stephon started to explain, only to start laughing. "There was one year, in fact where, I wasn't a helper, I was just another child hunting eggs. But one of my brothers, George, had already filled his basket with eggs, deliberately went and snatched an egg up right as a boy much younger than him was also about to grab it. The poor boy, was probably only 3 or 4, started crying but George was I'm a price and I always get more eggs than commoners'. But so help, the minute George's back was turn, I snuck up behind him and snatched the egg from his basket, giving it back to the boy. His little face light up with happiness."
"That was sweet of you Grandfather!" Ema praised, "did your brother get mad at you for it?"
"I don't think he even noticed!" Stephon admitted, "and I never told him. It became my own little secret."
Ema smirked at her grandfather's confession.
"Uh, sir?" Richard suddenly spoke up.
"Yes?" Stephon acknowledged.
"It appears we have a guest for the ball arriving early," said Richard.
"Already?" Stephon asked, "who?"
Richard shifted his eyes before he said, "Lady Lilac."
Stephon's eyes widen. "She's coming?! I wouldn't imagine she'd want to!"
"Who's Lady Lilac?" asked Ema.
"The oldest member of the royal family, practically the oldest living person in Elence," said Stephon, "she was the sister of the 1st King Stephon, my great-grandfather."
Ema's jaw dropped, "oh my! I am surprised she's coming!"
"Yes, she's very old and fragile, and delicate," Stephon said, "and a touch senile. She always confuses me for her brother Stephon."
"How is she still alive?" Ema asked our loud unintentionally.
"That's one of the biggest mysteries of Elence, no one can figure out how or why she's still ticking!" said Stephon.
"You should hear what she calls Robert," Billy said with a smirk.
"Billy!" Richard warned.
"What? She's not too far off with it," Stephon said.
Bea and Tsubaki walked together happily hand in hand.
"Man that felt good!" Bea declared happily.
"I do believe you have history today my dear," Tsubaki said as he twirled Bea around.
"I'm anxious to see what the tabloids will say about this when it gets out," said Bea.
"They'll probably be talking about this for months!" said Tsubaki with glee.
"It could be good publicity for maybe getting noticed and eventually getting some directing gigs," said Bea.
Just then the two heard bells ringing loudly.
"Oh wow," Bea remarked.
"What?" Tsubaki asked.
"They only ring those bells when somebody important in the royal family has returned to the castle, like a former Prince or something. I wonder who it could be," Bea said as she hurried to the front doors. Tsubaki hurried after her.
When they came to the stairs, they saw the doors opening and two young men, Maybe Tsubaki and his brothers' age, helping to roll a feeble old woman in a wheelchair into the palace.
"Oh no way!" Bea said in shock, "she's still alive!"
"Who is she?" Tsubaki asked.
"Lady Lilac, King Stephon the 1st's sister!" said Bea.
"That's the king's sister?" asked Tsubaki.
"Well not current king stupid," Bea teased.
Tsubaki smirked at her.
"I'm talking about the King Stephon the current king's named after, his great-grandfather."
"No way, she's got to be over a hundred years old!" said Tsubaki.
"She's outlived all her kids and a few of her grandchildren!" Bea mentioned.
"Damn, what have they been feeding her all these years?" Tsubaki said.
"Not sure, but her mind's certainly gone! She's always confusing others for people she knew long ago," said Bea, "watch, she always refers to me as Princess Eleina."
"Who?" Tsubaki asked as he followed her down the stairs.
"One of Queen Katherine's sisters and Lady Lilac's niece. She was one of those free spirited daydreaming types. I guess Lady Lilac sees a little of her in me."
They had just reached the bottom of the stairs as Lady Lilac's two helpers had fully finished getting her inside and some more had started to bring in their luggage.
"There we go Great-Granny," one of her helpers.
"Thank you Andrew," said Lady Lilac in a gentel and fragile voice.
"We let's get you to your room, hmm?" said the other.
"Yes, Edmund, thank you," said Lilac.
"No Great-granny, I'm Owen remember?" the man asked.
"Hmm?" Lilac said before she noticed Tsubaki and Bea.
"Eleina, found yourself a new play thing huh? i thought your father told you to stop playing in the fantasy world!"
"Great-Granny, this isn't Eleina, this is Beatrice, remember?" Andrew told her.
"No, it's okay," Bea assured as she approached Lilac, "hello my lady."
"Write any good stories lately dear?" Lilac asked.
"No not lately," said Bea.
"Let me see your new guy! He looks Asian," Lilac as she motion for Tsubaki to come closer.
Tsubaki reluctantly did as she wished and came closer to the old woman.
"Mmm," Lady Lilac said looking Tsubaki over. She somehow managed to grab his shirt and pulled him closer.
"Mmm, you are cute!" she said, "tell me, if I was my niece's age, do you think I'd have a chance?"
"Uh, well um, sure?" Tsubaki said.
"Oh, thank you," Lilac said as she let go of Tsubaki's shirt, "well, better go pay my respects to the king. Let's go boys, find me my brother!"
"Sorry about that," Owen apologized to Tsubaki as he helped push his grandmother's wheelchair to the lift.
"It's cool," Tsubaki assured him. "I actually think it's a little flattering she thinks I'm cute," he said to Bea.
"Oh, so that's who the bells were for," Markus was saying as he came down the stairs, "welcome Lady Lilac!"
"Rubert!" Lilac said happily as she outstretched her arms for an embrace.
"Hello Lilac, good to see you again!" Markus said as he let the feeble old woman wrap her arms arouns his neck as best she could.
"Did she just call him Rubert?" Tsubaki asked.
"Her other brother besides the king," Bea explained, "a real awesome guy who even though he wanted to be king, never did anything sneaky and or evil to do it. He's probably more well known in this country than a few of the actual kings the ruled. That includes his dad and brother."
Tsubaki just shrugged his shoulders at the explanation.
"Do you know where Stephon is at the moment, Rubert?" Lady Lilac asked as he grandson kept pushing her to the lift.
"No, I'm afraid I don't. He is king after all and thereof has a lot to do," said Markus as he walked along side her.
"He's too much like father isn't he?" Lady Lilac said.
"I'm sure he'll come to see you or summon you to see him first chance he has," Markus assured her as he helped Andrew and Owen get Lady Lilac's chair into the elevator.
"Yes, you better make sure he does!" Lilac insisted, "by the way, how's Katherine doing?"
"She's well, don't you worry," Markus assured her.
"Feel I haven't seen her in forever," Lilac remarked as the doors shut.
Markus shook his head before he noticed Tsubaki and Bea.
"So, Tsubaki, I saw you meant Lady Lilac," he said as he walked over to the pair.
"Yeah," Tsubaki said casually.
"She confuse you for anyone?" Markus joked.
"Just, um, Eleina was it?, play thing," Tsubaki said.
"She still confusing you for Elaina huh?" Markus teased Bea.
Bea just shrugged, "could be worse."
"True," Markus agreed, "course I always enjoy it when she confuses me for Rubert, I like being compared to my great-grandfather. Oh, by the way Bea, I saw your parents earlier. They didn't appear too happy."
"Hmm, yeah, I um, called off my so called engagement with Robert," Bea remarked casually.
"You did what?" Markus asked, looking both confused and amused.
"I called off the engagement, or whatever it was. Just basically I'm not going to marry him and nothing he or my parents can do that can make me marry him against my will," Bea explained.
Markus looked like he was doing his best to try suppress a laugh as he tried looking away.
"Another proud Embarrassment for the Mahtters," he said with clear amusement.
"Like I give a shit!" Bea muttered.
"You'll probably be the first in your family to not," said Markus, "well whatever happens to you Beatrice, I wish you the best of luck! Though, I have no doubt you'll do fine. Even if you're reduced to a commom job."
"That would be an interesting job," Bea said as she took Tsubaki's hand and the two walked off with him.
Markus seemed to smirk as Bea and Tsubaki walked away.
"What an remarkable day this is turning out to be," he said to himself.
"I can't believe I spent the whole day here with you," Elizabeth was saying as she walked with Kaname, getting ready to meet their sister and brother for dinner.
"Well, I'm sure you can just write it off as a culture discussion with a Japanese ambassador," Kaname suggested smugly.
"Sure, that what this was," Elizabeth muttered, right as they heard some commotion.
They kept walking to see a huge group coming out of an elevator including a woman in a wheel chair.
"Ia that Lady Lilac?" Elizabeth asked out loud.
"Another relative of my sister's?" Kaname asked.
"About her oldeat living relative," said Elizabeth.
It was then Lady Lilac seemed to notice the pair, even holding up a pair of opera glasses.
"Who's there? Since when the palace recruit a new holy man?" she asked.
Her two grandson looked at Kaname.
"No Great-Granny, he's not a holy man," Andrew said.
"Sure he is, can't you just see that by his apperance?" Lady Lilac insisted.
Kaname looked down at his casual dress and shrugged.
"I can see that my lady has been bleased with remarkable eye sight," he said as he came and knelt down next to her chair.
"You also look a little like that new plaything Elaina has now. Any relation?" Lady Lilac asked.
"Hmm?" Kaname asked a little confused.
"The gentleman downstairs with Lady Beatrice," Owen told him, "I'm guessing you and he are the stepbrothers of the new princess Emma."
"Emma? What's wrong with that name?" Lady Lilac spoke up.
"Yes, I would assume you're speaking of my brother Tsubaki, he's been getting friendly with the dear Lady Bea," Kaname said, "and we are sweet Ema's brothers."
"Ema, I like that name better," Lady Lilac also said.
"Happy to meet you, my brother Andrew and I are the current Lady Lilac's caregivers and for some reason when we got the invitation to the ball Great-Granny decided she wanted to come," Owen told Kaname.
"Well, I'm sure my sister will be happy she came so she can meet more family," said Kaname, "and you know, your great-granny isn't totally off. I am a Buddhist monk."
"Oh," Andrew and Owen both said a little embarrassed.
"I hope you are offering up prayers for my brother and Katherine. With that brut rising to power in Germany, we could be in serious trouble!" Lady Lilac declared.
"I see the lady has a little trouble with her memories," Kaname said.
"That's putting it lightly," Andrew said as they made their way to a nearby room.
"I hope she doesn't get too mad if she finds out you all are Japanese and your sister's half-Japanese," Elizabeth sais as she walked to join Kaname.
"Well, we've had a few decades to mend most of the sour-feelings between all of us," Kaname said calmly as he took Elizabeth's hand and tried to lead her off. Only to have their path blocked by Robert.
"Out of my way you! I must see who this important guest that's arraived!" he ordered as he all but shoved the pair off to the side. He stormed past them along with Henry and a few of his other men. One stopped in front of Kaname, almost as if he was standing gaurd, not going to let Kaname move.
Kaname just started back at him, with a calm relaxed smile.
Elizabeth however leaned in closer to him, a little afraid.
"Um, Sir Asahina, we should probably be going if we're to meet your brother and my sister!" she said urgently, trying to urge him on.
"Hmm, you're right," Kaname agreed calmly as he then walked past his little gaurd and kept walking.
The gaurd walked back towards his bosses and did his best to get closer to Henry.
"I just heard, the monk guy who made Lord Robert punch me is going to meet another brother for dinner," he whispered.
"Get three other men and follow," Henry ordered.
"If you like Mr. Mayter, I wouldn't mind sitting down and hearing your arguments for dissolving the monarch," Louis offered as he, Sophie and Alex walked along together.
"That's kind of you to offer," Alex replied kindly, "I'll keep that in mind."
"You said the king's met with your father?" Louis asked.
"Yeah, twice, and it's not like he doesn't understand why it's still going. Also doesn't mean he won't keep trying," Alex said.
"Sophie, guess who's here!" Markus suddenly said as he came up to his niece.
"Who uncle? I hearc the bells just now," said Sophie.
"Lady Lilac," said Markus with delight.
"Oh, I wouldn't have imagined!" said Sophie.
"That old pile of bones is still alive?" Alex asked.
"And kicking, Mr. Mayter," said Markus, "Louis you should come meet her! She's your oldest living relative!"
"Um, alright," Louis agreed as he joined Markus and Sophie. He looked back at Alex.
"Mr. Mayter?"
"I'll be okay, you go on," Alex assured him as he headed off on his own.
Alex admired the palace scenery as he walked past.
'If didn't bring death, it'd be nice to see this stay up,' he thought. Then he noticed a few men who didn't appear too friendly looking walking around.
"I think two are actually out in the barn while another is in the gym," one was saying.
"Remember what Henry said, groups of 2 for each brother," another said as they kept walking.
'Brothers?' Alex thought. The word triggered a gut feeling in him. So he decided to go after the group.
Louis followed Markus and Sophie to a new room in time to see Robert go in first.
"Oh this is going to be good," Markus said with his usual smirk.
"Huh?" Louis said right as an old angry shot rang out,.
"NAZI!"
"Is that you Great-Aunt Lilac?" Robert asked as he reluctantly walked into the room.
The minute the old woman looked up him, she pointed at him and shouted mad, 'NAZI!"
"Oh god here we go!" Robert muttered before walking over to Lady Lilac. "I'm not a Nazi! I'm not even German. I don't have any German blood in me!"
"Not all Germans were Nazis and and not all Nazis are German!" Lady Lilac argued back, "you just wait until my brother or niece shows uo. They won't tolerate you being here in case you forgot!"
"Does she always call Robert a nazi?" Louis asked as he came into the room with Markus and Sophie.
"Mostly started after his mother died and he became Stephon's officially heir," Markus explained.
"Well what about him?!" Robert shouted pointing to Louis, "he's Japanese!"
"He was raised Japanese, big difference," Markus said.
"Who is that?" Lady Lilac as she held up her opera glasses, "he looks familiar. Scott maybe? Didn't Katherine name her second son Scott?"
"You must be Walter's son!" Owen said in shock.
"Wow, it's amazing you're still alive!" said Andrew.
"Scott, come here boy!" Lilac ordered. Louis obayed and knelt next to her. Lilac studied him.
"You must be Scott, who else could you be?" She asked.
"He's Scott's great-grandson Great-granny," Andrew tried to say.
"Hmm? No, no I know Scott! He's a kind caring boy! The best of the 4 I think. Even Albert! Or is it Alfred?" Lilac insisted.
"She's thinks I'm my great-grandfather?" Louis asked.
"That's because she's lost all what's left if her mind!" Robert said with a sneer, "you heard what she called me!"
"Yes well," Markus said.
"Cousin!" Robert muttered.
"Rubert! There you, find Stephon or Katherine! Get this Nazi and his men out of here!" Lilac quickly said.
Robert looked like he wanted to strangle the woman but was able to restrain himself.
"Sophie, darling! Don't be in here with the nazis! Get out of here before one tries something with you!" Lady Lilac also ordered Sophie, "Rubert what are you doing exposing your daughter to such people. You should send her back to my villa with my family!"
"My apologies Lady Lilac," Markus said.
Just then Stephon walked in.
"Sorry I'm late, Hello Lilac," he said as he walked in.
"Stephon! My dear brother!" Lady Lilac said happily outstretching her arms yet again.
"Still calls me her brother I see," Stephon said as he walked over and let the woman hug him.
"I was hoping you weren't too busy to see your little sister," said Lilac.
"Never," Stephon assured her.
"And where's...," Lady Lilac started to ask, only to pause when she saw Ema also enter the room.
"Katherine! Here you are! I haven't see you in almost in forever!" Lady Lilac called out ushering Ema over to her.
"She thinks I'm Queen Katherine?" Ema asked.
"It's actually a compliment," Markus told her, "she adored her niece, and she must see Katherine in you."
"Oh," Ema said as she slowly walked over to Lady Lilac. As she past the two grandsons, both bowed their heads in respect. When Ema stopped in front of Lilac, the old woman took Ema's hand.
"You're going to be an ideal someday my dear. Don't let the men tell you otherwise!" she told Ema.
"Um, thank you?" Ema said not sure what to say.
"Except she's not going to be queen! I'm next in line!" Robert spoke up.
"Quiet Nazi!" Lilac snapped, "how dare you speak in my brother's precense without his permission! He's a king after all!"
"Did she call you a nazi?" Ema asked.
"Even though I'm not! Hell you're the one who's Japanese!" Robert snapped.
"The Japanese? Oh yes, but they paid the price. That terrible bomb," Lady Lilac said softly.
"I'm half Japanese my lady," Ema tried to say.
"Oh Katherine, don't worry. Someday I'm sure we'll make peace with Germany, Italy and Japan. As long as they get rid of all the NAZIS!"
Robert groweled.
"I'm out of here. Don't know why I even tried!" he declared as he walked out.
"Do you still want to go through with everything, even though your uncle's back?" Henry asked.
"Now more than ever. I hate it when that old hag calls me a nazi!" Robert muttered.
"Good riddance!" Lady Lilac said, "you do good at keeping that filth away!"
"Of course Lilac," Stephon as he walked over to her grandsons and started to talk.
"And you" Lilac spoke up, "don't you be afraid to stand up to them! You're going to be queen someday and I know you can stand up to that nazi scum when that happens if they're still around!"
"Uh, thank you," said Ema. She wondered if the woman really thought she was talking to Katherine or if she was actually talking to Ema herself. It felt a little of both.
