Chapter Text

“Your Highness, we have arrived,” Shaan said, startling the two boys awake.

 

“What, oh, uhh, thanks, Shaan,” said a very groggy Henry.

 

As Amy opened the door to the plane, the two boys looked at each other as if saying Are you ready to go meet Swedish us .

 

The two walked off the plane and got into a car, with Shaan in the front seat and two cars following close behind, one with Amy and one with three royal protection officers. As they pulled into Hillerska, immediately, all heads turned to the mini parade of black, tinted, bulletproof cars.

 

“Sirs, I have just received word that the headmaster would like to speak to you before you speak with any students,” Shaan said through the now rolled down divider.

 

“Oh, uhh, sure, that's fine,” Henry replied. He looked at Alex with a look of confusion and slight worry. Alex gave him back a look, like everything will be fine, she probably just wants to meet us, but inside, Alex got even more nervous.

 

The cars pulled around back where there weren't any students, just headmistress Annete. The car parked, and the driver opened the boys' doors, and soon they were face to face with a lady who looked sweet enough to be someone's grandma, but at this moment looked so scary to both Henry and Alex.

 

“Hello, Your Royal Highness, Hello, Mr. Claremont-Diaz,” she said with a slight bow. “Welcome to Hillerska, I hope your ride here was alright,” said the headmistress in an unsettling tone.

 

“Hello, headmistress. Our travel was fine, thank you,” said Henry

 

“Yes, what an honor to meet you,” Alex said.

 

The three exchanged pleasantries until Alex asked the question they were both thinking. “So, uhh, headmistress-”

 

“Please call me Annette.”

 

“Annete, why did you have us come here before any students saw us?” Alex asked.

 

The silence was short but loud. “Well, you see, it's not every day two of the most influential people, from the most prominent countries in the world, come to my school, and well, with everything going on recently, I thought I'd better see what it is you both came all this way for.”

 

“Aah, well, that is the reason we are here,” Henry said, rubbing his hands together nervously.

 

“Oh, ok, may I ask why?”

 

“Well, I'm sure you have heard our story from last year.”

 

“I do recall hearing about it, yes,” she said

 

“Well, if you think about it, what happened to your student, the prince, is almost identical to what happened to us.”

 

“I see, so you're here to give advice?” she asked.

 

“Yes, exactly!” Henry said a little too cheerfully for her tone.

 

“I see well, I hope you succeed in your goals,” she said, smiling a fake smile.

 

“Thank we will try,” Alex said. Then they all exchanged goodbyes, and the two boys got back in the car.

 

“That was weird, right?” Alex asks his boyfriend.

 

“I don't know, maybe she's just busy trying to handle the fact that the biggest scandal in Sweden is happening in her school,” Henry tried to offer.

 

“Maybe. But I don't know her vibe, just seemed off.” 

 

As many kinds there were when they first arrived seemed to have doubled in size, with all heads and eyes following every movement of the car. “God, I will never get used to this,” Henry said with a shiver.

 

The car parked, and the two boys gave each other a look and each took a deep breath before getting out. They are used to going to new places, meeting new people, getting watched, and everything else that comes with being a figurehead for a country, but this time just feels different. As soon as they step out, at least a dozen girls all start screaming together in Swedish. 

 

Someone from the school leads them inside and to Wilhelm's room. Three knocks on the door and “Excuse me, Your Royal Highness, but the Crown Prince has visitors,” said Wilhelm's security. 

 

“Send them in,” replies the crown prince.

 

And so, the First Son of the United States and the Prince of England walked into the Crown Prince of Sweden's bedroom.
