A/N- the video is of Prince and Skye's dance at the dinner🤗🤗

"And as you can see on your screen, the members of Parliament have started arriving at the palace. there is the Minister of Health, she has been in this position since the reign of the now king father, Sir Luke of Lololand"

Benedict munched on some chips whilst he watched Tv. He hears soft snoring beside him and frowns. He nudges Xavier on the shoulder.

"Hey wake up"

Xavier slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Benedict.

"I'm not sleeping" he says and Benedict watched as the man fell back asleep. He sighed and focused back on the tv.

"The event was organised by His Majesty the Queen, Queen Skye as his first event since he has been crowned two years ago. And as you can see, the guards tonight are wearing their Knight attire, honouring the first ever state dinner that was held in Lololand in the year, 1815."

Benedict was captivated by the whole thing. The decor was so beautiful. He wonders what the royal wedding will even look like!

"I can't wait to see Skye"

Prince and Skye make their way downstairs where Luke and Star were waiting. Luke was wearing a black tuxedo while Star was wearing a lavender ball gown, the neckline lined up with crystals. Both royals wore the royal sash and order with Prince's portrait attached.

The King father and Queen mother respectively bow and curtsey to the king and queen before they smile at them.

"I must say, you two really are a perfect couple. I see why the people of Lololand adore both of you" Luke said as he admired their outfits.

Prince smiled at his parents.

"So shall we? Has the prime minister arrived yet Mr Liam?" He asked.

"I have been informed Lady Portia has just entered the premises"

Prince nodded and fixed the sash over his shoulder.

"Let's get this done with"

Since the banquet hall was on the other wing of the palace, they had to walk all the way. Skye was quite taken aback by the guards giving them a salute as they walked past them. They reach the banquet hall and Prince feels Skye's grip on his hand tighten. He looks over to his Queen and gives him a reassuring smile.

"You got this Princess"

The national anthem begins to play, Skye nodded and takes a deep breath.

"We got this"

"God save the King and his faithful Queen. May their reign over Lololand be of honest virtue. May our land be blessed by the Lord with rains and endless wealth, God bless the king, ruler of Lololand"

Benedict gasped when the doors opened as Prince and Skye stepped inside the hall. Their outfits, their whole demeanour was so....out of this world"

"His Majesty the King and His Highness the Queen make their way inside, behind them is the King father and his wife the Queen mother. Can we talk about the tiara the Queen is wearing? I believe that is the Anglesey tiara, it hasn't been worn for decades. A true gem, like our queen. You can also see the coronet on the King's head, it was custom made by cartier"

Benedict was excited for his brother. To see him being celebrated like this was so exciting!

"You got this Skye"

Skye walked behind Prince as they meet and the members of Parliament. He is suddenly pulled to the front by his fiancé and he frowns.

"What about Protocol?" He asked. Prince held his hand tighter.

"Don't worry about that now, I just need to feel your presence next to me"

Skye blushed, so Prince was nervous just like him?

"Lady Portia" Prince said. The Prime Minister gave them a curtsey and smiled.

"Your Majesties. I'm so happy to be here."

"I do hope you will enjoy the night."

She smiled gave them a nod.

"I will, thank you"

Prince sees Liam walking towards them.

"Your Royal Highness, it's time for the opening dance"

"Of course"

They make their way to the other side of the hall, Skye hears the music begin and he takes a breath and smiles at Prince who gave his waist a light tickle.

"Relax, just follow the beat of the music"

Dmitri Shostakovich's Waltz no.2 started from the top and the royal couple followed the beat. A few gasps and cheers filled the room as they danced. Skye smiled at Prince and laughed softly.

The music stops and the hall was filled with cheers and applause. Prince held his fiancé close and whispers into his ear.

"You did amazing."

After the entrees and main course, it was time for Prince to make his speech, welcoming Lady Portia to her new duty as Prine minister. Everyone in the hall was silent the moment Prince stood up, he smiles and looked around before he began to speak in a voice full of confidence and clarity, like the true king he is.

"Lady Portia, I do hope your run as the prime minister works for the benefit of my people and I trust and believe that we will work together to archive that. The Queen and I were very excited to have you as our guest of honor tonight, and with everyone holding their glasses up, we wish you a successful-"

Prince is interrupted by his father giving him a tap on the shoudler. Skye watched in confusion as Prince's face morphed from shock to sadness.

Prince cleared his throat.

"I have been informed of the worst news. Everyone, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that Her Royal Highness, her Majesty the Queen, Queen Elizabeth II of The United Kingdom has passed"

There was a collective gasp and people began to leave the hall, the flashing of cameras made Skye's vision blurry.

What had just happened?!

═───────◇───────═

Benedict was dumbfounded. The way people were leaving that hall was just trauma inducing. He saw a glimpse of Skye and he was just massaging his eyes.

"Oh God...this is tragic"

═───────◇───────═

By the early morning, Skye bid his fiancé goodbye as he was heading to London. He knew that Prince's family shared a bloodline with the UK royal family so it made sense for the king to be there.

Since he and Prince were not married yet, Skye was to remain in Lololand in order to honor the Protocol of the English royal family.

"Call me when you arrive okay"

Prince nodded and hugged his fiancé, taking in his scent for the last time.

"I will, are you sure you can handle being alone?"

"Yeah, your father is here to help me"

Since Prince was leaving for a few days, the person in charge will now be Skye.

Prince gives Skye a long passion driven kiss, holding the man by the head as the kiss deepened. Skye's grip on Prince's shirt tightened before he pulled away.

"I love you"

Prince kissed him again.

"Love you too"
