It’s time for your The Princess Diaries (And Me) Chapter 10 Teaser!
“Let’s be honest, you’ll be the better King between the pair of us, anyway.”
“I don’t know about that,” Chris countered, shaking his head. “You have more firsthand experience with this governing stuff than I do.”
“And you know more about taking the moral high ground, being fair and compromising. Your stories taught you all of that.”
“Fairytales don’t teach you to be a leader,” Chris said, “I’m a total city slicker and that whole place is like this idyllic utopia straight out of a Disney movie. I don’t know that I could do what my Aunt does. I don’t know that I could always be so good at listening, sit for hours in the Throne Room, trying to make the people’s problems go away.”
Zach tilted his head at that, raising his eyebrows, “Wait, she actually sits on the throne and ‘receives the people’ with their issues? For real? They line up to be heard one at a time?”
“Yeah,” Chris nodded, “Do you not do that?”
“Um, no?” Zach laughed incredulously. “That’s some medieval shit right there. I’m sure there’s an office somewhere where people send letters and they get filtered up the food chain, but getting something done like that with five million people? I’d never leave the damn chair.”
Chris chuckled, “True. I think my Aunt just likes doing it.”
“Did you like it there?” Zach asked curiously. “That was the first time I’d ever been to Genovia.”
Chris thought back to those two weeks. Even with the crazy schedule and the culture shock, he couldn’t pretend he didn’t enjoy parts of it, the beautiful quiet countryside, the people, his friends on the staff, the food, and admittedly, the opulent lifestyle too. “Yeah. I did.”
Zach stared up at him, whispering, “Do you like it here? With me?”
Chris pulled his fingers through Zach’s silky hair, looking down at the soft, warm caramel of his eyes, “Yeah. I do.”
