George Alexander III

The Story Continues...in George Alexander Chapter 3. The preparations for King Louie Maria 's banquet continue. Meanwhile , Edward Polise and the Republicans are also trying to promote the overthrow of the Monarchy.

(The Scene is in Buckingham Palace)

Duke Theodore: Your Majesty , the preparations for the Royal Banquet for King Louie are complete. Security has also tightened as we fear an attack from the Republicans or Princess Maria.

King Harold: Does Crown Prince George know what to do in an emergency , should the republicans rebel?

Duke Theodore: Duke Micah , as you have assigned , will assist him. Duke Micah is well-trained in military affairs. Rest asssured , Your Majesty.

King Harold: Duke Theodore , I will like you to bring Queen Alexandra , Crown Prince George and Lord John here.

Duke Theodore: Yes , Your Majesty.

Servant: (10 minutes later) The arrival of Her Majesty The Queen , His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency Lord John.

Duke Theodore: I have summoned them here on Your Majesty 's order.

King Harold: Good. You may leave now. Thank You.

Duke Theodore: Yes , Your Majesty. (Leaves)

King Harold: Now , Alexandra , George , John, I have gathered you here for a reason. If you realise , we are the Royal Family. Alexandra , my consort. George , my son and heir. John , you are George 's uncle by Queen Juliana , and thus a Royal Family member.

Crown Prince George: I realise that , father.

Queen Alexandra: So , what is your purpose of gathering the Royal Family here , Your Majesty?

King Harold: I am old and have lived a meaningful life. I lived through various phases : Prince-hood , My First Reign , Imprisonment , Shipwrecked in The Bahamas where I met Queen Alexandra , Exile in America , Life as a rebel against the Nexalian and Cutezeian Dynasties and finally my Second Reign. I will go soon. I wish to make it clear that Queen Alexandra , even though not Crown Prince George 's mother , shall adopt the tittle Queen Dowager after my death.

Crown Prince George: I respect your wishes , Father.

King Harold: Lord John , you shall be promoted to Grand Duke John , as you are George's Uncle through Queen Juliana.

Lord John: Yes , Your Majesty. Praise your wisdom.

Queen Alexandra: Your Majesty , you will live a ripe long life. I hope I die first. (Cries) I was lost when I exiled in The Bahamas and then I finally met you. You are a light in my life , mt beloved King.

King Harold: I love you too , Alexandra. Even when I married Queen Juliana , my heart never forgot you.

Crown Prince George: (Gives a Frown) Father , how could you be so disloyal to Mother? Uncle , say something!

Lord John: Queen Juliana may have been my sister , but let us not be rude to His Majesty , George.

Crown Prince George: (Defensively) Mother was ever virtous , and she was the most popular Queen of our Alexanderian Dynasty. Her approval ratings never slipped below 87 % and her all time highest approval rating was 99% and that lasted for 5 years.

Lord John: She also did our Treynius Family Proud.

King Harold: For Your Information , your Mother voluntarily relinquished Consortship due to her illness. I was reluctant to let her go.

Crown Prince George: Sigh , she was a great woman. I miss her. I wish that King Louie will be taken to her grave as part of the visit.

Queen Alexandra: Please grant his wish , Your Majesty.

King Harold: Very Well. Anyway , the banquet is in 5 days.

(The Scene is in Princess Maria 's Palace)

General Kevin: Greetings , Your Highness. I have secretly returned from Sweden to aid Your Highness.

Princess Maria: Do you know of the whereabouts of my brother King William?

General Kevin: He has gone missing. I suggest we stage the coup first and then rule in his behalf until he returns.

Princess Maria: We shall appeal to Lord Alexei and Pope Innocent III for help.

General Kevin: Good Idea. Please write a letter to Lord Alexei while we travel to Rome to mee this Holiness.

(The Scene is at the banquet in Buckingham Palace. King Louie has arrived. Some Nobles are already present.)

King Harold: All rise to welcome the arrival of His Majesty King Louie Maria , Autocrat of The French People and Ruler of all France.

Queen Alexandra: Welcome , King Louie. I am Queen Alexandra , King Harold 's Consort.

King Louie: You are very elegant today. Your beauty is like that of a swan , your scent like a rose.

Queen Alexandra: Oh , Thank You.

Duke Theodore: (Salutes) I am Duke Theodore of Edinburgh.

King Louie: I see. Please join us for dinner.

Duchess Elizabeth: Welcome , Your Majesties. Please take your seats on the banquet table. I am Duchess Elizabeth of Cardiff. My husband , Duke Edwin will come soon. What wine do you like , Your Majesty?

King Louie: Red Wine. Thank You. (Seats Down)

King Harold: (Seats Down) It has been ages since we met , Louie.

King Louie: Yes , Harold. I have not been to England since your first reign. Congratulations on reestablishing your throne.

King Harold: Oh No Problem. Anyway , it has been ten years now. Anyway , I was hoping we could discuss some deals between our two Kingdoms?

King Louie: Oh yes , sure. I was also hoping so. Maybe we can have more trade agreements.

King Harold: Yes , what do you think , Lord Alexei? He is our Royal Economist.

Lord Alexei: Your Majesty , It will have economic benefits for both Kingdoms.

Duke Jude: (Arrives) Sorry I am late , Your Majesty. I am Duke Jude and this is my wife Duchess Jill. We govern Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

Duchess Jill: Sorry , but we were delayed by the Republicans..

King Louie: What Republicans?

King Harold: (Staring at Duchess Jill) Oh Nothing , they are just some pesky rebels. Do not worry , my son , Crown Prince George is personally in charge of the security. That is why he is not present.

King Louie: I see. Who are you? (Points to Grand Duchess Alicia)

Grand Duchess Alicia: I am King Harold 's former wife. (Narrates Story)

King Louie: I see. Pope Innocent III? Hmm. I shall be wary of him. Anyway , I am hungry.

Grand Duchess Alicia: Well , people , serve the food.

Lady Susan: I am Grand Duchess Alicia's Lady in Waiting.

(Food is laid on the table and The Royals and Nobles begin eating)

Grand Duchess Alicia: The soup is personally prepared by me.

King Louie: What an esquitite dish! Delicious! Bon Appetit!

Queen Alexandra: Duchess Elizabeth , Duchess Jill , Grand Duchess Alicia and myself are in charge of the food and entertainment. Look at those graceful dancers.

King Louie: (exclaims) Ah....Wow...what a beautiful sight.

Duke Edwin: (Rushes In) Your Majesty , sorry I am late. But Cardiff was filled with so many republicans...that I was stuck there. My wife left early and thus she reached on time.

King Louie: What did the Republicans do?

King Harold: (Stares at Duke Edwin) Do not worry...they will not get close to Buckingham Palace.

Duke Theodore: Your Majesty , I think I should go and assist Your son and Duke Micah.

King Harold: No stay with me. I need your presence later.

(After The Banquet, King Harold and King Louie proceed to a private room to negotiaite deals. Queen Alexandra , Duke Theodore and Lord Alexei follow them.)

King Harold: So let us have more economic common policies?

Lord Alexei: Both France and England will benefit.

King Louie: Ok. (Signs)

King Harold: Now , I also want something. We can run to each other countries in event of emergency?

Queen Alexandra: We can save each other 's lives then.

Duke Theodore: Yes. Foreign Rulers are quite safe overseas.

King Harold: Please agree , Louie.

King Louie: Ok. (Signs)

King Harold: We will now go and visit Queen Juliana 's grave , Louie. Queen Alexandra and Lord Alexei , stay here. Only Duke Theodore shall follow me. Lord Alexei , send someone to inform Duke Micah and Crown Prince George to remain at their post.

(The Scene is at the security outpost near Buckingham Palace.)

Duke Micah: Your Royal Highness , do not fear. The rebels are not anywhere near Buckingham Palace.

Crown Prince George: Thank The Lord. By the way , what have the rebels damaged?

Duke Micah: They almost took over Cardiff. That is scary.

Lady Susan: (Walks In) Micah , Their Majesties are going to visit Queen Juliana 's grave , away from the Palace. However , His Majesty has instructed you to remain here to protect the Queen and Nobles in the Palace. Only Duke Theodore has followed His Majesty.

Crown Prince George: He is bringing King Louie to Mother's grave? That is remarkable. I wish to go over too.

Duke Micah: Your father has instructed us to stay here to defend the Palace.

Crown Prince George: Defend The Palace with no King in it?

Duke Micah: Oh ya , Your father will only have a few troops and the rebels may strike. Susan , how long have they left already?

Lady Susan: 30 minutes.

Duke Micah: We better go. His Majesty 's life is at risk.

(The Scene is at Queen Juliana 's Throne , King Harold takes King Louie to visit Queen Juliana 's grave)

King Harold: This is the burial site of Queen Juliana , one of the greatest Queens of the Alexanderian Dynasty.

King Louie: I see. She is the mother of Crown Prince George , right?

King Harold: Yes. She was ever virtous and relinquished consortship willingly because she had haemophilla.

King Louie: That is sad.

King Harold: (Passes a White Flower) Here , place a wreath.

King Louie: (Places) I pray her spirit will bless England forever.

Edward Polise: (Creeping Stealthily) (Stabs King Harold)

King Harold: ARGH!!!

Duke Theodore: Men , save His Majesty!!! (Chases Edward Polise) COME BACK HERE!

Edward Polise: Men , release the smoke.

Duke Theodore: (Caught in smoke) Cough , Cough , Come Back...Now!

King Louie: Quickly! Attend to King Harold!

Duke Theodore: Your Majesty! Do not go! We need your leadership for England to soar to greater heights.

King Louie: SAVE HIM! HAROLD , YOU ARE A GOOD FRIEND!

King Harold: (Weakly) Thank You Louie. Duke Theodore , escort King Louie back to Buckingham Palace. Pass down this order , no one is to leave Buckingham Palace to come here and see me. They ought to stay there for their safety. Once you go back , tell The Queen to pass a state of emergency.

Duke Theodore: Yes , Your Majesty. (Sobs) But I am taking you back!

King Harold: NO! I wish to be buried here next to Queen Juliana. Leave with the troops. Only three men are to remain here to bury me and after the burial , they have to return to the Palace.

King Louie: Harold!

King Harold: Louie , thank you for signing so many agreements. Now , go back with Duke Theodore to Buckingham Palace.

Duke Theodore , King Louie: (Leave)

Crown Prince George: (Arrives) FATHER! What happened?

King Harold: (Weakly) Edward Polise stabbed me. I will die soon. Return to the Palace. Duke Micah , listen up.

Duke Micah: (Sadly) Yes , Your Majesty?

King Harold: I want George 's coronation to take place in seven days. Now return to the Palace, I shall just leave Earth. Once I am gone , bury me here next to Queen Juliana.

Crown Prince George: Father!(Cries)

King Harold: Son , Mother and I will always be with you. Return to Buckingham Palace. The Republicans are surrounding this area fast! GO! (Dies)
