“ so you... can handle that follow-up by yourself, right ? i have to be in ganganagar with dad. the locust situation got worse, few thousand more hectares affected, there’ll be a meeting, he wants to go — he has to go. ”  and where the maharaj shows up, in the final few years of his reign, the yuvraaj will have to follow. at this point, with a fiancée in europe, he lives on a plane. there are stewardesses he knows by name now.  /. @ebbv​

“ hel-looo ! ”  she sings, bright and sunny as she’s let into the suite, nilsa in tow. her grin is injected with sheer glee. the campaign for godparent starts early !  “  i come bearing necessities ! seems silly now, but i swear, belly butter and body oils are going to be your best friends. how’ve you been feeling ? ”  [ @ebbv​ ]

he’d  made  it  sound  like  he’d  wanted  a  casual   family  chat ,  but  now  that  he  is  in  ebba’s  workspace  with  their  queen  on  the  line ( and  their  father,  lingering  in  the  background,  asking  too  many  questions  and  jumping  to  conclusions  ) ,  he  isn’t  sure  how  to  begin.    ❛   uh,  this  has  to  stay  between  us  for  now,  of  course  until  it  becomes  official,  that  is  why  i  asked  for  a  closed  discussion.  irena  wanted  to  call  mamma  personally,  and  she  will,  but  i  asked  her  to  let  me  take  this  main  load  off  of  her.  ❜  he  rubs  his  jaw  absently,  considering  his  next  words  carefully.    ❛   irena  has  decided  that  she  is  going  to  abdicate.  she  has  made  up  her  mind,  there  is  no  changing  it.  she  believes  it  is  what  is  best  for  her  own  personal  growth.  when  this  hits  the  press,  i  don’t  think  i  need  to  tell  you  how  much  of   an  issue  it’s  going  to  be  for  croatia,  since  she  is  the  second  one  to  denounce.  i  don’t  know  how  ugly  it  will  get  both  publically  and  privately  between  her  mother  and  her,  but  i  know  because  of  the  nature  of  our  relationship,  tongues  will  wag.  sweden  will  be  mentioned,  it’s  inevitable.  being  able  to  tell  you  early  means  we  can  get  ahead  of  this.  ❜    //.  @ebbv

“ i kinda like it, ” anastasia said, looking at her reflection in the mirror. “ kinda don’t. i’d definitely wear this but i’m not sure it would be a good idea. if the paparazzi find me, they’ll say i’m racy, not fit for the crown or the royal family at all. don’t you love it when other people tell you what you should and shouldn’t do, even though they have no idea what they’re talking about? ”

she was probably tired of him. she surely was tired of him, but he was stuck. without much else to do he managed to get on the next flight to sweden. leonardo peeked through the doors of her office casually, a box of pastel de natas, cold by now, but still fresh. there she was, busy as ever- it was a tuesday afternoon after all. he couldn’t help but stare, at her in focus- it was her in her element, so clearly different from leo’s spontaneous life. he coughs, to catch her attention. “ is there ANY chance of me swindling you from this desk ?? there’s got to be something else to do here ? “ @ebbv
