    Summary

    It takes him an eternity to untangle the headphones cords. Nothing unusual happened to them; it’s just his hands are still trembling.

    A girl, who sits next to Simon, gives him a long, attentive look. She may be wondering why this stranger prefers outdated headphones when wireless are available. Or she has noticed his distress. But more likely, she has recognised him from magazine covers.

    He puts a song on repeat and pockets his phone carefully as if it's a bomb ready to explode. His fingers are twitching - with the impatience to type something back, with the desire to touch his own lips. He shuts his eyes, and the world disappears. There is music, there is fear, there is anticipation.

    Then, the song ends. And starts playing again. And again. And again. Seven times - and he is at the bus stop near Micke's building. The girl has left.

    Simon reaches for the phone. The screen lightens up from his impatient touch.

    There are no new messages.

    Summary

    The morning after Henry tells Alex to leave Kensington an official statement is issued from the Crown announcing his engagement. A week later, the White House issues a press release that Alex is being transported to an out-of-state facility to receive treatment for an undisclosed serious condition. A year later, two days before Henry’s wedding, they run into each other — in Ohio of all places — and it’s immediately evident Alex had more to tell Henry that night at Kensington.

    Summary

    Erik has made it his mission to call Wilhelm regularly and check up on him. The whole family seems to be in agreement that he is in a tumultuous and dangerous phase, that he could easily be steered in the wrong direction and cause perhaps unforeseen levels of PR damage, but Erik wonders whether his parents truly grasp how sensitive this life phase is for Wilhelm. It is a gut feeling, an inkling, that tells him to watch out for his little brother. Now more than ever.

    -

    Wilhelm adjusts much quicker to boarding school life than Erik expected. Time to pop the champagne corks and consider his enrollment at Hillerska a success story? Not yet.

    Erik grows increasingly uncomfortable as he realizes that his little brother is head over heels in love with someone who might be – at best – a dubious character and could both hurt Wilhelm and damage the monarchy.
