Royal duty: Terra and Geo-force
By Geo-force
Author’s Note: At the time of this story, Bryon is 10, Terra is 8. This is my take on Geo-force and his sister Terra’s background, based on the original comics.
Chapter 1
In the very heart of Europe, high in the Alps, lies the old Kingdom of Markovia. Untouched by time, this kingdom has kept alive the old customs of chivalry and honor. For sixteen hundred years, Markovia has prospered under the wise rule of the Markov family. It is hoped that success will continue under the two youngest members of the Royal house: Prince Bryon, and the Princess Terra…<br> “Prince Bryon, please pay attention!” Bryon Markov was snapped out of his daydream by the rapping of his Tutor’s cane on the table. “If you have finished your nap, your majesty, I would like to move on to the next subject.” The young prince was in the Royal library, being taught his daily lessons by his old tutor, Dimitri. His favorite subjects (History and literature) were over, and Dimitri had launched into a math lesson that nearly put Bryon to sleep.
“But teacher, it’s such a nice day out” the young prince pleaded. “Couldn’t we cut it short for today?” The old tutor sighed “Very well, but be sure to be here early tomorrow!” Bryon grinned triumphantly as he jumped out of his chair and ran toward the door. “And don’t forget to do your science homework!” Dimitri yelled after him. The young prince barely heard him as he ran down the corridor and out into the open sunlight.
Outside, the high turrets and tall ramparts of the royal palace rose around Bryon like tall mountains. His family’s ancient castle looked like something out of a fairy tale. The young Prince ran across the massive courtyard towards the royal gardens. At the very center of the Gardens, he could make out several members of the queen’s court stting at tables, sipping tea and gossiping. “Oh great, mother’s having another one of her tea parties again.” He said to himself, rolling his eyes.
As his eyes scanned the Duke and Duchesses, Barons and Baronesses, Bryon spotted his mother, Queen Vanessa, at one of the Tables, surrounded by her ladies in waiting. Dressed in her formal white gown, with white nylon gloves and a diamond tiara, the Queen was considered the most beautiful woman in all Markovia. At her side sat Bryon’s little sister, Terra. She wore a smaller version of their mother’s outfit, and had their mother’s blond hair and blue eyes, as well.
The little princess was having her hair braided by one of her handmaidens when she spotted Bryon. “Big brother!” Terra came running to where he stood. “Why you out here? Old Dimitri bore you with his dumb old lessons again? Why don’t you come and join us?” Bryon shook his head. “Not today. Have you seen father?” The little princess just shrugged. “Last time I saw poppa, he was heading for the throne room.” At that moment, the Queen called out “Terra, come here!” The princess turned “Coming, mama! See you later, big brother!” She ran back to the table.
Bryon went back into the palace and headed for the throne room. Curiosity got the better of him. Why was father not at the party with the queen? His answer came in the form of two voices coming out of the throne room. Bryon heard the voice of his father, and the voice of an older woman talking to each other Bryon hid and listened in.
Old woman: “King Viktor! You must allow me to resume my experiments! I can create super humans that can defend Markovia!”
King Viktor: “Absolutely not! Those are my children! I will not allow you to use them like lab rats!”<br> Old Woman: "You’re just afraid that Queen of yours will hate you forever!”
King Viktor: "Enough! We will speak no more of this! Dr. Helga Jayce, You are not to lay a hand on the prince or princess! Is that understood?”
Old woman: "Understood, your majesty.”
At that Bryon ran away before ethier of them came out of the throne room. Experiments? On him and Terra? What could he mean? Well, father had taken care of it, so he pushed it out of his mind, and soon forgot the whole thing.

Royal Duty, Chapter 2
-Six months after chapter 1
Terra awoke in the middle of the night, to the sound of the thunder and pouring rain outside the palace. She tried to go back to sleep, when she thought she heard two people…. arguing in the hallway outside her bedroom door. Tiptoeing past her two sleeping handmaidens, the little princess open the door to her room. A little farther down the hall, she could make out her parents, the king and Queen, arguing. She kept the door open a crack and listened.
Queen Vanessa: “Viktor! Have you gone mad! How could you even think of letting that woman experiment on our children? Have you lost all reason?”
King Viktor: “But my darling, think of their duty to the kingdom. They will be given the power to defend our land….”
Queen Vanessa: “No! It is disgusting! I will not even consider it!”
Terra saw her mother began to storm off in anger. Enraged, the King grabbed her wrist “Blast you, woman! Why won’t you listen to reason?” The Queen began to struggle against her husband’s grip. “Let go! Let me go!” Panicked, the queen ran down the hallway, towards the stairs. When she reached the top step, she slipped….
“Aieeee!” The queen violently tumbled down the stairs, landing at the bottom with a sickening ‘crack’. “Vanessa!” The King ran down the stairs in a panic. The Queen’s body lay on the cold stone floor of the castle, silent and unmoving. “Vanessa, no….I didn’t mean to….” The King ran out of the room. “Guards! The Queen needs a doctor! Now!” Having witnessed the whole thing, the shocked eight-year-old Terra approached Queen Vanessa’s body. “Mama?”. Terra stared into the closed, unblinking eyes of mother. The eyes that, when she was born, had first welcomed the little princess into the world. The eyes that comforted her when she was scared during a storm had shined with joy at every one of her birthday parties. Eyes that would never open again…. “Mama….Please get up….Mama….” Outside, the rain just kept pouring down…..
A few weeks later, King Victor was back in his throne room with the old scientist, Helga Jayce. The look on his face was as cold as stone, unmoving and unfeeling, when he turned and spoke. “Dr. Jayce, you may begin your experiments again. My children are yours to do with whatever you see fit.”
--------------------------------------------------
The experiments were brutal.
A few days after thier mother's death, the young prince and princess were removed from the palace, the only home they had ever known, and taken to an isolated labratory in the countryside. There, Dr. Jayce began her work to create markovia's first superhumans. The next few months of Bryon and Terra's lives were a living nightmare. All sorts of inhuman tests, operations, and injections were used on the young Prince and princess to give them the 'gift' of superpowers.
On one of these days, when Dr. Jayce was preparing to 'work' on Prince Bryon, he worked up the courage to ask "Why! Why are you doing this to me and my sister?" Suprised, Dr. Jayce turned to the young prince strapped down on the labratory table. "Why? Because you were both born to do this." Bryon gasped "W-what, what are you..." Dr. Jayce smiled evily. "I began these experiments years ago on your father, the King. Just as I was finishing my work, King Viktor backed out at the last minute. He did, however, pass on the gentics of my experiments to his two children, you and your sister. Now, if you will hold still, I have work to do...."
At the end of the two months, King Viktor recieved word that the experments were a success. "You won't believe the progress I've made." Dr. Jayce told the king. It was arranged for a 'demostration' of the Royal siblings new abilities.....

Chapter Three
“This had better be worth it, Doctor. I hope I haven’t wasted millions of dollars from the royal treasury for nothing.”
“Don’t worry, your majesty, I’m sure you’ll be pleased by this demonstration.”
King Victor and Helga Jayce were seated at an observation window, far above a deep canyon. Below, Bryon and Terra stood at the center of the canyon, ready. Dr. Jayce pushed a button, and four robot drones, armed with laser cannons, emerged from a small building on the canyon floor. Two went to battle terra, while the other two prepared to attack Bryon.
As the first two robots opened fire, terra tore a huge chunk of rock from the canyon floor, and used it to block the blasts. She jumped up on the rock, and rode it through the air like a surfboard, dodging the blasts. “The princess has been given the power to control the earth itself.” Dr. Jayce explained. “She can bend and shape the very soil and rock to her will.” Terra made a gesture with her arms, causing a small chasm to open beneath the robots, swallowing them up.
The other two drones then began their attack on Bryon. He flew up into the air to avoid their blasts, and then he made one robot float up into the air, and hurled it into the Cliffside, causing it to explode. “The prince has been gifted with the power to control gravity, which allows him to fly, and move objects without touching them.” Bryon then raised his hand, and fired a powerful red beam that destroyed the last robot. “He can also intense bursts of geothermal heat, which he calls ‘lava blasts’.”
Dr. Jayce then turned to the king, who replied “Very impressive, doctor, you have done well.” Dr. Jayce smiled “Then, can I expect more funding for my experiments?” “No” King Viktor answered. Helga Jayce became angry. “Why?” The king replied icily “Because doctor, I heard from my advisors I had employed in your labs the level of cruelty of your experiments upon my children. I told you to give them powers, not to abuse them.” King Victor looked at her angrily. “Your funding has been cut, your research has been banned, get out of my kingdom.” The king turned and left.
And so, Dr. Jayce was banished from the kingdom, and the Prince and princess were returned to the castle. However, it became clear that things would never be the same again. Bryon returned to his lessons with old tutor, Dimitri, and he finally had the time to deal with his grief of his mother’s death. Terra became like a ghost wandering the palace, a pale shadow of the once happy princess. The king could not bring himself to speak to either of them.
One night, Princess Terra lay in her bed, sleeping. She began to toss and turn, having a nightmare about her mother’s death, and the experiments. Outside, the ground began to tremble. The tremor turned into a mighty earthquake that shook the Alps to their very foundations. Landslides came down off mountains; small villages were shaken to pieces. Terra’s handmaidens, Natasha and Sophia, desperately tried to wake their beloved princess up. Terra suddenly sat up screaming. Outside, the ground ceased shaking. Then the rain began to fall….
The next day, King was in the throne room, pacing. Nearby stood Bryon and Terra. The little princess’ head was down, as her two handmaids stood over her protectively, giving the King dark looks. “What happened last night?” Viktor Markov demanded. Sophia replied coldly. “Apparently, sire, your daughter does not have full control over her new powers. She had a nightmare last night, and….” “What?” The King interrupted “Send for Dr. Jayce at once!” “We cannot, your majesty, she disappeared shortly after you banished her.” The king looked down to the now Ten-year-old terra. “Then the princess will have to be sent away…” --------------------------------------- "I hate him Bryon! I hate him!"
Terra was standing in her room, shaking with fury. Her brother was standing beside her, while the Princess' servants were packing her things. Her own father, the king, had ordered her to leave her homeland forever.
The Prince tried to calm his sister. "Terra, please..... you must try to calm down...." Terra exploded at him "Calm down? Bryon, he killed mama! He let that crazy old witch treat us like animals!" Bryon raised his hand. " Mother's death was an accident, and Dr. Jayce was banished for what she did." A look of anger flashed across Terra's face. "How can you defend him? He's sending me away Bryon, Sweeping his mistakes under the rug! Just like like he did with mama and Dr. Jayce!"
Bryon looked away and said nothing. Terra's anger melted into saddness. "I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't mean to yell at you." Tears began streaming down her face. "I don't wanna go, Bryon. This is my home. You and Natasha and Sophia are all the family I have left. I don't wanna go..."
Bryon hugged his little sister, his own eyes beginning to tear up. "Mother will allways be with you, Terra. And I will find a way to bring you home, I swear it." Bryon walked over to Terra's dresser, and picked up a small hairpiece that the Terra's mother had given her. The Prince placed the plastic hairpiece on Terra's head.
"Goodbye, little sister, I'll allways care about you."
Brother and sister said goodbye, for what might have been the last time......

Chapter four
Author's note: this chapter concentrates more on the customs and culture of Markovia (next chapter is on Terra's situation) I hope my readers don't get bored
The next few years of the young prince's life were very ordered and structured. Bryon began his training as crown prince, in preperation for the day he would take the throne. Dimitri the tutor instructed him daily on ettiqute and protocol, and the Prince began hosting royal banquets and dinners. Bryon entered the order of Markovian knights, and leared the Markovian codes of Chivalry and honor. As King Viktor slipped deeper and deeper into maddness (A result of what he had done to his wife and daughter), the task of running the kingdom fell more and more on his son's shoulders.
On one particular sunny day, Bryon was out on horseback, riding though one of the small vilages near the palace. His eyes swept over the small crowd of townspeople moving about the marketplace, dressed in traditional Markovian clothing. The women and girls in thier long dresses with floral patterns, and the men and boys in thier trousers and caps. The youg prince could hear the pounding of the blacksmith's hammer form one end of the village, and the bleating of goats and sheep being led to market by thier herdsman from the other.
Although the Markovian people had elecrticity, plumming, and modern medicine, the Kingdom rejected modern clothing styles, convenices,(Television, cars, etc.), and modern morality. Let the outside world have it's pollution, crime problems, and immodesty. Markovia would it's Medival customs and traditions, and the people liked it that way.
As Bryon's horse passed into an alleyway, a voice called out to him "My prince?" Geo-force looked down to find a young maiden standing beside his horse. Bryon swung down off his steed and bowed to the girl. "My lady, what can I do for you?" The girl curtsied in reply. "My lord prince, I-I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask you about our beloved princess...."
The mention of Terra knocked all the air out of Bryon's chest. The common people had loved his sister dearly, they considered her a national treasure. When his father had sent her away, it broke the people's hearts. The girl continued. "I was just wondering if our princess would be coming home....." Bryon closed his eyes for a minute, before placing a hand on the young madien's shoulder, replying. "Do not fear, milady I swear to you and to all my people that I will find a way to bring my sister home." As he got back on his horse, the young prince exactly how he was going to keep that promise.
Later that night, Bryon was attending a royal ball at the Palace. He danced the Markovian Waltz with several of the teenage noble ladies of court, while Dimitri and his father looked on, approving. The prince knew what was going through thier minds. Now age 14, Geo-force was only four years away from eligilbe marriage age. By Markovian law, Bryon could not take the throne until he took a wife. The king's health was beginning to fail, and everyone's thoughts were now turning towards the young prince.......
Bryon tried to put the thought out of his mind. He was ready to marry for the sake of his country, It was his royal duty. He just hoped he could find the right person when the day came. Much to his father's dismay, bryon seemed to take an interest in the more intoverted, darker girls at court. King Viktor shuddered at the thought at one of those 'bad' girls becoming Queen of Markovia.
As Bryon's kissed one young Baroness' hand, he reflected on how Markovian women were treated. All Markovian men (Commoners and Nobility) praticed the anicient customs of chivialry. Women and girls were treasures to be treasured and pampered. Men held the doors for ladies, pulled out chairs for them. No Markovian male would ever even think of comitting an act of violence against a female, even in self -defense.The penalty for any boy or man who ever even tried to harn a Markovian lady was so horrible it was unpseakable in public. Bryon thought about his sister. How was she being treated in whatever foriegn land she was in?
After the last dance, bryon went out onto the Balcony,and looked up at the stars. He made a silent promise to himself he would find Terra, and make sure she was safe. He would protect his little sister, no matter what it took. --------------------------------
A heavy rainstorm poured down on the Streets of Detroit, drenching anyone unlucky enough to get caught in it. Beneath a bridge sat young Terra Markov, taking shelter from the downpour. Cold, hungry, and wet, the princess shivered as she tried to hold back tears. It had been a few years since her father had cast her out of her homeland, deciding she was a failure because she couldn’t control her powers. She had been wandering from place to place, just trying to stay alive. As she ran her fingers through her grime-streaked hair, she found the little plastic hairpiece her mother had given her when she was little. She pulled it out, and began to examine it, her mind drifting back to a happier time……
MARKETPLACE, MARKOVIAN CAPITAL, SEVERAL YEARS AGO:
"Terra, come here! I want you to see Something!"
"Coming Mama!"
Little Princess Terra ran across the marketplace to where her mother stood. It was a rare treat for the Queen and her daughter to get out to the palace among the people like this, so every moment of it was to be enjoyed. When the little princess reached her mother's side, she saw a cart full of little jewelry and trinkets. "Go ahead, little one. Choose one as a souvenir." Terra's eyes searched the cart, until they spied a little plastic hairclip. She picked it up. "Are you sure that's the one you want, Terra?" The Queen asked. "There's much nicer looking ones on the cart." Terra grinned. "Want this one, mama." The queen smiled back at her little girl. "Then it is yours" As one of the servants paid for the trinket, the Queen placed it in her daughter's hair. Terra's mother picked the little princess up, hugging her gently. "My beatiful little daughter, I love so much......."
DETROIT, PRESENT DAY
A clap of thunder brought Terra back to the present. Her life had been so perfect back in Markovia, with her Mother, her brother, and her handmaids. Her father had taken everything away from her.....
Her father........Terra's sorrow turned into anger when she as thought about him. King Viktor had torn her life apart, thowing his own daughter out like unwanted garbage. Her own father had betrayed her. Angily, she swore to herself that he, and anyone else that hurt her, would suffer pain a thousand times worse than the hurt she felt inside right now. She would never let herself be betrayed again.
As the Rain died away, Terra walked out from beneath the bridge. The princess decided it was time to leave this city, and move on to someplace with a little less rain. She'd heard about a desert area near Jump City, perhaps she could find a dry cave to stay in. Gathering up her few possesions, she prepared to leave.
Deep in a hidden base, a shadowy figure watched Terra prepare to leave. "So this is the exiled Princess of Markovia, most impressive." He said softly, watching news reports of Terra's 'adventures' filter in on the monitor. "King Viktor was a fool to throw all that power away, simply because he couldn't control it." The figure stepped into the light, revealing himself to be.....Slade, hated enemy of the Titans. He looked back to the monitor. "Yes, you may prove very valuable to me.....my new apprentice."

Chapter 5
Author's note: this chapter takes place shortly after "Aftershock part one" The King was dying.
All the years of pain and guilt had finally taken thier toll on on Viktor Markov. about a few weeks before, the King had collasped during a royal feast, and had been horribly ill ever since. Now, the Royal doctors said it was only a matter of time. Word had spread among the people that thier ruler's time upon the earth was growing short. Shops were closed, and an aura of sadness seemed to prevail everywhere in the kingdom.
This weighed heavily upon the mind of Prince Bryon. He was flying back to the palace, having used his powers to stop an avalache in a small mountianside village a few miles away. The prince landed on one of the castle's terraces, and headed downstairs to check on his father's condition. "How is he?" Geo-force asked his tutor Dimitri, who was standing near the door to the King's chamber. "Not good, my prince." Dimitri replied, shaking his head sadly. "They say he only has a few hours to live. I....I would suggest you stay nearby, he will be calling for you soon...." The tutor choked out, overcome with grief. Bryon laid a hand on his teacher's shoulder. "It's okay, my friend. You have served the house of Markov well. Go and get some rest."
About twenty minutes after Dimtri had left, one of the Nurses emerged from the Room and curtsied. "My prince, his majesty wishes to see you." Bryon nodded, and entered through the doorway. The room was dark, the curtians drawn to keep the light out. The king's heavy breathing was the only sound breaking the room's heavy silence.
The prince approaced the bed. "My son?" King Viktor asked weakily. "I am here father." The Prince replied. The king opened his eyes "Bryon, before the sun rises on another day, you will be lord of Markovia. I know you will rule wisely, and keep the the pride of our bloodline strong. But before I pass into the next world, I wish to apologize to you." The prince looked confused. "Apologize, for what?" "For tearing your life apart, my son. For all the pain I've caused to you, your sister, and your mother. For letting my arrogance and pride allow my family to suffer." The king coughed, struggling for breath . "I hope all of you can forgive my horrible mistakes. Please Bryon, bring your little sister home......and tell her.....I'm sorry."
Later that night, King Viktor Markov XIV, ruler of makovia, died . ---------------------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks later, Geo-force stood in the throne Room. His eyes passed over the two empty thrones, his father's crown and scepter resting on one, his mother's Tiara resting on the other. For he first time in ages, Markovia had no King or Queen. The future of the entire kingdom was now in his young hands. But before he could take the throne, he had something he had to do.
"How can you be leaving?" Dimitri asked Geo-force in shock "Markovia needs you now more than ever!" Bryon waved his hand dissmissively. "My cousin, Prince Gregor, will rule the kingdom as Prince-regent until I return." The prince replied. "I'm going to find my sister." The letters Terra had sent him indicated that she was in a place called 'jump city' She had become a 'super-hero' and was a member of the 'Teen Titans'. Geo-force took he few goods he had packed, and headed for the open window. "Farewell Dimitri, I will return, I swear it."
With that the Prince dove out the window, and into the Markovian sky.
Deep in Slade's underground lair, Terra Markov sat in her new room, thinking about what had happened over the past few days. Slade's plan had worked perfectly, the Titans had been dealt a serious blow by her betrayal. Terra smirked as she thought of the pained expression on Beast boy's face when she left him at the Amusment park.
"Little green twerp, he got what he deserved." But even as she thought that, doubts slipped into her mind. "He must have been really hurt....No!! Stop thinking like that Terra! He betrayed you! They all did! They've got to pay for hurting you." She thought to herself. "Your father, the Titans.....They all have to suffer!"Terra forced herself to calm down as Slade's voice came over the intercom. "Apprentice, come to the control room immediately, I have something to show you."
The princess went out to the control room, where Slade was looking at a monitor screen. "Terra, I've got something here you might be interested in seeing." As Terra looked at the monitor, she noticed Slade had been watching a news broadcast. As the princess listened to the report, her eyes went wide in shock.
"In other news today, King Viktor Markov, soverign ruler of the Euopean nation of Markovia, died last night in his sleep after a long illness."
"NOOOOOO!" Terra screamed in anger, driving her first through the monitor. How could this have happened? She had planned to make her father pay for what he did to her mother. Now, she had been robbed of her chance for revenge forever.
As Terra stood thier fuming, Slade placed a hand on her Shoulder. "You are upset that you were robbed of your chance for vengance, apprentice, but I believe I have some information that you will find valuable." He handed her a file. "This was taken from the Computer files of S.T.A.R. labs here in Jump city. Among the scientists listed, I believe you will find a name most......familiar to you."
As the Princess looked over the document, she scanned the names of lab employees and personnel, until her eyes hit upon one in particular;
Dr Jayce, Helga
Mere moments after seeing the hated name from her past, Terra was out the door. Benath his mask, Slade smiled. All he had to do was feed his apprentice's anger and hate just a little more, and she would be ready. Yes, everything was going according to plan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was late night at the Jump city labs, and Dr. Jayce was working late. As she put her equipment away and got ready to go home, the old scientist was completely caught off guard when a voice spoke.
"Hello, doctor, it's been awhile."
Startled, Helga Jayce spun around, and found herself looking at a young teenage girl. "What? how did you get in here? Listen, young lady, you'd better leave before......" The scientist's voice trailed off as she recognized the girl's face. "T-Terra? What are you doing here?" Terra smiled coldly "I see you remember me, Helga. A little bird told me you had gotten work here in Jump City, and I decided to drop in. What a coincedence that we both end up in the area."
All the color drained out of Dr. Jayce's face. "What do you want from me?" The princess responded with a laugh that sent chills down the doctor's spine. "Why, I'm here to reward you for the kindness you showed me as a little girl. For teaching me how to hate, for showing me cruelty and rage. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be the person I am today."
Fearing for her life, Dr Jayce fell to her knees, pleading. "I am so sorry, Terra. I beg of you, show me mercy." Terra exploded at her. "WHERE WAS MY MOTHER'S MERCY, YOU OLD WITCH!! Where was Bryon and I's mercy when you were experimenting on us like rodents? Father never would have done the things he did if you hadn't been there, pushing him on. You destroyed my life, you old hag, and now I'm going to return the favor."
Terra's eyes began to glow a furious shade of yellow."You don't need to concern yourself with the future, Dr. Jayce. You won't be around to experience it...." ------------------------
The next day, Doctor Helga Jayce was found lying on the floor, mumbling to herself in shock. "Well done, my young apprentice. Soon, you will be ready to face the Titans." Terra silently looked on, the hate burning in her eyes stronger than ever before.

chapter 6
Author's note this chapter is set a short time after Aftershock part 2.
Geo-force flew high over the rooftops of Jump city, heading towards the Volcano. Bryon landed near the entrance, and slowly walked inside.
Since he had arrived here, the prince had learned what had happened to his sister. He had been told about the titans finding Terra living in a cave, about her running away because they found out she couldn't control her powers. He had heard how the princess had made the deal with Slade to betray the Titans, and how she had fought with them for Slade's control of the city.
As Bryon entered the volcano's central chamber, he spotted what he was looking for. There, in the center of the cavern, stood the Princess Terra, encased in rock, frozen and unmoving. As the prince approaced her statue-like form, only one thought crossed his mind.
"I am sorry, little sister. I have failed you"
Tears welled up in the prince's eyes as he thought looked at the lifless Terra. If only he had made it here sooner, perhaps he could have prevented this. But he was too late, just like he always was. Now, with his Parents and his sister gone, now the Prince was truly alone.
As Geo-Force layed a single rose beside the Boquet of flowers the Titans had left, he swore to himself that he would find a way to reverse this. He would not leave this land until his sister had been restored! Geo-force flew up through the Volcano's mouth, and out into the night sky. He would do whatever he had to in order to set things right.
It was, after all, his Royal Duty.
THE END
