- How's it going, honey?

Hi, Mom. Good.

- Your father's on the line.
- Hi, Dad.

- He's asking for an update.

It's perfect.

Cut, I'd give it an excellent.

Colour, D.
Absolutely colourless.

Clarity, flawless.
Honestly, Mom,

I think it's exactly what
Mr. Russo's hoping for.

- She did it!

She restored it!

Uh-huh!

Yeah, I'll let Mr. Russo know

we found the perfect
Mother's Day gift for his wife.

I love you, too.

You've got quite a talent,
my dear.

- Thanks, Mom.

Hopefully,
Mr. Russo is thrilled as well.

- How did the journalist put it?

"One of the finest gemologists
in the world?

"Not because she chases
perfection, but because...

"...she understands
the soul of the stone."

- Now, you need to go pack.

- Pack? For what?

- Your next client.

The future King of Gullion.

The Royal secretary
called to finalize the booking

to restore their crown jewels--

What?
Oh, that's huge!

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.

- But why me?

- Well, one, restoring gems
is your specialty.

And two, the future King
saw the profile on you.

Apparently, he likes
your vision.

As you know,
the Kingdom of Gullion
has one of the most

renowned collections of
gemstones in the world.

Now, we know their jewels,

but are you familiar
with their royal family?

- No. I'm not.

- I wasn't either,

but from my research,

I learned that Queen Ivy
has decided to display

the crown jewels for
her son's coronation

and they want you
to restore them.

Apparently,

she locked the jewels away
when the King passed.

- Well, have
they been seen since?

- No, but check this out.

A symbol of national identity,

artistry, and enduring prestige.

Oh, my...

I- Okay, wait. How many
gemstones are we talking here?

- A vaultful.

- What? Whoa.
How long do I have to do it?

- A week.

- A week?

Mom--
- You can do it, my girl.

- I can't!

- Yes, you can.

And,

looks like we'll need to add

bi-royal appointment
to your resume.

When do I leave?

- Tomorrow.

- Is the gemologist here yet?

- Not yet, sir, no.
Her plane was delayed.

Although, we do have
confirmation that
she's in Gullion.

Fenella's handling her pick-up.

- So, I do have time for a run.

- Yes, although, maybe we should
do a shorter run today, sir.

How many miles? One or two?

- As many as it takes
to clear my head.

- I'll take it you didn't
tell the Queen about--

- Not yet, but I'm hoping
that, uh,

our guest arriving today
will solve all our problems.

- Hmm, that's, uh,
lot of pressure

to put on someone
who studies rocks, sir.

- I find that if you have
high hopes for people,

they usually rise
to the occasion.

Worked for you, didn't it?

- Yes, although,
I'm still unsure

if that was out of
faith or desperation.

- Well, can't it be both?

Great empires have been
built on less.

Besides, it does truly help
my mental state

to have my best friend
walking alongside me.

- Well, it is an honour, sir.

And I'm certain that
under your rule,

the kingdom will thrive.

Complementing the prince.
Very good.

And I have every faith that
my newly appointed Head of House

will ensure this gemologist
has all the help she needs

to restore some life
to our crown jewels.

- Yes, well, I'm certain
that whatever state

the crown jewels are in,

this Ruby Robinson is exactly
the person for the job.

- I hope so.

- And all of this...
used to be open to the public.

Walking trails, crags
and the like.

- Is everything all right?

Oh, I'm sure
it's nothing.

Uh...

I have a very urgent appointment

with the royal family
this morning

in-in about 15 minutes.

- Uh, we have a flat tire.

- Um... Oh, oh.

Do you have a spare?

- I think so.

This has never happened before.

- You know what, I think
they're usually in the trunk,
so...

...I-I'll
just have a look.

How far is it? The palace?

- Uh, just up the road here.

- Okay, so I can walk.

- Oh, dear, it'll be
quite a trek.

Not sure I have
much of a choice.

Uh...

Walking might not be
the worst idea.

Okay.
- But leave your luggage.

I'll bring it up to the palace
once the tire's fixed.

Thank you so much.
- Yeah.

Um... do you need any help?

No, I should be fine.

- 'Cause I can take that one.

- I need it for my meeting
at the palace,

which starts
in 10 minutes.

- Sorry about the trouble.

- It's not your fault.
You know what?

When I get to the palace,
I'll have somebody come back

and check on you.
Okay!

- You're a gem, Ruby!

Welcome to Gullion!

- Okay.

Oh, excuse me!

Hi!

Um.

Is the palace that way?

I just, I have a meeting
with the royal advisor

in about five minutes

and I don't want to make
the worst first impression ever.

And then my car broke--

- Whoa!
- My gosh!

- What was that?

Sorry, I was...

I was just trying to finalize
the press announcement.

- I told you not to follow me!
- Yes, but it's my duty--

- Hey, wait, wait.
I don't mean to interrupt you,

but I just really am
cutting it close here.
Is the palace that way?

- Um, the palace grounds
are off limits to public.

- Oh, but you two
are running here.

- Yes, but that's
because he's the--

- I'm terrible with directions.
I'm so lost. Where are we?

- Okay, so-so, the palace
isn't that way?

- No, no, it definitely is.

- Well, I'm just gonna restore
the crown jewels,

and so, I really need
to get to the appointment,

which is like,
happening right now, so--

- Sorry, are you saying
you don't know who he--
- If the palace is that way--

- You're on
the right track, yes.

The palace is in that direction,
around a couple more curves.

I mean, three kilometres?

Hey, can I help you
with your bags?

- What? Uh--

- Yes.

- That would be wonderful.

- All right.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Sir!

- I've got it.
Yeah, let's just do it this way.

You can go now. Uh, friend.

Do whatever you'd like.

Don't follow me.

Oh. You and your friend
make quite the dynamic duo.

You do everything together?

- Uh, no. We just...

We enjoy running together
and we have done
since school days.

- Aw, that's nice.

It's good to have friends
you can do things with.

Um, I'm Ruby, by the way.
I didn't catch your name.

Uh, oh.

Oh!

- Oh! That's my car.

- Is it?

Good.

Hi.

She's up and running again.

Let's get you to the palace.

- Thank you so much.

- You need a hand
with the luggage?

Uh, no,
it's no bother.

Thank you.

- Sorry for interrupting
your run.

- That's all right.

- Okay.

It's Ruby Robinson.

- She's even more
interesting in person.

- Ruby Robinson?

- Yes!

- You're late.

- Yes, I had car trouble
and it broke down--

- I am Countess
Fenella Stevens,

the Queen's
personal advisor.

- Oh, it's lovely to meet you--

- No need to curtsy before me.

Your task is simple,
but quite important.

The Gullion crown jewels

have been in the palace vault
for years.

- Yes, I read that
the Queen was just

so saddened by
the King's death--

- Uh, we resist the temptation
to speculate here in the palace.

What is relevant is that the
jewels have remained

completely untouched all
this time.

- It might actually
be a good thing.

Depending on the conditions that
the jewels were stored in,

the temperature, the vault--

- I oversaw the deposit myself.

I assure you
it was done properly.

- My job should be easy, then.

- If it were up to me,

we'd have the crown jeweller
handle the task.

But, alas, Prince Luca
felt otherwise.

And as the soon-to-be
crown King,

I cannot go against
his wishes.

But we do have a traditional way
of doing things around here,

Ms. Robinson.

Adhering to protocol

is what keeps a kingdom united.

- I read this was a kingdom
united by kindness.

- Well then, allow me to kindly
escort you to the game's room,

which is where
you'll be working.

Okay.

- Welcome to the palace's
game's room.

I'm sure you'll find this
a satisfactory workspace.

Uh, this time of year,
Gullion is known

for our floral displays.

Something I'm sure
you've heard all about.

I'll give you a moment
to freshen up

and then I'll have
someone escort you

to the palace
drawing room.

- Thank you.

Ohh.

-- I just heard from Fenella.

Ruby Robinson's
on her way to meet us.

- Wonderful.

- And the Queen?
She took it well?

I mean, you convinced her
to display the crown jewels

as part of the centennial
celebration.

You never thought
that would happen.

- Well, that took
some convincing.

- And to hire someone
to restore the crown jewels

from outside the kingdom.

- Also took some convincing,

but Ruby is the best
in the world.

So, what did she say about
the Garden Lighting festival?

- Oh, well, she's still
on a call, so--

- You haven't spoken to her?

- Well, not yet.

Oh, no.

- What?

- I alerted the press secretary
to release the news

about you moving the festival
to the town square

because I thought
you'd spoken to her--

- The Garden Light festival
off the palace grounds?

Yes, Mother.

Luca--

- Mother, I will be King soon.

You have to allow me to have
control at some point.

- It is tradition that
the Garden Lighting happen

on the palace grounds.

- But that excludes our subject
from enjoying a celebration,

which is rightfully theirs.
- Hmm.

- The entire event
is already organized,

a task which you gave to me,
might I remind you.

- Because I thought that
you would follow tradition.

- Our traditions are outdated.

- Our traditions are sacred.

- Uh...

Hello.

Sorry, I was just
looking for, uh,

I'm Ruby. The gemologist.

- Ms. Robinson!

You were supposed to wait
in the hall until summoned.

- Oh, uh, right.

- Traditions. Protocol.

Now is the time that you curtsy.

Ms. Robinson.

- Uh, Queen Ivy,
this is Ruby Robinson,

the gemologist I was telling you
about from New York.

- I see.

I hear you are very good
at what you do.

Luca, we will finish this later.

And please, see to it

that we have no more surprises.

- Ruby Robinson!

Meet His Royal Highness,
Prince Luca.

- How do you do?

- I do well, but you're the guy.

The guy from the road that...

Who carried my bags.

- Yeah, I told him not to.

- But why didn't you tell me
you were the prince?

- Why didn't you ask?

- But I didn't know
I was supposed to.

I just...

I just, I didn't expect
a prince to be so...

Um...

- Please, Ms. Robinson,
there's no need for that.

I have a very strict rule,
you see?

One curtsy covers you
for the whole day.

- Yes, okay, right.

Thank you again
for carrying my bags.

- No, it was my pleasure.

Ahem.

Should we, uh, show
Ms. Robinson to the vault?

- Yes. Right this way.

- After you.

- Okay, um.

- To the left.

- To the left.

- He is moving
the Garden Lighting
to the town square

and streaming it.

I don't know what
has gotten into him.

- That's never been done.

No.

What is the public's response?

- Well, far more positive
than I'd expect.

The public is really
quite excited, Your Majesty.

- Oh. Well, too late
to turn back now.

Has he at least asked
your daughter to the coronation?

- No. Jory hasn't said anything.

Well,

we'll just have to wait
and see what happens, won't we?

Wow!

- Impressive, isn't it?

- I-I...

I barely
have words, I...

May I?

- Certainly.

Sorry.

This gem is exquisite.

I've only ever heard
of gems like this.

The crystalline lattice,
it's... remarkable.

- I've never heard anyone speak
about stones that way before.

- No, they're not just stones,

they're... organic works of art.

- Well, you can
consider this room

your playground
for the next few days.

You know, we really
should be recording this.

Zander, uh, my friend,
if you will.

- You will do no such thing.

Forgive me, Your Highness
for speaking out of turn,

but that's not the way
we do things.

For centuries,
this vault has operated

without being
documented.

- Right you are.

Countess, absolutely.

Although, I suppose
that's because centuries ago,

they didn't have cameras...

Let alone little handy ones
that you can fit in your pocket,

so I suppose we can't be certain
that they wouldn't have

taken a photo or two
for the royal Instagram,

- now can we?
- Well, perhaps not--

- The people of Gullion
deserve to know

that the gems
are being restored.

- And they will.

When we make
an official announcement.

- Or, we could update them
in the moment.

Include them in
our daily activities.

- Um, Your Highness,
tradition requires that we--

- Ruby, what do you think?

A-about what?

- About the need to change,
to adapt,

to stay relevant
with the people?

- I will...

I will...

...resist the temptation
to speculate, Your Highness.

- Very well. Ms. Robinson,

shall we head back
to your studio?

I've had a few
of the crown jewels staged

for you to begin your work.

- Oh, of course.

- All right.

Well, that Ruby Robinson
certainly is something,

isn't she?

Zander?

Sorry, sir.

- Now who has you
smiling like that?

- No one.
- Come on.

I've known you forever.
That smile only means one thing.

- I don't know what you're
on about I'm afraid, sir.

- Come on.

Who is she? What's her name?

- You should resist the
temptation to speculate.

- Oh, you should resist
the temptation to be so cheeky.

I can have you sacked, you know.

I won't because I'm benevolent,
but I know that smile!

- I've had the first box
of jewels brought in.

I trust you'll find everything
is to your satisfaction.

- Oh, I'm sure I will.

- A reminder, Ms. Robinson,

you're here to do a job.

A very important job.

Restoring the crown jewels.

- Yes, Your...

...Countess.

- I'll have the rest of the
boxes brought in as required.

Good day, Ms. Robinson.

Good day.

Okay, let's see.

Gullion's Palace
was built in 1226,

but it was completely
modernized in...

Hi.

You're gonna be staying here
the whole time?

Guess I'll never be lonely.

- Come in.

Ah, Fenella.

How did everything go
in the vault?

- I would say
satisfactory at best.

- Do you think she's up
for the task?

- I shall keep
a vigilant watch over her

and ensure that all proceeds
without the slightest misstep.

- You wanted to see me, Mother.

- Jory, come in.

- Oh, Your Majesty!

- Please, have a seat.

- Oh.

- Your mother was
just telling me

that you don't have someone to
accompany you to the coronation.

As it happens,

neither does my son.

Oh. That, yes.

Um, Mother, I was actually
going to talk to you about--

- About how you'd love to
accompany Prince Luca?

I think that's a brilliant idea.

- I was thinking maybe

we can start with
the Flower festival.

Hm? Warm everyone up
to the idea?

- It would be an honour,
Your Majesty.

- Wonderful!

I am sure that Luca will be as

overjoyed about this as I am.

- I'll see you at home.

- What did they want?

For you to quit your job
at the royal museum and

take up your rightful place
as Queen?

- Uh...

...pretty much.

They want me to accompany
Luca to his coronation.

-- You must do what's best
for the crown.

- But... what if what's best
for the crown...

isn't what's best for my heart?

- Those pesky hearts.

Always getting in the way.

- I wish the love story
could be ours.

- So do I.

But you have a duty to uphold.

I won't get in the way of that.

- I'm very lucky to have you,
Alexander.

- I'm the lucky one.

Duty calls.

- We should get to know
each other a bit.

Might make your assignment
a little more enjoyable.

Okay, I'll start.

My name is Ruby.

And yours is?

From henceforth, your name
shall be known as...

...Fred.

I'll tell you
a little secret, Fred.

You wanna sneak a peek
at the royal gems

out of the corner of your eye,
I'll never tell.

- Keeping secrets, Ms. Robinson?

- Your Highness.

Please.
Call me Luca.

And there's no need to curtsy.

Unless Fenella's around.

Did you rest well?

- I did.

I was just so excited,
I wanted to get an early start.

And I've been...
taking in all things Gullion.

- My family's coat-of-arms.

- I love the lion.

- That represents
endless courage.

The swallow is a bringer
of good news.

- And the two hands intertwined?

- A symbol of sincerity
and justice.

They are conjoined
to represent unity.

Lovely.

Just, uh, just about
to get started on this.

- Huh.
- Mmh.

Should we have a look inside?

- Very well.

Ah, yes.

This was my grandmother's crown.

- It's remarkable.

Now, if my Gullion history
speed read is correct,

you're having your own crown
designed for the coronation?

Right?
- Yes.

I'm meant to.

Although,

the designs that have
been submitted

thus far are...
uninspiring.

- Don't imagine uninspiring
as a way

you would like
your legacy to be described.

- No. Quite right.

Especially since

I'll be crowned King mere days
before our country celebrates

its seventh centennial.

It's become a point
of contention

between my mother
and I, actually.

She wants me to wear something
opulent and ostentatious,

but I don't want to be seen
as a ruler who's over indulgent.

- May I look at the designs?

If that's not an overstep.

- Not at all.

In fact, I'll welcome
your professional opinion.

- It... could be... better.

- That's very diplomatic of you.

Oh. Are those yours?

- They're just doodles.

Mmh.

How much do you know

about the history of Gullion's
crown jewels?

- Could probably use
a history lesson or two.

- Well then,

Ms. Robinson, what do you say
to little field trip?

Come.

- Hold the fort down, Fred.

Blink twice if you want me
to bring you back a snack

or a chair, or something.

All right.

I'll see what I can find.

We'll catch up
later.

- Must've been so wild
growing up here.

- I would say quite
the opposite of wild.

I just mean
the space, I...

I mean, it's so different
from what I grew up with

in New York in
a tiny little apartment.

- Did you like growing up there?

- Oh, I did.

Hmm, was never bored.

Hey, what is this?

- Ah, the Prism of Promises.

- Oh, it's beautiful.

- Each stone was placed
by a different ruler.

- Which stone is your father's?

Wow, that's...
That's very impressive.

- King Bernard, the visionary.

He could clearly
see the future.

And he longed to bring
the kingdom to new heights.

Um, sadly, he...

He passed away
before he could see

his vision come to fruition.

This diamond is
the last promise he made.

To build a kingdom that feels
like home to everyone,

not just those born in nobility.

- It's very beautiful and rare.

- My father believed in light,
and clarity, and strength.

That's what a diamond
meant to him.

Even if he never... finished
what he started.

- Which stone is yours?

Uh, I haven't chosen one yet.

- Well, maybe there will be
something down in the vault

that catches your eye
to go with your new title.

- That's right,
I'll need a new title.

Any, uh, recommendations?

- Oh, uh, well. Let's see.

What about King Luca the Rebel,

or the Adventurous?

- Oh, Luca the rebel. Yes.

Rebellious like this?

- Woah.

- Adventurous like this?

Oh!

- Maybe King Luca the Rumpled?

Sorry, you just had a wrinkle,
um, that's all.

- Your Highness.

Ms. Robinson.

Was there anything
in your studio

not up to your standards?

- No. No, it was.

- Then, may I ask

why you are not attending
to the task at hand?

- Because I brought her here.

I was giving Ms. Robinson a well
needed history lesson

in order to inspire her,

so she could design
the perfect crown for me.

- What?
- What?

- On top of restoring
the crown jewels,

if that's something
that would interest you.

Are you sure?

- I've done my research on you.
You are a trailblazer

and that's exactly
what I want in my legacy.

- But Your Highness,
in royal tradition,

the crown should be designed by
the Crown Jeweller.

- I appreciate your input,

but I've made up my mind.

- Well, have you told the Queen

about this deviation
from protocol?

- No, I have not yet.

When the moment
presents itself I shall.

For the moment,
as your future King,

I hope, Countess,
that I can rely on you

to honour my wishes
and to keep this matter

within the strictest
of confidence

for the time being.

- Well, of course,
Your Highness.

- Thank you.

Now, if you'll excuse us,

Ms. Robinson and I have
to get to the vault.

We have a crown to design.

Now, this here
is my father's crown.

- Oh, listen, I don't know much
about royal traditions,

but when it comes
to precious gemstones,

I do things by the book, sir,
with gloves.

Very well, carry on.

Wow.

- Now, as you can imagine,

I have my own thoughts
about the crown jewels.

Gullion's ready for a change,
Ruby.

Poised for the future.

As the next King, I must do
everything in my power to be

a catalyst for the growth that
we so desperately need.

And I believe
that the crown jewels

are key to it all.

- Well, they are renowned.

- My father worked tirelessly to
expand the collection,

knowing that they were
the trademark of the kingdom.

I would like you to put this
on the top of your list.

- Okay.

- It's my mother's
emerald tiara.

I'm hoping to convince her
to wear it to the coronation.

It was a gift from my father
on their wedding day.

I've always thought my mother
looked so beautiful in it,

so happy...

- I'll make it sparkle.

More than it already does.

- It's my hope that by revealing
these jewels to the world again,

it will give our economy
a much needed boost.

- Well, I suspect you're right.

I mean, you do have an
incredible collection here.

- All the Gullionites are quite
proud of the jewels, you know?

Although, some of our younger
generation find them...

superfluous?

So I have a fine line
to walk between

delivering the pageantry
that many expect,

and assuring the rest...

...that the royal family's
not so steeped in tradition

that we're oblivious
to the needs of the nation.

I certainly am not.

- Which means exactly how

and where you place
the jewels on your crown

is of utmost importance.

- Yes. Yes!

Exactly.

I'm so glad you understand.

- You know, before they were
all locked in a vault,

the jewels were on display
in our own museum.

- Is that how you'd like
to do it now?

- I don't know.
I-I find myself torn.

- Well, I know
I just met you,

but you don't exactly seem
like somebody who'd

be inclined to just
follow the crowd.

- No. No, I'm not.

Though, it seems
neither are you.

Perhaps you would consider
accompanying me

to the Garden Lighting
Festival tomorrow?

Uh, yeah, I...

I really think that
Countess Fenella would be upset

if I abandon my post--

- Oh, I know exactly
what she would say.

She would say,
"It's not tradition."

Well, some traditions
are worth breaking.

Wouldn't you say?

- I'd love to go with you.

Well,

thank you.

Yes, uh...

Should we, um, pick out one
of your stones

for the royal crown?

- Yes, of course. Absolutely.
- Mmh.

- We have work to do.

But, you know,

these aren't stones.

You know?
- No?

- No, they're organic works
of art.

- Wasn't sure what you liked,

so I grabbed one of everything
from the market.

Just gonna put those
right there for you.

All right.

Let's restore some crown jewels

and design a crown
fit for a progressive King.

High five, Fred!

Yeah.

Only 333 diamonds, 33 rubies,

15 emeralds, seven sapphires,

and one amethyst to go, Fred!

What do you think, Fred?

Well,
if I may, Lady Ruby.

Yes?

Amethyst
is my favourite stone.

It's a very good stone.

It's a very good
choice, Fred.

Very good, indeed.

- I thought my mother
was going to meet me here.

- She'll be here shortly.

Right.

- Everything's confirmed for the
Flower Festival this afternoon.

- Good.

- We should depart shortly
to the town centre,

to give you time to mingle
with the people.

- Well, I'm not exaggerating
when I say I cannot wait.

- Does this newfound,

rosy outlook have anything
to do with Ms. Robinson?

Well, I would be lying

if I said I wasn't
enjoying her company.

- Well, as your friend,
I must say I'm thrilled.

But as an employee of the crown,
I must advise caution--

- Caution? With what?

- With the--

- The staging of--

- The flowers.
- Mm-hmm. At the festival.

- Yes, they were in a very
precarious position--

- On-on-on the podium.

- But we dealt with it,
didn't we?

You wanted to see me, Mother?

- Yes, Jory will be attending
with you today.

- Uh, well, actually--
- It wasn't a request.

And I think it would be
a lovely idea

for you to ask her
to accompany you

to your coronation as well.

Mother, we--

Your Majesty.

The royal cars have arrived.

Should I alert the guards
that we are ready to depart?

- Yes, please.

Jory!

Would you join Luca
and me in our car?

- Of course, Your Majesty.

- Wonderful!

- Please make sure that
Ms. Robinson attends as well.

- Oh, yes, Your Highness.

- Maybe it's not about opulence.

Maybe it's about why

you choose to hold onto it

and who you hold it with!

I think...
I think we nailed it, Fred!

Thank you so much
for all of your help,

I mean, honestly,
I just couldn't have done it

without all your input.

You know, when I was little,

my mom used to make us
paper gems for everything.

Whenever there was something
to celebrate.

We made straight A's,

or we got a homerun,

or we did something
that we were afraid of.

She was always really great

at making us realize

all of the good
that we had inside.

And you know,
it's really important, Fred,

because the little things
that you say to yourself

end up being the big things

that you think about yourself.

Just... leave that
there for you.

I'm off to the festival, Fred.

Can I bring you back anything?
Hmm?

Souvenirs?

Maybe a fresh bouquet of flowers
for a loved one?

Anyone special in your life?

Like a... mother?

Daughter?

Wife?

Girlfriend?

Okay.

I'll be right back.
Don't go anywhere.

- Fiona, over here!
- Look, Mommy, look!

- Deidre, hi!

- Oh, it's lovely to see you,
Ruby.

- It's good to see you too.

- How are you finding Gullion?

Oh, I absolutely love it here.

- Oh, I'm so glad to hear it.
Aww.

You know, I have a good feeling

that Prince Luca will be
a King for all people.

- Huh? What makes you say that?

- All of this?

Prince Luca's brought
our kingdom together

and filled Gullion
with the warmth of spring.

Did you know this
is the first festival

that's been held off
the palace grounds

where everyone
can see the flowers

and feel like they belong
to something beautiful?

That's what Prince Luca's
given us.

Not just this festival,

but the knowledge that this
celebration is ours too.

- I'm sure he would love to hear
that from you.

I'm sure
a prince doesn't have time

for the likes of silly old me.

Oh, if you'll excuse me, love,

it looks like
my daughter needs a hand

with the rest of the flowers.

- Of course.

- Enjoy the festival.

- Thank you.
- All right.

- Thank you so much.

Oh, thank you.

- Oh!
- Oh!

Hello, my dear.

Oh, those are lovely.

Luca, Jory, I think we should
take our place.

- Uh, well, actually,
Mother, Countess,

why don't you go ahead and, uh,
we'll be right behind you.

There's just a small error

that I need Jory
and Zander's assistance with.

- Well, surely whatever it is,
Zander can manage it on his own.

- Right.
- Quite right, quite right.

What can't Zander do?

No, but this is actually
something that I need to do

with them both.
It won't take a moment.

We'll be right behind you.

- Very well.
- There you go.

- I'll take care of it.

How can we assist you, sir?

- Um, well, Jory,

have you met Ruby yet?

- I have not.

- I think it's high time
you did.

But first,

I'd like to relax a little bit.

Come on, let's enjoy ourselves.

Like normal people.

Yes, sir.

- Ruby.

Oh, Luca,
I-I mean, Your Highness.

I thought we agreed
to no curtsying.

- Yes, I just, I wasn't sure
if that was a...

A rule when we were together

or if that was an overall
blanket statement, so.

- Um, you know Zander,
of course.

- Yes.

- This is Lady Jory Stevens.

Countess Fenella's daughter.
- Hi.

- It's lovely to meet you.

- Yes.
- Um, Zander, Jory,

would you two mind

going to find some refreshments
for Ms. Robinson and I?

- Yes, of course, I can
get one of the footmen to--
- No, no, no. That's all right.

In fact, I need you to do it.

Well, you see,

your taste in elderflower

infused sparkling water

is beyond compare!

- Oh...

Right.
- Yes.

- Yes, well,
we can handle that, sir.

- Wonderful. Thank you.

All right, off you go.
- Bye.

- Ruby?

- Yes?
- You need to help me.

Okay, with what?

- My mother is insisting

that I ask Jory to accompany me
to my coronation.

- Oh.
- No, but you see,

I don't view her that way.

She's a dear friend,
but nothing more.

And, more importantly,
I've recently discovered

that her heart belongs
to someone else.

- Zander?
- Yes!

- Did they tell you that?

- No, but I've known them both
my entire life,

I'm confident that I'm correct.

- Okay.

What do you have in mind?

- I'm beginning to think
Prince Luca has led us

on a bit of a wild goose chase.
- Yes, it would seem like that,
wouldn't it?

- Why would he do that?

- Well...
- And what was all that
with elderflower water?

I haven't the foggiest.

- You don't think
he knows about us, do you?

- Well, if he does,
he hasn't said anything.

We must be more careful.

- Yes, we won't do anything that
goes against our royal duties.

- Well, it's official.

Operation Matchmaker is a go.

- Yeah? You think
they'll go for it?

- Well, I find myself
to be very persuasive.

- Says the prince.

Oh, I have something
to show you. Here.

You should sit down.
- All right.

Ah, hmm, allow me.

- Thank you, Your Highness.

Okay. Now.

I'm gonna show you this,

but if you don't like it
you can be honest, okay?

It won't
hurt my feelings.

- I love it.

- Really?

- Ruby, it's... Yes, yes.

Although, I do think

that we should only
have one large jewel.

You know, for simplicity.

- Hmm, okay. I like that.

- Right.

All right.

Let me
take a photo.

It's simple, it's elegant,

and yet, it conveys

the strength that
I'm hoping to embody.

It's perfect.

- Thank you.

- I'm gonna send this photo
to our crown jeweller,

and he'll get started on it
straight away--

- But you haven't even picked
out the centre stone yet.

- Well, I will make that
a top priority.

- I need to introduce you
to someone.

It's very important.

- All right.

Lead the way.

- Deidre, this is...

Your Highness!

It's an
honour.

- Deidre's the one who
dropped me off at the palace

from the airport, if you recall.
Yes, of course.

- And she made me a very
handy quick Gullion facts guide.

- Oh! Um, there's even
a booklet.

It has got more pages.
I did it myself.

Well, that's very clever.

"The national bird of Gullion
is the Garden Wren,

"but it's been unofficially
replaced by the Royal Mallard,

"who once escaped during
a coronation rehearsal

and refused to leave
the ballroom."

That's true, actually,
that was my father's coronation.

That sounds exciting.

You know, uh, hold that thought.

I, uh...

Operation Matchmaker
is underway.

Deidre? Take very
good care of him.

- You know...

...I don't think
I've met a lovelier woman.

- I would have to agree
with you, Deidre.

- Jory, hi.
- Hi.

- Uh, listen,
I was gonna go get some tea

and I'd love to get
to know you better.

Would you like to join me?

- Oh, I'd love to.

- Good.

- Your work sounds
very exciting.

- Oh, thank you.

It's a family business,

so it's kind of a path
that was carved out for me.

Oh, I can relate.

Very much so.

I, uh...

just always try to be
the daughter, the diplomat,

the friend everyone expected,

I didn't realize how much
of me I'd edited out.

Yeah, and one day
you wake up and you realize,

"I'm living a life
someone else dreamed."

- Exactly.

But not Luca.

He has always wanted to
bring life back to the kingdom.

You know, when we were children,
he would always draw

these ideas for the gardens
and write letters to his mother.

This one time, he tried to
repurpose the royal staples

for a public greenhouse.

Nearly gave the Queen
a heart attack.

I mean,
surprisingly on brand.

- After all these years
of knowing him,

I think it's safe to say
that's what Luca does.

He dreams.

And not just for himself,
but for everyone else too.

Well, I suppose if you're
going to have a dream,

making the world a better
place isn't a bad one.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
please gather around.

- Jory, could you do me
a favour?

- Of course.

- Could you meet me
in the vault later tonight?

Prince Luca tells me that
you work in the royal museum

and I can really use
your expertise.

- I'd be happy to help.

- Please, welcome to the stage
Her Royal Highness, Queen Ivy,

and your future King,
Prince Luca.

- Good evening.

Welcome, everyone.

It's so lovely to see so many
of you here tonight.

I would like to thank everyone

who worked tirelessly to make
this beautiful festival happen.

It's a delight to be able to
open our flower celebration

with all of you.

Now, I know there
have been some rumours

going around the kingdom
ahead of my coronation

about the centennial
celebration.

I would like to address
those rumours

by directing your attention
to the flowers.

If you look closely,

you will see that the flower
arrangements here

are representative
of our crown jewels.

I know the jewels have been

somewhat shrouded in secrecy.

But it is my honour tonight

to officially announce

that the rumours are true.

We will be displaying
the crown jewels once again.

And now, without further ado,

shall we light up the gardens?

I invite you all to explore
the festival.

Enjoy the lights.

Enjoy the flowers,
enjoy each other.

Thank you all for being here.

- Okay, I still have
a few things that I need
to wrap up here,

but I'll see you later
tonight in the vault.

- Of course, I'll see you there.

- Perfect. Bye.
- Bye.

Yes, exactly.

Quite.

That's right. In the vault.

All right, thank you.

- Hi.

- Oh, Zander,

just the man I was looking for.

- Your car's ready for you, sir.

- Yes, about that, I think
I might stay a bit longer.

- But sir, we--

- However it is quite important
that you return to the palace.

Right away. Isn't it, Ruby?

- Yes! It seems there's been
a gem-related emergency

that only you can handle.
- Mm-hmm.

- In the vault.
- Mm-hmm.

- Immediately.
- Mm-hmm.

- Sir, I know nothing of gems--

- Please, please see to this.

It is of utmost importance.
Quite time sensitive.

- Absolutely.

- If your mother finds out
that I left you unattended--

- Zander, I'm a prince
not a toddler.

Besides, I'm not unattended,
am I?

- Right. Well,

I'll see to it that a car
is waiting for you

whenever you're ready to leave.

- Good man.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

- Uh... have fun.

- You too.

I think we pulled it off!

Yeah.

- So what should we do now?

- Why don't we go for a stroll?

- Lovely.

- What in the world?

"You two deserve a proper date,"

R and L.

- They're very good at this.

Meddlesome, but, um...

- Not unwanted.

- No. Not unwanted.

- Well, I'd say
today was successful.

- Based on the people's
reactions, I think you're right.

- I used to dream
about places like this

when I was a little girl.

Cobblestone streets,
lantern lights.

Flowers that smell like stories.

- "Smell like stories"?

- Yeah, you know,

when you read something
so beautiful...

...that is just changes
the whole way you see the world.

- I do know, actually.

There was a book that my tutor
gave me when I was 10.

The Map Among The Stars.
- No way!

- What?

- Well, I read that book
at least a hundred times.

That was my favourite
as a child!

- Are you just saying that
because I'm a prince?

- What? No! Okay, royal flattery
aside, I promise.

I loved that story.

- Why?

- Well, because growing up

I always just did
whatever was expected of me.

Whatever felt safe
or practical.

But that story,

it just made me wonder

if I was allowed
to want something more.

To want something of my own?

- Do you?

- I think I do now.

Thank you so much for letting me
design your crown.

- Turns out you were
the perfect person for the job.

- Oh! Heavens me.

I didn't think anyone would
still be here.

I hope I'm not
interrupting anything.

- No... we were just--
- Leaving.

- Mm-hmm.
- Because it's been
a very long day.

- Long day.

Well,
Your Highness.

- Oh, and I have something
for you. Hold this, please.

Of course.

- It's called a remember gem.

So you can remember
all of the good things

that other people
think about you.

Thank you for being
my very first friend in Gullion.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Oh, I, uh, I have
something for you.

- Oh, yeah?

Thank you, Your Highness.

Hi, Fred.

See you haven't moved a muscle.

Well,

I wasn't sure who I was getting
flowers for on your behalf,

so I went with the Gullion
springtime bouquet.

It's gorgeous, isn't it?

Smells nice too.

All right.

Just set this
right here for you.

Oh. I see someone
likes bananas.

See you in the morning, Fred.

- Good morning, sir.

The crown jeweller has a team
working tirelessly

to execute Ruby's design
in time for the coronation.

- Good.

- Although,
I'm not entirely sure

that the Queen and the Countess
will be too thrilled.

- Well, it's seems to me
there are a few things

that the Queen and the Countess
need to get used to.

Why didn't you tell me
you have feelings for Jory?

- I'm sorry, sir.
- Zander,

you're my oldest friend.

If I had known that Jory
had your heart,

I never would have entertained
my mother's wild schemes.

I would have declared
that the two of you

must begin your
courtship immediately.

- What about the Queen
and the Countess?

- You don't have to worry
about that. I'll handle it.

I'm thrilled for you, my friend.

- Thank you.

And thank you
for dinner last night.

That was so thoughtful.

- Well, you don't need
to thank me.

That was all Ms. Robinson's
idea.

- Here we go.

Think we're nearly there, Fred.

Hi, Mom!

- There's my girl!
Oh, we miss you.

- Aw, I miss you too.
How's business?

- It's great!

We've had so many
new clients come in

since your royal work
was announced.

- Yeah?
- But tell me about you!

How is the palace?

Oh, it's...

it's, uh, incredible.

And how is the prince?

- Uh, he's actually
quite lovely.

- So, you're having a good time.

- The best.

And, um, Mom.

There's someone I would like
to introduce you to.

This is Fred.

Fred, say hi.

Such a chatterbox.

Can't get a word in edgewise
when you're around him.

And these are the crown jewels.

- Wow.

And what's that?

- Oh, uh,

just designs for Luca's crown.

- You're designing his crown?

- Yeah, it kinda
all just happened.

This guy just actually went to
the crown jeweller last night.

- I'm so happy you're inspired
to design again.

- Aw, Mom.

Being here and working
with Luca,

it's just, it's opened up
a whole new world of ideas.

- You're feeling something
for him, aren't you?

It's complicated.

- You know, when I first
met your father,

I was a young salesgirl
who was too afraid to admit

that I wanted to own
my own jewelry store one day.

But he helped me realize that

my life could be much bigger
than I could've imagined.

Don't let the title
scare you off.

Prince or not,

that kind of connection
doesn't come around often.

- It's not just a title, Mom,
I mean...

it's this whole world
that he comes from.

It feels like
a different planet.

- Maybe he's just someone
who wandered into your world

and saw something rare
and beautiful.

- Ms. Robinson.

- Oh, I gotta go, Mom.
Love you, bye.

Uh, Your Majesty.

- I am told that you are opening
a box this morning

that is of great importance
to me.

- Yes, absolutely.

Your emerald tiara.
- Mm-hmm.

- I was just about to...
to get to it.

- Please.

Oh.

- Your Majesty.

- My husband gave this to me
on our wedding day.

- It's incredible.

I can only imagine what it must
have felt like to receive it.

- It felt like magic.

- Well, I will take
great care of it.

I know Prince Luca hopes that
you wear it for his coronation.

- I don't think I can do that.

This tiara is more
than just a tiara.

Newer gemstones
may catch the eye,

but it's the ones

steeped in tradition that
carry the weight of history.

And it is a history
that can't be ignored.

No matter how dazzling

the newer gemstones may be.

All right, Fred.

We're done.

These jewels are ready
to go off to the jeweller

and into the crown.

That is once Luca
finally picks a stone.

- He still hasn't asked her
to the coronation.

- No.

Did he tell you
that he's asked

Ms. Robinson
to design the crown?

- What?

And go against my wishes?

But this was not the plan.

I am still the Queen,
for goodness sake.

Find Luca.

I need to
have a word with him.

- Wow, this is quite a view,
isn't it?

- This is actually
my favourite spot
in the entire palace.

Thank you for coming.

- Well, a cryptic text
from a prince.

How could I not come?

- Well, please, have a seat.

- Thank you.

- Oh, uh.

Some wine?
From the royal vineyards?

- Really going for
the fairy tale tonight, huh?

Is it too much?

I just want to make sure
that you don't forget
your time with us.

- I don't think you
have to worry about that.

I have something for you
as well.

- Do you?

- You said you wanted to...

...make the royal family feel
more accessible, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- Well,

other kingdoms open
their palaces to the public.

I mean, not the whole palace,
of course, but...

why not display the royal gems
in the royal gallery?

It'll be a great draw
for tourism.

You could partner
with local vendors

for pop-up gift shops
or use local restaurants

for official tasting menus,

inspired by the royal gems.

And the possibilities
for getting the kingdom
involved are endless.

- I love it.

- Yeah?

- It's absolutely brilliant.

I'll have Zander get started
on it right away.

Thank you.

- Sure.

- I have something I wanted
to talk to you about.

- Uh, let me guess.

You're commissioning
your second crown,

just in case you hate mine.

No.

I'm going to wear the one
that you designed.

In fact, it's going to get
delivered to your studio shortly

for the final gem setting.

It's not that. It's...

...all my life I've been...

exactly what was expected of me.

Where to stand, what to say.

I knew that my life would be
dedicated in service

for the people of Gullion

and I knew that any personal
feelings I might have,

well, they came second.

But lately, I have been thinking
about what I want.

Not for the kingdom,
not for duty, but...

just for myself.

- Luca, I--
- I know, I know.

Our worlds are so different.

But I have found you
to be very inspiring.

Inspiring in ways I never
even dreamed were possible.

You are something very special,

Ms. Ruby Robinson.

Something very rare.

- I feel the same way about you,
Your Highness.

So sorry!

Fenella and your mother
are looking for you.

Uh... I can tell them
you're otherwise engaged--

- No, it's okay.
Um, I really should be

getting back to my work.

- Yes, yes. Of course.

Shall I see you, uh,
in the morning, after breakfast,

in your studio, perhaps?

- Yes, that would be lovely.

- Lovely.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

So sorry.

- Well, what do you think?
- Absolutely not.

- Visitors would only be allowed
in the great hall

and the gallery to view
the crown jewels.

The rest of the palace would
stay exactly the same.

- No, Luca.

- Ruby's right. We can do more
to connect with our subjects.

I...

I want to open the doors,
Mother.

Welcome people.

Let them see a small part
of the palace,

for the good of the kingdom.

And while we're on the topic,

I also think we should reopen

the trails on
the palace grounds.

- That would be
against tradition.

- Well, it was against tradition
when Father did it,

but he knew it was for the good
of the kingdom.

- What is good for the kingdom

is for us to uphold
our way of life.

- I know you miss him.

I-I think you might be
protecting yourself

by reverting back to
the old ways of doing things,

but Father...

...Father would want
us to innovate.

Like he did!
He would want us to include

the people in our lives.

Not to keep ourselves
locked in here,

shut off from
the rest of the world.

- Sit down.

I know you are impatient.
I can understand.

You have no right
to ask Ms. Robinson

to design your crown.

To restore my emerald tiara.

- But you love that piece.

- That was locked away
for a reason, Luca.

It was not your place.

- Mother--
- No.

I will speak of it no more.

- Your Majesty.

- Have you seen
the Gullion Press?

It would appear
that everyone believes

the Flower Festival
was a great success.

- And what do you believe?

I will admit,
I am conflicted.

It was by all measures
a good time for the people,

but it's breaking with tradition
really what is good for them.

- How was your conversation
last night?

Luca wants to open
the palace to visitors.

- Whose idea was that?

Our gemologist.

It would appear Ms. Robinson
might have overstepped

in more ways than one.

I'll take care of it.

- You requested tea delivery?

Wow,

your royal duties really do
cover all the bases, don't they?

- Well, I need to make sure

that every single person
in my kingdom is comfortable.

Well, that's quite beautiful.

- It's my favourite so far.

- I can see why.

- Now, exactly what in the world
is going on here?

- Countess.

- The Queen would like
to speak to you.

She's in the drawing
room.

- Mmh.

- It is of the utmost urgency.

- Well, perhaps
she's come to her senses

after our conversation
last night.

I'll be right back.

- Yes.

- Ms. Robinson.

Thank you for your work.
- Oh.

- But your services
are no longer needed.

What?

- I've been informed that all
the jewels have been restored,

is that not correct?

- I... Yes.

Yes, but I... Then Luca--

- So you've completed the work
you've been hired to do.

So, it would appear that
your services are
no longer needed.

Your ticket.

I've called a cab
for the airport.

I know how anxious you must be
to get back to your old life.

- I would really
like to speak to Lu...

to His Highness before I leave.

- Unfortunately,
that will not be possible.

- Why not?

- Because the Queen
has forbidden it.

Now, gather your things.
We cannot keep the car waiting.

Did you make this, Fred?

Well, it's been an honour
hanging out with you.

Even if you are such
a chatterbox.

- My name is George.

- What?

- My name.

It's George.

Why didn't you
say so sooner?

- It's against protocol.

- Yes, well, I think
that every person,

regardless of their
job title or status

deserves the dignity
of being called by their name.

Sorry I got yours wrong, George.

It's been an honour
working alongside you.

- You as well, Ms. Robinson.

I hope we'll see you again
some time.

I...

...gave my mother the flowers.

She loved them.

I'm so happy to hear it.

Goodbye, George.

Oh, what is it now?

So sorry about this, Ruby.

I'll just go have a quick look.

Won't be a second.

- Mom, hi.

- Hey, hey, hey! How's my girl?

- I'm, uh...

I'm in the car on the way home.

- What? You're leaving?

- The jewels are restored, so.

- And how did
the crown work out?

I don't know,
I didn't get to see it.

- They sent you away without
letting you finish your work?

- Well, I may have crossed
a few boundaries.

- Anyway, I think you
would've really loved

my final designs
for the crown.

I'm sure I would have.

And just because
you didn't finish it

doesn't mean you didn't
accomplish a huge feat.

And I think I would quite like

the man who encouraged you
to design it.

- Yeah, but....

I'm not royalty.

So I don't fit in
to their traditions.

There's just not room
for people like me.

- He made room, didn't he?

He didn't fall for a title
or a bloodline,

he fell for who you are.

You, Ruby, are stronger
than you know.

Following your heart makes for a
much better life than

one filled with regret.

Oh, I'm so sorry,

a client just came in.

- No, go, go.

I love you.
- I love you, I love you.

- I have been
doing some thinking

and you may have a point.

You're right.

I have been trying
to protect myself

by going back
to the old ways.

But that is not what
is best for our people.

Come.

I don't tell you this enough,

my son.

But I am so proud of you.

Your passion, your innovation.

I used to wonder
if I was raising a ruler

or a dreamer

and now I see...

it was both.

I realized now
that you don't need to rule

as in generations past,
you need to rule

like Luca.

Like the king you
were meant to be.

And know,

no matter the weight
of the crown,

you will always be
my son first and foremost.

And I will always love you
more than anything else

in the world.

- I love you too.

I know you have plans for me
to marry Jory,

but I can't do that.

For either of our sakes.

You and Father,
you had a great love.

That's what I want.

For myself as well as for Jory.

- Luca--
- No,

you can't forbid my heart
from feeling what it feels.

I know you're the Queen,
but your power

does have some limitations.

Besides, Jory's heart
belongs to another.

As does mine.

- Ruby?

- What are you not telling me,
Mother?

- Ms. Robinson is currently
on her way back to New York.

- What?

In particular
this one.

- No.
- That little gem--

Jory?

- Mother, what are you
doing here?

- Replacing the gems now that
Ms. Robinson has finally

completed the task.

What exactly is going on here?

- Countess, we were just, um--

- Mother, there's something
that I need to tell you.

- You two are...

What about Prince Luca?

- Mother!

- We had a plan, Jory.

Your duty.

Do you have any idea
what the stakes are?

You're going to be Queen.

- What could be higher stakes
than matters of the heart?

I'll see you later.

I just...

Mr. Shaw?

The Head of House?

But he's...

...staff.

- He is a person too, Mother.

Not just a job title.

I know you want
the perfect life for me

and I see how hard you worked
to make that happen.

I want my own story.

I need to listen to my heart.

And while Prince Luca
is very dear to me,

I do not feel
that way about him.

Zander has my heart.

And that will not change.

Not for a title nor expectation.

He is what's best for me.

And I will not pretend
otherwise any longer.

- Wait a minute.

Ruby!

I thought...
I thought you'd left.

- I did.

I just didn't
feel right leaving.

I had a job to finish,

so I had Deidre
turn the car around

and then Zander snuck me
in the back because

seems he wanted
to thank me for us

setting up a date
with him and Jory.

Are you alright?

I'm fine! I-I'm fine... now.

- Would you like to
try on your crown?

- Oh, yes.

- Have a seat, Your Highness.

- Oh.

Uh, thank you.

- Yes.

You should, uh, make sure
it fits after all,

with all those big ideas
floating around.

- Have you ever done
this before?

- You know, of all the princes
I've met in my life,

you're the first one
that's actually

commissioned a crown, so.

- And of all
those other princes,

how do I measure up?

- Well, let's see.

- Ruby.

Stay still.

Thank you
for coming back.

- You're welcome, Your Highness.

George.

- Oh, who?

George.

- Should we take a look
in the mirror?

- Yes, yes. Let's.

- Do you like it?

- More than like.

It's everything that
this kingdom stands for.

Unity, heart.

Boldness.

Just like its designer.

- Luca.

- Mother.
- Your Majesty.

- You came back.

- I had a job to finish.

- Let me get
a better look at this.

Have a seat.

Tell me about it.

Well, I...

I wanted the crown
to reflect Lu--

Prince Luca's
approachable nature.

That's why there's only
one prominent stone.

A signal that he's not
a man about opulence

or grandeur,
but about practicality.

- And this part from
our coat-of-arms?

- Yes.

To symbolize Luca's embodiment
of what the crown means.

Sincerity, justice, unity.

- And the stone choice?

- That was me, Mother.

To symbolize the person

who reminded me
of who I truly am

beneath all this.

A ruby.

Rare, resilient.

- And impossible to ignore
when it catches the light.

Which you clearly have,
Ms. Robinson.

Well, there's no denying it.

This crown is a beautiful
reflection of my son.

Of the man that
I hope he would become.

Hmm.

I made an error
in sending you away

and I deeply apologize
for that.

Finding a new way
to do things

is going to be
challenging for me, but...

it's time for change.

And, Ms. Robinson,
I hope you'll stay
with us a bit longer

to oversee the display
of the crown jewels

when we open the palace
to the public.

I will have Fenella set up
a time for us to discuss it.

If it would make you happy,

I will wear the emerald tiara
to your coronation.

- Will it make you happy.

- I think it might.

Oh, if you have time
to restore it.

- Oh, I would love to,

Your Majesty.

- Thank you for all
of your work.

The pleasure's all mine.

- I have a surprise for you.

Come.

- Jory!

- Alexander!

You have my heart.

Whatever comes next,
I want to face it with you.

- I am so sorry.

Heart was never something
I even considered

when it came to the topic
of your hand in marriage.

I was just trying to
make sure your life was...

- Perfect?

Perfection is a myth, Mother.

I love you.

I'll be alright. I promise.

- I love you too.

- Oh!

- Mr. Shaw.

Jory is incredibly
special to me.

I love her with all that I am.

And I understand
that I can be a bit

prickly at times,

but that is only
because I am trying to do

what is best
for her.

For her to have
the life she deserves

because she is such
a special young woman.

She really is.

- I think I may have

formed my judgment
of you in haste, Mr. Shaw.

But if you're willing,
I'd love to get to know you

as a suitor for my daughter.

- I would like that very much,
Countess.

- I look forward to getting to
know you better, Mr. Shaw.

- As do I, Countess.

Shall we?

Thank you, Mom.

A little bit further.

Can I
open my eyes?

- No, not yet.

You have to trust me.

- Oh, this is... I have trusted
you for quite some time.

Slow.

One more step.
Turn this way.

Now you can open your eyes.

So,

I had to pick a stone.

- Mm-hmm?
- Mm-hmm.

- And you'll be happy
to know that I did.

I chose a stone
that represents my love

for my kingdom,

for my duty,

and

for a certain gemologist.

A ruby.

Beautiful precious stone and

the most incredible person
I've ever met.

- By placing a stone,

you're... You're making a vow,
right?

- Oh, yes.

Yes, I'm making a vow

that I will serve my country

with the same heart
and compassion

as the woman who reminded me
that love doesn't weaken duty.

It defines it.

That traditions are beautiful,

btu they shouldn't be
restrictive.

A woman who encouraged me
to follow my heart.

A woman

who I believe I have fallen for

completely.

Ms. Robinson?

Yes?

- Will you do me the great
honour of accompanying me

to my coronation day?

I would love to.

Your Highness.
