Dear Diary, I'm have had a several good months. There's one problem I have now. My Mom wants me to go to Afana, the country where my Great Grandpa Wyatt and his family came from and talk to the dictator family there about ending the war that been going on for more then 72 years.
We decided for the first time ever, for this Olaffest season that we would have people say overnight all week. So the people we invited, was my younger siblings of Princess Eleanor, Prince Edward, and Princess Isabel who all live in Mom's and Aunt Leah's old apartment before the penthouse my Aunt Melissa and Uncle Elliot live in, we also invited Uncle Dan, his now wife and dear friend, Madeline and my fiancé, Henry.
When he was staying over, we had a royal engagement interview!
Before Olaffest Mom talked to me about how after Henry and my marriage she wants us (Henry and I) to go to Afana and talk to the current dictator family about ending the over 72 year old war. She then quizzed me about the history. I didn't do very well.
This was the largest Christmas gathering that the Swansons had ever had. IT was amazing and to top it off, Kristoff's friend Father Winter also showed up to give Mom, Dad and I, presents!. How amazing is that?!
A couple of days before Yensid's Year End party, I told Mom I wanted to talk to her, and we went into the living room and talk. I said "Mom, I know you want me to immediately take the throne after I get married and have my honeymoon next winter, but I would prefer to wait awhile, because I want to be there, for Henry and my children's youngest years before I take the throne." Mom said "I understand and I will need to talk to some folks to arrange it, I wish, I could have done that myself but it wasn't too be for me."
Yensid's Year End party was a smash hit.
I had a bridal shower where I asked, Hannah, Madeline, Charlene and Susana to be my bridesmaid (of course, Hannah my twin, is my maid of honour.
So a couple of days before Day of Hearts, the other love day in our world- Henry asked if he could move in, and I agreed. Yes, we're already sleeping in the same bed together- we will eventually, so what's the point of keeping us separated? Yes, the night before the wedding, he will be in the bedroom next door, but after that nothing will keep us apart!.
So the Day of Hearts was lovely. Both Henry and I, but us, my parents got to go on dates to a restaurant, run by one of Jay's family members. We had a lovely time.
Then there was Alice Day. Basically its Easter. I didn't get to see the Flower Bunny but Henry did.
I went and made a very important speech. I know I have done this like a million times before, but I'm always so nervous about doing this.
"Dear citizens of Windenburg,
You like myself have probably notice the days getting longer, in the arrival of spring. For some of us, we have recently, celebrated Alice's Day. On another topic I want to announce, that on my wedding day that my Mom, Empress Selene, is going to make Henry, my fiancé, a duke!
For the generations both in the two generations that Empire has been in the Swanson hands, but also when it was with my grandfather, Romeo's family, that when the next in line, got married, they immediately take the reins of the monarchy..
After serious discussion with the Empress and Parliament, Henry and I will break with tradition and I won't put on the heavy Crown of State, until after my fiancé and I have children and are part of the children's most vulnerable years. The Empress Selene wishes she had that opportunity after getting married, and not immediately becoming the Empress, after Grandma Juliet was. It has taken us several months to work this out before I could announce it to you, the people. I hope it will make us happy, and also you very happy.
I hope you enjoy this season and hope you think of us. As we look forward to the future."
