Luana smiles. "In any case, we will be sure to produce a royal baby, no matter what." She finished her tea. "And I will do my best to allow papa to see it as well."

"How... How have you been feeling lately, papa? Any better?" There was a slight hint of hope in her otherwise quiet voice.

"Exhausted, but the doctors say it is just the medication I am taking. Hopefully it will effectively treat the cancer so I may have a little longer with you."

She nodded. "You better be here when I return from Scotland." She half teased, though one could hear genuine worry behind her voice if they listened close enough.

"I will," he chuckled softly. "Remember that the doctors said I have a year..."

She nodded, gently taking his hand. Her eyes suddenly grew soft, something far different from their usual charismatic look. "I love you, papa..."

"And I love you, my darling Luana," he replied gently, patting her hand with his free hand. "Remember that, always."

"I will, papa." She planted a small kiss on his cheek before standing up straight. "Well, they should be getting the car ready for us any minute. I think we should take our leave."

"Have a wonderful trip, you two," he said gently, smiling up at Luana, his pride and joy.

"We will, papa. Thank you." She gently took Ambrose's hand and led him out of the room and towards the stairs.

Ambrose awkwardly waved to the king and queen as he was dragged upstairs.

Luana was quiet as they walked for a few moments, before regaining her usual demeanor. "So. Are you ready for Scotland?"

"I guess as ready as I'll ever be," Ambrose laughed nervously. "How about you?"

"I'm ready. It has been a while since I've left the palace for an extensive stay somewhere."

He nodded gently. "That makes sense... I've only just gotten here, so I'm still a bit discombobulated."

"I'm sorry if everything is moving too fast for you. Things are only rushed because of my father's health. If he was better, you would've had a few more opportunities to meet me before we got married."

"I'll be fine," he said softly. "I knew what I was getting myself into, after all."

She nodded slowly, a small smile appearing on her lips. "Yes, I suppose you did. Now, let's go to the car. I'm sure it is waiting for us by now."

She led him downstairs and out the doors, where a luxurious black car was waiting. The driver smiled to the two of them and opened the car door. "Good evening, Your Highnesses."

"Good evening," Ambrose replied softly as he got into the car just after Luana.

The door shut behind him and Luana grinned. "How does it feel to be called 'your highness'?"

"Strange as all get-out..." he sighed.

She giggled softly. "'All get out'...? You have such a funny way of wording things."

"Well.... I'm American, after all... it doesn't seem strange to me."

"I suppose not." She was quiet for a moment as she looked out of the car window, watching everything whiz by. "Do you miss it?" She asked suddenly. "America, I mean."

"Yes, I've heard. The Depression has crippled that country, hasnt it?" She sighed. "Unfortunately, a number of other countries have been affected by it as well. We can only hope that times get better for them."

He nodded sadly. "Yeah... I can't even get in contact with any of my family now."
