Estaban por salir a escena en su noche de estreno, y claramente Maria estaba nerviosa, no tanto por la obra sabía su papel a la perfección, solo le preocupaba que todo saliera excelente y sobre todo la escena del beso, ya que sería la primera vez que ella y Bertie se besaban y aunque iba a ser actuación ella quería que saliera perfecto, así que no tardó en acercarse al chico con una sonrisa —Hola— expresó con una sonrisa un tanto tímida mientras observaba al chico y entonces sacó un pequeño paquete de mentas —Ya sabes para que todo salga perfecto— no tardó en acomodar la pequeña pluma en su cabello —Y oye rómpete una pierna—

No pudo evitar sonreír mientras observaba a su compañero tratando de que sus sentimientos no se hicieran tan obvios y cuando escuchó el comentario solo asintió con la cabeza —Si, o sea he escuchado historias donde todo sale perfecto, y con suerte será nuestro caso, digo al menos yo confió en ti— expresó bastante animada mientras se acomodaba en su asiento para poder verlo mejor —Si digamos que mi compañero en esa ocasión creyó que era una gran idea comer un fish and chips poco antes de la obra y bueno su aliento no era el mejor, y se negó a tomar una menta antes de la escena así que te imaginaras que no fue la mejor idea— una mueca adorno sus labios mientras recordaba aquel hecho —Así que bueno aprendí también con eso a siempre tener unas mentas antes de actuar y espero que no consideres que pienso que tienes mal aliento si es que antes te ofrezco una es solo precaución—

Bertie estaba acostumbrado a escuchar ese tipo de comentarios sobre lo bueno que era, pero, de alguna forma, para el antiguo Ravenclaw se sentía especial viniendo de María. Quizás porque ella era su compañera de escena y alguien que, en cierto sentido, compartía su pasado: ambos provenían de familias exitosas en el mundo del teatro (aunque en su caso, la fama recaía únicamente en su madre). "Sí, también lo escuché. Supongo que es un arma de doble filo, ¿no? Puede ir muy bien, pero también mal," comentó Bertie, encogiéndose de hombros, con una leve sonrisa que intentaba restar importancia a la situación. "¿En serio?" Preguntó con un interés palpable reflejado en su expresión. "¿Qué fue lo que pasó? Para no repetir lo sucedido," agregó rápidamente, intentando disimular su curiosidad y evitar parecer alguien interesado solo en el chisme.

LXIX.
November 2018
There was the Prince of Wales’ 70th birthday celebration within days and a trip from King Harald V of Norway to London for at the Anglo-Norse Society. King Harald had been a first cousin of Isabella’s grandmother Josephine Charlotte, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg and the two shared some fond memories of the former Grand Duchess. It was a strategic move on behalf on Buckingham Palace to have Isabella at the Queen’s side considering Isabella’s blood relations.
But of course, the most important thing was Isabella and Harry had two announcements to make to the public. The first had been that the couple and their two sons had officially moved into St. James Palace after Isabella had personally funded the renovations for a lease that was not disclosed to the public. The separation of the offices of The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke & Duchess of Sussex was now going in effect. Just days later, Isabella and Harry announced they were expecting another child in the Summer of 2019.  
The news of another royal baby had shocked not only the world but more importantly, the friends and family of Isabella. It was then Luisa Maria, Isabella’s sister-in-law and double second cousin, had told Isabella to never contact Joachim again. Luisa explained that Isabella was stringing him along and Joachim refused to be the other man in their relationship. While it left Isabella heartbroken to find the man, she deeply loved for years was now out of her life, she truly wanted to fix things with Harry. They were about to have another child and she barely spent time with her eldest sons.
The mutual decision to work on their relationship was decided after the pregnancy announcement. It was far more difficult than anyone had thought. Joachim was still Isabella’s family and the brother of Luisa Maria, Isabella’s sister-in-law. There was no avoiding him especially whenever Isabella went to visit family in Switzerland or Belgium, Joachim would be there or someone would mention him.
December 2018
At first, the presence or mention of Joachim would make Isabella go silence or grow uncomfortable. Things quickly changed when Harry would talk to her, ask her how she is, and pay attention to her. The cold and unstable woman seemed to change to this calm and loving woman. Harry learned that Isabella wanted attention and she would latch herself to any man who paid enough thought to her and her feelings.
When Harry suggested he and Isabella go to a Christmas carol service at St. Luke’s church in London, supporting the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund, Isabella immediately agreed. She had acted civil and smiled even to the Middleton family whom last time they interacted Isabella had been a stuck-up little girl. While the coldness was still there, Isabella did her best to smile and nod.
There were few engagements around the winter months so Isabella and Harry started spending more time with the Bourbon and Habsburg families. Isabella could not stop smiling since her newest niece, Juliana was going to be baptized, and Isabella was given the honor of being one of the godparents.
“What do you think?” asked Isabella as she thrilled around in a pale blue dress.
“You look fine,” replied Harry.
“Just fine? I was hoping for more than that.”
“You look beautiful?”
Isabella laughed a little, “That sounded more like a question than a statement. I’m going to go find another dress.”
“You don’t have to do that. The one you’re wearing is fine,” argued Harry.
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“I don’t like the idea of leaving Charlie and Bertie.”
“They’ve been acting fussy all day. I don’t want them crying the entire time,” said Harry.
“I understand that but they will be the only children not there.”
“Would you rather our sons be there reason everyone is annoyed?”
“No,” answered Isabella.
“They’ll make an appearance at the end but I don’t want to trouble others,” explained Harry further.  
“Okay. Are you okay?”  
“Why?” asked Harry.
“Because you are always a little uneasy around my family.”
“I’m just trying to match faces with names in my head when I meet your extended family. I don’t want to call someone by the wrong name, that’s all.”
“Is that all?” asked Isabella.
“What happens if you die this time?”
Isabella was taken back by the question, “We’ll be taking more precautions. We know what to expect so we can try and prevent that as much as possible.”
“You can’t have anymore. I won’t let the three of them grow up without a mother,” fought Harry.
“Okay. I understand that, but it’s also my choice whether or not I want to risk my life at the thought of another child. I know that’s selfish but you have little to no say in what I do with my body.”
“I can’t have Charlie, Bertie, and the newest baby growing up without a mother.”
“You could always re-marry to someone you actually love and they just pretend to be there mother,” joked Isabella. Harry’s face showed that he did not think that was funny. “Sorry. Bad taste,” apologized Isabella.
“I don’t want you dead. I care about you, you should know that by now,” replied Harry.
“I do know that. If it makes you feel better, I care for you too.”
“You know we didn’t even celebrate our one-year anniversary.”
“I was still recovering from giving birth,” spoke Isabella.
“Things have been going really well for us. No more steps back like it used to be,” observed Harry.
“We just have to see how long it lasts. When it comes to me I can have a couple weeks, maybe months, of happiness then it turns into something else,” replied Isabella.
“It won’t be like that anymore. We’ll get you the proper help once our child is born.”
“Help? Makes me sound like a lunatic.”
“Makes you human. I wasn’t able to help my mother but this time it different. I won’t let history repeat itself.”
There were long seconds of silence, “Come on, we don’t want to late to Juliana’s christening.”
“Wait.”
“What?” asked Isabella.
“You look beautiful
Christmas in Norfolk, Boxing Day in Belgium, and New Years in Switzerland. There were mini trips to France, Italy, and Monaco organized by Isabella’s family. Harry and his small family seemed to travel all over Europe during their break from royal duties. Amongst the holidays, Marie Christine had given birth a daughter named Countess Charlotte Marie Gabriella Isabella Astrid Colienne Immaculate de Limburg-Stirum on December 28, 2018, in Milan, Italy. She later declared that the child would be her last and at the age of 35 she saw no reason to have any more children.
Jean, former Grand Duke of Luxembourg rang in the New Year with 18 great-grandchildren with Luisa and Isabella still pregnant. Isabella’s cousin Princess Maria Annunciata announced her engagement with another one of Isabella’s cousin Archduke Johannes of Austria. The engagement came at a great shock considering that no one knew about their short 3-month relationship shortly before.
“So, your cousin to marrying your other cousin?” asked Harry.
“It seems so,” replied Isabella.
“Isn’t that a bit weird?”  
“My mother and father did the same thing. You know how Luisa is my double second cousin, it’s because her mother and mine are cousins and her father and mine are cousins. There are other instances of this happening. Christine is an example,” explained Isabella.
“Here goes another story that will make me think,” joked Harry.
“Well, shortly before her own marriage Christine’s brother Michel married Princess Eleonora of Orleans-Braganza. Eleonora is the sister of Christine’s husband Prince Antonio of Orleans-Braganza making their children double first cousins. It was very awkward at first and in my opinion, it hasn’t gotten any better. People already think we practice incest and our family dynamic is weird so why not just play into them? Right?”
“I don’t know about that,” wondered Harry.
“Adelaide is pregnant again. She’s going to make an announcement after my grandfather’s 98th birthday celebrations.”
“How many is that now?”  
“Just three pregnancies and a wedding. A slow year if you’re asking me,” joked Isabella.
“Still more than in my family.”
“True but your family is different. We have more free will than you ever did.”
Harry was going to reply before Isabella and Harry’s private secretaries came into the room.
“What is it?” asked Harry.
“Sir, we have an issue regarding your sons.”
“Our sons?” asked Isabella a bit frightened.
“It has been pointed out that The Earl of Ross and Lord Albert were born in Belgium.”
“Yes, that is common knowledge. I went into early labor hours in Belgium after my brother married a Luisa who happens to also be a Belgian princess. What do they have to say?” asked Isabella.
“Yes, ma’am but it’s that fact which upsets people. Your sons live on taxpayer money and they were born in Belgium.”
“I can’t do anything about that. Charlie and Bertie have Belgian and British citizenship and there is nothing they can do to change that,” argued Isabella.
“We can renounce their Belgian citizenship for them,” suggested Harry.
“We will do no such thing! Dual citizenship is nothing wrong plenty of people have it. Do people not realize that I am still a foreigner? I am a Swiss and Belgian citizen in London with no British citizenship yet.”
“They recognize that too ma’am. It would be best to renounce your foreign citizenship and please the people.”
“Please the people? Do you think I would bend to the will of people I care nothing for? Someone bring me Charlotte!”
Less than a minute later, a gasping Princess Charlotte came into the room, “What is it, Belle?”
“Do you think I should renounce my foreign citizenship and that of my sons?” asked Isabella.
“Goodness no Belle! Your whole persona is that fact that you are a foreign Archduchess of Austria marrying into this hun family.”
“Charlotte! We will not use that word. You seem to forget that my family were Kings of Germany centuries ago. Other than that, I agree with her. I will not renounce any citizenship, we shall simply put it in a better light.”
“How do you expect us to do that ma’am?”
“A foreign tour of course. I speak Spanish, French, German fluently and speak Dutch, Luxembourgish, Russian, and Italian with a strong accent. Going to Belgium, Luxembourg, or Switzerland would be useless since I am on speaking terms with their Prime Ministers and with Liechtenstein ambassadors. The Mediterranean would be a good stop but some might see that as more of a vacation than a royal tour. I am a great tool but others would rather me rust away so I don’t outshine others.”
The Luxembourg Grand Ducal Court released a photo from Jean, Grand Duke of Luxembourg’s birthday celebrations. The number of titles extended far more than people realized. It was that moment that Isabella had finally been seen properly in the public eyes. The “Diplomatic Duchess” was far more valuable than many people originally thought. Not only could she speak no less than four languages fluently with several more languages under the belt, but the woman was highly educated in the game of politics. Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May saw that once she was pictured with the Prime Minister of Liechtenstein, Prince Minister of Belgium, and some ministers of the Luxembourg government during the announcement of Princess Maria Annunciata of Liechtenstein and Archduke Johann of Austria, Prince of Habsburg-Lorraine.
The fight for Isabella became a full-fledged fight between the Conservative and Labour Party. While royals were meant to stay out of politics, many saw Isabella as more of an overseas chess piece. She could not get involved with British politics, but other countries in which she visited or previously lived in did not count. After all, Isabella still retained Belgian and Swiss citizenship and still working on gaining her British citizenship almost two years after her marriage.
All of January, minor politicians found ways to get Isabella on her side. When Belgian noble Count Philippe de Lannoy died on January 10 Isabella called her grandmother Yolande to see how she was doing. Yolande and Philippe had been first cousins as the grandchildren of Ernst, 10th Prince of Ligne. Yolande and Philippe’s cousin Antoine, 13th Prince of Ligne had married Princess Alix of Luxembourg, a great-aunt of Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg. A son of Antoine and Alix married a Countess de Lannoy, second cousin of Count Philippe. The royal and aristocratic marriages in the Belgian and Luxembourg courts was the most prominent. As a result, the funeral was a large occasion.
Queen Mathilde of the Belgians, Grand Duke Henri, Guillaume, Stephanie, Princess Alexandra, Prince Louis, Prince Guillaume, Princess Sibilla, Princess Maria Annunciata of Liechtenstein, Archduke Johann of Austria, Countess Anna von und zu Acro-Zinneberg, Countess Olympia von und zu Acro-Zinneberg, the Lannoy family, and Belgian politicians were in attendance. Count Philippe’s funeral had drawn in a small number of Belgian politicians which interested others but meant little to nothing to Isabella.
By the end of January Isabella traveled once again to Switzerland for the United Nations. There was a meeting with Crown Princess Mary and Executive Director for UN Women and UN Under-Secretary-General Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka. There were other royals too like Queen Maxima, Queen Mathilde, and Prince William but all eyes were on Isabella. What she was wearing, what she was doing, and the news of a new royal baby was all over the headlines.  
February 2019
While Harry and Isabella were playing with their sons one afternoon, Princess Charlotte of Murat whispered in her ear of the death of Orleans pretender Henry, Count of Paris and the failing health of her great-aunt Alix, Dowager Princess of Ligne. While The Count of Paris was distantly related to her by blood and by marriage, the possible death of her aunt Alix was a devastating blow. Besides Jean, former Grand Duke of Luxembourg he only had two siblings remaining and once they were gone it would be the end to a dynastic generation.  
“What would you like for us to do?” asked Charlotte.
“I’ll go to the funeral of the count. Do you think my sister Christine would go?” asked Isabella.
“Rodolphe’s aunt is a Princess of Orleans, of course, they would go.”
“Christine why didn’t you tell me about your mother’s health?” asked Isabella to Christine.
“She did not want others to know,” replied Christine who mother was Alix, Dowager Princess of Ligne nee Princess of Luxembourg, Princess of Nassau, and Princess of Bourbon-Parma.
“It’s her health. We are family,” argued Isabella.
“She didn’t want others to worry. She thinks she’s too old and already seen the birth of a great-grandchild so there isn’t much more for her in that context.”
“Oh, I wish she didn’t think that way.”
“The woman is 93 Belle. She lived in a time of war and peace. She is one of the few of her generation I’m sure watching others die before her has left a mark,” replied Christine.
“I fear this is only the beginning. We will all face death in the family,” warned Charlotte.

Una pequeña risa se escapó de sus labios cuando observó el acto de su amigo y nuevamente sintió una pequeña vuelta en el estomago y maldijo nuevamente a las mariposas que el chico le ocasionaba. —Bueno tu no te quedas atrás, eres bastante bueno Bertie en verdad— si bien sabía que tenía talento le gustaba escucharlo más porque siempre había tenido miedo que creyeran que solo conseguía papeles por quienes eran sus padres. —Si aunque bueno he escuchado anécdotas muy feas por situaciones así pero espero no sea nuestro caso— si bien aquel momento la tenía nerviosa creía estarlo disimulando bien —Bueno si una vez, pero no fue la mejor experiencia que digamos—

"Ok, lo siento, lo siento," respondió con una pequeña sonrisa, mientras frotaba la parte del brazo donde la contraria lo había golpeado, fingiendo que le dolía más de lo que realmente le había afectado. "En mi defensa, solo estoy siendo honesto. No puedo callarme cuando noto que alguien tiene un gran camino por delante," dijo, levantando las manos en señal de rendición. El tema que la muchacha había traído a la conversación hizo que elevara una ceja. Higgs no había pensado en aquello hasta que ella lo mencionó. "Es cierto, sé que algunos esperan hasta el día de la obra para que sea más natural," comentó, recordando un consejo que había escuchado de algunos compañeros de su madre, que también era actriz. "¿Alguna vez has besado a alguien en el escenario?" inquirió de repente, interesado en la experiencia de la contraria en cuanto al tema.

Sin duda Bertie se había vuelto un gran amigo, aunque en el fondo ella siempre hubiera tenido otros sentimientos muy en el fondo. La risa y las palabras del chico pronto la hicieron sonrojarse aun más —Basta me estas halagando demasiado y pronto voy a estar roja hasta las orejas— expresó con una ligera risa y empujándolo ligeramente gracias a la confianza que existía entre ambos —Aun así gracias Bertie— el tono de su voz y su sonrisa reflejaban el agradecimiento y también el cariño que sentía por el chico —Sin duda, no me imagino como son las obras cuando los protagonistas se odian o algo así, creo que lo único que me preocupa sobre nosotros es que tendremos que besarnos— si bien no habían practicado esas escenas si la ponía bastante nerviosa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bertie consideraba a Maria una gran amiga. Aunque no la había tratado mucho hasta después de salir de Hogwarts, el moreno veía en ella a alguien con gran talento y que, seguramente, podría llegar a grandes lugares. Una suave sonrisa se posó en su rostro, un gesto que parecía estar siempre presente en él. "¿Estás bromeando? Reconozco el talento cuando lo veo, y veo en ti mucho," le aseguró Higgs a la muchacha. Bertie tenía un gran ojo para notar cuando alguien era bueno en algo, por lo que no eran halagos vacíos los que salían de sus labios. "Oh, eso es tan cierto. La química es importante. Es tan bueno que nos llevemos tan bien," añadió, asintiendo con la cabeza un par de veces.

A pesar de que lo conocía de años y últimamente se habían vuelto más cercanos e incluso amigos, el ligero cosquilleo en su estomago que surgía cada que interactuaban no había desaparecido del todo, pero Maria se había vuelto mejor ignorandolo, como justo en esos momentos, lo que no pudo esconder fue el sonrojo en sus mejillas ante el halago de su compañero —Oh vamos no soy tan buena, y ayuda mucho cuando los co-protagonistas se tienen confianza, y también hay cierta química entre ellos, y creo que eso es lo que nos pasa a nosotros, que nos conocemos y hay confianza—
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A pesar de saber que muchos lo consideraban alguien con un talento innato para ese tipo de tareas, escuchar los elogios de María lo hizo sonreír aún más. Escuchar esas palabras de alguien a quien consideraba tan talentosa como ella era, sin duda, música para sus oídos. "Gracias, y sí, sin duda lo son", respondió, dejando escapar un suspiro de cansancio. "No, no, no me des crédito por tu talento. Creo que podrías tener de coprotagonista a una piedra y aun así lo harías genial."

—Sé que así será, hemos practicado bastante, y todo el equipo es muy bueno— expresó con una sonrisa, mientras observaba a su compañero, sin duda estaba aprovechando que eran casi los últimos en entrar en escena para lograr tener esa conversación. Al escucharlo usar aquellas palabras tan comunes en su ámbito la sonrisa en sus labios se hizo un poco más grande —Y oye lo harás increíble ya verás— realmente lo creía y por primera vez las mariposas en su estomago eran motivo de los nervios por salir a escena por primera vez como protagonista y no en un papel infantil, y en una obra que, si bien no era ni Broadway ni West End, si era algo importante en la comunidad mágica, y no por estar cerca del moreno. —Y supongo que te vere en el escenario— bromeó un poco para después volver a su posición y esperar su señal para entrar la cual no tardó mucho y era casi después de la del chico.
La obra estaba transcurriendo sin problemas, y a Marie le parecía un tanto divertido que en sus papeles Bertie estuviera detrás de ella, y no fue hasta que la escena del beso se acercaba que los nervios estaban mas presentes en su ser, pero como buena actriz tenía que disimular.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ya había calentado tanto física como vocalmente. Se encontraba en una de las alas del escenario, esperando a que comenzara la obra. ¿Estaba nervioso? Un poco, si era honesto. Pero sabía que los nervios podían convertirse en una ventaja si se manejaban correctamente, canalizándolos en energía positiva para su actuación. Con curiosidad, se asomó por un pequeño espacio en la cortina, echando un vistazo a la zona donde se encontraba el público. Al ver que el teatro estaba lleno, una mezcla de emoción y responsabilidad se apoderó de él. Pudo divisar a su familia y otros rostros familiares entre los asistentes, lo que le dio un impulso adicional de determinación. "Gracias, todo va a salir bien, ya verás," dijo con una sonrisa, intentando tranquilizar a la muchacha a su lado. Notaba los nervios en su rostro y asumió que, como él, estaba ansiosa por la obra en general. "Tú también, mucha mierda," añadió, utilizando el argot teatral que ambos comprendían bien. Era una forma de desearse suerte, una tradición que compartían todos los que se aventuraban en el escenario. Con esas palabras, sintió que estaban listos para dar lo mejor de sí mismos.

No pudo evitar el pequeño hormigueo en su estomago en cuanto noto la sonrisa de su compañero. —Y eres muy bueno en eso, así como lo eres componiendo, y es comprensible los ensayos suelen ser cansados— expresó con una gran sonrisa halagando claramente al contrario. Y cuando escuchó el cumplido un sonrojo adornó sus mejillas, si bien estaba acostumbrada desde muy pequeña a recibir ese tipo de elogios era muy distinto recibirlos de Bertie —Gracias, pero no fue solo cosa mía también tienes mucho que ver así como los demás del elenco. Y estoy un poco cansada fue un día muy movido—
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Recibió a su acompañante con una sonrisa en los labios. Era bueno pasar tiempo juntos después de la obra; de esa manera podrían crear una interacción más fluida y veraz para los personajes que interpretaban. "Fue genial. Amo cantar, amo actuar, pero por Merlín, creo que necesito un descanso de todo eso, y si lo digo yo...", rió ante sus propias palabras. "¿Y tú cómo estás? Hoy te luciste en la práctica", elogió las habilidades de la pelinegra.

Recién había terminado de recoger sus cosas después del ensayo cuando se encontró con Bertie. Tenerlo como su co-protagonista sin duda la ponía un tanto nerviosa pero también era una especie de sueño hecho realidad, y claramente se aprovechaba un poco de su trabajo para interactuar más con el moreno. Al escuchar su invitación no tardó en tomar asiento a su lado —Gracias, creo que hoy fue un día bastante pesado— expresó dedicándole una pequeña sonrisa —¿Tu como estas?

Cansado del ensayo, el moreno se encontraba sentado en una de las escaleras del teatro. Tener a María como su co-protagonista era emocionante para él, ya que la muchacha compartía el mismo entusiasmo por la obra. Claro, María era muy bonita, algo que Bertie había notado, y aunque solía ser una persona segura de sí misma, ella en particular lograba ponerlo un poco nervioso. "¿Yo? No, no para nada", respondió cuando se dio cuenta de la presencia ajena. "Ven, siéntate, seguro estás cansada", añadió, haciéndole un poco de espacio.
