00:01:03How's it going, honey?
00:01:04Hi, Mom.
00:01:05Good.
00:01:05Your father's on the line.
00:01:07Hi, Dad.
00:01:07He's asking for an update.
00:01:09It's perfect.
00:01:10Cut, I'd give it an excellent.
00:01:12Color D.
00:01:14Absolutely colorless.
00:01:15Clarity flawless.
00:01:16Honestly, Mom, I think it's exactly what Mr. Russo is hoping for.
00:01:19She did it.
00:01:20She restored it.
00:01:22Uh-huh.
00:01:24I'll let Mr. Russo know he found the perfect Mother's Day gift for his wife.
00:01:30I love you, too.
00:01:34You've got quite a talent, my dear.
00:01:37Thanks, Mom.
00:01:38Hopefully, Mr. Russo is thrilled as well.
00:01:39Well, how did the journalist put it?
00:01:42One of the finest gemologists in the world.
00:01:46Not because she chases perfection, but because she understands the soul of a stone.
00:01:53Now, you need to go pack.
00:01:56Pack?
00:01:57For what?
00:01:58Your next client, the future king of Gullion.
00:02:03The royal secretary called to finalize the booking to restore their crown jewels.
00:02:08What?
00:02:09Oh, it's huge!
00:02:10Truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
00:02:13Why me?
00:02:15Well, one, restoring gems is your specialty.
00:02:18And two, the future king saw the profile on you.
00:02:22Apparently, he likes your vision.
00:02:25As you know, the kingdom of Gullion has one of the most renowned collections of gemstones in the world.
00:02:31Now, we know their jewels, but are you familiar with their royal family?
00:02:35No, I'm not.
00:02:37I wasn't either.
00:02:38But from my research, I learned that Queen Ivy has decided to display the crown jewels for her son's coronation.
00:02:45And they want you to restore them.
00:02:48Apparently, she locked the jewels away when the king passed.
00:02:51Well, have they been seen since?
00:02:53No, but check this out.
00:02:55A symbol of national identity, artistry, and enduring prestige.
00:03:02Okay, how many gemstones are we talking here?
00:03:05A vaultful.
00:03:06Whoa, how long do I have to do it?
00:03:08A week.
00:03:09A week? Mom.
00:03:10You can do it, my girl.
00:03:12I can't.
00:03:14Yes, you can.
00:03:15And?
00:03:16Looks like we'll need to add bi-royal appointment to your resume.
00:03:20When do I leave?
00:03:22Tomorrow.
00:03:34Is the gemologist here yet?
00:03:35Not yet, sir, no.
00:03:36Her plane was delayed.
00:03:38Although we do have confirmation that she's in Gullion.
00:03:40Fenella's handling her pickup.
00:03:42So, I do have time for a run.
00:03:44Yes, although maybe we should do a shorter run today, sir.
00:03:47How many miles?
00:03:47One or two?
00:03:48As many as it takes to clear my head.
00:03:49I take it you didn't tell the Queen about the...
00:03:52Not yet, but I'm hoping that our guests arriving today will solve all our problems.
00:03:57Oh, that's a lot of pressure to put on someone who studies rocks, sir.
00:04:01I've found that if you have high hopes for people, they usually rise to the occasion.
00:04:05Worked for you, didn't it?
00:04:05Yes, although I'm still unsure if that was out of faith or desperation.
00:04:09Well, can't it be both?
00:04:11Great empires have been built on less.
00:04:13Besides, it does truly help my mental state to have my best friend working alongside me.
00:04:18Well, it is an honor, sir.
00:04:19And I'm certain that under your rule, the kingdom will thrive.
00:04:24Complimenting the prince.
00:04:25Very good.
00:04:26And I have every faith that my newly appointed head of house will ensure that this gemologist
00:04:31has all the help she needs to restore some life to our crown jewels.
00:04:34Yes, well, I'm certain that whatever state the crown jewels are in,
00:04:37this Ruby Robinson is exactly the person for the job.
00:04:41I hope so.
00:04:44And all of this used to be open to the public.
00:04:48Walking trails, cracks and the like.
00:04:56Is everything all right?
00:04:58I'm sure it's nothing.
00:05:04I have a very urgent appointment with the royal family this morning in about 15 minutes.
00:05:10Uh, we have a flat tire.
00:05:12So?
00:05:14Oh, oh.
00:05:16Do you have a spare?
00:05:17I think so.
00:05:18This has never happened before.
00:05:20You know what?
00:05:21I think they're usually in the trunk, so I'll just have a look.
00:05:27How far is it?
00:05:28The palace?
00:05:29Uh, just up the road here.
00:05:31Okay, so I can walk.
00:05:33Oh dear, be quite a trek.
00:05:35Not sure I have much of a choice.
00:05:42Walk in might not be the worst idea.
00:05:44But leave your luggage, I'll bring you up to the palace once the tire's fixed.
00:05:47Thank you so much.
00:05:48Yeah.
00:05:49Um, do you need any help?
00:05:51No, I should be fine.
00:05:53Because I can take that one.
00:05:54I need it for my meeting at the palace, which starts in ten minutes.
00:05:57Sorry about the trouble.
00:05:58It's not your fault.
00:05:59You know what?
00:05:59When I get to the palace, I'll have somebody come back in and check on you.
00:06:02Okay.
00:06:02Um, you're a gem, Ruby.
00:06:06Welcome to Gullion.
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:22Oh, excuse me.
00:06:25Hi.
00:06:26Um, is the palace that way?
00:06:29I just, I have a meeting with the royal advisor in about five minutes, and I don't want to
00:06:32make the worst first aggression ever than in my car.
00:06:34What?
00:06:35Oh my gosh.
00:06:36What was that?
00:06:37Sorry, I was, I was just trying to finalize the press announcement.
00:06:40I told you not to follow me.
00:06:41Yes, but if I, it's my duty.
00:06:43I don't mean to interrupt you, but I just really am cutting it close here.
00:06:45Is the palace that way?
00:06:46The palace grounds are off limits to public.
00:06:49But you two are running here.
00:06:50Yes.
00:06:51That's because he's...
00:06:51I'm terrible with directions.
00:06:53I'm so lost.
00:06:54Where are we?
00:06:54Okay, so the palace isn't that way?
00:06:56No, no, it definitely is.
00:06:57Well, I'm just going to restore the crown jewels, and so I really need to get to the
00:07:00appointment, which is, like, happening right now, so...
00:07:02Sorry, are you saying you don't know who he is?
00:07:04You're on the right track.
00:07:06Yes, the palace is in that direction, around a couple more curves, and I mean, three kilometers.
00:07:11Hey, can I help you with your bags?
00:07:12What?
00:07:13Uh, yes.
00:07:14That would be wonderful.
00:07:15Right.
00:07:16Oh, come on.
00:07:17Oh, my team.
00:07:17Oh, sir.
00:07:18I've got it.
00:07:19Here, let's just do it this way.
00:07:21You can go now.
00:07:22Uh, friend.
00:07:24And do whatever you'd like.
00:07:26Don't follow me.
00:07:28Okay.
00:07:30Sorry.
00:07:31Come on, man.
00:07:31Oh, thank you.
00:07:33Oh, you and your friend make quite the dynamic duo.
00:07:36You do everything together?
00:07:38Uh, no.
00:07:39We just...
00:07:40We enjoy running together.
00:07:42We have done since school days.
00:07:44Oh, that's nice.
00:07:45It's good to have friends you can do things with.
00:07:48Um, I'm Ruby, by the way.
00:07:49I didn't catch your name.
00:07:50Uh, oh.
00:07:51Oh.
00:07:53Oh.
00:07:54Oh, that's my car.
00:07:56Is it?
00:07:56Good.
00:07:58Hi.
00:07:59She's up and running again.
00:08:01Let's get you to the palace.
00:08:04Thank you so much.
00:08:05Do you need an end with the luggage?
00:08:07Uh, no.
00:08:08It's no bother.
00:08:08Oh, thank you.
00:08:11Sorry for interrupting your run.
00:08:13It's all right.
00:08:14Okay.
00:08:23Hey.
00:08:25Ruby Robinson.
00:08:27She's even more interesting in person.
00:08:39I'll be with you when it's open.
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:44That's crazy.
00:08:45Yes, we're talking.
00:08:46I'm not learning to tell you.
00:08:48Wow.
00:09:01Ruby Robinson.
00:09:02Yes.
00:09:05You're late.
00:09:06Yes, I had car trouble and it brought me...
00:09:08I am Countess Fenella Stevens, the Queen's personal advisor.
00:09:12Oh, it's lovely to meet you.
00:09:14No need to curtsy before me.
00:09:16Your task is simple, but quite important.
00:09:19The gully and crown jewels have been in the palace vault for years.
00:09:22Yes, I read that the Queen was just so saddened by the King's death.
00:09:25We resist the temptation to speculate here in the palace.
00:09:29What is relevant is that the jewels have remained completely untouched all this time.
00:09:34It might actually be a good thing, depending on the conditions that the jewels were stored
00:09:38and the temperature, the vault...
00:09:39I oversaw the deposit myself.
00:09:42I assure you, it was done properly.
00:09:44My job should be easy, then.
00:09:47If it were up to me, we'd have the crown jeweler handle the task.
00:09:51But alas, Prince Luca felt otherwise.
00:09:53And as the soon-to-be-crowned king, I cannot go against his wishes.
00:09:58But we do have a traditional way of doing things around here, Ms. Robinson.
00:10:04Adhering to protocol is what keeps a kingdom united.
00:10:08I read that this was a kingdom united by kindness.
00:10:11Well, then allow me to kindly escort you to the games room, which is where you'll be working.
00:10:18Okay.
00:10:27Welcome to the palace games room.
00:10:30I'm sure you'll find this a satisfactory workspace.
00:10:34This time of year, gullion is known for our floral displays.
00:10:38Something I'm sure you've heard all about.
00:10:41I'll give you a moment to freshen up, and then I'll have someone escort you to the palace drawing room.
00:10:56Come.
00:11:13I just heard from Fenella.
00:11:14Ruby Robinson's on her way to meet us.
00:11:16Wonderful.
00:11:17And the queen, she took it well.
00:11:19I mean, you convinced her to display the crown jewels as part of the centennial celebration.
00:11:23You never thought that would happen.
00:11:25No, that took some convincing.
00:11:26And to hire someone to restore the crown jewels from outside the kingdom.
00:11:30Also took some convincing, but Ruby is the best in the world.
00:11:32So, what did she say about the Garden Lighting Festival?
00:11:36Oh, well, she's still on a call.
00:11:38You haven't spoken to her?
00:11:39Well, not yet.
00:11:40Oh, no.
00:11:41What?
00:11:43I alerted the press secretary to release the news about you moving the festival to the town square,
00:11:48because I thought you'd spoken to her.
00:11:49The Garden Lighting Festival.
00:11:52Off the palace grounds.
00:11:54Yes, mother.
00:11:56Luca.
00:11:56Mother.
00:11:57Mother.
00:11:57I will be king soon.
00:11:59You have to allow me to have control at some point.
00:12:01It is tradition that the Garden Lighting happen on the palace grounds.
00:12:04But that excludes our subjects from enjoying a celebration which is rightfully theirs.
00:12:08The entire event is already organized.
00:12:11A task which you gave to me, might I remind you.
00:12:13Because I thought that you would follow tradition.
00:12:16Our traditions are outdated.
00:12:17Our traditions are sacred.
00:12:20Hello.
00:12:21Sorry, I was just looking for, uh, I'm Ruby, the gemologist.
00:12:27Miss Robinson.
00:12:28You were supposed to wait in the hall until summoned.
00:12:31Oh, uh, right.
00:12:33Traditions, protocol.
00:12:35Now is the time that you curtsy, Miss Robinson.
00:12:45Uh, Queen Ivy, this is Ruby Robinson, the gemologist I was telling you about from New York.
00:12:50I see.
00:12:52I hear you were very good at what you do.
00:12:54Luca, we will finish this later.
00:12:58And please, see to it that we have no more surprises.
00:13:06Ruby Robinson, meet His Royal Highness Prince Luca.
00:13:10How do you do?
00:13:11I do well, but you're the guy, the guy from the road that, who carried my bags.
00:13:16I, I told him not to.
00:13:18Why didn't you tell me you were the prince?
00:13:19Why didn't you ask?
00:13:20I didn't know I was supposed to.
00:13:22I just, I just, I didn't expect a prince to be so, um.
00:13:29Please, Miss Robinson, there's no need for that.
00:13:32I have a very strict rule, you see.
00:13:34One curtsy covers you for the whole day.
00:13:37Yes, okay, right.
00:13:39Thank you, um, for carrying my bags.
00:13:42Oh, it was my pleasure.
00:13:46Should we, uh, show Miss Robinson to the vault?
00:13:48Yes, right this way.
00:13:50After you.
00:13:51Okay, um.
00:13:52To the left.
00:13:53To the left.
00:13:58He is moving the garden lighting to the town square and streaming it.
00:14:03I don't know what has gotten into him.
00:14:04That's never been done.
00:14:06No.
00:14:07What is the public's response?
00:14:09Well, far more positive than I'd expect.
00:14:12The public is really quite excited, Your Majesty.
00:14:14Oh, well, too late to turn back now.
00:14:17Has he at least asked your daughter to the coronation?
00:14:21No.
00:14:21Jory hasn't said anything.
00:14:24Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens, won't we?
00:14:28Oh, well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens, won't we?
00:14:52Impressive, isn't it?
00:14:54Yeah, yeah, I...
00:14:55I barely have words.
00:14:59I...
00:15:00May I?
00:15:02Certainly.
00:15:04Sorry.
00:15:14This gem is exquisite.
00:15:17I've only ever heard of gems like this.
00:15:22The crystalline lattice, it's remarkable.
00:15:27I've never heard anyone speak about stones that way before.
00:15:30No, they're not just stones.
00:15:32They're organic works of art.
00:15:36Well, you can consider this room your playground for the next few days.
00:15:40You know, we really should be recording this.
00:15:42Xander, my phone, if you will.
00:15:44You'll do no such thing.
00:15:49Forgive me, your highness, for speaking out of turn, but that's not the way we do things.
00:15:53For centuries, this vault has operated without being documented.
00:15:58Right you are, Countess, absolutely.
00:16:01Although, I suppose that's because centuries ago they didn't have cameras, let alone little handy ones that you can fit
00:16:08in your pocket.
00:16:09So, I suppose we can't be certain that they wouldn't have taken a photo or two for the royal Instagram,
00:16:13can we?
00:16:14Well, perhaps not, but...
00:16:16The people of Gullion deserve to know that the gems are being restored.
00:16:19And they will, when we make an official announcement.
00:16:23Or we could update them in the moment.
00:16:25Include them in our daily activities.
00:16:27Your highness, tradition requires that we...
00:16:30Ruby, what do you think?
00:16:33About what?
00:16:35Well, about the need to change, to adapt, to stay relevant with the people.
00:16:44I will...
00:16:47I will...
00:16:48Resist the temptation to speculate, your highness.
00:16:57Very well, Miss Robinson.
00:16:59Shall we head back to your studio?
00:17:01I've had a few of the crown jewels staged for you to begin your work.
00:17:06Of course.
00:17:09All right.
00:17:19Well, that Ruby Robinson certainly is something, isn't she?
00:17:25Zander?
00:17:27Sorry, sir.
00:17:30Now, who has you smiling like that?
00:17:33No one.
00:17:33Come on.
00:17:34I've known you forever.
00:17:36That smile only means one thing.
00:17:37I...
00:17:38I don't know what you're on about, I'm afraid, sir.
00:17:40Come on.
00:17:42Who is she?
00:17:43What's her name?
00:17:45You should resist the temptation to speculate.
00:17:48Oh, you should resist the temptation to be so cheeky.
00:17:50I could have you sacked, you know.
00:17:52I won't because I'm benevolent.
00:17:54I know that smile.
00:17:56I've had the first box of jewels brought in.
00:17:59I trust you'll find everything is to your satisfaction.
00:18:01Oh, I'm sure I will.
00:18:05A reminder, Miss Robinson.
00:18:07You're here to do a job.
00:18:09A very important job.
00:18:12Restoring the crown jewels.
00:18:13Yes, you're...
00:18:17Countess.
00:18:22I'll have the rest of the boxes brought in as required.
00:18:26Good day, Miss Robinson.
00:18:27Good day.
00:18:36Okay, let's see.
00:18:39Gullion's Palace was built in 1226.
00:18:42But it was completely modernized and...
00:18:49Hi.
00:18:54You're going to be staying there the whole time?
00:18:59I guess I'm not really lonely.
00:19:13Come in.
00:19:16Ah, Fenella.
00:19:18How did everything go in the vault?
00:19:20I would say satisfactory at best.
00:19:24Do you think she's up for the task?
00:19:26I shall keep a vigilant watch over her and ensure that all proceeds without the slightest misstep.
00:19:33You wanted to see me, Mother.
00:19:35You wanted to see me, Mother.
00:19:35Jory, come in.
00:19:36Oh, Your Majesty.
00:19:39Please, have a seat.
00:19:40Oh.
00:19:46Your mother was just telling me that you don't have someone to accompany you to the coronation.
00:19:52As it happens, neither does my son.
00:19:56Oh, that, yes.
00:19:59Um, Mother, I was actually going to talk to you about...
00:20:02About how you'd love to accompany Prince Luca?
00:20:04I think that's a brilliant idea.
00:20:06I was thinking maybe we could start with the flower festival.
00:20:10Warm everyone up to the idea.
00:20:16It would be an honor, Your Majesty.
00:20:19Wonderful.
00:20:21And I am sure that Luca will be as overjoyed about this as I am.
00:20:38I'll see you at home.
00:20:45What did they want?
00:20:47For you to quit your job at the Royal Museum and take up your rightful place as Queen?
00:20:57Pretty much.
00:20:59They want me to accompany Luca to his coronation.
00:21:12You must do what's best for the Crown.
00:21:18But what if what's best for the Crown isn't what's best for my heart?
00:21:27Those pesky hearts.
00:21:29Always getting in the way.
00:21:33I wish the love story could be ours.
00:21:36So do I.
00:21:39But you have a duty to uphold.
00:21:43I won't get in the way of that.
00:21:46They're very lucky to have you, Alexander.
00:21:49But I'm the lucky one.
00:21:57Duty calls.
00:22:09We should get to know each other a bit.
00:22:11Might make your assignment a little more enjoyable.
00:22:15Okay, I'll start.
00:22:18My name is Ruby.
00:22:21And yours is?
00:22:24For Kintsforth, your name shall be known as...
00:22:29Fred.
00:22:38I'll tell you a little secret, Fred.
00:22:40If you want to sneak a peek at the Royal Gems out of the corner of your eye, I'll never
00:22:45tell.
00:22:46Keeping secrets, Miss Robinson?
00:22:48Your Highness.
00:22:49Please, call me Luca, and there's no need to curtsy, unless Fenella is around.
00:22:55Did you rest well?
00:22:57I did.
00:22:57I was just so excited I wanted to get an early start, and I've been taking in all things Gullion.
00:23:02My family's coat of arms.
00:23:04I love the lion.
00:23:05That represents endless courage.
00:23:08The swallow is a bringer of good news.
00:23:10And the two hands intertwined?
00:23:12A symbol of sincerity and justice.
00:23:15They are conjoined to represent unity.
00:23:18Lovely.
00:23:20I was just about to get started on this.
00:23:24Huh.
00:23:25Should we have a look inside?
00:23:27Very well.
00:23:33Ah, yes.
00:23:35This was my grandmother's crown.
00:23:37It's remarkable.
00:23:39Now, if my Gullion history speed read is correct, you're having your own crown design for the coronation, right?
00:23:45Yes, I meant to.
00:23:47Although, the designs that have been submitted thus far are uninspiring.
00:23:53Don't imagine uninspiring as a way you would like your legacy to be described?
00:23:58No, quite right.
00:24:00Especially since I'll be crowned king mere days before our country celebrates its seventh centennial.
00:24:08It's become a point of contention between my mother and I, literally.
00:24:12She wants me to wear something opulent, ostentatious, but I don't want to be seen as a ruler who's overindulgent.
00:24:21May I look at the designs?
00:24:24If that's not an overstep.
00:24:27Not at all.
00:24:28In fact, I would welcome your professional opinion.
00:24:37It could be better.
00:24:40That's very diplomatic of you.
00:24:44Oh, are those yours?
00:24:47They're just doodles.
00:24:49Hmm.
00:24:50How much do you know about the history of Gullion's crown jewels?
00:24:54I could probably use a history lesson or two.
00:24:57Well, then, Miss Robinson, what do you say to a little field trip?
00:25:02Come.
00:25:06Hold the fort down, Fred.
00:25:08Blink twice if you want me to bring you back a snack or a chair or something.
00:25:13All right.
00:25:14See what I can find.
00:25:15We'll catch up later.
00:25:28It's been so wild growing up here.
00:25:31I would say quite the opposite of wild.
00:25:33I just mean the space.
00:25:35I was so different from what I grew up with in New York in a tiny little apartment.
00:25:40Did you like growing up there?
00:25:42Oh, I did.
00:25:43I was never bored.
00:25:44Hey, what is this?
00:25:45Ah, the Prism of Promises.
00:25:48Oh, that's beautiful.
00:25:50Each stone was placed by a different ruler.
00:25:56Which stone is your father's?
00:26:02Wow, that's very impressive.
00:26:06King Bernard the Visionary.
00:26:08He could clearly see the future.
00:26:10He longed to bring the kingdom to new heights.
00:26:14Sadly, he passed away before he could see his vision come to fruition.
00:26:19This diamond is the last promise he made.
00:26:22To build a kingdom that feels like home for everyone.
00:26:26Not just those born into nobility.
00:26:29It's very beautiful.
00:26:30And rare.
00:26:33My father believed in light, in clarity, in strength.
00:26:37That's what a diamond meant to him.
00:26:40Even if he never finished what he started.
00:26:44Which stone is yours?
00:26:46I haven't chosen one yet.
00:26:48Well, maybe there will be something down in the vault that catches your eye to go with your new title.
00:26:52That's right, I'll need a new title.
00:26:55Any recommendations?
00:26:57Oh, well, let's see.
00:27:00How about King Luca the Rebel or the Adventurous?
00:27:04Oh, Luca the Rebel, yes.
00:27:07Rebellious like this.
00:27:09Oh.
00:27:10Adventurous like this.
00:27:12Oh.
00:27:16Maybe King Luca the Bronfond?
00:27:27Sorry, you just had a wrinkle.
00:27:29Um, that's all.
00:27:31Your Highness, Miss Robinson.
00:27:35Was there anything in your studio not up to your standards?
00:27:41No.
00:27:42No, it was.
00:27:44Then may I ask why you are not attending to the task at hand?
00:27:47Well, because I brought her here.
00:27:50I was giving Miss Robinson a well-needed history lesson in order to inspire her so she could design the
00:27:57perfect crown for me.
00:27:58What?
00:27:59What?
00:27:59On top of restoring the crown jewels, if that's something that would interest you.
00:28:04Are you sure?
00:28:05I've done my research on you.
00:28:07You are a trailblazer, and that's exactly what I want in my legacy.
00:28:11But, Your Highness, in royal tradition, the crown should be designed by the crown jeweler.
00:28:16I appreciate your input, but I've made up my mind.
00:28:21Well, have you told the queen about this deviation from protocol?
00:28:24No, I have not yet.
00:28:26When the moment presents itself, I shall.
00:28:28For the moment, as your future king, I hope, Countess, that I can rely on you to honor my wishes,
00:28:34and to keep this matter within the strictest of confidence for the time being.
00:28:39Well, of course, Your Highness.
00:28:43Now, if you'll excuse us, Miss Robinson and I have to get to the vault.
00:28:47We have a crown to design.
00:28:54Now, this here is my father's crown.
00:28:57Oh, listen, I don't know much about royal traditions, but when it comes to precious gemstones,
00:29:03I do things by the book, sir, with gloves.
00:29:05Very well.
00:29:06Carry on.
00:29:14Now, as you can imagine, I have my own thoughts about the crown jewels.
00:29:19Gullion's ready for a change, Ruby, poised for the future.
00:29:23As the next king, I must do everything in my power to be a catalyst for the growth that we
00:29:27so desperately need.
00:29:29And I believe that the crown jewels are key to it all.
00:29:33Well, they are renowned.
00:29:35My father worked tirelessly to expand the collection, knowing that they were the trademark of the kingdom.
00:29:39I would like you to put this on the top of your list.
00:29:44Okay.
00:29:45It's my mother's emerald tiara.
00:29:48I'm hoping to convince her to wear it to the coronation.
00:29:51It was a gift from my father on their wedding day.
00:29:54I've always thought my mother would be so beautiful and so happy.
00:29:58I'll make it sparkle.
00:30:00More than it already does.
00:30:03It's my hope that by revealing these jewels to the world again, it will give our economy a much-needed
00:30:08boost.
00:30:08Oh, I suspect you're right.
00:30:09I mean, you do have an incredible collection here.
00:30:12Older Gullionites are quite proud of the jewels, you know.
00:30:15Although some of our younger generation find them superfluous.
00:30:20So I have a fine line to walk between delivering the pageantry that many expect and assuring the rest that
00:30:27the royal family is not so steeped in tradition that we're oblivious to the needs of a nation.
00:30:31I certainly am not.
00:30:32Which means exactly how and where you place the jewels on your crown is of utmost importance.
00:30:38Yes, yes, exactly.
00:30:41I'm so glad you understand.
00:30:44You know, before they were all locked in a vault, the jewels were on display in the Royal Museum.
00:30:50Is that how you'd like to do it now?
00:30:52I don't know.
00:30:53I find myself torn.
00:30:55Well, I know I just met you, but you don't exactly seem like somebody who'd been inclined to just follow
00:31:02the crowd.
00:31:05No, no, I'm not.
00:31:08And it would seem neither are you.
00:31:11Perhaps you would consider accompanying me to the Garden Lighting Festival tomorrow.
00:31:17I really think that Countess Vanilla will be upset if I have been in my post.
00:31:21Oh, I know exactly what she would say.
00:31:23She would say, it's not tradition.
00:31:26Well, some traditions are worth breaking, wouldn't you say?
00:31:32I'd love to go with you.
00:31:36Well, thank you.
00:31:39Uh, should we, um, pick out one of your stones for the Royal Crown?
00:31:47Yes, of course, absolutely.
00:31:49We have work to do.
00:31:51But you know, these aren't stones, you know.
00:31:55No?
00:31:56No, they're organic works of art.
00:32:12I wasn't sure what you liked, so I grabbed one of everything from the market.
00:32:20I'm just going to put those right there for you.
00:32:23All right, let's restore some crown jewels and design a crown fit for a progressive king.
00:32:29High five, Fred.
00:32:54High five, Fred.
00:33:00Amethyst to go, Fred.
00:33:02What do you think, Fred?
00:33:04Well, if I may, Lady Ruby, yes.
00:33:08Amethyst is my favourite stone.
00:33:10It's a very good stone.
00:33:11It's a very good choice, Fred.
00:33:13Very good indeed.
00:33:20I thought my mother was going to meet me here.
00:33:22She'll be here shortly.
00:33:24Right.
00:33:27Everything's confirmed for the Flower Festival this afternoon.
00:33:30Good.
00:33:30We should depart shortly to the town centre to give you time to mingle with the people.
00:33:34Well, I'm not exaggerating when I say I cannot wait.
00:33:38Does this newfound, rosy outlook have anything to do with Miss Robinson?
00:33:44Well, I would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying her company.
00:33:48Well, as your friend, I must say I'm thrilled.
00:33:52But as an employee of the crown, I must advise caution.
00:33:56Caution.
00:33:57With what?
00:33:58With the...
00:33:59The staging of...
00:34:01The flowers.
00:34:01At the festival.
00:34:02Yes, they were in a very precarious position.
00:34:04On the podium.
00:34:06But we dealt with it, didn't we?
00:34:07You wanted to see me, Mother?
00:34:09Yes.
00:34:10Jory will be attending with you today.
00:34:13Uh, well, actually...
00:34:14It wasn't a request.
00:34:16And I think it would be a lovely idea for you to ask her to accompany you to your coronation
00:34:21as well.
00:34:23Mother, we...
00:34:24Your Majesty.
00:34:26The royal cards have arrived.
00:34:29Should I alert the guards that we are ready to depart?
00:34:32Yes, please.
00:34:33Jory, would you join Luca and me in our car?
00:34:38Of course, Your Majesty.
00:34:40Wonderful.
00:34:53Please make sure that Miss Robinson attends as well.
00:34:55Oh, yes, Your Highness.
00:35:05Maybe it's not about opulence.
00:35:08Maybe it's about why you choose to hold on to it.
00:35:15And who you hold it with.
00:35:20I think we nailed it, Fred.
00:35:22Thank you so much for all of your help.
00:35:24I mean, honestly, I just couldn't have done it without all your input.
00:35:30But, you know, when I was little, my mom used to make us paper gems for everything, whenever there was
00:35:39something to celebrate.
00:35:40If we made straight A's, or we got a home run, or we did something that we were afraid of,
00:35:48she was always really great, making us realize all of the good that we had inside.
00:35:56And, you know, it's really important, Fred, because the little things that you say to yourself end up being the
00:36:03big things that you think about yourself.
00:36:15Just leave that there for you.
00:36:17I'm off to the festival, Fred.
00:36:19Can I bring you back anything?
00:36:21Souvenirs?
00:36:23Maybe a fresh bouquet of flowers for a loved one?
00:36:27Anyone special in your life?
00:36:28Like a mother?
00:36:31Daughter?
00:36:32Wife?
00:36:35Girlfriend?
00:36:41I'll be right back.
00:36:42Don't go anywhere.
00:37:18Deidre, hi.
00:37:19Oh, it's lovely to see you, Ruby.
00:37:22It's good to see you, too.
00:37:23How are you finding Gullion?
00:37:24Oh, I absolutely love it here.
00:37:26Oh, I'm so glad to hear it.
00:37:28You know, I have a good feeling that Prince Luca will be a king for all people.
00:37:32Oh, what makes you say that?
00:37:34All of this?
00:37:35Prince Luca has brought our kingdom together and filled Gullion with the warmth of spring.
00:37:40Did you know this is the first festival that's been held off the palace grounds,
00:37:43where everyone can see the flowers and feel like they belong to something beautiful?
00:37:48That's what Prince Luca's given us.
00:37:50Not just this festival, but the knowledge that the celebration is ours, too.
00:37:54I'm sure he would love to hear that from you.
00:37:56Oh, I'm sure a prince doesn't have time for the likes of silly old me.
00:38:01Oh, if you'll excuse me, love, it looks like me daughter needs an hand with the rest of the flowers.
00:38:05Of course.
00:38:07Enjoy the festival.
00:38:08All right.
00:38:14Thank you so much.
00:38:38Luca, Jory, I think we should take our place.
00:38:40Well, actually, Mother, Countess, why don't you go ahead and we'll be right behind you.
00:38:45There's just a small errand that I need Jory and Xander's assistance with.
00:38:48Well, surely, whatever it is, Xander can manage it on his own.
00:38:51Quite right, quite right.
00:38:53What can't Xander do?
00:38:54No, but this is actually something that I need to do with them both.
00:38:57It won't take a moment.
00:38:58We'll be right behind you.
00:38:59Very well.
00:39:00There you go.
00:39:01Come on.
00:39:01I'll take care of it.
00:39:06How can we assist you, sir?
00:39:08Um, well, Jory, have you met Ruby yet?
00:39:12I have not.
00:39:13I think it's high time you did.
00:39:16But first, I'd like to relax a little bit.
00:39:20Come on.
00:39:21Let's enjoy ourselves like normal people.
00:39:24Yes, sir.
00:39:29Ruby.
00:39:30Oh, Luca, your highness.
00:39:33I thought we agreed to no-cate scene.
00:39:35Yes, I just, I wasn't sure if that was a rule when we were together, if that was an overall
00:39:39blanket statement, so.
00:39:42Um, you know Xander, of course.
00:39:43Yes.
00:39:43This is Lady Jory Stevens, Countess Fenella's daughter.
00:39:47It's lovely to meet you.
00:39:48Yes.
00:39:49Um, Xander, Jory, would you two mind going to find some refreshments for Miss Robinson?
00:39:57Yes, of course.
00:39:57I could get one of the footlands.
00:39:58No, no, no.
00:39:59That's all right.
00:39:59In fact, I need you to do it.
00:40:02But you see, your taste in elderflower-infused sparkling water is beyond compare.
00:40:12Oh.
00:40:14Right.
00:40:15Yes.
00:40:15Yes, well, we can handle that, sir.
00:40:17Wonderful.
00:40:18All right.
00:40:19Off you go.
00:40:23Ruby.
00:40:24Yes.
00:40:24You need to help me.
00:40:25Okay, with what?
00:40:27My mother is insisting that I ask Jory to accompany me to my coronation.
00:40:31Oh.
00:40:32No, but you see, I don't view her that way.
00:40:35She's a dear friend, but nothing more.
00:40:38And more importantly, I've recently discovered that her heart belongs to someone else.
00:40:44Xander?
00:40:45Yes.
00:40:46Did they tell you that?
00:40:47No, but I've known them both my entire life.
00:41:18I'm confident that I'm correct.
00:41:19I think he knows about us, do you?
00:41:20Well, if he does, he hasn't said anything.
00:41:25We must be more careful.
00:41:27Yes, we won't do anything that goes against our royal duties.
00:41:32Well, it's official.
00:41:34Operation Matchmaker is a go.
00:41:35Yeah, you think they'll go for it?
00:41:36I found myself to be very persuasive.
00:41:38Says the prince.
00:41:41Oh, I have something to show you.
00:41:42Here.
00:41:43Maybe you should sit down.
00:41:44All right.
00:41:45Ah, allow me.
00:41:47Thank you, Your Highness.
00:41:53Okay, now, I'm going to show you this.
00:41:56If you don't like it, you can be honest, okay?
00:41:58It won't hurt my feelings.
00:42:03I love it.
00:42:05Really?
00:42:06Ruby, it's...
00:42:07Yes, yes.
00:42:09Although, I do think that we should only have one large jewel.
00:42:14For simplicity.
00:42:15Okay, I like that.
00:42:16All right.
00:42:18You're right.
00:42:20Let me take a photo.
00:42:26It's simple.
00:42:27It's elegant.
00:42:28It's elegant, and yet it conveys the strength that I'm hoping to embody.
00:42:34It's perfect.
00:42:36I'm going to send this photo to our crown jeweler, and he will get started on it straight away.
00:42:40You haven't even picked out the center stone yet.
00:42:42Well, I will make that a top priority.
00:42:44I need to introduce you to someone.
00:42:46It's very important.
00:42:47All right.
00:42:49Lead the way.
00:42:52Deidre, this is...
00:42:55Your Highness.
00:42:57It's an honor.
00:42:58Deidre was the one who dropped me off at the palace from the airport, if you recall, and she made
00:43:02me a very handy quick gullian fax guide.
00:43:05Oh, um, there's even a booklet.
00:43:08It is got more pages.
00:43:10Um, I made it myself.
00:43:11Well, that's very clever.
00:43:14The national bird of gullian is the garden wren, but it's been unofficially replaced by the royal mallard, who once
00:43:21escaped during a coronation rehearsal and refused to leave the ballroom.
00:43:25That's true.
00:43:25Actually, that was my father's coronation.
00:43:27That sounds exciting.
00:43:29You know, uh, hold that thought.
00:43:31I, uh, Operation Matchmaker is underway.
00:43:35Deidre, take very good care of him.
00:43:41You know, I don't think I've met a lovelier woman.
00:43:46I would have to agree with you, Deidre.
00:43:51Jory, hi.
00:43:53Uh, Alison, I was going to go get some tea, and I would love to get to know you better.
00:43:56Would you like to join me?
00:43:58I'd love to.
00:43:59Huh, good.
00:44:01Your work sounds very exciting.
00:44:03Oh, thank you.
00:44:04It's a family business, so it's kind of a path that was carved out for me.
00:44:08Oh, I can relate.
00:44:10Very much so.
00:44:12I, uh, just always tried to be the daughter, the diplomat, the friend everyone expected.
00:44:18I didn't realize how much of me I did it out.
00:44:22Yeah, and then one day you wake up and you realize I'm living a life someone else dreamed.
00:44:27Exactly.
00:44:28But not Luca.
00:44:30He has always wanted to bring life back to the kingdom.
00:44:34Even when we were children, he would always draw these ideas for the gardens and write letters to his mother.
00:44:41There was one time he tried to repurpose the royal stables for a public greenhouse.
00:44:47Nearly gave the queen a heart attack.
00:44:49That is surprisingly on brand.
00:44:54After all these years of knowing him, I think it's safe to say that's what Luca does.
00:45:00He dreams.
00:45:01And not just for himself, but for everyone else, too.
00:45:06Well, I suppose if you're going to have a dream, making the world a better place isn't a bad one.
00:45:18Ladies and gentlemen, please gather round.
00:45:21Jory, could you do me a favor?
00:45:23Of course.
00:45:24Could you meet me in the vault later tonight?
00:45:26Prince Luca tells me that you work in the Royal Museum and I could really use your expertise.
00:45:30I'd be happy to help.
00:45:31Please welcome to the stage, Her Royal Highness Queen Ivy and your future king, Prince Luca.
00:45:54Good evening.
00:45:55Welcome, everyone.
00:45:57It's so lovely to see so many of you here tonight.
00:46:03I would like to thank everyone who worked tirelessly to make this beautiful festival happen.
00:46:08It's a delight to be able to open our flower celebration with all of you.
00:46:18Now, I know there have been some rumors going around the kingdom ahead of my coronation about the centennial celebration.
00:46:28I would like to address those rumors by directing your attention to the flowers.
00:46:34If you look closely, you will see that the flower arrangements here are representative of our crown jewels.
00:46:42I know the jewels have been somewhat shrouded in secrecy.
00:46:48But it is my honor tonight to officially announce that the rumors are true.
00:46:55We will be displaying the crown jewels once again.
00:47:10And now, without further ado, shall we light up the gardens?
00:47:22I invite you all to explore the festival, enjoy the lights, enjoy the flowers, enjoy each other.
00:47:28Thank you all for being here.
00:47:33Okay, I still have a few things that I need to wrap up here, but I'll see you later tonight
00:47:36in the vault.
00:47:37Of course.
00:47:38See you there.
00:47:38Perfect.
00:47:39Bye.
00:47:40Bye.
00:47:41Yes, exactly.
00:47:44Quite.
00:47:46That's right.
00:47:46In the vault.
00:47:48All right.
00:47:51Hi.
00:47:52Hi.
00:47:52Oh, Xander.
00:47:53Just the man I was looking for.
00:47:54Your car's ready for you, sir.
00:47:56Yes, about that.
00:47:57I think I might stay a bit longer.
00:47:59But, sir, we...
00:48:00However, it is quite important that you return to the palace right away, isn't it, Ruby?
00:48:05Yes.
00:48:06It seems there's been a gem-related emergency that only you can handle.
00:48:10Mm-hmm.
00:48:10In the vault, immediately.
00:48:11Sir, I know nothing of the gem.
00:48:13Please, please see to this.
00:48:14It is of the utmost importance.
00:48:16Quite time-sensitive.
00:48:17Absolutely.
00:48:17If your mother finds out that I left you unattended...
00:48:20Xander, I'm a prince, not a toddler.
00:48:23Besides, I'm not unattended, am I?
00:48:27Right.
00:48:28Well, I'll see to it that a car's waiting for you whenever you're ready to leave.
00:48:32Good man.
00:48:34Good evening.
00:48:35Good evening.
00:48:38Have fun.
00:48:39You too.
00:48:43I think we pulled it off.
00:48:45Yeah.
00:48:46So what should we do now?
00:48:47Why don't we go for a stroll?
00:48:51Lovely.
00:49:07What in the world?
00:49:20You two deserve a proper date.
00:49:22R and L.
00:49:25They're very good at this.
00:49:28Meddlesome, but, um...
00:49:30Not unwanted.
00:49:31No.
00:49:32Not unwanted.
00:49:45Well, I'd say today was successful.
00:49:48Based on the people's reactions, I think you're right.
00:49:51Oh.
00:49:53I used to dream about places like this when I was a little girl.
00:49:58Cobblestone streets and lantern lights and flowers that smelled like stories.
00:50:05Smell like stories?
00:50:06Yeah, you know.
00:50:08And you read something so beautiful that it just changes the whole way you see the world.
00:50:16I do know, actually.
00:50:20There was a book that my tutor gave me when I was ten.
00:50:24The Map Among the Stars.
00:50:26No way.
00:50:27What?
00:50:27Well, I read that book at least a hundred times.
00:50:29That was my favorite as a child.
00:50:31Are you just saying that because I'm a prince?
00:50:32No, okay, royal flattery aside, I promise.
00:50:37I love that story.
00:50:42Why?
00:50:44Well, because growing up, I always just did whatever was expected of me.
00:50:49Whatever felt safe or practical.
00:50:53But that story just made me wonder if I was allowed to want something more.
00:50:59To want something of my own.
00:51:02Do you?
00:51:04I think I do now.
00:51:06Thank you so much for letting me design your crown.
00:51:09Turns out you were the perfect person for the job.
00:51:20Oh, heaven's me.
00:51:23I didn't think anyone would still be here.
00:51:25I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:51:28No, we were just...
00:51:30We were leading.
00:51:30Because it's been a very long day.
00:51:32It's been a long day.
00:51:33Well, your highness.
00:51:35Oh, and I have something for you.
00:51:37Hold this, please.
00:51:38Of course.
00:51:40It's called a remember gem.
00:51:41So you can remember all of the good things that other people think about you.
00:51:49Thank you for being my very first friend in Gullion.
00:51:55Good night.
00:51:56Good night.
00:51:59I have something for you.
00:52:00Oh, yeah?
00:52:02Thank you to your highness.
00:52:04Thank you to your highness.
00:52:09Hi, Fred.
00:52:11So you haven't moved a muscle?
00:52:14Well, I wasn't sure who I was getting flowers for on your behalf, so I went with the Gullion Springtime
00:52:22bouquet.
00:52:22Hey, it's gorgeous, isn't it?
00:52:27Smells nice, too.
00:52:30All right.
00:52:34I'll just set this right here for you.
00:52:37Oh.
00:52:38See someone likes bananas.
00:52:42See you in the morning, Fred.
00:52:55Don't worry, sir.
00:52:56The Crown Jeweler has a team working tirelessly to execute Ruby's design in time for the coronation.
00:53:01Good.
00:53:02Although I'm not entirely sure that the Queen and the Countess will be too thrilled.
00:53:07Well, it seems to me there are a few things that the Queen and the Countess need to get used
00:53:12to.
00:53:15Why didn't you tell me you have feelings for Jory?
00:53:18I'm sorry, sir.
00:53:19Xander, you're my oldest friend.
00:53:22If I had known that Jory had your heart, I never even would have entertained my mother's wild schemes.
00:53:28I would have declared that the two of you must begin your courtship immediately.
00:53:33What about the Queen and the Countess?
00:53:34You don't have to worry about that.
00:53:36I'll handle it.
00:53:38I'm thrilled for you, my friend.
00:53:42And thank you for dinner last night.
00:53:45That was so thoughtful.
00:53:48Well, you don't need to thank me.
00:53:49That was all Miss Robinson's idea.
00:53:53Here we go.
00:53:55I think we're nearly there, Fred.
00:54:01Hi, Mom.
00:54:03There's my girl.
00:54:04Oh, we miss you.
00:54:05Oh, I miss you too.
00:54:06How's business?
00:54:07It's great.
00:54:08We've had so many new clients come in since your Royal of Work was announced.
00:54:12Yeah?
00:54:12But tell me about you.
00:54:13How is the palace?
00:54:14Oh, it's...
00:54:17It's incredible.
00:54:20And how's the prince?
00:54:24He's actually quite lovely.
00:54:26So, you're having a good time.
00:54:29The best.
00:54:30And, um, Mom, someone I would like to introduce you to.
00:54:34So, this is Fred.
00:54:38Fred, say hi.
00:54:41Such a chatterbox.
00:54:43Can't get in a word edgewise when you're around him.
00:54:46And these are the crown jewels.
00:54:49Wow.
00:54:50And what's that?
00:54:52Oh, uh, just designs for Luca's crown.
00:54:58You're designing his crown?
00:54:59Yeah, it kind of all just happened.
00:55:02This guy just actually went to the crown jeweler last night.
00:55:04I'm so happy you're inspired to design again.
00:55:07Oh, Mom.
00:55:09Being here and working with Luca, it's just...
00:55:12It's opened up a whole new world of ideas.
00:55:15You're feeling something for him, aren't you?
00:55:18It's...
00:55:19It's complicated.
00:55:20You know, when I first met your father,
00:55:24I was a young salesgirl who was too afraid to admit
00:55:27that I wanted to own my own jewelry store one day.
00:55:31But he helped me realize that
00:55:33my life could be much bigger than I could have imagined.
00:55:37Don't let the title scare you off.
00:55:40Prince or not,
00:55:41that kind of connection doesn't come around often.
00:55:44It's not just a title, Mom.
00:55:46I mean, this whole world that he comes from
00:55:50feels like a different planet.
00:55:53Maybe he's just someone who wandered into your world
00:55:56and saw something rare and beautiful.
00:55:59Miss Robinson.
00:56:00Oh, I gotta go, Mom.
00:56:01Love you, bye.
00:56:02Your Majesty.
00:56:04I am told that you are opening a box this morning
00:56:06that is of great importance to me.
00:56:08Yes, absolutely.
00:56:09Your Admiral Tiara.
00:56:11I was just about to get to it.
00:56:13Please.
00:56:32My husband gave this to me on our wedding day.
00:56:36It's incredible.
00:56:38I can only imagine what it must have felt like to receive it.
00:56:41It felt like magic.
00:56:46Well, I will take great care of it.
00:56:49I know Prince Luca hopes that you wear it for his coronation.
00:56:54I don't think I can do that.
00:56:57This tiara is more than just a tiara.
00:57:03Newer gemstones may catch the eye,
00:57:06but it's the ones steeped in tradition that carry the weight of history,
00:57:11and it is a history that can't be ignored,
00:57:16no matter how dazzling the newer gemstones may be.
00:57:38All right, Fred, we're done.
00:57:42These jewels are ready to go off to the jeweler and into the crown.
00:57:45Well, that is once Luca finally picks the stone.
00:58:03He still hasn't asked her to the coronation.
00:58:07No.
00:58:09Did he tell you that he's asked Miss Robinson to design the crown?
00:58:14What?
00:58:15I go against my wishes.
00:58:17But this was not the plan.
00:58:20I am still the queen, for goodness sake.
00:58:23Find Luca.
00:58:25I need to have a word with him.
00:58:39Ah, it's quite a view, isn't it?
00:58:44This is actually my favorite spot in the entire palace.
00:58:49Thank you for coming.
00:58:51Oh, I've got a cryptic text from a prince.
00:58:53How could I not come?
00:58:54Oh, please, have a seat.
00:58:57That's all.
00:59:08Oh, uh, some wine from the royal vineyards.
00:59:13You're really going for the fairy tale tonight, huh?
00:59:16Is it too much?
00:59:18I just want to make sure that you don't forget your time with us.
00:59:22I don't think you have to worry about that.
00:59:27I have something for you, Azam.
00:59:29Do you?
00:59:38You said you wanted to make the royal family feel more accessible, right?
00:59:43Mm-hmm.
00:59:45Well, other kingdoms open their palaces to the public.
00:59:49I mean, not the whole palace, of course.
00:59:51But why not display the royal gems in the royal gallery?
00:59:57It would be a great draw for tourism.
00:59:59You could partner with local vendors for pop-up gift shops or use local restaurants for official tasting menus inspired
01:00:09by the royal gems.
01:00:11And the possibilities for getting the kingdom involved are endless.
01:00:17I love it.
01:00:18Yeah?
01:00:19It's absolutely brilliant.
01:00:21I'll have Xander get started on it straight away.
01:00:25Sure.
01:00:27Sure.
01:00:32I have something I wanted to talk to you about.
01:00:36Let me guess.
01:00:37You're commissioning a second crown just in case you hate mine.
01:00:42No.
01:00:43I'm going to wear the one that you designed.
01:00:45In fact, it's going to get delivered to your studio shortly for the final gem setting.
01:00:49It's not that.
01:00:50It's all my life I've known exactly what was expected of me.
01:00:57Where to stand.
01:00:58What to say.
01:01:00I knew that my life would be dedicated in service of the people of Gullion.
01:01:04And I knew that any personal feelings I might have, well, they came second.
01:01:10But lately, I have been thinking about what I want.
01:01:14Not for the kingdom, not for duty, but just for myself.
01:01:21Oh, God.
01:01:22I know.
01:01:23I know.
01:01:24Our worlds are so different.
01:01:28But I have found you to be very inspiring.
01:01:34Inspiring in ways I never even dreamed were possible.
01:01:42You are something very special, Miss Ruby Robinson.
01:01:47Something very rare.
01:01:49I feel the same way about you, Your Highness.
01:02:00So sorry.
01:02:03Fenella and your mother are looking for you.
01:02:06Well, I can tell them you were otherwise engaged.
01:02:08No, it's okay.
01:02:08I really should be getting back to my work.
01:02:11Yes, yes, of course.
01:02:12Shall I see you in the morning, after breakfast, in your studio, perhaps?
01:02:17Yes, that would be lovely.
01:02:19Lovely.
01:02:22Good night.
01:02:24Good night.
01:02:26So sorry.
01:02:30Well, what do you think?
01:02:32Absolutely not.
01:02:34Visitors would only be allowed in the Great Hall and the Gallery to view the Crown Jewels.
01:02:38The rest of the palace would stay exactly the same.
01:02:40No, Luca.
01:02:43Ruby's right.
01:02:44We can do more to connect with our subjects.
01:02:48I want to open the doors, Mother.
01:02:51Welcome people.
01:02:52Let them see a small part of the palace for the good of the kingdom.
01:02:56And while we're on the topic, I also think we should reopen the trails on the palace grounds.
01:03:01That would be against tradition.
01:03:03Well, it was against tradition when Father did it, but he knew it was for the good of the kingdom.
01:03:08What is good for the kingdom is for us to uphold our way of life.
01:03:13I know you miss him.
01:03:16I think you might be protecting yourself by reverting back to the old ways of doing things,
01:03:21but Father...
01:03:22Father would want us to innovate.
01:03:24Like he did.
01:03:25He would want us to include the people in our lives.
01:03:28Not to keep ourselves locked in here, shut off from the rest of the world.
01:03:31Sit down.
01:03:37I know you are impatient.
01:03:39I can understand.
01:03:41You had no right to ask Miss Robinson to design your crown to restore my emerald tiara.
01:03:49You love that piece.
01:03:50That was locked away for a reason, Luca.
01:03:52It was not your place.
01:03:54Mother.
01:03:55No.
01:03:57I will speak of it no more.
01:04:13Your Majesty.
01:04:14Have you seen the Gullion Press?
01:04:18It would appear that everyone believes the Flower Festival was a great success.
01:04:24And what do you believe?
01:04:26Oh, I will admit I am conflicted.
01:04:29It was, by all measures, a good time for the people, but is breaking with tradition really
01:04:36what is good for them.
01:04:38How was your conversation last night?
01:04:43Luca wants to open the palace to visitors.
01:04:46Whose idea was that?
01:04:55Our gemologist.
01:04:57It would appear Miss Robinson might have overstepped in more ways than one.
01:05:10I'll take care of it.
01:05:22You requested tea delivery?
01:05:25Wow.
01:05:25Your royal duties really do cover all the bases, don't they?
01:05:28Well, I need to make sure that every single person in my kingdom is comfortable.
01:05:33Well, that's quite beautiful.
01:05:35That's my favorite so far.
01:05:37I can see why.
01:05:42Now, exactly what in the world is going on here?
01:05:48Countess.
01:05:49The Queen would like to speak to you.
01:05:51She's in the drawing room.
01:05:52Hmm?
01:05:53It is of the utmost urgency.
01:05:57Well, perhaps she's come to her senses after our conversation last night.
01:06:02I'll be right back.
01:06:04Yes.
01:06:10Miss Robinson.
01:06:12Thank you for your work.
01:06:14Oh.
01:06:15But your services are no longer needed.
01:06:17What?
01:06:18I've been informed that all the jewels have been restored.
01:06:21Is that not correct?
01:06:23Uh, yes.
01:06:24Yes, but I then...
01:06:26So you've completed the work you've been hired to do.
01:06:30So it would appear that your services are no longer needed.
01:06:35Your ticket.
01:06:36I've called a cab for the airport.
01:06:39I know how anxious you must be to get back to your old life.
01:06:43Well, I would really have to speak to Luke.
01:06:46To his highness before I leave.
01:06:48Unfortunately, that will not be possible.
01:06:51Why not?
01:06:53Because the queen has forbidden it.
01:06:56Now gather your things.
01:06:57We cannot keep the car waiting.
01:07:25Did you make this, Fred?
01:07:30Well, it's been an honour hanging out with you.
01:07:32Even if you are such a chatterbox.
01:07:33My name is George.
01:07:35What?
01:07:37My name.
01:07:39It's George.
01:07:41Why didn't you say so sooner?
01:07:43It's against protocol.
01:07:45Yes, well, I think that every person, regardless of their job title or status, deserves the dignity of being called
01:07:52by their name.
01:07:54I'm sorry I got yours wrong, George.
01:07:57It's been an honour working alongside you.
01:07:59You as well, Miss Robinson.
01:08:01I hope we'll see you again sometime.
01:08:13I gave my mother the flowers.
01:08:17She loved them.
01:08:19I'm so happy to hear it.
01:08:23Goodbye, George.
01:08:33Oh, what is it now?
01:08:37So sorry about this, Ruby.
01:08:41I'll just go have a quick look.
01:08:44Won't be a second.
01:08:54Mom, hi.
01:08:55Hey, how's my girl?
01:08:57Hi, Ma.
01:09:02I'm in the car on the way home.
01:09:04What?
01:09:05You're leaving?
01:09:06Yeah.
01:09:07But jewels are restored, so.
01:09:08And how did the crown work out?
01:09:11Oh, I don't know.
01:09:12I didn't get to see it.
01:09:12They sent you away without letting you finish your work?
01:09:15Well, I may have crossed a few boundaries.
01:09:20Anyway, I think you would have really loved my final designs for the crown.
01:09:24I'm sure I would have.
01:09:26And just because you didn't finish it doesn't mean you didn't accomplish a huge feat.
01:09:30And I think I would quite like the man who encouraged you to design it.
01:09:35Yeah, but I'm not royalty.
01:09:38It's not fit into their traditions.
01:09:40There's just not room for people like me.
01:09:42He made room, didn't he?
01:09:44He didn't fall for a title or a bloodline.
01:09:47He fell for who you are.
01:09:50You, Ruby, are stronger than you know.
01:09:53Following your heart makes for a much better life than one filled with regret.
01:10:01Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:10:02A client just came in.
01:10:03No, Coco.
01:10:04Love you.
01:10:05I love you.
01:10:06I love you.
01:10:15I have been doing some thinking and you may have a point.
01:10:23You're right.
01:10:25I have been trying to protect myself by going back to the old ways.
01:10:29But that is not what is best for our people.
01:10:36Here we come.
01:10:44I don't tell you this enough, my son.
01:10:47But I am so proud of you.
01:10:52Your passion, your innovation.
01:10:55I used to wonder if I was raising a ruler or a dreamer.
01:11:02And now I see it was both.
01:11:07I realize now that you don't need to rule as in generations past.
01:11:12You need to rule like Luca.
01:11:15Like the king you were meant to be.
01:11:20And know, no matter the weight of the crown, you will always be my son first and foremost.
01:11:30And I will always love you more than anything else in the world.
01:11:37I love you too.
01:11:42I know you have plans for me to marry Jory, but I can't do that.
01:11:46For either of our sakes.
01:11:48You and father, you had a great love.
01:11:52That's what I want.
01:11:53For myself as well as for Jory.
01:11:56Luca.
01:11:56No, you can't forbid my heart from feeling what it feels.
01:12:01I know you're the queen, but your power does have some limitations.
01:12:06Besides, Jory's heart belongs to another.
01:12:09As does mine.
01:12:12Ruby.
01:12:19What are you not telling me, mother?
01:12:24Miss Robinson is currently on her way back to New York.
01:12:30What?
01:12:34I particularly like this one because in that little gem...
01:12:38Jory?
01:12:38Mother!
01:12:40What are you doing here?
01:12:41Replacing the gems now that Miss Robinson has finally completed the task.
01:12:50What exactly is going on here?
01:12:53Countess, we were just, um...
01:12:55Mother, there's something that I need to tell you.
01:12:58You too are...
01:13:03What about Prince Luca?
01:13:06Mother!
01:13:07We had a plan, Jory.
01:13:10Your duty.
01:13:11Do you have any idea what the stakes are?
01:13:16You're going to be queen.
01:13:19What could be higher stakes than matters of the heart?
01:13:26I'll see you later.
01:13:39I just...
01:13:42Mr. Shaw?
01:13:44The head of house?
01:13:46But he's...
01:13:49Staff.
01:13:51He is a person too, mother.
01:13:54Not just a job title.
01:13:57I know you want the perfect life for me.
01:14:01And I see how hard you work to make that happen.
01:14:04I want my own story.
01:14:06I need to listen to my heart.
01:14:09And while Prince Luca is very dear to me,
01:14:12I do not feel that way about him.
01:14:15Xander has my heart.
01:14:17And that will not change.
01:14:19Not for a title, nor expectation.
01:14:24He is what's best for me.
01:14:25And I will not pretend otherwise any longer.
01:14:47Wait a minute.
01:14:59Ruby.
01:15:01I thought...
01:15:02I thought you'd left.
01:15:03I did.
01:15:04I just...
01:15:05I didn't feel right leaving.
01:15:06I had a job to finish, so...
01:15:09I had Deidre turn the car around,
01:15:10and then Xander snuck me in the back
01:15:12because it seems he wanted to thank me for us
01:15:14setting up a date with him and Jory.
01:15:16Are you all right?
01:15:18I'm fine.
01:15:19I'm fine now.
01:15:21Would you like to try on your crown?
01:15:24Uh, yes.
01:15:26A seat, Your Highness.
01:15:28Oh.
01:15:30Yes.
01:15:31I should, uh,
01:15:33make sure it fits, after all,
01:15:34with all those big ideas floating around.
01:15:41Have you ever done this before?
01:15:43You know, of all the princes I've met in my life,
01:15:45you're the first one
01:15:46that's actually commissioned the crown, so...
01:15:48And of all those other princes,
01:15:49how do I measure up?
01:15:53Well, let's see.
01:15:57Ruby.
01:15:58Stay still.
01:16:00Thank you for coming back.
01:16:02You're welcome, Your Highness.
01:16:05George.
01:16:06Who?
01:16:08George.
01:16:10Shall we have a look in the mirror?
01:16:12Yes, yes, let's.
01:16:18Do you like it?
01:16:21More than like.
01:16:22It's everything that this kingdom stands for.
01:16:27Unity.
01:16:29Heart.
01:16:31Boldness.
01:16:34Just like it's designer.
01:16:37Luca.
01:16:47Mother.
01:16:48Your Majesty.
01:16:50You came back.
01:16:52I had a job to finish.
01:16:54Let me get a better look at this.
01:17:06Have a seat.
01:17:08Tell me about it.
01:17:10Well, I...
01:17:12I wanted the crown to reflect Luke...
01:17:15Prince Luca's approachable nature.
01:17:19That's why there's only one prominent stone.
01:17:22A signal that he's not a man about opulence or grandeur,
01:17:26but about practicality.
01:17:29And this part?
01:17:30From our coat of art?
01:17:32Yes.
01:17:33To symbolize Luca's embodiment of what the crown means.
01:17:36Sincerity.
01:17:38Justice.
01:17:40Unity.
01:17:41And the stone choice?
01:17:43That was me, Mother.
01:17:45To symbolize the person who reminded me of who I truly am beneath all this.
01:17:51A ruby.
01:17:53Rare.
01:17:54Resilient.
01:17:55And impossible to ignore when it catches the light.
01:18:00Which you clearly have, Miss Robinson.
01:18:04Well, there's no denying it.
01:18:06This crown is a beautiful reflection of my son.
01:18:11Of the man that I hoped he would become.
01:18:15Mmm.
01:18:18I made an error in sending you away, and I deeply apologize for that.
01:18:24Finding a new way to do things is going to be challenging for me, but...
01:18:30It's time for change.
01:18:33And, Miss Robinson, I hope you'll stay with us a bit longer to oversee the display of the crown jewels
01:18:39when we opened a palace to the public.
01:18:43I will have Fenella set up a time for us to discuss it.
01:18:50If it would make you happy, I will wear the emerald tiara to your coronation.
01:18:57Will it make you happy?
01:19:01I think it might.
01:19:04Oh, if you have time to restore it.
01:19:06Oh, I would love to, Your Majesty.
01:19:08Thank you for all of your work.
01:19:11Pleasures are mine.
01:19:21I have a surprise for you.
01:19:37Jory.
01:19:39Alexander.
01:19:45You have my heart.
01:19:47Whatever comes next, I want to face it with you.
01:19:53I am so sorry.
01:20:01Heart was never something I even considered when it came to the topic of your hand in marriage.
01:20:08I was just trying to make sure your life was...
01:20:12Perfect.
01:20:16Perfection is a myth, Mother.
01:20:18I love you.
01:20:19I'll be all right.
01:20:21I promise.
01:20:22I love you too.
01:20:30Mr. Shaw.
01:20:33Jory is incredibly special to me.
01:20:36I love her with all that I am.
01:20:40And I understand that I can be a bit prickly at times.
01:20:45But that is only because I am trying to do what is best for her.
01:20:49For her to have the life she deserves.
01:20:52Because she is such a special young woman.
01:20:56She really is.
01:21:00I think I may have formed my judgment of you in haste, Mrs. Shaw.
01:21:06But if you're willing, I'd love to get to know you.
01:21:09As a suitor for my daughter.
01:21:14I would like that very much, Countess.
01:21:18I look forward to getting to know you better, Mr. Shaw.
01:21:21As do I, Countess.
01:21:24Shall we?
01:21:31A little bit further.
01:21:33Can I open my eyes?
01:21:34No, not yet.
01:21:36You have to trust me.
01:21:38Oh, this is...
01:21:38I've trusted you for quite some time.
01:21:41Slow.
01:21:42One more step.
01:21:43Turn this way.
01:21:45Now you can open your eyes.
01:21:52So, I had to pick a stone.
01:21:55Mm-hmm.
01:21:56Mm-hmm.
01:22:01And you'll be happy to know that I did.
01:22:03I chose a stone that represents my love for my kingdom.
01:22:10For my duty.
01:22:11And for a certain gemologist.
01:22:21A ruby.
01:22:24Beautiful, precious stone.
01:22:26And the most incredible person I've ever met.
01:22:37By placing a stone, you're making a vow, right?
01:22:42Oh, yes.
01:22:43Yes, I'm making a vow.
01:22:46That I will serve my country with the same heart and compassion as the woman who reminded me that love
01:22:55doesn't weaken duty.
01:22:56It defines it.
01:22:59The traditions are beautiful, but they shouldn't be restrictive.
01:23:03A woman who encouraged me to follow my heart.
01:23:08A woman who I believe I have fallen for completely.
01:23:13A woman who I believe I have fallen for completely.
01:23:17Miss Robinson.
01:23:18Yes.
01:23:20Will you do me the great honor of accompanying me to my coronation day?
01:23:26I would love to.
01:23:32Your Highness.
01:23:34Your Highness.
01:23:35Your reframe a great honor.
01:23:37I wish her far away.
01:23:41Noo.
01:23:44Noo.
01:24:02If you'rereceive r ir皇.
01:24:03If you're watching yourlaus.
01:24:03Yes, we're on.
01:24:05In twenty.
