Title: To Be Queen Rating: PG Word Count: 193 Pairing: Team Regicide - Delia/Josiane Round/Fight: 1/H Summary: Delia wants Josiane… on their team.
Alex and Delia watched as Prince Jonathan twirled the Copper Island princess around the dance floor.
Delia considered the laughing princess carefully. “She could be a problem.”
Alex chuckled and finished his wine. “Jealous?”
“Don’t be absurd,” she snapped. “The prince means nothing to me.”
“Now.” Alex smirked.
Delia glared and wondered, once again, why she put up with this arrogant puppy. “The Queen favours her for Jonathan.”
“It certainly would appear that way.” It appeared Alex was of a mind to be intentionally obtuse.
“And if they marry and she gives him an heir? What then?”
Alex smiled down at her. “You’re quite right, my dear. She must be stopped.”
Delia ached to slap that patronising look off his face, but merely sneered instead. “We need her. She clearly has a plan; we need to turn her plan into our plan. Otherwise, she'll get in the way."
“And how do you intend to do that?” Alex asked, collecting a full glass from a passing squire.
Delia lips pulled into a devious smile. “By giving her what she wants.”
“And what might that be?” He grinned, already knowing the answer.
“To be Queen.”

I really love the way you've portrayed the relationship between Alex and Delia here. It's so nasty and they obviously dislike each other, yet they are still on the same team. Wonderfully subtle.

Thanks Sidonie, Alex did start to take over a little, but I just love his and Delia's relationship so much, I couldn't help it!
