    Summary

    "And that's when Henry knows: He doesn't ever want to go back."

    --

    "This is very formal," she says eventually. "Sending a request for an audience with your grandmother."

    "Yes, well, this needs to be done formally," Henry says, "it needs to be done right."

    And in that moment Henry sees his mother stiffen a little beside him and he knows she's realised. She's put the pieces together. If he's not here to ask for permission to marry then—

    Henry takes a deep breath, rolls his shoulders back to lift him up to full height, and draws on all the courage he can muster. "I have come to inform you that I wish to abdicate," he says, just as he'd written and rehearsed, "and I would therefore like to petition Parliament as soon as possible."

    --

    Title is from Alexander Hamilton's letter on foreign policy. Because what else could I use?

    --

    Book canon compliant.
