Hillary Queenton

"The heralds had been announcing that Hillary Queenton would be queen. She says queenly things like thee and thou and forsooth, and he last name is Queenton, after all."

"But when the royal counter-uppers counted up the final votes, they realized the people had dared to choose the merchant Donald! The heralds and Hillary were horrified. Donald didn't care what the heralds said about him, and he was determined to Make the Kingdom Great Again."
