Pilar and Guillermo work out a deal with a public university so the Princess will be awarded the title of "Distinguished Alumni". It's a delicate matter because she didn't even study there, but the goal is for Pilar to earn the favor of the public opinion. The event has been meticulously planned, but there's one thing that neither Guillermo nor Pilar had prepared for.

For the first time, Pilar will inaugurate the new judicial year. Although the event is rather bland, a surprise awaits our princess. It's become a tradition for some judges to dine with her father, the king, after the event. Pilar will be hosting this year's lunch as well, but during the meal, she will make a discovery that will completely change the way she views her father and her own life.

Guillermo's mother has passed away and Pilar attends the funeral in hopes of convincing Guillermo not to quit his job and to come back to the palace with her. But, in the hours before the service, the princess will come to an unexpected realization. She will discover that, for some, the monarchy still means something worthy of upholding.
