"Well, it isn't the case here... Or maybe you did the casting just fine, because this looks like it was applied right after Alfred became a ghost. The signature looks familiar..." Ivan looked straight into Alfred's own eyes.
"S-Stop staring at me like that!"
Ivan's eyes snapped open in alarm, something not usually seen on the calm, composed man. Alfred protested when his hands were clamped down suddenly. "Of course it should look familiar - that is Nataliya's work." Fear crawled up in his stomach.
Alfred cocked an eyebrow. "Who the hell is that?"
Arthur almost choked.
"You have got to be kidding me -"
"I would not joke about my own sister, comrade," Ivan said dryly, releasing Alfred's hands and turning to look at Arthur. "She is obviously preventing you from reversing the spell. And I think with the case of me being able to touch Alfred is not because I am impervious to the spell effects; it would likely because she wanted this to happen."
"Why in the bloody hell would she want to do that?! Alfred has nothing to do with her."
Ivan chewed the inside of his cheek in thought. "I can safely assume that she knew you would call upon me to work out what was going on," he slowly spoke, and then shook his head. "And since I am the only one who could touch Alfred, and also since she is my sister, she would assume you would send me off to deal with her? She knew how much work I did to avoid her."
"You mean you still hadn't worked out the whole marriage thing with her?" Arthur squawked indignantly, and Ivan had to surrender a sheepish smile. "Because of your - your - inability to settle your sister's incestous feelings for you I almost thought that my son was dead because of me!?"
"... Should I answer that?"
Arthur cursed loudly. "You bloody - you, are going to settle things with her right this instant and I'm not going to hear another word from you until you get her to reverse whatever she did to Alfred, do you understand -"
"You have gone insane, da!? That is exactly what she is planning! She would order me to marry her before she would even do that -"
"Then that's your problem -"
"I am not about to marry my own sister because of your -"
"Will the both of you shut the hell up!" Alfred exploded, throwing his arms up in the air. He rounded up on Ivan who looked surprised at the sudden burst of emotion. "Look! From what I heard, you've got a crazy sister who thinks messing with my curse is an invitation to invite you over to her house for you to get married - okay that's weird -"
Ivan distantly thought Alfred looked like an annoyed puppy, but couldn't say a word when Alfred turned to his father figure next.
"And Dad, look, you're the one who actually casted that curse in the first place; but look at it this way okay, I'm the one who's turned into the ghost and not you old people!"
"We're not old!" Ivan and Arthur snapped together, and Alfred snorted.
"Yeah, sure, three hundred years is so not old, maybe it's just me." Alfred rolled his eyes. "Whatever! Just see here, okay. I don't wanna stay as a freaking ghost for the rest of my life, so will you guys just do something about it?"
"Like I said earlier, Ivan here would have to go and work things out with his own sister -"
"I repeat, I will not go and ask Nataliya - it's all up to you, Arthur, I will not be a part of this."
"Bloody hell, Ivan - you're the one who unintentionally created this mess, so you are very much a part of it - you should fix it instead of running away the whole time. And I highly doubt she would listen to me anyway."
Ivan bared his teeth. "Well then, if that's the case, Alfred would have to come along with me."
"Well, it isn't the case here... Or maybe you did the casting just fine, because this looks like it was applied right after Alfred became a ghost. The signature looks familiar..." Ivan looked straight into Alfred's own eyes.

Both the king and the prince squawked.
