The Grand Staircase in the Great Britain palace. There is also a secret passage to the Princess Elizabeth's Drawing Room on the side of the staircase.

"To be honest your majesty, the person who rules Great Britain is really the Prime Minister. There have been many changes made that even though I am not necessarily the most fond of I need to accept. You can tell by this wonderful grand staircase that we do love very intricate designs. I apologize if I seem forward to ask you this but do you ever feel like you are not exactly positive if you have made the right decision? I never wanted an arranged marriage but am also concerned for this great country. My father never had me worry about an arranged marriage because he wanted me to find love on my own. I do fear that I will never find someone and sometimes wonder if I made the right decision by not telling my father it would be easier if I had an arranged marriage. I have been trying to hint at that fact by coming up with the idea to throw a ball but it would be very improper for me to throw a ball for myself. Are you betrothed to anyone Queen Aurora?" Elizabeth asked.

As Aurora was examining the grand staircase, full of class and well-furnished spaces, she turns her head and faces Elizabeth, noticing how forward and curious her young mind was to changed the subject so rapidly...;Aurora was thinking how such a subject could of jumped from a pleasant sight see, to something very personal and obscured. Thinking about the over-done actions of the Prime Minister, Aurora began to think if the British Monarchy held a family trait of "rushing" things that should not be fully made to haste. She began to understand the family more, wondering how she would not be surprised to meet another monarch with a mind of "time-limits".....
Placing, yet, another confused expression of her pale face, Aurora was not about to create a new fuss; for she expected that the young Elizabeth was very naive, yet dim-witted to bring about such a subject in which Aurora preferred to keep sealed, for she did not admire such an arrangement from the beginning. With her talent in conversation, and placing matters at ease, Aurora gently returns a small smile, relieving herself from such energy of the dull young girl...she responds softly....
"Oh. Well..um. Let me first inform you that you may call by Aurora, for I do not need to listen to my title all the time, if you understand my position..."
She giggles softly, for being called "Queen" has never stopped ever since she was crowned. Though, being with other monarchs, she felt that they should inform her by her name, or another formal title, but Queen. Aurora then continued....
"I see that your mind is quite inquisitive, but I assure you, it does not bother me at all Mademoiselle. I keep my personal matters to myself, especially when it concerns another monarchy to be involved, so I will not talk about it any further, if you do not mind. Perhaps, once our treaty has prevailed, then I shall speak to you about any kind of matter. As for your Prime Minister, how long has he reigned in your Throne, is he in any blood relation to your monarchy.....I ask this for I noticed the Prime is quite young...?"
She smiles again, seeing Elizabeth grin at the question. Aurora felt, with time, she can be quite close with the young princess; to be able to have the chance to be part of another monarchy, other than the Spanish kingdom in which she felt quite distant from....

"Aurora, I will admit he is not of blood relation. As soon as everyone decided that we needed a prime minister and he was offered the job and he accepted it. We did have to listen to what the people wanted and I always try to do my best to help everyone even if it's not something I necessarily wanted I get use to and adapt to in time." Elizabeth said. She felt like she could trust Aurora and was more understanding and mature than her sister.

Thinking about William, and how he made his way to great power, to be along side the King himself; Aurora wondered how much of a fight he had to get through to reach such an opportunity that was truly impossible for anyone to achieve. "God was at his side", she thought to herself, for a chance so "rare" can always be given to those you needed it most; as this train of thought passed, the curiosity for William's past life triggered, wondering how a man of great intelligence, of dedication and truth, has placed himself above all others, being almost as powerful as the King...
Aurora nods her head to Elizabeth, learning about him, wondering about him, for she was still inspired by his works; she wanted the same strategies and mind that William carried; to be as powerful as him, so she may show that kind of intelligence to her own country; to finally have the courage and capability to be stronger and more successful than before...Aurora gently grins and responds to Elizabeth's comment.....
"Yes....to place yourself after your country, to dedicate your whole life to reign, is a sacrifice we must make, for we hold the power in our hands....and Our People depend on us for their well-being, for their lives....Yes...I understand fully. William must of wished to have such an opportunity to serve his country. That is why, Mademoiselle, I am quite inspired by him. I hope our alliances will be granted, so that I may learn from this "ambitious seeker" and grant my country the same glorious life your people already received....."
Aurora was smiling at the thought, feeling very confident that the British Monarchy will assist France, and purify it with fruitful changes; to shape France to it's real, honored country.......As Aurora went up the staircase with Elizabeth, watching her steps carefully, lifting her dress properly, Aurora's eyes wandered around the 2nd floor, observing many rooms and more elegant furnishings. Aurora delightful smile grows and she asks.....
"Mademoiselle, these rooms look wonderful inside, are most of them chambers?.....Perhaps you can also tell me more about your current family, the King himself....?
She holds her hands together properly, standing in the center of the red carpet, examining all the rooms from the middle; leaning towards the staircase...

 Amelia headed to the grand staircase in hopes to go horse back riding. She had done that a lot while she was living in the country for almost nine years. She had only just returned on request by her own father. She was still not sure why he wanted her home he was already stressed as it was and she knew that her being home was going to bring more stress so she knew to stay out of his way when she could. She hoped he knew that she wanted nothing to do with the ball since Elizabeth made it clear that it was so that a sutor for her. Amelia suddenly heard her sister's voice and she really did not want to be spoted. She went down the other side of the stairs but there was no getting away. The guards spoted her and bowed to her. "Princess Amelia it's good to see you back in the palace. You look more like your mother though there is a bit of your father in you as well." Amelia was the spitting image of her mother but her mind set was more like her father's. She looked down knowing that she was now caught.

"Aurora I am not sure if you and my sister have met already. This is my younger sister Princess Amelia." Elizabeth said. In her mind she knew that she should not introduce other people. It got her into trouble with William. "Where have you been Amelia?" Elizabeth asked.

Being surprisingly informed, Aurora turns around to spot the other young monarch of this kingdom. Though, Aurora did not expect to see Amelia in such an improper position, looking very dull, hidden, and unwanted to be seen. Aurora looked at her for a moment, with an odd expression on her face, then released a smile and bowed properly...saying sweetly...
"Good evening Amelia. It is great to finally be at your acquaintance. I am Aurora, it is an honor to be here in your home...."
She proclaimed softly, noticing that Amelia's expression was quite addled and gloomy. All Aurora thought was to show a delicate smile, glancing back at Elizabeth, noticing how she makes dull eye contact to Amelia, secretly using her telepathic mind to tell Amelia to shape up.......To Aurora, this signal was very noticeable and placing her in an awkward position.....

Amelia curtsied. "It is very nice to meet you." She looked to her sister. She could not tell her that she had been in the throne room. "Why does it matter where I was. I have just gotten back from the country and you are already trying to send me away again by throwing this ball so that a sutor will impress me. I don't want that. I want to fall in love like in the stories that I read." She was getting upset again about the ball again.

Aurora began to look puzzled, being placed in the middle of a position of sisterly arguments. Though, Amelia was quite careless and dim-witted to bring up a personal remark in front of a guest, the queen herself....Aurora looked down, holding her hands, feeling awkward and confused, as the naive sisters continued to argue.... Elizabeth, yet again, tried to tame her deluded sister from her fussing and embarrassment. Listening to such a remark from Amelia; Aurora thought that such a fairy tale can never exist in the monarch world.....was Amelia that mindless and foolish....reality can never be part of a fairy tale, nor can love come in swift wings...Aurora knew this as a fact, for she is suffering with the thought of love....how her life became stringed, as if she was a puppet of her monarchy....she had no choice, but to accept what she is required to do....
Continuing to look down, listening to the awful argument of an obscured ball that was to be settled....Aurora raises her head, giving a small smile and announcing clearly over their unstoppable fuss....
"Mademoiselles........Perhaps, if you may please lead me to my room, I will happily depart from your personal "business". But I insist, today has been a long day for me, I would like to rest. Elizabeth.... perhaps we can continue this wonderful tour tomorrow.....until then....goodnight.."
Aurora was lead to her room by one of the nearby guards of the hallway....Entering her chamber, she notices the interior design, and how the culture of Great Britain has flourished every wall and furniture of the room. She noticed that her luggage has been emptied, already settled in the room. Aurora walks to the balcony, leaning towards the stone barrier and observing the marvelous scenery of nightfall in the golden city......Remembering William's proclamation of his country, and the beauty of the people...Aurora took a moment to take in the fresh night breeze and observe the half moon's glorious moonlight shining through the streets and buildings of London.....As she smiled, she thought about her country, and what she is ready to bring for France; the same beauty and sweet scents of graceful lives in which Great Britain was fortunate to achieve......

Princess Elizabeth
"How could you humiliate me like that Amelia? Do you have no respect for me or this country? It is important that we have this alliance. Father told you about it I'm sure because I was there so either it slipped your mind or you just decided to humiliate me to be mean but whatever the reason is do not humiliate me again while Queen Aurora is here. Father knew about the ball and was upset about it but that does not mean that you need start fussing about it while we have a guest here and I am trying to show her around and you should have been present when we were at dinner not hiding from us again. I need to go apologize for this behavior and as for you learn what to say and not to say." Elizabeth said furiously. She knew that she was being hard on her sister but also knew what was at stake if the alliance did not take place. Great Britain could easily become vulnerable again and she would not let that happen to her people.
