Princess Elizabeth
Elizabeth knocked on the door of Queen Aurora's chamber. It was very different at night with the guards not around as much but still it was a bit nicer. Elizabeth knew that she could roam around the castle and take the secret passage back to her room when going downstairs. "Your majesty are you still awake?" Elizabeth asked. She knew it was probably not the best time to apologize about the argument but knew that if she apologized at night it would be better in the morning and then she could get some rest which she needed. Elizabeth had not slept well for the past couple nights worrying about the rumors going around about France being Great Britain's enemy. It was not true and Elizabeth hoped with all her heart that the Queen would not find out about her thoughts from the ridiculous rumors.

Continuing to gaze silently at the bright moon glittering over the golden city, Aurora turns and looks at her door, hearing a knock and a small voice that echoed from the hallway. Primping her dress, she walks over to the door and opens it ajar, seeing Elizabeth's face and giving wonder of her appearance. Aurora figured that she would come to apologize for the foolishness of her deluded sister, but she was unsure....Aurora smiles pleasantly and softly says...
"Oh. Mademoiselle Elizabeth.....Please, come in...."
Aurora noticed Elizabeth's concerned look, as if she needed to finish something she did not intend to start....Aurora felt confused, but understood Elizabeth's puzzlement....

Princess Elizabeth
"I apologize that you had to stand there while my sister and I were having a disagreement. I know that we both should not be acting like that. I am 21 years old and know that it is sometimes hard to act my age and apologize for whatever else may have happened that has been a little bit awkward since you have been here. I miss the way that the monarchy use to be. When it was not ruled by a prime minister. Don't get me wrong William is a wonderful gentleman and I am glad that he takes his job so seriously but sometimes I feel that royalty is beginning to be a joke to some people." Elizabeth said.
"Why did I say that and always have to say what is on my mind. This is going to get me into trouble someday." Elizabeth thought to herself.
"Aurora please do not tell anyone about what I have told you. I speak my mind constantly and I know that if I do not stop it will get me into trouble not only with my father, sister, and William but if the people hear about it then there could be terrible consequences." Elizabeth said.
She never felt that she could tell anyone anything but she felt different around Aurora. She felt that Aurora seemed like someone who could become a good friend to her and Elizabeth had never had a friend before.

Aurora nodded her head when she apologized, fully accepting it in her mind, for she could never understand the relationship between blood sisters; how normal it was for them to act so distressful to one other, or to simply have moments of great compassion......Aurora would never learn the feeling, nor experience it, which made her think of how lonely she was in the world...
Trying to overcome the feeling of a bothersome thought, the subject of a simple apology switched once again from Elizabeth's odd mind...Aurora twitched her head and grew puzzled once Elizabeth mentioned the Prime Minister, and how it became a misfortune for him to be part of their monarchy....Aurora thought how incoherent Elizabeth was, to hear such a proclamation of unappreciative matters, especially when the British Monarchy has always had a Prime Minister since before the 17th century, vowed to do the political settlements for Great Britain, a struggling duty that not even Aurora, nor the King himself can do, for the King is the one who holds the power.....Even though Aurora felt her acts in the political world are inexperienced and weak, her knowledge in history was not as dim as Elizabeth's, for she knew the organizations that must be made to fulfill a prosperous monarchy; something Aurora has always wished for....
Recapping the theory in her mind, Aurora tilts her head and looks at Elizabeth, with a clueless expression....responding to her prejudiced opinion; trying not to get involved in a newly debate that can be made.....Aurora uses her calm trait to make the conversation less debatable...She says softly...
"Oh Mademoiselle, there is no need to apologize about your sister, I understand perfectly....Please do not worry about me, I am quite fine here in your home..."
Aurora smiles and walks over to a small table, where a glass, porcelain pitcher of water and porcelain cups stood...She pours herself some water, along with a cup for Elizabeth, and drinks pleasantly, clearing her voice as she continued to say softly....
"I must say, I do feel misunderstood about your opinion, about your Prime Minister, for your monarchy is very fortunate to have such a man who can handle such difficult tasks...especially in the political state...William must be a great apprentice for your Father; I am quite shocked to hear such a proclamation from the "symbol" of Great Britain.......If only my country was fortunate to have a Prime, I would use that chance and skills to perfect France, for I tend to be a "perfectionist" myself.......Your father is the one who holds the power of Britain, William comes in the secondary part of the category......You are a very lucky woman to live in such.....a luminous country....Appreciate what you have dear Elizabeth, for others, like myself, wish to have what you are blessed to carry......."
Aurora smiles brightly, thinking about how her country can have the same glory, if aided....She drinks her water and responds....
"And I promise...this conversation will remain in this room, and no where else......you have my word"

Princess Elizabeth
"Thank you Aurora. Well I must leave to get some rest before tomorrow. I do agree with you what I thought about William was very selfish I guess I just never really thought it through and I do realize that it is nice for us to have a Prime Minister and one as good as William is. I hope you have a good night and if there is anything else we forgot to put in your room please just let one of the guards know and I will see you tomorrow." Elizabeth said.
She realized that Aurora was right it was good to have a Prime Minister. She walked out of the door picking her long dress up so she would not trip over it.

As Aurora said goodnight to Elizabeth, thanking her for her assistance and quickly seeing her slip out of the room.....Aurora closes her door and sighs, thinking how she would never understand Elizabeth and her diverted mind, constantly turning negative and positive when she speaks.....
Aurora walks over to the center of the room, looking around, admiring the grand scenery of the balcony and furnishings...feeling delighted to be equipped with comfort and space for her small visit in London.....Aurora walks to her mirror and takes the broaches off her hair, letting her amber, long curls loose on her back and shoulders...She places her earrings and necklace in her jewelry box she brought.....As she was about to close the box, she pauses and notices Lucian's necklace that she still kept secret from everyone else....She decides to place it on, admiring the radiant jewels that flickered with the candlelight....Remembering those dark memories that seemed centuries ago, but affected her gravely; her soul remaining dark and broken, but even the smallest artifact from her lost love remained a lit candle in the depths of her heart.....This thought made her smile, seeing her face glow in the mirror.....
Aurora continued changing into her night garments, placing a robe over and tying the strands together.......She did not feel weary, though, she felt the day that was spent felt weeks.....being occupied by those long hours of conversation with William and Elizabeth......Aurora felt her bed, how comfortable it was to jump in and sleep automatically, but she took a glimpse of the balcony, and the moon still gleaming on the stone pavement...Aurora decides to spend some quality time out on the balcony, leaning, once again, on the barrier and taking in the night stillness and cool wind.....She looks down, examining the city, slumbering peacefully in their warm homes, spotting every light dimmed, listening to the sounds of the sea echoing through the streets and buildings.....Aurora admired every moment of the night; she decides to quietly close her eyes, placing her elbows on the barrier, lying one hand on her jaw line, and the other rubbing the necklace that was hidden on her chest by her hair length....humming peacefully, a soft melody, as the night overwhelmed her soul, feeling such peace that can only be felt in the divine, golden city of London....

The dawn has passed and the flaming sun's radiant rays of light covered the city, revealing the golden textures of the buildings and the wandering people continuing their daily routine....It was nearly noon and Aurora was informed by a servant that Lunch will be prepared soon, where the King and his daughters, including the Prime Minister, will be present.......Aurora knew this was the chance to discuss her matters more seriously; she was hoping the peace treaty will be done as soon as possible so that her wishes may continue proceeding...
Already dressed and primped, Aurora sits in front of her mirror to place her fine jewelry on....She begins to think about last night, and how she observed William in his appalling state, needing to help him with his ghastly condition...She began to feel nervous, hoping that the Prime didn't know about her awful display in helping him...for she felt it was quite improper.....but she knew she had to react to his alarming act.....As the thought of her display kept pulsing in her mind, she then thought about how he slept peacefully...realizing how "human" the Prime was..something that seemed so hidden from others, that lucky enough, Aurora was able to witness......His slumber deeply reminded her of Lucian, and how she observed such a peaceful action in the Clinic, where he was injured and weak; caressing his face as she attempted on William without realizing she was taking care of a complete stranger.......As she fixed her curls to its rightful position, she sighs and forgets the thought of an unexpected event....
Aurora begins to wonder about the King himself....wondering if he is as stiff and cold as William; for the King was the only missing monarch she has not met yet, wondering if the family traits she has faced with William, Elizabeth, and Amelia will affect her gravely with the King....She hoped the King will be more understandable to proceed with France's wishes faster and aid her as soon as possible......Aurora stands and stretches, relaxing herself so that she may look proper when she meets the whole monarch in the dining hall....A servant knocks on her door, informing her that the monarch was waiting for her arrival for Lunch.....Aurora nods her head and heavily breathes silently......for her nerves began to react so vigorously.....
