At the castle, " I still can't believe you picked that woman for your bride, out of all the choices you had"says a woman, dressed in expensive clothing, short stature pale skin, and black hair pinned in a style to fit underneath her crown. "Well mother, she's who I picked and you must admit she is quite stunning and has fitted in perfectly here in Nevara." Says prince Talon as they walk slowly, through the breezeway on their way to the gardens. "Yes she is quite beautiful, look at her now playing with the peasant children in the garden." Says the queen, they both look over at a young woman, beautiful bathing in the sunlight. Laughing and playing with the children, she turns and smiles at the prince. " come here my beautiful bride to be....
-back in Duluth, lord count's state, "out of all of the options he could've picked he picked her." Says Bridget. "well  dear sister she is the most beautiful of us all, and the most outspoken." Says Margaret the Second to you youngest, short, of a larger figure, fair skinned, and tight kinky curls.  "Who is us Margaret, I'm the most beautiful of the daughters and should have rightfully been picked" Camry snarls, and just before the last sister could speak. "That's enough bickering girls , none of you were picked, so none of you are going to be wives or the queen." Yells Lady Count, " let's get ready for you father's departure to go see your uncle Landford." "Of course mother" all the girls say in unison.
-Back in Nevara, "you'll make such a beautiful wife, but being a queen takes more than beauty JP" says Queen Thelma. "Yes of course your majesty, I'll try my best to be a queen fitting of the tile." The queen looks at jp, raises her hand and dismisses the royal dressers. She then steps close to Jp, " don't try and be a queen fitting to my opinion girl.." Before she could finish, " I think you misunderstood what I meant your majesty, I'm going to be a queen fit for my standards." In a shocked smirk the queen and JP make eye contact, and then in rushes the prince. "Talon you're not supposed to see me before the wedding oh my god get out." Says jp in an upset tone, " I'm here about the wedding your uncle Landford has passed, your father is on his way to Valheim to view his body." The rooms grows silent and JP lets out a scream, and falls to the floor sobbing.
- weeks later in Valheim, -bells ringing- " the royal family is here, the royal family is here!!" Screamed an announcer, the people rush to the streets, a band of horses carriages and guards come down the street on the path to the estate of lord Landford. -inside the third of five carriages sits prince Talon, and future princesses JP. "We've made it, how are you feeling darling." Says Talon as he rubs the thigh of his future queen. "I'm feeling as well as could be expected for the situation at hand." Jp says in a low tone. - inside the estate the carriages unload and Widow Karen Count(Landford's wife). Is there dressed in black, and greets the royal family. Along beside her are JP's sisters, father, and wick stepmother. "Oh wow here comes, your sister girls "QUEEN" to be" says lady count sarcastically. "Hush now mother, our dear sister has the authority to have you beheaded now." Camry says, while laughing. "Girl ought to have yo...". Now introducing your queen to be LADY Jasmine Patricia Count and your Future King Sir Talon Jerome Kingston the Third. The couple walk up the stairs , greet the Family of the estate and JP's Family. After this the royal family, Jp's, and Lord Landford's all go for the viewing of the body. In the view no one cry but lady JP and she's escorted out and is consoled by Widow count. "You're uncle was the greatest man I knew JP, I will never love another". " Sorry for the scene, but uncle Landford was the best he never treated me like an outside, he always made me fell in." Says Jp with tears on her face, " I can remember a time when all the other girls, were playing and they told me that only legitimate daughters of father could play. Uncle Landford stepped in and said -if that's the case then JP has just as much right to play as you girls-." Jp says while she sobs more intensively. "He truly was a great man". The scene fades to night , and everyone is gathered around the table for supper. "So Jp tell us, how's Nevara." Bridget says, "it's beautiful, you should really see it yourself." Jp says in a sad monotone voice. "Let's not worry your sister, with ample questions she's tired." Says Widow Count, "lord I wonder how Lady Marabelle would feel about the pass..." interrupted abruptly by Lady count. "DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT WHORES NAME HERE!!!". Every one stands in shock. Widow Count yells back "SHE MAY HAVE BEEN A WHORE TO YOU BUT SHE WAS...". " that is enough you are in the prescience of a future king, everyone to your rooms now." As the all begin to disperse Widow Count whispers to Jp " When the night is dark, sneak your way into my room I'll tell you exactly who Marabelle is." -later that night in Widow Count's room, a knock in the sequence •knock , break,Knock•. "Come in young queen the coast is clear". say Widow Count, jp enters the room dressed in black. "Hello lady Karen, you said you I would be told who Marabelle was." Says jp in a light whisper, "yes come have a sit, my dear". jp slowly approaches the seat, and takes it. Widow count leans in "tell me dear what do you know of your mother." Jp takes a breath and responds, "well from my blessed stepmother, I know that she was a whore who my father slept with and produced the stain on the family name." "But from my aunt Julie, I know that she was a woman who not much information is know aside from her beauty and charisma." Jp says, and takes a breath. Widow Karen Grasps jp's hands. "Poor girl your mother was no whore, but she as very special in fact she was....". •boom• a crash comes from down stairs, and the women rush to hear what had caused such a large stir. They rush to the scene to find, nothing more than a cat knocking over as large chest. "Well that was good for nothing" the prince says and everyone laughs.
-Months Later in Nevara. "RING THE BELLS, RING THE BELLS. IT'S WEDDING DAY IT IS W-E-D-D-I-N-G DAY." -inside of the kingdom JP is getting dressed, and suzie is there to help her finish getting in her gown. "Oh my lady I am so excited for you, I can't believe you're going to be queen." Suzie smiles hard.l, and finishes zipping up her lady's gown. "It seems like just yesterday I was helping you get into that golden gown the night you met your husband." Suzie says still smiling hard enough for her cheeks to burst in the corners, "I've missed you so much suzie, you've been around for my two most major life events. This may be a sign from the gods that you should accept my offer and become my right hand maiden." Jp says as she looks down, at suzie fixing one of stitches in her wedding gown. Pure white , the ballgown shape, Flowers embed in the train, off the shoulder, with crystals lining the neck of the gown going all the way down to the palms of the gown."You're father would never have that, and I'm not worthy of the title first maiden my lady." Suzie says making sure not to make eye contact with JP. "My father dosent have a say in the matter, and just months ago I was fit for my last name let alone queen of the domain." Jp smiles down at suzie, suzie responds "I'll accept the position." Jp jumps in excitement, and they hug. "Well now let's get ready for your big day. -in the main hall of the castle, " she's the most beautiful woman in the domain, forever may she reign, the most beautiful woman in the domain." A man sings, the doors of the castle leading into the main hall are opened. In walks, future queen JP, everyone stands. As she walks her dress glitters, even the veil glitters. Prince Talon is at the end of the isle, dressed in a suit of red with matching embroideries. When each, eyes meet they both let out a tear of joy simultaneously . Jp makes it to the end of isle, looks to the crowd and notices one of her sisters is missing. She brushes it off and turns to her king. They both exchange vows the officiate, states "I command you man and woman, king and queen. May no malicious intent pull them under." The now Queen, and King kiss making their marriage official. •boom• the doors of the hallway fly open. "SHE's DEAD SHE's DEAd!!", an unknown woman yells. JP rushes to woman faster than any other person present at the wedding. She grabs the woman and shakes her hoping to make her gain some sort of consciousness. "Whose dead tell me now!!" Jp yells at the woman. The woman in full sob says "The Widow Karen Count." JP faints and is caught in the hand of her husband. The entire crowd gathers around the woman, JP, and the prince
