Auretta is taking a walk in her garden when Andrew decides to speak with her.
-May I join you?
-Andrew! Shouldn't you rest?
-Don't worry! I'm fine! I'm better than ever!
-Fine, but not so long! I don't want you to fall back.
-Listen, I wanted to talk about Morana. I don't think that it's a good idea to let her stay with us... I mean she is Snow White's daughter.
-But she is my cousin, and I don't think that she is on Snow's side. I can't let her down, just like Snow did to me. I mean I'm basically her aunt! I know it sounds crazy because we have just a few years difference, but this is the truth...
-Blood is not everything you know.
-You really don't like her!
-No! I think she tries to hit on me! That's why she is here.
-Oh Lord! Andrew! Not everything about you – answers and laughs.
-All right! I warned you! Don't come to me cry when she tries to take me from you!
-Who told you I want to be with you?
-Well, it's obvious!
-Really? What kind of globe in you?
-Don't deny it! There is nothing wrong with that! In fact, I like you too!
-I have to concentrate to my revenge!
-So? That doesn't mean you can't have some romance or love!
-Well, I don't want to be distracted!
-I learned something from my little journey! You never know when your last moment will come so live like every moment will be your last! Don't waste it! You will regret!
-Then what do you suggest? Let my sister win again?
-Of course not! But you can have a nice date with an idiot who almost ruined his chances with you!
-Mabey that idiot should ask me out first before he gives me his opinion about it!
-Mabey he will! – finishes Andrew the theme as they continue walking smilingly.

Auretta knocks on Grimhilde's door. She opens it and lets her in. As she looks at her daughter, she can tell Auretta seems to be very happy. This makes Grimhilde happy too. She suffered so much, and she is always so sad, finally she is smiling.
-Auretta, come in! How nice to see you.
-Hello Elizabeth! It's nice to see you too! – says as she walks in and sits down. – I just wanted to thank you everything! That you took care of Andrew while he was injured! You really helped me a lot!
-My dear girl! You don't have to thank me! I already told you! I'm there for you, I will always help you!
Auretta similes and hugs Grimhilde then continues.
-You know, Andrew pointed out something.
-What would it be?
-I can't waste any time to care about for those whom I love, especially not for revenge.
-He is right! I learned it the hardest way! Trust me! He is right!
-Do you think I should give him a chance? If he would ask me on a date?
-Oh! – she surprised but happy that Auretta asks her opinion about that – I think you should go for it!
-Thanks Elizabeth! – hugs her again – that's means a lot to me! You're like a mother to me!
-It means a lot to me too! I'm happy I could help you!
*****
Not long after Grimhilde talked with Auretta, Andrew wants to speak with her too.
-Sorry for disturbing you Grimhilde, but I have a question for you!
-I'm listening!
-Can I ask out your daughter?
-Since when my opinion counts to you?
-Since you're the mother of my love.
-Love?
-You heard right! I love her! But I know that the two of you belong together and if you don't like me, I won't do anything! I meant what I said in that stable! I won't let her lose her mother again. She suffered so much! She deserves to get her mother back! In fact, if it's worth you deserve too your happy ending.
-Nice speech young man! I don't hate you anymore! I have no objection against you. – says with smile. – You can ask her out, but! Morana is a problem there! Please be careful! It can end very badly! She is a snake just like her mother! I can see that! She will cause headache for us!
-You're right Grimhilde! I tried to speak with Auretta, but she won't listen to me! She laughed at me because I said she is here because of me!
-Yeah! I think that too! But you can't say it to Auretta just like that! She is blind by this girl! She wants to see the good in her so badly! I don't blame her! She just wants a relative... who she never had in her life
-Grimhilde! I want to assure you that I want nothing from that girl, and I never will!
-I believe you Andrew, but still! Be careful! I will try to keep my eye on her, but it won't be easy because it seems that she knows who I am. Her mother told her everything! I'm sure the first time I will get in her way she will blackmail me!
-Don't worry you have my help! But if you accept my advice, tell Auretta the truth before someone else will!
-I will when the time comes! It's not right in this moment! Now! Go and ask my daughter out! And don't you dare cause pain her! – says Grimhilde as she winks at him.

Grimhilde and Andrew was right because as they spoke out Morana's intentions she in her room started to think out her next plan. She has to get Andrew as fast as she can because her mom is probably very angry, and she will move very fast after the last meeting. The problem is that Andrew likes Auretta, and there is a chance that he already in love with her. Morana not just have to make him fall for her she has to show Andrew how bad choice is Auretta. She sits down in front of her mirror and looks in it.
-I have to show Andrew how bad Auretta can be! When she breaks his heart Andrew will come to me for comfort and then I will get him! When he realizes that she is the worst person in the world he will love me who is there for him and care for him! Andrew likes Auretta because he sees her as a good caring princess who want the best for everyone! Now he will see that Auretta is actually a terrible person and I'm the good one. I just have to get the bad side of Auretta somehow.
As Isabell walks in the hallway, she hears all of it because her door is opened a little, she wants to rush inside and confront her immediately. She puts her hand on the door handle but when she is ready to go in a voice shuts her down from her back.
-Don't even dream about it!
She looks back, its Grimhilde. This is awkward! Grimhilde just witnessed how she spayed on a royalty and wanted to yell at her.
-But your highness! You didn't hear what she...
-Yes, I heard! Andrew already knows this! He will handle it and we will help him! But we won't spy on this girl and yell at her because we will make it worse! Auretta believes in this girl she will defend her! We have to be patient! I will keep my eye on her and act if it's necessary! Until then, you don't dare to do anything! She will win if you act without thinking!
-You're right! I'm so sorry! I'm just having a hard time with all of this changes. My whole life was about to protect Auretta and now everything is falling apart.
-I know Isabell! But this is just has to happen! You can't work to the enemy's hand! You did a great job with Auretta! I know you love her, but you must trust in me and let me take care of this whole situation! That girl is dangerous just like her mother! I don't want anything bad happen with you! Please stay away from Morana and be as discrete as you can!
-As you wish your majesty!
As they speak, they hear a loud noise from outside. They quickly run near to the closest window. They cannot believe their eyes: Snow White's army is there! Auretta, Andrew and Morana also rushes there.
-What happened? – asks Auretta worriedly
-Oh honey! – answers Grimhilde – it's Snow's army! They're trying to burn down the rose pain wall with fire balls.
-Oh no! – says Morana as she realizes, her mother was faster than she thought.
-What now? – asks Andrew as he looks at Auretta
-We have to do something! They will come inside and kill us! -answers Auretta
-This is all your fault! – yells Isabell to Morana
-Isabell! – reminds her Grimhilde that she can't confront her
Auretta looks outside and watches how the guards are destroying her work. Suddenly she sees among them her... it's Snow. She is sitting on her horse. She must have notice them in the window because she looks up them and watches in Auretta's eyes. Snow smiles sarcastically as she knows the luck is on her side this time.
