Auretta sits under her beloved apple tree and thinks about her aunt's death.
-Andrew is right, Isabell had to die by someone else. No way she just jump out of her own window, why would she do this?
-You right you know! - she hears a familiar sound from her back.
-Elizabeth! Please, sit down next to me! I need to talk to you.
-And I need to talk to you!
-Can I start?
-I'm listening!
-Elizabeth! I know I said this before, but I feel like if I won't clear it out for sure I will lose more loved one. S0 please, forgive me! You were there for me when I needed, and you loved me like a mother, you proved yourself a couple of time now that you want the best for me. It's just you know... I don't understand, why?! And after I felt betrayed I just couldn't believe that this kind of love exist, and i'm so - so sorry! I hope you won't leave me, and you give me one more chance. You all I got, Elizabeth! I lost my aunt, my mother, you are the only one who can give me that kind of love.
-Oh, sweetheart! When you said all those things to me, it hurt, and I was thinking about leaving you, because I want you to be happy, but the moment I got my mind clear, I knew you need me, and I still have place in your heart! So no, I won't leave you, as long as you need be I will be here for you, and I will love you, even if right now you don't understand my reasons! Actually you don't even have to know the reasons! Just take my love, and be happy! That's all I need to say about this!
-Thank you! - Auretta answers as she hugs Grimhilde, and tries to hold on her, to mourn her just lost aunt. - It's your turn! What did you want to tell me?
-It's connected to Isabell's death! We discovered something, but we couldn't tell tell you until we got the results, because you wouldn't believe us, but when we got it, the person who was the problem killed her.
-What is that secret? You should have been trust me! That way this would never happen!
-Wouldn't it? Let me explain then. Remember your first date with Andrew?
-Of course! How could Im forget? That nice romantic picnic we had.
-Well Morana poisoned the apple pie with a deadly potion, me and Isabell found out and managed to save both of you successfully, but we couldn't say a world to you because you were so protective! Everyone warned you that Morana is in love with Andrew, and you didn't listen us, you protected her like no one else, so we had to have a proof against her. That day when Isabell got attacked and you and Andrew saved her, she was out to deliver the poison to the pharmacist, and that day when she died we got the results, which showed us that one drop of this poison kill you in the most horrible way, you suffer from pain before you die. Isabell hid the results in her room, after you went to your first official political meeting, me and Andrew went for a walk, I tried to convince him to stay until we show the results, when we found Isabell together that's when we arrived from our walk.
-Andrew knew about the poison?
-Yes! He helped us in everything, we, three tried to get Morana out from here, she is evil, we saw her with Snow White in here, trying to get magic from the three. We thought they working together the whole time, we wanted to show you with proof, but it was too late!
-This is all my fault! I should have just listen to all of you!
-No it's not! You were desperate to have a blood relative, a family! You were played dear! You can't feel responsible for all this! It was her who killed, and tried to murder you too.
-Now I know who is my real family! It's Isabell, you and Andrew! I was so stupid! - she says as she cries and smiles to Grimhilde. - Thank you for being here for me and loving me! You all I need!
-Aren't you forget something?
-What?
-Try who! Andrew? He never cheated on you, actually, quite the opposite, he tried to get out Morana!
-You are right! I will take care of Morana later! I need to talk with him first! - she says as she stands up happily, but she turns back to Grimhilde for a moment - You were right you know! My mother would never want me to turn dark and be just like Snow! I promise you, I will never be so ungrateful and evil to you or anyone in this realm, unfortunately I can't promise the same for Morana and Snow! They took my mother and my aunt, they will pay for this! But I will do it in the right way!
Grimhilde smiles at her and watches how she runs into the castle to find Andrew.
*****Andrew sits in his room thinking of Isabell, he can't get enough of the thought that Morana killed her, and made Auretta sufferable.
Suddenly the door opens and Auretta runs in. Andrew on that moment starts to afraid what should have happened that Auretta acts like this.
-Auretta, what's wrong? - he asks but in that moment Auretta kisses him without saying anything. Andrew finally feels what he missed so much: the women who he loves in his arms, just belongs to him, the time stops, and nothing else existing jut them, as they give themselves to love.
After a long passionate kiss Auretta lets him go and looks at him with love in her eyes.
-What was that? - asks Andrew smilingly.
-Elizabeth told me everything! I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you! I was so stupid!
-Yeah, you were! - answers to her jokingly, Auretta looks at him a little pissed off, so he decides he puts it to more formal way - Your majesty! - Auretta starts to laugh and gently hits his arm.
- Can you forgive me Andrew, can you give us an other chance?
-Hmm.. what can you offer? - he says as he pulls her closer.
-I'm a queen! I can kick your brother's ass!
-Fair enough! - he laughs and kisses Auretta again. Finally they feel that all they needed in their life is pure love, respect and unity, and that's exactly what they have.

Morana sits in Grimhilde's old room, she wanted some alone time to figure out how she going to defeat her own mother, and the only room no one dare to disturb is the past queen's room, which remained the same as Grimhilde left it.
-I wish i could have a clue how to safe Grimhilde and Auretta!
As she said these world's out the mirror near to her started to glow in blue light. She slowly stands up and goes closer to the mirror and tries to investigate it. As the blue glow starts disappear a face appears in it.
-What are you?
-What a question! Be more respectful! I'm the magic mirror, who was broken by Snow white and saved by Queen Grimhilde! I didn't have a company for a long time! And as I heard my queens name I had to appear! Do you really want to save her?
-Yes! I meant every world! I want to stop my mother!
-Then you have to act fast, because Snow plans a horrible act!
-What is it? I can stop her.. I can help! Tell me please how!
-You just need a simple little rime and I'm in your help! Just say: Mirror, mirror on the wall, show me the most wicked creature of them all!
Morana hesitates for a moment then agrees:
-Mirror, mirror on the wall, show me the most wicked creature of them all!
The mirror starts to glow again in blue and the next thing what Morana sees is her own mother with her father, as they speak in their room.
-You must calm down, this is not the way! You lost your crown and now you want to make the subject hate you more?
-I don't care James, I don't care anything from now on! I kill this little throne stealer, stupid girl! If you won't help me James, stay out of my way! - she says as she goes out to the tables - Bring my horse! I have a business to do!
The mirror glows again and the picture disappears.
-No! I have to stop her, no matter in what cost! Don't worry magic mirror, I keep my word! I will protect Grimhilde and Auretta, no matter what! I don't let her to destroy them as she destroyed me and Isabell! I shell stop my mother, even if it is the last thing I do!
