Queen Theresa is 3 months pregnant when King Richard released the news to the whole kingdom. Nearly everyone in the kingdom came to the castles court year to hear the big announcement. There notices all over the kingdom to let the citizens know to come to the castle for a royal announcement from the King and Queen. There where town criers that also announced it for those who could not read. Standing on the large balcony attached to the Kings office or war room what Anna liked to call was the King standing at the edge looking down at his citizens, behind him was his Queen holding onto Anna's hand very tightly. Anna could see she was very nervous being see by all of these people plus she looked so pale and her eyes where so black that even the powder the French uses wont fix it. Anna placed her left hand on top of Theresa hand as she had started to tremble. "It will be okay" Anna said in a sweet voice, she looked around and noticed Claude was in the room by the door. "It's a little agents the rules but I will give you some of my energy to help you stand" Anna whispered while looking at Claude. Theresa's eyes went wide "What?"Theresa started to feel a warm tingling sensation go through her hands and made its way through her whole body, she started to feel like she had energy that she could run through the fields like she did at home. Anna sighed in relief that Claude did not catch on to what she did and smiled at Theresa. "This energy will last you for the whole day" Anna giggled as Theresa looked at her with wonder. Anna noticed Theresa's face started to have color to it and the black under eyes subsided. "Thank you" Theresa said is a small sweet voice. Anna nodded to her and looked back to Claude. "Oh my breaking the rules are we" Life giggled in her head. Anna rolled her eyes "oh shush" she replied back in her head. After some silence of Anna watching Claude "sister you are staring" Life chuckled in Anna's head. Anna grumbled and looked towards the crowd of people. "I thought you like bad boys" Life joked. Anna sighed "so I like the demon look so impale me" Anna joked back. "but to be honest Claude is giving off a bad vibe" Anna continued. "I agree but it's not like a demon vibe ether" Life sighed. Anna did not notice Theresa was watching her as she spoke to her sister till she spoke "Anna are you okay your face keeps changing and you are laughing to yourself." Anna looked at her sheepish and laughed "sorry I was talking to my sister" she said in a low voice and winked. This made Theresa laugh then she was interrupted by King Richard clearing his throat. This made them both snap there heads back to the King.
"My beloved citizens" King Richard started in a loud voice, the words made Anna roll her eyes knowing what was going on in his Kingdom. "Today is a day to celebrate my wife your Queen" he continued and turned to reach out his hand to Theresa to gesture her to come forward. When Theresa came forward there was a huge cheer from the crowd, this made her jump a little but a bright smile was on her face. Anna smiled behind her to feel relieved she was so loved by the people. King Richard lifted his hands up to silence his people "thank you for your love and as I like to announce Queen Theresa is going to have a next hair to the thrown in the up and coming winter." There was silents for a moment then everyone cheered louder then before and this made Theresa cry a little not knowing if it was her hormones or she truly felt the love of the people. Anna felt the air feel with everyone hopes and happy emotions, she has not felt this feeling in a very long time not since her nephew. She turned to Claude and saw he was feeling uncomfortable this made her eyebrow rise, being an angle he should be enjoying the positive feeling they feed of the positive feelings. Once again King Richard raised his hand to the crowd and they went silent. "Thank you again for the love and support of my wife" his voice sounded so proud. "Today is a day to celebrate to go and party" he finished off he grabbed Theresa hand and walked Anna and Claude and left the room. Anna looked back to the crowd and smiled while Claude just glared in disgust.
When Anna finally got back to her room Theresa and King Richard was there waiting for her, with a surprised look Anna bowed to the royal couple. King Richard smiled and gave his wife a kiss on the cheek "I have to finish organizing the party for tonight, I will leave you with Lady Anna so you both can get ready for the party" King Richard said with a pure smile. Anna saw his smile and knew he was truly happy for the first time she was at the castle the King was feeling pure happiness. King Richard gave Theresa's hand one last squeeze and started to walk towards the door, when he reached Anna he placed his hand on her shoulder and looked her in her eyes. "Thank you I don't know what you did but she has color in her face and she looks like she has energy to run" King Richard said as he looked back at Theresa. Anna smiled at him and shook her head "I just gave her some of my energy." King Richard looked at her with his eyebrows raised "you what?" Anna giggled a little and placed her index finger to her lips and winked "it's a witches trick a little will give her energy for the day but to much can be fatal." King Richard hummed to her answer and gave a little nod then walked out of the room humming to himself. Anna just giggled "such an innocent soul." Theresa looked at Anna questionably and Anna notice "everyone has an innocent soul if they allow it to stay innocent its up to them." Theresa looked up like she was pondering on what Anna said and gave a big smile like she understood. With a giggle she walked to Anna's wardrobe and opened it up "you never been to a party have you?" she said while looking at Anna's clothes. Anna shook her head for the first time Anna felt so nervous and it was because she never been to a party she has never been invited, in truth this is the most Anna spent with humans. Theresa smiled and looked back into the clothes "you need something to wear but I can't find any thing for a party." Anna thought for a moment then she gave a smile she looked down at her green dress and the dress started to change. Theresa stood there with her mouth wide open as she saw Anna's dress started to change color into midnight blue and the material turned to silk there where golden butterflies appearing on the fabric and looked like they where fluttering all around till they stopped spread out on the dress. Anna's hair also changed to where it platted and hung low past her hips and she had flowers weaved into her hair. Anna looked to Theresa and smiled "would this be suitable?" Theresa was still in awe after watching her change "you look beautiful like a goddess of night." Anna giggled at her "I am a goddess of night in a way." They both laughed and Anna help Theresa get ready.
When the party started King Richard and Claude came to escort Anna and Theresa to the party, when they both walked in they both stood there with amazement at Anna'a dress. "You look amazing Lady Anna" King Richard said and walked up to Theresa. Anna smiled at the comment and gave a bow "thank you your majesty." Claude was still staring and then looked away blushing when Anna looked up at him. King Richard extend his arm to Theresa "my dear." Theresa smiled while placing her arm in his, she was wearing a sky blue silk dress that had gold timings and she wear her crown with her golden bold hair in a big bun. When the two walked out the room Claude and Anna followed, Claude walked next to Anna with a pouty face and his cheeks still with a light color of pink. When they entered the ball room the head of the staff announced the arrival of the King and Queen, then the music began and people started to dance. There where long tables around the edge of the room where people would sit for food and drinks. The musicians sat in the far corner playing while the servants place food on the tables and fill peoples cups up with wine. The king and the Queen sat at the royal table Anna sat to Theresa left where Claude sat at King Richards right. Everyone came up to the royal table and bowed then resumed to what they where doing, some even talked to King Richard about how great the party. Anna rolled her eyes at these people they all just agreed to be in King Richards favor, they where laying it out thick. Anna looked over to Claude she could tell he thought the same. After while King Richard asked Theresa to dance "I don't know how to dance" she said shyly. "That's okay just follow my lead I will make it simple" he giggled and pulled her onto the center of the dance floor. The crowd stop to watch as the music started they started to dance Anna notice King Richard did make it a simple waltz so Theresa could keep up, Anna could help but smile and then everyone join in the dance. Claude then stood up and walked over to Anna "you seem happy." Anna's mood instantly changed "well it's not like you can get a change to live in the mortal world" she said sarcastically. Claude just smirked at her "well you seem to be enjoying yourself but it wont last for long" he said looking up to Theresa. Anna knew this she has finally made a friend after her time in the mortal world and she will be gone in a flash of an eye. "Don't get to attached it would be harder to say good bye" Claude continue rubbing his hand through his hair. Anna looked shocked at him, he sounded concerned for once and this made Anna nervous. After a few seconds of silence Claude put his stone face back on "well if you excuse me" he said as he did a slight bow and left. Anna sat there thinking about what just happened 'how long has he been here?' she thought to herself. After a few minutes of pondering she quickly stood up and went to hide in the shadows on the balcony near by "it's safe Geff" she said. After that Geff appeared in front of her with a worried look. "Lady Death I do apologies for disturbing your fun" Geff started to say and stopped he started to blush at the sight of her. "I have some really bad news another soul was stolen, however we think the one who killed the person took the soul with them" Geff continued. Anna's face grew dark her eyes started to glow violet "I WANT YOU TO SEND OUT SCOUT FIND THE SOUL THIEF AND CAPTURE THEM" Anna yelled. Geff jumped back at her voice and looked at the party nervous. With a sigh of relief that no one heard her returned his attention to Anna "yes my Lady it happened in this kingdom so please be careful" Geff said with a bow and left. Life then replaced Geff spot "calm down sister you can easily create ciaos" Life said hugging her sister. Anna felt her sisters warmth and took a deep breath "so much ciaos is started already." Life just nodded and hugged Anna tighter after awhile Anna returned to the party but she could not bring herself to enjoy it.
