Alexandra laughed Juliet then asked him "why are you laughing"Alexandra replied " I knew someone would try to kill I took that that risk when accepting this job do you have any new information "I know just as much as you Juliet said in a angry tone " Juliet then screamed guards guards when they finally arrived she said the king said everything I needed to treat the patient will be given to me I need a purple rose it's deep in the woods the guard replied that's a very rare rose it will take me three days to bring that to you "bring it to me as soon as possible "Juliet said "you need to relax Juliet no need to take it out on the guard " Alexandra said " I can't if you die it will cause a war many people will die I can't let that happen "those people's lives aren't your burden to carry " Alexandra said "so you don't care about any of them do you don't you have a family someone you want to protect " Juliet asked "no my family is dead to me "Alexandra answered "I'm sorry Juliet said realizing what she just said " it's ok " Alexandra replied " you are a soldier aren't you " Juliet said " how did you know ."you're wounds are the wounds of a soldier "Juliet replied "I take it one of you're loved ones is a soldier . Alexandra said  "was "Juliet said in an upset tone "sorry Alexandra said " nothing to apologize about " Juliet said " so did you hear tonight there is a ball" yes " Juliet was interrupted by someone i a large cape hiding their complete figure who are you Juliet asked " the person took off their cape and revealed themselves  it was Sophia "  what are you doing here it's dangerous leave at once "Juliet said "no I'm not leaving till you tell me what happened . "Sophia said "there is no time but Sophia you must go to the ball if you don't the king will suspect you are up to something ."Juliet said "

Later that night

Sophia did not want to go as she was too upset but went because she promised Juliet tonight the crown prince would be at the ball but Sophia didn't care she went to the balcony and stared at the moon meanwhile the prince was at the dance he didn't want to be there he didn't want to talk to anyone he just couldn't dance tonight he wasn't in the mood he headed to the balcony but saw someone was already there she was a beautiful woman with emerald eyes wearing a beautiful red dress she had beautiful long brunette hair he wanted to talk to her but he knew that once she found out who he was she would treat him differently so he decided to keep a secret for now at least hello there you look upset why aren't you dancing  telling you my troubles would not help me nor put my burden off of my back nor make me sigh a sigh of relief I'm sorry but I cannot tell you but I know that you are upset you are trying to keep a happy face I don't know what it is but let me tell you this the moon coming up at night nor the sun setting is you're burden to carry the rest of your duties are nothing compared to that ."Sophia said" the prince never had anyone understand him as well as this stranger he had to find out who she is "I've never met anyone speak such wise words as you "prince Francis said "maybe if you talked to every stranger you met you'd be surprised  anyway I must take my leave excuse you're highness and she left " the prince couldn't hid the shock on his face she knew who he was yet talked so openly he had to find out who she is he just had to.

3 days later

The guard finally came with the rose here Sophia put it in boiling water then gave it to Alexandra he slowly started to feel better thank you Juliet I've never been treated with such kindness whatever I do I can never repay you no thanks needed I did it to prevent a war the cage Juliet was being held in started to open it was the king he came as soon as he found out Alexandra was feeling better "you were right you saved this country from war  you both are free to go but seeing as someone was poisoned in the castle without my knowledge I can't trust anyone but you you have gained my trust so you are now the court physician everything Juliet ever wanted became true but she was upset she might never see Alexandra again what are these feelings that are growing inside her
