Urena kneeling down and meeting her at eye level, “Your highness you are the last and sole survivor of the royal bloodline. Unfortunately, due to the untimely deaths of the queen your mother and your sister you are next in succession to the throne your life is at risk!”

Alice looking directly at Urena is desperately trying to fathom the information being told to her.

“It is an honor bestowed upon me to protect, serve you faithfully, and pledge my undying loyalty to you, Queen Alice the rightful and true heir of Lesbiannicus,”she says bowing before her once again. Hearing the title of queen before her name she became overwhelmed with emotion.

“Queen! I am nothing of the sorts that title is held by mother!”

“I meant no disrespect my apologies as I have choose the incorrect words to speak.”

“This has to be some sort of dream.”

“I’m afraid not your highness those responsible for the deaths of your mother and sisters will search until they find and kill you if there is any hope of preserving the bloodline and the royal legacy of Lesbiannicus it starts and begins with you.” Urena standing to her feet whistles hearing the sound her horse appears. Sheathing her sword Urena mounts her horse reaching out her left arm for Alice to grab hold of it but she hesitates. “Your majesty, please I beg———-, “she says before she is cutoff.

“Your majesty? You called me your majesty?”

“Again, I do not speak in contempt I know the news I bare weighs heavy on the heart however truth whether you choose to acknowledge it or not you are now a queen. So much time has been wasted please take my hand we must leave at once!”

Taking a deep breath Alice grabs her arm and is swung over to back of the horse once she got comfortable wrapping her arms around Urenas waist for support. Grabbing the reigns Urena gives the horse a soft tap with her legs signaling the horse to begin a gentle canter. As the horse begins to gallop away Alice turned her head taking one last glance at her home. Quickly turning her head back around she slowly cries to herself. As the horse relaxes comfortably with the speed of the stride Urena taps the horse more forcefully signaling a full out gallop. The horse in response opens up running at full speed carrying both Urena and Alice in the opposite direction to safety.
