I nod as I stand. "Of course Princess... if you need anything just call me," I say with a bow before turning to leave. She said I was perfect... except she doesn't seem like she thinks that really. I just get this feeling... maybe she likes someone else... maybe she doesnt want an arranged marriage because she's totally head over heels for someone from this country already.
God I hope not.
"Goodnight princess"
And then I quickly leave before I'm tempted to do something stupid like kiss her cheek.

Occ: I'm sorry to say that I got a PM from Flamehair saying that she is afraid she doesn't have time to play Liz anymore. I told her that we would miss her but we understood. If it's ok with everyone, I guess I'll just keep playing her. Unless someone else would like to.

I sit in my office, staring at the list in front of me, wondering what I'm going to do about everything. First thing this morning, I went to visit the doctor and I didn't exactly get good news. Apparently, I have a Cajoran hap worm that I picked up from being out in the woods in one of the battles. There is no telling exactly how long it has been there but it is apparently causing problems in my personality, which I was told will only get worse if they can't find something to get rid of it quickly. I don't understand exactly all of that medical mumbo jumbo but I did understand when he said it couldn't just be operated on. Apparently, that would kill me right away. So he is working on another way. I once again swore him to secrecy.
The problem is that now I don't trust myself and my judgement. Is being loving and patient and trying to win over people that way the way to go or am I supposed to be stronger, firmer, more stern? I don't know. Unfortunately, I still have a kingdom to run, a wife to protect and love, a son to try to train in secret. This parasite will eventually make me go mad before killing me and unless Vilandra is pregnant now, Nickolas will be my heir. I sigh and rub my eyes as I stare without seeing at the evidence that was brought to me this morning against Moxon. I took Lonnie's words to mind and had my personal guards search Moxon's home and transport, not allowing Nickolas near either so that he could not interfere.
The evidence was overwhelming. There was a journal in Moxon's handwriting with multiple entries about how much he was in love with the queen and how I did not deserve her or to be king. The entries went on and on, eventually detailing the outlines of a plot to take over my throne and to marry Vilandra himself. His wife was devastated. She didn't believe it at first...until we found the, for lack of a better term, shrine to Vilandra in his personal study that she was not allowed to enter.
Moxon is still in the keeps below and I have to make a decision as to what to do.

I awaken to a rainey day and don't feel so bad about having to stay off my ankle since it doesn't look like I'd be able to go outside anyway. I ring for my maid to help me bathe and dress. I smile at the sight of Shasta eyeing the birdcage. "Don't even think about it, Shasta," I tell her. She blinks at me innocently and I laugh at her. "Yes you were. Don't even pretend otherwise."
Rose comes in and helps me to the bathroom. "I believe that Princess Elizabeth is already dressed, milady, and is awaiting you for breakfast with Prince Alexander in the informal dining room."
I nod at her. "Thanks, Rose. Let's not keep them waiting too long. I must have slept late due to the rain."
~LIZ~
I woke up early for some reason this morning. I feel an excitement in the air and I don't really know why. Maybe it has something to do with the two men that arrived here yesterday. I sigh at the thought of the audiences that I'm supposed to be holding with Alex today. We usually hear some of the problems or comments of the people once a week. Sometimes it's just receiving gifts, other times settling small disputes. Father just has so much on his plate that we help out when and where we can. I just don't feel like doing it today. Maybe it will give something good for Max and Michael to report to my future husband though.
I came to a realization last night as I tried to sleep that I was deeply attracted to Max and I need to squash that immediately. Nothing good can come of it. I have a duty and responsibility to my people and the people of Antar, my family and yes, even to myself. I have to remember my place just as everyone else has theirs. I was born to privilege and with such privilege comes certain responsibilities. I know that.

The next morning when I awaken part of me hopes it was all a bad dream but when I try to open my door,sure enough it refused to budge.I felt like kicking the door but that would be of no use,other than giving me hurt toes and the guards a good laugh at my expense.Briefly I wonder if Kivar is awake but put it out of my mind.Of course he will be,he always wakes up before me.
It strikes me that I should perhaps pack a few essentials,just in case Tess does manage to come up with a plan to get me out of the palace and off Taggora.Always good to be prepared.Hurrying in to my closet I hastily throw my underwear and some jewellery my mother gave me before my wedding and a few dresses together in to a small case,shoving it under my bed when I'm done.
I can't quite put a finger on the feelings coursing through me.I dont' want to get my hopes up just yet but it's hard not to hope but I'm afraid at the same time.If Kivar finds out,I shudder to think of what he might do to me.After a quick bathing,I simply pace my room,with nothing else to do,but wait for Tess.Reading is useless I can't concentrate on anything.
My breakfast hasn't been brought to me,I just hope that,that doesn't mean that Kivar is coming to eat with me because I'm not sure how good of an actress I can be.Going and standing on my balcony that overlooks the garden I remember few days ago how Kivar had promised me so many things and inspite of myself I get a little misty eyed.My marriage is a failure.

"Your majesty, the breakfast table you requested is ready and outside the queen's chambers," one of the maids informs me. "Oh, and this came for you this morning." She hands me an envelope and I open it quickly. I frown slightly at the message inside it. It is from one of my men on Antar. It seems that Prince Xan has not been seen in the palace for several days. He is investigating it and will let me know what he finds out. This is the sort of information that I would have jumped on...now...now I'm not sure what to do with it.
Sighing, I put the note in my desk and lock it up. Making my way down the hall, I stand outside of Vilandra's room and ask the guard for the key. I unlock the door but do not open it. Instead, I knock and wait for her response.

I hear a knock and step back in to the room,wondering who it could be.Kivar certainely wouldn't knock.It must be Tess or one of my ladies.Going towards it swiftly I neary yank it open,a smile ready on my face but when I see Kivar it freezes and I turn away,leaving it open for him to enter but not before I notice the portable breakfast table besides him.So my guess what right.
"Have you come to check on me?See whether I am obeying your orders?" I ask somewhat bitterly "Don't worry,I have been a very good girl."
I go and stand on the balcony resting my hands on the railing,"And I'm not hungry." I add even though I'm starving,not having eaten at all last night.

I wake up after a fitful nights sleep... to remember all my dreams had been about her.
And yet from her reaction I have this feeling she's already in love with someone. And that guy isnt "Max" or "Zan". And I'm meant to marrying her. When she loves someone else.
This blows.
I sigh as I get up and wash before going next door and knocking on Michael's door.
"Hey sleepy head, you up yet?"

I sigh as I enter her room, pushing the table in front of me. "You have to eat, Vilandra," I tell her matter-of-factly. I close the door behind me and pull out the key. Going over to her on the balcony, I hold my closed hand out to her. "Here, Lonnie, take this," I tell her holding the key out to her. I know that she must hear my tone of sadness but I can't help how I feel. I don't want her upset with me, but I can't take chances with our safety...with her safety and unfortunately, I was right about Moxon, not wrong.

"You have to eat, Vilandra,"
I suppose he is going to force me to do that as well.
"Here, Lonnie, take this,"
I turn and see him holding out my room's key in his palm and I look at him for a second to see if he's just playing with me but he seems serious so I reach out and pluck it out of his palm,not really wanting to touch him.My nails barely graze his skin.
"Thank you!" I say quietly
Stepping past him I go and sit down at the table,"Thank you for bringing breakfast,you don't have stay though,I knowyou must be busy.I can eat by myself."

I turn around and follow her anyway and sit across from her at the table. "Vilandra, I gave you that key as a symbol of your freedom. I was thinking about what happened last night and even though it was for your own protection, there were other ways to go about that other than locking you in your room. I'm sorry. I gave you that key so that you would believe me when I say that I will not do that again."
I take a deep breath before continuing. "Besides, the threat against you...against us has been contained for now. Lord Moxon will stand trial for treason as soon as I can arrange it. I hate to have to tell you that irrefutable evidence was found in his home as to his intentions. Nickolas was not allowed near there just to prove to you that he has nothing to do with this. My guards found the evidence and brought it to me."
Watching her for a moment, something feels off somehow. I can't quite put my finger on what it might be but something is definitely off. I don't mean just her attitude toward me, although that's hard to take after our few days of closeness. Putting the feeling at the back of my mind, I cover her hand with mine. "Lonnie, please say you'll forgive me. I know that I raised my hand to you yesterday but I didn't strike you. Does that not count for something? I am changing and I'm trying to so hard but it takes time. I can't stand this rift between us. Think over the past few days how happy we've been! I'm sorry about the way I went about it yesterday but I have to protect you, because the thought of something happening to you is just unacceptable. I'm giving you your freedom to come and go as you please but remember that the only way I can protect you is if you place yourself and keep yourself in my care. I'm hoping we can put all this unpleasant business behind us and start planning that trip to Valentia. Won't that be fun? I think it will be good for us."
I know that I'm running on a bit but I need her to understand.

His news about Moxon shocks me at first but then I think about it.If Nicholas wanted to,he could have easily have planted the evidence before Kivar had sent his men to search Moxon's mansion.I wouold never put it past him to think ahead.SO him not being present duriong the search means nothing to me and I will never believe that Moxon intended to harm us,in any way.My heart goes out to that innocent man and his family.
But I have to pretend.Tess told me to pretend that I had forgiven him so I must do that in order to calm him down and fool him in to an easy state of mind concerning me and our relationship.Looking at him,I nod my head,"I have to be honest with you Kivar...when you raised your hand I was horrified and just the fact that you didn't hit me doesn't negate it.It means that you can still be violent with me and I'm not sure if I am strong enough to take that anymore.I can't be scared and nervous if we are going to try and make a family."
