For the next few weeks, Beleth visited Beatrice in her dreams. At first, she was uncomfortable with it, but soon realized he was the only thing that made her feel safe and happy. He always made her dreams feel better than her current reality, which at the moment was a little more than bleak. William had disappeared into his wing of the castle, while Clancy had to continue to report Beatrice's progress to the Archbishop, all the while working on a plan to locate her sister and get her out of harm's way. On the outside, she was an expectant mother, who was having a very complicated pregnancy.
On the inside, she was terrified. Terrified that her child would be harmed or worse...taken away. She wanted this child more than she had wanted the Crown. A thing she did not care to admit. In her younger years, she had been too ill to be surrounded by family.Her father King Leopold and her mother Queen Beatrice Elizabeth were loved by everyone.
