Celeste’s time with the guard was cut short by the appearance of her father. She was disappointed, she had planned a series of clever questions to test Agent Barlena in her own way. She didn’t let the emotion show in her face, the only sign of was a notable twitch of her silver ears. She continued to smile, complacent and obedient as she took a seat in one of the highbacked chair in front of her mother’s desk.
Julianna was the last to arrive. She breezed into the office with a regal air as the two guards posted outside opened the door for her, announcing her entrance. Like Celeste, she had changed as well. She wore a rich, Hunter green gown with a tailored bodice embroidered with tiny dark pearls and a skirt that flared from her hips. It would certainly come as a surprise to her husband and daughter that she hadn’t worn a cape. She was however adorned with sparkling emerald jewelry; a delicate, but ornate coronet was pinned perfectly to the crown of her head.
Surprise briefly crossed her face to find her office already full. “I apologize for the delay,” she said automatically. Celeste turned in her chair to watch her mother. She never tired of seeing her this way. Julianna’s transformation from wife and mother to queen was almost like a switch being flipped. She was magnificent, with her head high like the weight of the crown didn’t bother her.
Celeste knew her mother strived to keep the monarchy out of their familial life, but that wasn’t always possible. Sometimes the burden of it kept her head down in private times. Sometimes, her parents argued in this very office.
“Certainly, my husband has gone over the parameters of your position here?” Julianna asked, Celeste still observing her as her mother was quickly brought to speed.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
