Back at the Castle…
Queen Beat of Angels stood out on the balcony with a light breeze as she held her daughter Katara. “See, my darling…you and your brother shall inherit the kingdom. From here we over look the market where people hustle and bustle getting groceries, once in a while we’d get a friendly wave from the citizens.” She giggled, smiling to the little 3 year old boy holding his father’s hand, waving to them. She gently brought Katara up to her face, facing the little boy, using her arm to wave hello, then kisses Katara’s cheek, smiling. “Hiii…!”
“Queen Beat of Angels!!” Darcia called out to her from inside the royal bedroom. “You’ve got a guest. It’s the Romeo the Lord of Earth with the Duchess Juliet.” “Ahh, yes, see them in Darcia. We mustn’t keep them waiting; tell them I shall be out in a moment.” “Yes your highness.” Darcia bowed in respect before quickly dashing off to tend to them.
Katara and Queen Beat of Angels took one last look at the people below, before turning away and going into the bedroom. “Now, mommy has to go and handle with the Duke and Duchess.” She smiles a sweet smile at her child, before putting her in the crib to sleep with her brother, Prince Zuko. She sighs. “How lucky you two are. I wish I could sleep as well as you both do. But foreign affairs and your father keep me up most of the night.” Her cheeks flush a shade of red after thinking about her husband. “I miss him dearly though… your father is a great man.” The Queen quickly changed into a long beautiful white gown with gold silk outlining the bottom of the dress, her hair loose and wavy. She put on her crown, and applied a soft rose madder color to her lips, a glittering gold color upon her eye lids, with jet black eye liner. She glances in the mirror, smiling at how beautiful she is, and gracefully walking out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her as the guards stood in front of the door to make sure nothing and no one enters. On her way to the guest lobby to greet Lord Romeo and the Duchess Juliet, she felt a weak wave of power call to her, but kept walking ignoring it.
“Presenting her majesty, Queen Beat of Angels!” The small servant boy said just before she entered the room. Entering the room, the Duke and Duchess stand up and bow slightly to her, she curtsies to them. “Juliet, Romeo. To what honor I have of the Earth Kingdom’s Duke and Duchess blessing me with this visit?” said Queen Beat of Angels as they all took a seat. “We’re here representing their majesties, King Micchi the II and Queen Jennifer. They could not come today due to her majesty going into labor.” Replied Romeo. “Ahh, yes, I see. What is she expecting?” asked Queen Beat of Angels. “She is expected to have a baby girl. She will be naming her Mahuru.” “Meaning goddess of spring if I’m not mistaken. Beautiful name.” She nodded in agreement.
After a couple hours of discussing the conflicts that have been happening over the past 50 years, finally coming up with a bargain Queen Beat of Angels proposes, “I propose, I shall go and find out myself just what is going on. Discussing and making bargains with this Balthazar demon isn’t working anymore.” “But you majesty! What about your life?! And your children?!” the Duchess Juliet couldn’t help, but stand up in disagreement and outrage. “They’ll be fine; Darcia shall have watch of them with my husband.” “I don’t think that is a good idea, he is the King of Hell after all, I mean not to be rude and disrespectful, but what happens if he hurts or maybe even kills the children?” says Romeo in a concerned, but low voice. “He wouldn’t harm them; he’d protect them with his life. And besides, he is their father.” She said nodding. A gasp escapees Romeo and Juliet’s lips, in shock. “What?” She asked innocently and confused. “The Princess and Prince of Hell had children together? A NOBLE ANGEL LIKE YOU!! WITH A DEVIL LIKE HIM?! THIS IS UNHEARD OF!! ” they both shouted in anguish at Queen Beat of Angels. “I beg your pardon, but I will not be having you disrespecting me or my husband in my own kingdom. Like you two should be talking? You’re families hated each other, and still do might I remind you. They only put on a pretty smile and attitude when you two walk into the room because of your status, the people you know, and the money you have. I think it is time for you both to leave. I will not have anyone insult my husband in front of me like that.” She waved to Darcia as he left to get a pair of castle guards and escort them out of the kingdom. “You’re both lucky my husband isn’t here. If he was there would be no mercy for you both. You’d be at Laboratory 5 right now.” Queen Beat of Angels said as she gracefully floated out of the room, and turned the corner where she angrily wept for a few moments over what they said about her husband and her.
