THE ROYAL PALACE
Queen Rose was in her study going through the new set or rules and orders .
She had specifically requested for all the laws that had been passed since she was out of power.
Now that she had returned she was going through them and pin pointing what she was comfortable with and what she wasn't.
She massaged her brows as the fire burned hard over her papers.
"Rose."
She looked up and saw Hildegard, her best friend and personal hand maiden.
Hildegard did not refer to her by her title.
They had gotten so close and used to each other that they saw each other as equal women.
The last time she had called her by her title since they were children was when Rose had decided that her sister Cherry come and Join them in the castle.
Hildegard had been so vehemently against it, but Rose was certain that she would come around.
And she did, but they both a maintained distance.
"It's late." Hildegard complained. "You should be resting."
