Victoria was woken up by a maid. "Miss, the messenger has come, with the black armband." the maid told her. Victoria looked at the maid, surprised. "But surely this cannot be true? Papa was away on a simple business trip, nothing more." she said, gaping in disbelief as tears stung her eyes. Victoria knew what this meant. Her father was dead. But she knew what her father's death meant as well. She was to be queen. It is said that the speed of light is that fastest speed there is, but that isn't true. The darkness always gets there first, and is waiting for it. "Who else has been alerted?" Victoria asked. "You went the last to know, my lady." the maid said. "But surely I, as the heir to the throne, should have been told first?" she asked. "Well, there is much to prepare, you need to choose an advisor and your personal attendant and need to arrange the coronation ball and the coronation and all that, among other things, and the castle has been preparing." the maid told her. Victoria sat up and pulled on her dressing gown. "Well, I shall be wanting to make a start, I suppose." Victoria said, walking out into the great hall, where many others were already gathered and waiting.

(Crap start, I know, but bear with me.)

Xavier was in a panic, running down hall after hall. No matter how long he's lived here, he still gets lost. Tori might be crying for all he knew and he needed to be by her side. "Excuse me." He tapped the shoulder of and older man that held a tray in his hand. Butler, seems to fit. "Where may I find the queen's room?" His eyes widened. Another one of those looks. Xavier got that look a lot. A man asking where the room of the queen is, how disgusting. He mocked everyone in his head. "Xavier Burne." The Butlers face turned to a smile immediately after the name was said. "Down the hall to your left. It should be straight down from there." Xavier gave him a polite bow, before jetting off again. It was rude to knock on the queen's door, unless you are a servant of hers. That's what he was told at least. It shouldn't take to long for her to leave her room, and when she did he would be right there with arms open.

Victoria exited the room to bump into none other than Xavier. "I'm sorry, this is very unladylike of me. I'm hardly in a presentable state." she croaked, her eyes red and swollen from crying and her hair unkempt.

Andion hurried round the garrison, giving his men orders for where to be and what to do. The king was dead, meaning her highness was going to be taking the role as queen. She was only young, Andion knew that which meant he was going to station extra guards around the palace to keep her from harm.

That didn't matter at all to him. He's seen her when she was a crying snot nosed kid, this was a step up. "Tori." He said softly. He couldn't make up for her dad, now that the King was gone Xavier would do everything in his power to protect her. He bowed, before pulling her into a hug. Gently he patted her head, as he did when they were kids. "I'm here." He didn't know if this would help at all, he would do anything to make her feel safe and smile.

"I'm…. it's just…. don't take this the wrong way, but you look like hell." Victoria gave a small giggle, despite the tears streaming down her face.

Elliot ran to Victoria’s room “Vic!” He said seeing her

"H-hey Elliot." she said quietly.

Andion sighed and waved away a few guards that came to talk to him. He didn’t want to bother Victoria but knew he would have to see her eventually.

William was in his room brushing his outfit and looking at himself in the mirror with a grin, "Father will be pleased when he'll hear what I've accomplished…" He said to himself fixing his hair.

"Elliot, Hello." Xavier released Tori from their hug and got down on one knee. His hand took her's and he placed it on his forehead. "Queen Victoria Burne, I, Xavier Burne plague my loyalty to you." He winked up at her and stood. "I have things to do, but don't be a stranger." He patted Elliot's back. "Call if you need me, I'll come running."

Elliot laughed “will do Xavier.” He called. Then he turned to Victoria “how are you?” He asked quietly

Andion walked into the castle, nodding to a few of his guards. A couple he didn’t see as his limited vision prevented that but he tried his best. He knew Xavier would have talked to Victoria already so Andion went to find him.

"Xavier, you don't have to rush into things, I haven't even had the corona ceremony yet." Victoria said, flattered but embarrassed.

Elliot laughed “will do Xavier.” He called. Then he turned to Victoria “how are you?” He asked quietly

"I'm…. compensating. Barely." she said, looking away.

“Would you like to go talk privately in the garden?” He asked her

"Yes, I would very much like that. I need some fresh air." she said.

Xavier walked like a noble down the halls showing that he meant business. "Sir, Xavier." He stopped at the sound of his name. Turning on his heels, he saw an older man in military uniform bowing in front of him. "Andion, is looking for you." Andion, huh? "Dismissed." He waved his hand and walked back down the hall. The place was now extremely hectic, with the King dead and all. "I hope no one bothers her for a while. She needs time to think."

He raised his elbow and led her towards the garden, finding a path where not many people were
