Thedore sees them leave and he can see his siblings noticed as well. They know better than to say anything. "Miss Darcy" Mrs. Miller says as she opens the door. "There is a package for you" Georgina's eyes sparkel with excitement. "Let's it on thr table" Gerogina thanks Mrs.Miller got the notice and turns to the guests.

"Go on open it" Kate tells her with pure excrement in her voice. Georgina is hesitant. She moves her hand near it but stops. To her it's like a fire and it's almost dangerous to touch it. A knock on the door stops them all.

"Ma'am, a letter has arrived" Miranda holds her hand out. Her hand is steady but her face is pale as stone. The rose color undertones of her skin are gone. Fitzwilliam on the other hand is quite shaken. There has not been one moment in his life when he has seen his mother like this.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoxGafGhL5
Broken hearted, yes but not fearful.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcdsc7x0h
The three Royals on the other hand are quite steadfast, they know what the subject of the letter is about. It's the whole reason why they have come.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zNbVZc9Ma
All that's heard is the specific sound of wax being ripped from parchment. Miranda breathes in and opens it, her eyes scanning the letter. "What does it say?" Fitzwilliam apprensiley steps closer to the chair.

Miranda can feel the stares of her children. Fitzwilliam well if looks could kill she be dead. Georgina has a look of betrayal. Both of her children's trust in her is broken. "You said the truth was the most important thing" Fitzwilliam hisses and he steps back. His body shaking with fury.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwfDoykJBz
Miranda reaches out to hand as one would to calm a child in a tantrum. He recoils and turns to the Royals. "Im sorry, Your Highness. I must depart" Fitzwilliam polity excuses himself. He walks calmly away yet he slams the door behind him when he leaves. "Georgina" Mirnda begs her voice cracking.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUtmNgQW1p
Her daughter refuses to acknowledge her mother at all. "I can't mama" Georgina voice wavers as tears fall down her face. She grabs her package and leaves and goes after her brother. This just leaves Miranda in dispear. She just hides her face in her hands and sobs.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFawU39Yfv
She can only hope she hasn't lost her children forever. Miranda dreads telling Arabella the truth as well. "We can tell her for you" Christopher sooths as he sits next to Miranda.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x8YbkJgAE
"You shouldn't" She replies and Kate comes over and wraps her arm around her. "We should, Mama swore you to secrecy" Kate rubs her back. "It's right we make up for the trouble she caused". Thedore watches them and decides maybe Fitzwilliam could use a friend as well.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFdIWTie0K
Thedore quietly slips out of the room and goes down the hall. The room has wonder red soft carpet and brown burgundy walls. The designs on the wallpaper are flowers of roses and violets. It's quite fashionable of the time but he doesn't understand why.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPeKTFt0k4
He makes his way to what he thinks is Fitzwilliam room. This place might as well be the labyrinth. It may be smaller than the Royal Palace but he was familiar at least. Before he can knock on the door it opens to reveal Arabella. The last person he wanted to see. "You're highness" Ara curtsys to him.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHoikqSgfA
"I apologize, I thought this was Mr.Darcys room" Ara shakes her head and points down to the last bedroom. Ara doesn't need to say a word as he bows his head and leaves. Ara could have sworn she heard him her name before he left.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cmyhhq5hX
Once Thedore get to the correct room. Yes, he double checked. Fitzwilliam let's him in after he knocked. Thedore can see he has been drinking. Mr.Darcys breath reeks of whiskey, his hair a mess and he is only in a white shirt and breeches.

"Pray God, I hope this works" Theo thinks as he shutts the door behind him.

Ara watched Theo as he went to go speak to her brother. She tries to shake the thought from her mind. The covers and sheets are sprawled out. She can't stop thinking of him, the boy. His face so close to her own and the fact his body was as well. The way that they talked for hours.

She had never felt so peaceful and calm with another human being. She can't stop thinking of him. She hopes that he opens up to her. Some part of her wants to yell at her for thinking in such a brash and quick way.

Arabella truly can't help it, for the first time and in a long time..she feels connected to someone. If only Arabella truly knew that Arno was a Rake. He truly does not care for her. In the coming days the pain and guilt she will feel.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ9eKduGaV
Arabella thought that Arno was the One and he isn't. You see Arno was raised in the country side of France. He is quite close to his family. Yet he has fall in love before byf only once. It broke him to pieces because he caught her in the arms of another man.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVhrcsL5lX
Arno can't face that pain again so he runs back to France that night. After he got permission, of course. No letters or words of goodbye. Gone as leaves being carried by the wind.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjZRiXP5Pk
Arabella soulmate is actually in Avalor itself. He is seventeen years her senior and it's not at all what she will except but it's worth fighting for.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8yJwNWp0e
Well Arabella is in her room trying to sleep Thedore and Fitzwilliam are discussing her future.

Fitzwilliam was informed of the truth. The Royals weren't here for the Social Season like the Darcy children had been told. He understood that from the letter itself. It was Thedore who explained it fully.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa9y1Y8vya
The fact that Theo was raised on the street and living in a room with nine other people. He would wear the same clothes day after day. Break backing work, twelve hour shifts in the factories. Smoke and fog in their lungs, soot and dirt on their skin. Combined with the loud machines that are so loud your ears might as well be bleeding.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnujcVKCyf
Most don't live to be past the age of forty years. That is if one doesn't die of consumption or some other disease. That when he found out the truth, he could not believe his luck and hate. He now had to be the very people he found disgusting.

Theo thought that the rich were careless and unsympathetic. They except them to give their money in taxes and leave them penniless. They were begging for bread well the rich gorged on endles banquets of food. Banquet of food that go to waste or spoil. Fruit as an ornament instead of nutrition.

It's a slap in the face for the working class people.

Yet his first mission as Prince of Avalor was to bring his long lost twin sister home. He was angry and frustrated, yet curious. He told Fitzwilliam that the plan was for Arabella to get to know them. To complete her first session in peace before her entire life would change.

They didn't think their mother would send that letter and have no idea why she would do that. "Your mother must have wanted you out of the country" Fitzwilliam dudced from what he was told.

"How did the Civil War break out?" Fitzwilliam puts down the paper and leans back in his chair. Theo leans on Fitzwilliam desk in shock. He can't believe their mother sent them on a fools mission. Then he truly thinks of it and thinks that actually fits his mother character.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cMJrxvi2Z
"I mean your family loves your people and your country. My mother always talked about how the Queen and King were kind to people on the street".

"How so?" A simple qustion from Ftizwillaim but such a loaded answer is required. "If need be he would turn a palace into a hospital" Teo takes a breath. "Yet he would not give the people a council". Fitwilliam looks at the potraits of Roland in his bedroom. "I understand the want for tradtion and honor" Fitwilliam holds a glass in Rolands memory.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHDtNpqVYm
"Yet never for the cost of the people" Fitz takes a sip if his whiskey and offers it to Theo. He takes the glass and taste of fruit and oats touch his lips. "He didnt get much of a choice. A revolutionist had thrown a bomb near his carriage".
