Kingdom of Old

Bella smiled.
"It has not fallen apart because I very rarely wear it. I don't like the color." It was a black dress, Bella almost never wore black.

IC:
"You don't? Well, I have a niece who would adore this. Do you mind if she can have it?"
Hildegard glanced at Bella.

Hildegard glanced at Bella.
"Of course she can, I have more than enough gowns," Bella said, flapping her hand.
Maybe i should give them all away if I only have a month... she thought to herself.

Hildegard smiled.
"You are a kind girl. It isn't true what the common folk say," she stated.

Hildegard smiled.
"You are a kind girl. It isn't true what the common folk say," she stated.
She sat on the bed.
"Tell me, Hildegard, what do the common folk say? That all royals are spoiled and rotten? That we don't care and are ungiving towards others?"

IC:
Hildegrd sat on a stool.
"Oh, that just local gossip, dear. No, what they really say is that you and your family have no sense of moral value...like you are barbarians. Of course, being inside the circle, I know it isn't true. But, they say it is no wonder you are marrying Prince Dirk....a shallow wife for a shallow husband."
Hildegard blushed at this, she was tactful, but did not like to say the truth because she knew it could hurt.

"I suppose he is shallow. And, at times, I can be slightly shallow." Bella said thoughtfully.
"But Moral Value? what on earth?" Bella laughed.
"It's puzzling though.. what have we ever done that is below moral standards? Hmm.. This puzzles me Hildegard."

IC:
Hildegard sighs.
"Well, you'd have to know sooner or later. Your mother, she died, of course, you know this. But, she died by the hand of your father, dear."
 
SimonW said:

Bella's mouth dropped open.
"What? Hildegard, how do you know this? Father never would! He loved Mother."
 
SaffronRose said:
Bella's mouth dropped open.
"What? Hildegard, how do you know this? Father never would! He loved Mother."

IC:
"I witnessed him with my own eyes, dear. She died in his arms, after he had plunged the dagger into her."
By now, Hildegard had tears in her old eyes.

Bella's brow furrowed.
"He wouldn't! Why on earth would he have done that?" she demanded.
 
SaffronRose said:

IC:
Hildegard shrugged slightly.
"I am not the one to ask, dear. Only he truely knows, I only saw what I saw."

Bella bit her lip.
"I have a right to know, don't I?" she asked.
Her eyes were blazing with questions, sadness and anger.

IC:
"Yes, you do. All I know is what I saw. When he stabbed her with that black dagger, I could scarcely believe it, but it is true."

"Very well." Bella said softly.
She left the tower, looking for her father.
 
SaffronRose said:
Bella nodded. "Thank you." She nodded to her sister and walked off in the direction of the throne room.
Elisabeth could see she was upset about something.

Elisabeth knew there was something bothering Bella,but she decided not to bring it up.
