But can you please be calm." Mrs Lancaster said to her daughter."Don't mind her she's just jealous." Vivian said with a sneer."Ha! me jealous? I'm actually pitying you. We all know what's going to happen at this lunch meeting or at least I know, since you all seem to be ignorant.""Helen stop it. You're too pessimistic."

She flung herself unto the couch."Sweetie, don't worry, Alexander will eventually see that you're the perfect woman for him." Said Esther, as she tried to console her daughter."Didn't you just hear what the king said? He is not going to marry her, why won't you get that into your head Esther?" Desmond Lancaster asked his wife."And why should I? She can't miss this type of opportunity.""Opportunity? The king was very clear. Do you want to end up in a dungeon?""As far as queen mother is on our side, that will never happen." She said. She then continued;"Vivian you yourself haven't been playing your cards right.
