glances around nervously before whispering, a faint blush on her cheeks "Can we steal away to the garden? My heart longs for it."
Smiles gently What time is it?
quickly checks her pocket watch It's almost midnight, my love. The moon will be at its peak in the sky. Let us make haste before anyone notices our absence.
Then let's hurry. Don't want to wake up father now do we?
takes SunbeamJester's hand and begins leading him towards the secret exit No, my love, we must be swift and silent like shadows in the night.
Lead the way then, my lady queen
eyes glint with excitement as she picks up her pace Come, my love! We mustn't waste a single moment. The night beckons us, and freedom awaits!
Yes, my queen! He'd follow behind her
whispering with anticipation We're almost there, my love. Just a little further.
Is that..the door to the outside?
nods eagerly, a smile playing on her lips Yes, my love. That door leads us to the world beyond these walls, to the garden of our dreams.
Ooh! I'm excited! How long have we been queens? A year? Two?
pauses for a moment, pondering It has been three years since we ascended to the throne, my beloved.
Time flies doesn't it? Passes through door Wow! It's brighter than I expected!
gasps in awe, her eyes widening as she steps into the garden Oh, my love, look at the stars twinkling above!
And there's a moon! How beautiful she is!
<As Matilda and SunbeamJester revel in their secret escape to the garden, they are unaware that they are being watched by a jealous courtier who seeks to expose their forbidden love affair.>
Looks like we'll have to stay here longer than expected..Frowns slightly What should we do?
pauses for a moment, her eyes narrowing with determination We cannot let fear dictate our actions, my love.
Right...I'm not afraid.Turns back to looking around the secret garden How lovely!
grabs SunbeamJester's hand firmly Then let's make the most of this stolen moment, my love.
Do you think father would ever come after us here? He knows better than to follow us here.Giggles
leans closer to SunbeamJester, her voice a hushed whisper My love, I have devised a plan.
smirks mischievously We shall create a diversion, my love. While chaos unfolds within the castle walls, we shall slip away unnoticed.
Hm..How would we go about doing that?
her eyes sparkling with excitement We will start by gathering all the fireworks we can find in the castle's storage rooms.
grinning playfully Yes, my love. Fireworks! We will set them off in strategic locations throughout the castle, creating a dazzling display of color and light.
I like the sound of that!
moves swiftly towards the storage rooms, dragging SunbeamJester along Come, my love, we have no time to waste.
speaks quickly and quietly, her voice filled with urgency We need to work efficiently, my love.
