Zara: Good morning!
Felicia: Good morning! You're here early, you’re not suppose to be here until 9!
Zara: I know, but I wanted to see you. I enjoy your company very much.
Felicia: Aw, you're too sweet.
Zara: Not at all, Your Majesty.
Zara: How are you today?
Felicia: Let's just say that I am feeling very pregnant.
Zara: In a good way?
Felicia: In the... “I am ready to be done with this”-way.
Zara: I know that feeling! I was over pregnancy very fast while expecting Shiloh.
Felicia: I can only imagine, doing it by yourself must have been hard!
Zara: Ah... Yes...
Felicia: You’re brave, choosing to keep Shiloh despite not having his father in your life. I could never manage that.
Zara: ...
Felicia: Having Alex by my side is the only thing keeping me sane during this predicament.
Felicia: He is the best husband anyone could ever ask for...
Zara: ...
Yulia: Good morning, Your Majesty; Your Royal Highness!
Polina: Good morning.
Felicia: Good morning, girls!
Zara: Hello.
Felicia: Shall we get started with today?
Yulia: After you, Your Majesty.
Felicia: Yes, just one moment please... And I oop..!
Zara: Here, Felicia, let me help you!
Felicia: Not at all, I can manage..!
Felicia: I am not helpless, you know!
Zara: Haha, sorry..!
Felicia: No need! I know you only wanted to help!
Felicia: You’re so sweet, Zara.
Zara: Thank you, Your Majesty.
Zara: ... Thank you very much.

Polina: This is beautiful! Where did you get it, Your Majesty?
Felicia: Oh, that! I got it from my husband!
Polina: It's stunning!
Felicia: Hehe, I’ll tell him you said so!
---
Yulia: Oooh this dress is gorgeous!
Felicia: Thank you! It was a gift from Alexander too! I was suppose to wear it for the parade on Saturday, but it won’t fit now, haha!
Felicia: Oh, did I show you the engagement set he gave me? It’s my favorite!
Yulia: Oh my gosh, please!! I’d love to see it!
Zara: ...
---
Felicia: Wow, I am craving a break.
Yulia: Me too, Your Majesty.
Felicia: Maybe we should rest our feet in my drawing room for a bit.
Yulia: Wonderful idea.
Felicia: For some reason, I’m craving scones...
Yulia: Same. With strawberry jam.
Felicia: Yum! Let’s ask the kitchen to make us some.
Zara: !
Polina: Would you like me to tell a servant to inform the kitchen, Your Majesty?
Felicia: That would be very nice of you, Polina.
Polina: I’ll get right to it-
Zara: I'll do it!
Felicia: Hm?
Felicia: Zara, you’ve been on your feet the entire day, I am sure Polina can manage.
Zara: Absolutely! But I would love to grab some fresh air, so I can handle it on the way outside.
Felicia: Oh, okay! Thank you, Zara.
Zara: No need, Your Majesty!
Felicia: See you soon!
Zara: Goodbye!
Zara: ...
---
Alexander: That sounds great, thank you.
Alexander: Yes, that is just what I want. White gold. Great, I’ll see you tomorrow, goodbye.
Zara: Xander!
Alexander: Yes?

Love that the vast majority of people listening to the Magnus Protocol right now are coming already from the Magnus Archives and so we’re rocking up like it’s the hunger games or something like-
“alright guys, wallets out, who do we think is gonna be the first to die? I’ve got $20 on Colin”
We really are not beating the “listeners are servants of The Eye” allegations anytime soon. We really will never learn our lesson huh?

Shiloh: “Th...Then t-the...the knight... ca-a-me out of the... wo-” No.. that’s not right...
Shiloh: “The kn-kni... knight came out of the... wo-” - Hm?
???: What are you even talking about?
???: Haven’t you heard? Apparently it was so bad they had to give Jakob sedatives.
???: Oh, come on, you believe that?
???: Yes! Maddie told me there was blood everywhere.
Aide 2: I haven’t heard anything of it.
Aide 1: That’s because you haven’t asked the right people. Maddie never lies, she knows all the things going on behind the scenes.
Aide 1: But honestly, I think Gunter kinda had it coming.
Aide 2: *Gasp* Cornelia! What a cruel thing to say!
Aide 1: He was a rude, old man! No wonder he had enemies lurking about...
Aide 1: ... If anything, I’m surprised it didn’t happen earlier.
Shiloh: ...

Alexander: What do we do now, do we still proceed?
Zara: Is that even a question..!? - Of course we don’t!
Alexander: I’m just saying-
Zara: No.
Alexander: Zara-
Zara: No. She just lost someone very dear to her, she cannot handle anything more right now.
Alexander: So what do you think will happen if this leaks to the media?
Zara: ...
Alexander: Exactly. It would do her less harm to her it straight from you.
Zara: I don’t care, I am not doing that to her. Not now.
Alexander: We had an agreement.
Zara: From before we knew what happened to Gunter.
Alexander: She deserves to know.
Zara: Then you do it.
Alexander: Ugh, I am just trying to protect you!
Zara: I get that. But I’m tired, I’m feeling sick, and I can feel a flare just around the corner, neither Alice nor I can take it right now!
Alexander: I’m just saying-
Shiloh: Are you two fighting?
Alexander: Oh no, not at all, your mother and I was simply disagreeing.
Zara: Yes, honey, we’re not angry with each other.
Shiloh: If you’re not angry, you should use your inside voices.
Alexander: You’re right, sorry if we scared you.
Shiloh: No worries, you didn’t. - Did something happen to Gunter?
Zara: Erm- why do you ask, sweetie?
Shiloh: I heard some staff talking about him and they were not very nice. - Dad, stop that.
Shiloh: Is he dead?
Zara: ...
Alexander: ...

Zara: So imagine my shock when I find out that two of our staff have been talking about Gunter’s death, in front of Shiloh!
Alice: Wow...
Zara: This is more than “wow”!
Alice: What do you want me to do?
Zara: I don’t know! I just don’t think it’s fair that this is how Shiloh found out!
Zara: I had a meeting with a child psychologist tomorrow that was going to help me...
Alice: I’m sorry.
Zara: I’m... I’m just sad that this is how he found out. He really liked Gunter and for him to...
Zara: ... *sigh* One of them said he “deserved” it.
Alice: Oh.
Zara: Yeah... To think people can be so cruel... .
Zara: ...
Alice: ...
Zara: I’m sorry, Alice. You have enough on your plate right now.
Alice: It’s fine.
Zara: No, it’s not. I will talk to the staff myself.
Alice: No need, I’ll do it.
Zara: You really don’t have to...
Alice: No, it’s okay.
Alice: ... It’s my duty.
