"Announcing lady May as the new queen of England!" Says the royal guard as everyone applauds.
Having witnessed it with pain in her heart, she exits the hall to leave the palace. She had done her part and now they were releasing her because her service was no longer needed.
It was the life she had wanted. A normal life with a normal man. A man that she would now never have. And what she held, she could not disclose to anyone.
*At the sleepy hallows*
"We would like to congratulate and commend our most successful warrior, Andrea!" Announces lady Clarice as everyone applauds her.
She then tells lady Clarice of her plans to live alone with her sister in the cabin along the green woods. She is granted her request and hands in her sword as her last act of honour.
She is then escorted out in the society carriage with all her belongings, to begin her new life.

"Will you stop you elephant!" Shouts Caramel.
"I might be an elephant but I am still very fast. Don't make me chase after you pumpkin." Answers Andrea playfully pointing a stick at her sister. Then, she falls to the ground clutching her stomach in pain.
"Andrea! Are you ok?" She asks in worry.
"Hurry! It is time. Please.Get.Me.Inside." Answers Andrea taking quick short breaths.
Caramel agrees while trying to escort her into the cabin. "We need to get a midwife." She says patting her forehead with a wet towel.
"Caramel!" She says gritting her teeth. "We don't have much time! You have to deliver it. Hurry!" She says digging her nails into her sister's arms.
Caramel slaps her forehead not believing what she was hearing. She had no experience in this but she would try." Okay. Uhm..here,chew on this when you feel pain." She says putting a dry cloth in her mouth. "Now, push!" She yells.
Andrea obliges as she gathers all her strength to push.
Caramel wipes her forehead as she urges her on and after hours of endurance, comes the baby. Quickly, she sews her up to stop the bleeding as she wraps the baby in a blanket.
Exhausted, Andrea falls back on her pillow taking deep breaths.
"It's a girl! Andrea its a girl!" She exclaims happily, handing her over to her sister.
Andrea kisses her tiny palms as she names her, "Amelia."
Caramel fights back a tear as she hears her mother's name. So beautiful yet, so sad. "Amelia." She repeats and embraces them.
