Claire: Why can't I go with you?
William: I sense your adventurous trait coming out Claire.
I can't risk you getting hurt.I need to stay with Cedric.
Claire: What if you get hurt?
William: I promise, we'll be fine.I'll find him and we'll take care of him.We got rid of Bryce, Sarah and Aslan.I think I can handle Cornelious as well.
Claire: Okay..
William: Claire...PROMISE, and I mean it PROMISE me you won't follow me?
Claire: I promise.I won't follow.
William: Do you really mean it?
Claire: Me? Not keep a promise?
William: Claire!
Claire: Okay, Okay.I swear it.
Claire: Please be careful!
Duncan: Just a thought, what if this was his plan? To get you out of the castle, and to attack her and Ella while we're gone.
William: Maker's breath, why would you tell me something like that?
Duncan: I'm sorry.
Claire: Hush little baby don't say a word.(hums the rest) Ella, you don't need to spend all day in here you know.
Ella: I know, but I'm your lady in waiting.That's what I do...I wait.
Claire: Wait for what? I'm not doing anything.
Ella: Should have took those lessons like your husband asked.
Boy: Mr.Knight sir, where you going? What you doing?
Duncan: We're off to get a bad guy.
Boy: Can I come? I wanna use a sword.
Duncan: Maybe next time, you should probably head home to your mommy.
Boy: Aw, alright.
Wildfire sensed danger...Perhaps Cornelious was near by.
King William: Don't let your guard down.Lady senses something.
Duncan: I sense it to, I feel like we're being stalked or watched...
Alistair: As do I.
King William: That makes three of us.Continue, but cautiously.
Cornelious: Think you'll throw me off guard...I think not..If its war you want, Its war you'll get..
Duncan: Thanks for getting me involved, I really appreciate it.
King William: Are you getting smart with me? You'll find yourself fired like Bryce.
Duncan: Sorry.
Alistair: Would you get some back bone, You're suppose to be defending your king, not arguing with him because it didn't go as planned.
Cornelious: King William...
Cornelious: Enjoyed the little gift I left your prince? Congratulations on the birth.Such a cute little boy...
King William: Seriously, Cornelious...Take it back..I mean it.
Cornelious: You don't like the gift?
King William: No...Its a horrible thing having to do what your told every minute of the day.
Cornelious: Okay....I'll just change my focus to Claire.
King William Don't you dare...
Cornelious: You got three options 1.leave Cedric with his marvelous gift, 2.I'll just take it out on Claire or 3.Let me do as I will with you.
Which is it?
King William: Do as you will with me Cornelious, but leave my family out of it.
Cornelious: Oh goodie...I get to have some fun.
Cornelious: As soon as you're done here...You can go home...But don't expect your lovely wife to be able to help this time...
Cornelious: Time for me to take my leave...Buh-bye.
Lady didn't recognize her king and freaked out.(Ignore the xmas lights, don't know how to remove them from NPC homes)
William: Lady...Lady, its me....relax girl.
Lady gazed into her owner's eyes and recognized him immediately.
William: Take me to Claire lady...quickly.
Once again they race off to save Claire...
meanwhile back in the castle...
Cornelious: Hello, Prince Cedric.Care to join me in the Fae?
Claire: Unhand my son right now.That's an order, or I'll call for the guards...
Cornelious: Your guards are all with your husband, out looking for me...I think I'll bring Cedric home with me...unless.
Claire: Unless what?
Cornelious: Leave William, and come with me.Otherwise, the baby is mine, and the king will be finished..
Claire: You wouldn't kill either of them....
Cornelious: Wouldn't I?
Claire: Please don't...I'll go with you.But don't hurt William or Cedric...please!
Cornelious: That's a good little queen.
Claire: Just let me hold my baby once...
Cornelious: Fine...But make it quick...
@Springfairy556 I was very surprised that Ella was the one to take Cornelious out. I had no idea she was so powerful! It was sweet that she became Cedric's godmother. I'm glad that this all happened before he stole Claire away. But now William is cursed noooooo. Maybe there's a cure for it. It won't do him any good to keep the truth hidden from Claire though. She has to know, especially if he has to transform every night. Ah it's just so bittersweet
@coco
Ella was a little twist I randomly decided to throw in.XD
Yeah, poor William.He will eventually have to tell her, but I think he's feeling insecure about it.
Duncan: You feeling alright?
William: What do you think?
Duncan: Good point.
The sun began to rise over praaven, with that William felt himself changing...
Back into his normal form...
Apparently, he'll be human during the day and werewolf at night.
Duncan: I'll go get Claire.
William: No..we're not gonna tell her, at least not right now...
Duncan: ...Alright.
Claire: William?! William!
William: Maker, Claire! What happened? Are you hurt?
Claire: He's here, threatened to take the baby unless I agreed to go with him.
William: I hope you didn't agree Claire...
Claire: I had no choice...
Cornelious: Did someone mention my name?
William: Cornelious! We had an agreement....
Cornelious: But agreements are pointless, I want a wife...
William: Stay away from her...
Cornelious: No, I made my choice...
Cornelious: Oww...Oww!
William: Maker's breath?
Ella: Its time to finish you Cornelious.
One more zap from Ella and Cornelious was done.
Claire: Ella...Where did that come from?
Ella:...Um...I kind of dabble in white magic...I hope I'm not in trouble.Maybe I shouldn't have killed him..
I'm sorry.
William: You're not in trouble Ella.You save my family!
Claire: Thank you Ella! I have no way to repay you....Wait, Yes I do...
Would you be the baby's godmother?
Ella: Really me? Wouldn't you want someone from your family.
Claire: You're family to me Ella.
William: We'd be honored if you'd be Cedric's godmother Ella.
Ella: I'd love to.
William: Claire, are you alright?
Claire: I am.Did he hurt you william? Are you okay?
William decided not to tell Claire about his curse, he figured he'd find a way to break it without her knowing.
William: I'm fine Claire.We're together again, that's all that matters.
Like the night before, William transformed into werewolf.He decided it was best not to go back to the castle until morning, that way Claire
wouldn't find out.
Of course being a werewolf now, means wolf instincts kicked in and it was dinner time to..
meanwhile back at the castle...
Claire: This must be some cruel punishment for me disappearing all those times.I get it, its not a nice feeling.This isn't funny...
But she got too tired to stay up any longer.
Claire: Where were you last night?
William: I had somethings to take care of.
Claire: What kind of things?
William: Don't worry about it, just had to help a few people..
Claire: You're acting strange.
William: So are you..
Claire: That makes no sense.
William: Right.
Claire: I'm going for a walk...
William: What's that over there?
Claire: Where?
While Claire looked behind, William pelted her with a snowball.
Claire: That wasn't very nice.
William: Never said I was nice..
Claire: I'm gonna hurt you for that one..
Claire: I feel like I'm being watched...
William: You have a little friend behind you.
Behind Claire was a lonely wild horse who decided to sneak a peek on the couple.
Claire: Seriously, where were you last night?
William: Please stop asking.Its nothing to be concerned with.
Claire: Fine...I'll ask Ella, I know she knows, and I know she can't keep a secrete.
William: Don't you dare...
Claire: I will when we get home..
William tried to distract Claire by building a snowman with her.XD
Claire: I really don't wanna sit in this chair all day Cedric, go to sleep.
Of course with that command, the baby went to sleep.
William: Wait...Cedric wake up.
And again the baby woke up.
William: That lying...He tricked me...
Claire: Tricked you how? Who?
William: Its nothing...I have to go check on something.
Night was approaching and he could feel it coming.
Claire: Let me come with you, I can help.
William: No! Stay here Claire, that's an order.
Claire: Alright....You're moody and cranky.What has gotten into you?
William: Nothing.
Claire could see his personality was changing.He wasn't himself...
William ran as quickly as he could away from the castle.
Claire: Ella, what is wrong with William lately? Something's not right.
Ella: I'm not at liberty to say, Your majesty.I made a promise.
Claire: Ella, He's not here right now, I'm in charge.Tell me right now.
Ella: I won't say why he's out there, but a little birdie told me his favorite spot is down by the river.
You're cape is over there -cough- you know -cough- If you're seeking adventure.
Claire: Ella, you know me all too well.
Claire: William? If you're trying to make me worry, like I made you worry...Its working.I get it...Its not a nice feeling now come
out now...
Claire heard a low growl in the woods, out of the shadow appeared what to be a werewolf.
Claire: Stay away!...Someone help..
The werewolf approached Claire cautiously....then started sniffing her quite inappropriately.
Claire: What are you doing? Are you sizing me up for lunch? Get back.She gave it a slap on the nose.
bad! No!
The poor guy wined like a lost puppy.
Claire: Don't give me that look.Its not nice to try and eat people...She noticed his eyes...
Claire: Wait a minute...
Only William ever looked at her that way...
Claire: ....William?
Claire: It is you, isn't it? Maker what happened to you?
William collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, bringing Claire down with him.
Claire: Maker's breath! What did he do to you?!
William whined a little.As a werwolf, he wasn't able to speak, all he could do is look at his queen.
Claire: This is all my fault.Everything that's happened...I'm so sorry...
William could see the hurt and pain lingering in Claire's eyes.He gently wiped the tears away, trying to comfort his wife.
When they arrived back at the castle, Claire tackled her husband to the ground playfully.
Claire: I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.
Of course sunrise meant transformation again.
William: This is starting to get to be a bit too much, even for me.
Before he could even get downstairs to the dining hall, Cedric decided he wanted to eat first.
Ryder: (Neighs) Look at that pretty white lady over there, she's a real beauty.-neighs- Think I have a chance.
Wildfire: (neighs) back off stud, that lady is my wife and mother to sable.Don't make me stick my hoof up your rear.
The Royal family decided to take a ride out to the woods to get firewood.
Claire was lost in thought, not speaking very much.
Duncan: My queen, you feeling alright? You're awfully quiet.
William: He's right.You're not yourself today.
Claire: I'm okay, just enjoying the ride..
Claire signaled for Wildfire to speed up, they went galloping off.
William: Would you wait for us?
William: Claire....Maker's breath, not this again...
William: Alright, what's wrong? You only take off like that when you're upset, worried or angry about something.So which is it?
Claire: None of the above.I just wanted to go faster that's all.
Duncan rolled his eyes, he heard that before.
Claire: I'm heading home now.
William: Not without me, I'll ride in front.Thank you.
Claire: -rolls eyes-
Wildfire: Lady can ride in front all she wants.That is one beautiful moon she has.-neighs-
William: Claire? You're packing? Where are you going?
Claire: I got a letter from my mother this morning, she wants me to come spend the holidays with her.
William: Really? Shouldn't she come here, so you can be with your family?
Claire: Please don't start.I'm all she has.
William: I understand that.But it would be no trouble to have her come here.Duncan could go ride with her.
Claire: I don't think that's best...giving our current situation with what you're going through.She's not exactly keen on our
relationship to begin with.
William: That's a little rude, don't you think?
Claire: Yes, but it is what it is.Can't change her opinion.But she really wants to see me.I have to go now, I'll be back next week.
William: Next week?! The entire week?
Claire: Yes, William.Christmas is next week..
Claire scurried out the door as quickly as she could.And just in the nick of time to.
William: And here we go again..
Claire: Good horse, I hope you know the way, I'm not a hundred percent certain.
Claire: Maker's breath, its freezing out here.I didn't wear enough layers.
Claire: Alright, I don't recognize this...Wildfire, where are we?
Claire: Maybe I could get directions...
Claire: Excuse me sir, Could you give me directions to Lake Whispers please?
Merchant: M'lady, you're miles from Lake Whisper, I fear.You're welcome to board here for the night, weather is expected to be rough the next few hours.
Claire: That is very kind, thank you.
Claire: Now that I have directions, hopefully we won't get lost.Let's go see mother.
Two hours later...
Claire: Should almost be there...I know Wildfire, I'm tired to.
Fantine: Claire. I'm so glad you could come.I wasn't sure if you would.
Claire: I had a hard time getting past William...He wanted you to come to the castle.
Fantine: Well, that was kind.But I rather have you visit me, darling.
Claire: This is nice.Motherly, daughterly time.By the way, Mother, you're a grandmother...Cedric.
Fantine: What? When.
Claire: few weeks ago.It would be nice if you came to see the baby.
Fantine: I would love to....You seem worried.What's wrong.
Claire went on to explain everything with Cornelious and now with williams curse.
Fantine walked over, thumbing the window for quite sometime.
Fantine: Werewolf huh? Those creatures are dangerous Claire.Is it best that you're there around him in this position?
Claire: Dangerous? Mother, he's my husband.He wouldn't hurt a fly, he's been nothing but gentle and kind.
Fantine: Yes, but before long those wolf instincts will bear their ugly teeth, no pun intended.
Claire: Mother!
Fantine: Just saying.I don't want my daughter getting hurt, and your baby...
Maybe you two could come here for a while until he gets himself fixed...
Claire: I'm making pie mum, want some?
Fantine: Sure! But let's go outside for a bit first.
Claire: Mother, look behind you.A dragon!
Fantine: Maker's breathe, where!? Where?!
Claire pelts Fantine with an icy cold snowball right in her noggin.
Fantine: Child, you're going to regret that move.
After about 30 minutes of running through the snow, the ladies decided some tea and pie were in order.
William: I think this is the right house Lady.
William was missing Claire too much, so he decided to pay a visit.
Fantine: Someone's outside Claire.Would you mind seeing who it is?
Claire(in background): Of course.
Claire: William?! What are you doing here?
William: I missed you.Thought perhaps I could spend the holidays with you.
Claire: William, I'm trying to spend sometime with my mother.You know? To bond with her?
William: And? You can't bond with your husband around?
William: I think we should spend the holidays together Claire.If your mother doesn't want to come to the castle, I don't mind
coming here.As long as I'm with you.
He went to caress her cheek, but she pulled away quickly.
William: What's wrong?
Claire: I just want some one on one time with my mother, that's all.She invited me out here so we could bond, please go home.
I will be back after the holidays.
William: Go home? You're seriously asking me to leave? But Claire...
Claire: Please...If you love me, you'll go home for me? Please?
William: You're going to pull that stunt on me? That's not very nice.
I'll go.I'm sorry that I just wanted to spend time with you..I'll see you after the holidays.
Claire: Please stop that.I'll spend Easter with you? Valentines Day? All those other holidays to get that look off your face?
please?
William: I guess, this is goodbye until after the holidays..
Claire: I'll be back right after the holidays.I promise.
William: Sure...
William rode off toward home, but he didn't get too far before..
The sun set and it was time for transformation again.
Claire arrived home early the next morning, and received a welcome from William.
William: I missed you to....
Claire: Cedric, please stop crying.Mommy doesn't feel well...I think I'm gonna throw up...
William: Are you alright?
Claire: No....I need to go lay down..
Ella: Is Claire alright?
William: I don't think so, I think she's running a fever.
Ella gently placed her hand on Claire's head.
Ella: She is.I'll go fix some medicine.
William: Thank you Ella.You take good care of us.
Claire was taking a walk in her quiet spot, when William decided to join her.
William: Uh-oh, something's wrong.You only come here when something's up.
Claire: Just contemplating about things.
William: Like what?
Claire: I don't wanna talk..
William: Of course you don't.
Claire: What's that suppose to mean?
William: It means what you want it to mean.
Claire: You want me to talk? You'll have to catch me first.XD
Claire took off,playfully running as fast as she could.
Claire: What? can't keep up? That's okay, I'm an expert at running.
William: Maker's breath, you run like the devil is after you.Hey Claire, look over there!
Claire: Where? I don't see anything.
William: I must have thought I saw something, but look at this.
Claire: Maker, William, I'm gonna hurt you.
William: And that, dear lady is what I call karma.
William: Now...Come here!
Claire: Why?
William: This is why..
William: You wanted to see us Ella?
Ella: Yes.
Claire: What can we do for you?
Ella: I found a cure for your "Issue" Your highness.
William: You did?! Please do it.
Claire: That's wonderful, yes Ella please do so.
Ella: I would, Queen. But....I need some rather unusual ingredients.
William: Like what?
Ella: 1.The Cow as white as milk. 2.The Cape as red as blood.3.The Slipper as pure as gold, 4.The hair as yellow as corn.
I would need these by the next full moon, which is in 7 days.
Claire: That is an odd shopping list..
Ella: I don't write these, I just use them.
Claire: Well, it looks like I'm off to find ingredients.
William: Let's go.
Claire: No, you need to stay here.I will do this, this is my problem..
William: The curse is on me Claire, we should do it together.
Claire: No, the curse is my fault to begin with and I will get the ingredients.Please stay with Cedric.
Now...What was it that we needed?
William: You don't remember? The cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the slipper as pure as gold, the hair as yellow as corn.
Claire:(Repeating): The cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the slipper as pure as gold, the hair as yellow as corn.
William: I really want to help you Claire.
Claire: I'll do this on my own.The cow as gold corn, wait the cape as yellow.
WIlliam:(rolls eyes) the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the slipper as pure as gold, the hair as yellow as corn.
Claire: Got it.
few hours later....
Claire: The slipper as white as milk...the cape as gold as corn...no that's not the right...
William: -sighs- the cow as white as milk.
Claire: What are you doing here?! I said to stay home.
William: You don't control me Claire, and don't ever talk to me like that.I'm helping
I'm the one cursed.
Claire: I'm doing this myself, go home.
William: I'm done with your nonsense, I'm helping and tat's an order.
Wildfire: (neighs) here they go again...
Lady:(neighs) so childish these two.
Claire: Fine, but don't expect me to speak to you.
William: Fine.Close up and run away like you always do.
William: Claire, look over there.
Claire: Didn't I say I wasn't speaking to you, and I'm not falling for that again just to be pelted.
William: Maker's breath, would you just look.
Claire turns to see a small figure quickly approaching in the distance.
Claire:(Whispers) the cape as red as blood.
Little Girl: Hi, I really hate to ask it, but do you have a basket miss?
Claire: What do you need a basket for?
Little Girl: I'm taking some baked goods to my granny, she's sick in bed.
William: Its a little dangerous for a young girl to be out on her own.
Little Girl: Mama said if I stayed on the path I'd be alright.But I dropped all my belongings over yonder
and I could use a basket.
Claire: I do have one.Let me fetch it, that's a lovely cloak you're wearing.
Little Girl: Thank you.My granny made it for me on my 7th birthday!
Claire: By chance you wouldn't have a spare one would you?
Little Girl: No, why?
Claire: I kind of need
William: Ahem....
Claire: We kind of need a cloak like that.Would you be willing to trade it for something else to wear?
Little Girl: Um, it depends on what it is.
Claire: Here take these.My mother made them for me for the holidays.I can part with them and her basket if we could
trade for the cloak.
Little Girl: I know you! You're the Queen! And this must be your prince.
Claire: King, actually.But yes.
Little Girl: -gestures for claire to come closer.(whispers): Nice find in the king.You got a cute boy with you.
William: ha.
Claire: Yes, I know.
Little Girl: Here take the cloak! Thanks for the hood and cape.Good luck with what it is your doing.
William: Thank you.Be careful out here.
Little Girl: I will.
William: You gave up your gift from your mother for me?
Claire: Yeah, well it had to be done.
William: That means a lot to Claire, I know you want to be close with your mother.
Claire: Yes, well I know you don't want to be in your position forever either.
William: I love you Claire.
Ella: King, Queen, you're back.Did you get the ingredients?
William: Well...We got two of them.
Claire: Three.
William: Two, The cape as red as blood and the hair as yellow as corn.
Claire: And the slipper as pure as gold.
Claire lifted her dress to reveal her shoes.
Claire: A gift from my mother, but you're welcome to use them.
Ella: Perfect!
William: We're missing the cow.
Ella: Actually I took the liberty of doing that, all I needed was milk from the cow.
Claire: How long is this going to take?
Ella: Not long, bout a half hour?
William: Do hurry Ella.
Ella: I'm trying my best here.
Ella: All done.Are you ready? We need to wait until your in werewolf form..
William: Yes!
Claire: I know that look.Its his, "If this don't work Ella, I'm gonna kill you" look.
Ella: Please have more faith in me.Sheesh.
And William took one huge gulp.It certainly wasn't chocolate by no means, but it wasn't overly gross either.
And with that, His curse was lifted.
Claire: Ella, you're a life saver.
William: She certainly is.Thank you, We can't say that enough.
Ella: It was no trouble.
Duncan: Oh, you helped Ella? Well let me thank you as well.
Claire: Ahem...I'm still standing here...
Ella: Perhaps, you owe your man one as well?
William's curse was lifted just in time, as Cedric turned 1 year old today.
Just enjoying dinner after a stressful night.
William: Are you coming to bed?
Claire: Shh, I don't want to get up.He's sleeping.I'll be over here in a little bit.
William: Alright.
Claire: Good night, Cedric.Mommy loves you.
The child whined and fussed for about 10 minutes until he went out like a light.
the next morning...
Ella: Claire, I can take care of teaching Cedric to talk, walk and potty train.
Claire: Thank you Ella, but I would rather do it.I'm the mother.
Ella: Are you sure? I really don't mind, I'm here to help.
William: Ella, its no use trying to argue.Claire is gonna do what Claire wants to do.
Claire: He knows me all too well.
Ella: Alright then.
First day of Spring and it still looked like the dead of winter.
Duncan: I'm freezing.Do we have to do this now?
William: Yes.Stop whining and start training.
Duncan: Yes, You're majesty.
William: Excellent block Duncan.
Duncan: I don't know, you're pretty good yourself.
William: Practice.
Cedric finally learned how to talk and now it was time to walk.
William: Alright, Cedric.Come to daddy.
William: That's my boy.
Ella: Are you sure you don't want me to do that?
William: I think I'll join my wife and do it myself.Thank you Ella.
Ella: Okay, I just kind of feel bad making you both do it.
William: Don't feel bad.
William: Alright, Cedric.Let's try this again.
After hours of training, Cedric can finally walk on his two legs.
William: Let's take Cedric out to the festival.
Claire: Alright, I could use some air.
William: Why are you setting our son on the ground?
Claire: I see something shiny...
William: Maker's breath, you and your objects.
Claire: It wasn't anything shiny I wanted....
William: Next time you won't pick up foreign objects will you?
Ella: I'm sorry Claire, but I think Duncan is gonna beat your husband at horseshoes.
Claire: He probably could..
William: Thanks for the support My lady.
Claire: Anytime dear husband.
Duncan: My Queen, Your son is about to run out the gate.
William: What?!
Claire: Oh Cedric! get back here!
Before she could turn around, Cedric was off, like a little race horse.
William managed to catch up with him.
William: Please don't tell me you're going to be a runner like your mother.
Maker, I can't keep up with two of you.
William: I think this belongs to us.
Claire: Cedric! Don't take off like that, you scared me!
William: Like all the times you scared me with your running wild.
Ella: Ha! He's got you there.
Claire came out of the library with a horrid look on her face, while playing with a Cedric, a messenger boy approached her, handing her
a letter.Her mother had been killed overnight when her cottage was attacked.
William: Claire? What's wrong? I know that look.
She didn't say any words, but instead ran off toward home.
William: Not again.Claire?!
William: Where are you going?
Claire: I have to go to my mother's as soon as possible.I will be back as soon as I can.
William: I'm coming with you..
Claire: No...I really have to go alone this time, no exceptions
William: Why? Claire? Okay...
Claire: Mother! Oh maker!
Claire ran to her mother, trying to break her free from the rubble.
William: Maker! What happened?
Claire: What are you doing here William?
William: I wanted to make sure you're okay.
Claire: No, I'm not...
William: Here, give me that..
Claire: No! Just let me do it
Claire: Mother....
William: Claire, come on talk to me.
Claire:(Angry) No! Just..Let me be lone.
William gently grabs claire by the arms.
William: Claire...Claire stop..Being angry isn't going to bring your mother back.
Claire:....
William: I know you feel alone....but you're not alone Claire....You have me..
Really annoyed, I downloaded a medieval sim from the exchange.Turns out to be my king.Someone reuploaded him, didn't even bother editing him, and even left the name, traits and all that the same.
William: Claire, almost time for breakfast.
Claire: Yes, I know.Come on Cedric.
William: Are you alright? You haven't said a word since your mother's funeral.
Claire: No, I'm not.But I will be...
William: Come here...I'm...sorry Claire.
Claire felt a little better and decided to get ready for breakfast...
Claire: I look horrible..I can't get my hair to stay.
William: You look beautiful, stop fussing.
Claire: I'm not fussing..
William: I want to show you something.
Claire: What?
William: This...
after breakfast...
Claire: I'm really okay, taking a ride by myself.
William: Yes, I'm well aware of that, but I'm coming anyways.No arguements.
Claire: Okay, fine.
William: Is that a dragon?
Claire: Oh, dragon.Where?
When Claire looked to see, William took off.
Claire: That's cheating! Come on Wildfire.
Claire: Wow, He's really improved his riding skills.
William: What took you so long? Claire can't keep up?
Claire: Funny...
They spent the afternoon watching the wild horses, the much needed alone time they were longing for.
The wild horses apparently enjoyed their company, giving Claire and William a breathtaking show.
Wild Horse: Neighs, can I have that apple?
They especially loved Claire for some particular reason and wouldn't stop following her.
Just a random shot that I liked.Claire on one side, William on the other.
Claire: Oh a seed?! Don't mind if I do.
Just a little romance before heading home.
the next morning....
William: Happy love day Claire!
Claire: Aww, they're beautiful.You didn't have to.
Cedric just playing with some blocks.Not much for a toddler to do.
Claire: Cedric, please stop crying...Would you mind putting that book down and helping me.
William: You're doing a fine job on your own.
Claire: Thanks for that.-rolls eyes-
After Cedric was through with his temper tantrum.Claire and William headed to the beach.
Of course it started raining and they headed home...But Claire, as always, got distracted.
William: Claire, I'm getting soaked.
Claire: Just a minute...Don't mind if I do.
William: I'm standing in thunder and lightning so you can pick random seeds?
Claire: Is there a problem with that?
William: Yes...I'm getting soaked.
William: Its nice getting to spend alone time together Claire.Sometimes I feel left out, you do know that right?
Claire: Honestly, no I didn't realize you were feeling left out...I'm sorry..
William: You know how you can make amends?
Claire: How?
Claire: You're being real flirty right now..
William: I'm just getting started...
Claire: Okay...Stop, I can't take much more..
William: Let's go somewhere more private...
Claire: You read my mind.
Duncan: Lancelot, May I introduce your King and Queen., Your Majesties, your new First Knight, Lancelot.
William: Its nice to meet you Lancelot, We need all the help we can get.
Lancelot: The pleasure is mine King William.
Ella: (in distance) Cedric stop that! Get back here.
William: Excuse me for a moment.
Lancelot: And its a real pleasure to meet you, Queen Claire. I've heard so much about you.
Claire: You have? Might I ask what you've heard?
Lancelot: How Praaven has the most beautiful Queen around, and How the Queen has sense of adventure.
Claire: Really?
Lancelot: Yes, and I can see that it were not a lie, Praaven indeed has a beautiful Queen.
Now, if you'll excuse me your Highness, I'm sure your husband would like to meet with me.
Claire: Of Course.
Comments
Claire: Why can't I go with you?
William: I sense your adventurous trait coming out Claire.
I can't risk you getting hurt.I need to stay with Cedric.
Claire: What if you get hurt?
William: I promise, we'll be fine.I'll find him and we'll take care of him.We got rid of Bryce, Sarah and Aslan.I think I can handle Cornelious as well.
Claire: Okay..
William: Claire...PROMISE, and I mean it PROMISE me you won't follow me?
Claire: I promise.I won't follow.
William: Do you really mean it?
Claire: Me? Not keep a promise?
William: Claire!
Claire: Okay, Okay.I swear it.
Claire: Please be careful!
Duncan: Just a thought, what if this was his plan? To get you out of the castle, and to attack her and Ella while we're gone.
William: Maker's breath, why would you tell me something like that?
Duncan: I'm sorry.

Claire: Hush little baby don't say a word.(hums the rest) Ella, you don't need to spend all day in here you know.
Ella: I know, but I'm your lady in waiting.That's what I do...I wait.
Claire: Wait for what? I'm not doing anything.
Ella: Should have took those lessons like your husband asked.
Boy: Mr.Knight sir, where you going? What you doing?
Duncan: We're off to get a bad guy.
Boy: Can I come? I wanna use a sword.
Duncan: Maybe next time, you should probably head home to your mommy.
Boy: Aw, alright.
Wildfire sensed danger...Perhaps Cornelious was near by.
King William: Don't let your guard down.Lady senses something.
Duncan: I sense it to, I feel like we're being stalked or watched...
Alistair: As do I.
King William: That makes three of us.Continue, but cautiously.
Cornelious: Think you'll throw me off guard...I think not..If its war you want, Its war you'll get..
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
@meerkattime
he knew they were coming.lol
Cornelious: Time for a little trip now...
Duncan: Thanks for getting me involved, I really appreciate it.
King William: Are you getting smart with me? You'll find yourself fired like Bryce.
Duncan: Sorry.
Alistair: Would you get some back bone, You're suppose to be defending your king, not arguing with him because it didn't go as planned.
Cornelious: King William...
Cornelious: Enjoyed the little gift I left your prince? Congratulations on the birth.Such a cute little boy...
King William: Seriously, Cornelious...Take it back..I mean it.
Cornelious: You don't like the gift?
King William: No...Its a horrible thing having to do what your told every minute of the day.
Cornelious: Okay....I'll just change my focus to Claire.
King William Don't you dare...
Cornelious: You got three options 1.leave Cedric with his marvelous gift, 2.I'll just take it out on Claire or 3.Let me do as I will with you.
Which is it?
King William: Do as you will with me Cornelious, but leave my family out of it.
Cornelious: Oh goodie...I get to have some fun.
Cornelious: As soon as you're done here...You can go home...But don't expect your lovely wife to be able to help this time...
Cornelious: Time for me to take my leave...Buh-bye.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Lady didn't recognize her king and freaked out.(Ignore the xmas lights, don't know how to remove them from NPC homes)
William: Lady...Lady, its me....relax girl.
Lady gazed into her owner's eyes and recognized him immediately.
William: Take me to Claire lady...quickly.
Once again they race off to save Claire...
meanwhile back in the castle...
Cornelious: Hello, Prince Cedric.Care to join me in the Fae?
Claire: Unhand my son right now.That's an order, or I'll call for the guards...
Cornelious: Your guards are all with your husband, out looking for me...I think I'll bring Cedric home with me...unless.
Claire: Unless what?
Cornelious: Leave William, and come with me.Otherwise, the baby is mine, and the king will be finished..
Claire: You wouldn't kill either of them....
Cornelious: Wouldn't I?
Claire: Please don't...I'll go with you.But don't hurt William or Cedric...please!
Cornelious: That's a good little queen.
Claire: Just let me hold my baby once...
Cornelious: Fine...But make it quick...
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Ella was a little twist I randomly decided to throw in.XD
Yeah, poor William.He will eventually have to tell her, but I think he's feeling insecure about it.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Duncan: You feeling alright?
William: What do you think?
Duncan: Good point.
The sun began to rise over praaven, with that William felt himself changing...
Back into his normal form...
Apparently, he'll be human during the day and werewolf at night.
Duncan: I'll go get Claire.
William: No..we're not gonna tell her, at least not right now...
Duncan: ...Alright.
Claire: William?! William!
William: Maker, Claire! What happened? Are you hurt?
Claire: He's here, threatened to take the baby unless I agreed to go with him.
William: I hope you didn't agree Claire...
Claire: I had no choice...
Cornelious: Did someone mention my name?
William: Cornelious! We had an agreement....
Cornelious: But agreements are pointless, I want a wife...
William: Stay away from her...
Cornelious: No, I made my choice...
Cornelious: Oww...Oww!
William: Maker's breath?
Ella: Its time to finish you Cornelious.
One more zap from Ella and Cornelious was done.
Claire: Ella...Where did that come from?
Ella:...Um...I kind of dabble in white magic...I hope I'm not in trouble.Maybe I shouldn't have killed him..
I'm sorry.
William: You're not in trouble Ella.You save my family!
Claire: Thank you Ella! I have no way to repay you....Wait, Yes I do...
Would you be the baby's godmother?
Ella: Really me? Wouldn't you want someone from your family.
Claire: You're family to me Ella.
William: We'd be honored if you'd be Cedric's godmother Ella.
Ella: I'd love to.
William: Claire, are you alright?
Claire: I am.Did he hurt you william? Are you okay?
William decided not to tell Claire about his curse, he figured he'd find a way to break it without her knowing.
William: I'm fine Claire.We're together again, that's all that matters.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Like the night before, William transformed into werewolf.He decided it was best not to go back to the castle until morning, that way Claire
wouldn't find out.
Of course being a werewolf now, means wolf instincts kicked in and it was dinner time to..
meanwhile back at the castle...
Claire: This must be some cruel punishment for me disappearing all those times.I get it, its not a nice feeling.This isn't funny...
But she got too tired to stay up any longer.
Claire: Where were you last night?
William: I had somethings to take care of.
Claire: What kind of things?
William: Don't worry about it, just had to help a few people..
Claire: You're acting strange.
William: So are you..
Claire: That makes no sense.
William: Right.
Claire: I'm going for a walk...
William: What's that over there?
Claire: Where?
While Claire looked behind, William pelted her with a snowball.
Claire: That wasn't very nice.
William: Never said I was nice..
Claire: I'm gonna hurt you for that one..
Claire: I feel like I'm being watched...
William: You have a little friend behind you.
Behind Claire was a lonely wild horse who decided to sneak a peek on the couple.
Claire: Seriously, where were you last night?
William: Please stop asking.Its nothing to be concerned with.
Claire: Fine...I'll ask Ella, I know she knows, and I know she can't keep a secrete.
William: Don't you dare...
Claire: I will when we get home..
William tried to distract Claire by building a snowman with her.XD
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Claire and William spent the morning watching the snow fall gently.
Nothing like a little romance in the winter XD.
later that day...
Claire: Cedric, please stop crying.You're stressing mommy.
William: Don't stress Claire, he'll stop.
Claire: I really don't wanna sit in this chair all day Cedric, go to sleep.
Of course with that command, the baby went to sleep.
William: Wait...Cedric wake up.
And again the baby woke up.
William: That lying...He tricked me...
Claire: Tricked you how? Who?
William: Its nothing...I have to go check on something.
Night was approaching and he could feel it coming.
Claire: Let me come with you, I can help.
William: No! Stay here Claire, that's an order.
Claire: Alright....You're moody and cranky.What has gotten into you?
William: Nothing.
Claire could see his personality was changing.He wasn't himself...
William ran as quickly as he could away from the castle.
William: Again....
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Claire: Ella, what is wrong with William lately? Something's not right.
Ella: I'm not at liberty to say, Your majesty.I made a promise.
Claire: Ella, He's not here right now, I'm in charge.Tell me right now.
Ella: I won't say why he's out there, but a little birdie told me his favorite spot is down by the river.
You're cape is over there -cough- you know -cough- If you're seeking adventure.
Claire: Ella, you know me all too well.
Claire: William? If you're trying to make me worry, like I made you worry...Its working.I get it...Its not a nice feeling now come
out now...
Claire heard a low growl in the woods, out of the shadow appeared what to be a werewolf.
Claire: Stay away!...Someone help..
The werewolf approached Claire cautiously....then started sniffing her quite inappropriately.
Claire: What are you doing? Are you sizing me up for lunch? Get back.She gave it a slap on the nose.
bad! No!
The poor guy wined like a lost puppy.
Claire: Don't give me that look.Its not nice to try and eat people...She noticed his eyes...
Claire: Wait a minute...
Only William ever looked at her that way...
Claire: ....William?
Claire: It is you, isn't it? Maker what happened to you?
William collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, bringing Claire down with him.
Claire: Maker's breath! What did he do to you?!
William whined a little.As a werwolf, he wasn't able to speak, all he could do is look at his queen.
Claire: This is all my fault.Everything that's happened...I'm so sorry...
William could see the hurt and pain lingering in Claire's eyes.He gently wiped the tears away, trying to comfort his wife.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
When they arrived back at the castle, Claire tackled her husband to the ground playfully.
Claire: I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.
Of course sunrise meant transformation again.
William: This is starting to get to be a bit too much, even for me.
Before he could even get downstairs to the dining hall, Cedric decided he wanted to eat first.
Ryder: (Neighs) Look at that pretty white lady over there, she's a real beauty.-neighs- Think I have a chance.
Wildfire: (neighs) back off stud, that lady is my wife and mother to sable.Don't make me stick my hoof up your rear.
The Royal family decided to take a ride out to the woods to get firewood.
Claire was lost in thought, not speaking very much.
Duncan: My queen, you feeling alright? You're awfully quiet.
William: He's right.You're not yourself today.
Claire: I'm okay, just enjoying the ride..
Claire signaled for Wildfire to speed up, they went galloping off.
William: Would you wait for us?
William: Claire....Maker's breath, not this again...
William: Alright, what's wrong? You only take off like that when you're upset, worried or angry about something.So which is it?
Claire: None of the above.I just wanted to go faster that's all.
Duncan rolled his eyes, he heard that before.
Claire: I'm heading home now.
William: Not without me, I'll ride in front.Thank you.
Claire: -rolls eyes-
Wildfire: Lady can ride in front all she wants.That is one beautiful moon she has.-neighs-
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
William: Claire? You're packing? Where are you going?
Claire: I got a letter from my mother this morning, she wants me to come spend the holidays with her.
William: Really? Shouldn't she come here, so you can be with your family?
Claire: Please don't start.I'm all she has.
William: I understand that.But it would be no trouble to have her come here.Duncan could go ride with her.
Claire: I don't think that's best...giving our current situation with what you're going through.She's not exactly keen on our
relationship to begin with.
William: That's a little rude, don't you think?
Claire: Yes, but it is what it is.Can't change her opinion.But she really wants to see me.I have to go now, I'll be back next week.
William: Next week?! The entire week?
Claire: Yes, William.Christmas is next week..
Claire scurried out the door as quickly as she could.And just in the nick of time to.
William: And here we go again..
Claire: Good horse, I hope you know the way, I'm not a hundred percent certain.
Claire: Maker's breath, its freezing out here.I didn't wear enough layers.
Claire: Alright, I don't recognize this...Wildfire, where are we?
Claire: Maybe I could get directions...
Claire: Excuse me sir, Could you give me directions to Lake Whispers please?
Merchant: M'lady, you're miles from Lake Whisper, I fear.You're welcome to board here for the night, weather is expected to be rough the next few hours.
Claire: That is very kind, thank you.
Claire: Now that I have directions, hopefully we won't get lost.Let's go see mother.
Two hours later...
Claire: Should almost be there...I know Wildfire, I'm tired to.
Fantine: Claire. I'm so glad you could come.I wasn't sure if you would.
Claire: I had a hard time getting past William...He wanted you to come to the castle.
Fantine: Well, that was kind.But I rather have you visit me, darling.
Claire: This is nice.Motherly, daughterly time.By the way, Mother, you're a grandmother...Cedric.
Fantine: What? When.
Claire: few weeks ago.It would be nice if you came to see the baby.
Fantine: I would love to....You seem worried.What's wrong.
Claire went on to explain everything with Cornelious and now with williams curse.
Fantine walked over, thumbing the window for quite sometime.
Fantine: Werewolf huh? Those creatures are dangerous Claire.Is it best that you're there around him in this position?
Claire: Dangerous? Mother, he's my husband.He wouldn't hurt a fly, he's been nothing but gentle and kind.
Fantine: Yes, but before long those wolf instincts will bear their ugly teeth, no pun intended.
Claire: Mother!
Fantine: Just saying.I don't want my daughter getting hurt, and your baby...
Maybe you two could come here for a while until he gets himself fixed...
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Claire: I'm making pie mum, want some?
Fantine: Sure! But let's go outside for a bit first.
Claire: Mother, look behind you.A dragon!
Fantine: Maker's breathe, where!? Where?!
Claire pelts Fantine with an icy cold snowball right in her noggin.
Fantine: Child, you're going to regret that move.
After about 30 minutes of running through the snow, the ladies decided some tea and pie were in order.
William: I think this is the right house Lady.
William was missing Claire too much, so he decided to pay a visit.
Fantine: Someone's outside Claire.Would you mind seeing who it is?
Claire(in background): Of course.
Claire: William?! What are you doing here?
William: I missed you.Thought perhaps I could spend the holidays with you.
Claire: William, I'm trying to spend sometime with my mother.You know? To bond with her?
William: And? You can't bond with your husband around?
William: I think we should spend the holidays together Claire.If your mother doesn't want to come to the castle, I don't mind
coming here.As long as I'm with you.
He went to caress her cheek, but she pulled away quickly.
William: What's wrong?
Claire: I just want some one on one time with my mother, that's all.She invited me out here so we could bond, please go home.
I will be back after the holidays.
William: Go home? You're seriously asking me to leave? But Claire...
Claire: Please...If you love me, you'll go home for me? Please?
William: You're going to pull that stunt on me? That's not very nice.
I'll go.I'm sorry that I just wanted to spend time with you..I'll see you after the holidays.
Claire: Please stop that.I'll spend Easter with you? Valentines Day? All those other holidays to get that look off your face?
please?
William: I guess, this is goodbye until after the holidays..
Claire: I'll be back right after the holidays.I promise.
William: Sure...
William rode off toward home, but he didn't get too far before..
The sun set and it was time for transformation again.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Claire arrived home early the next morning, and received a welcome from William.
William: I missed you to....
Claire: Cedric, please stop crying.Mommy doesn't feel well...I think I'm gonna throw up...
William: Are you alright?
Claire: No....I need to go lay down..
Ella: Is Claire alright?
William: I don't think so, I think she's running a fever.
Ella gently placed her hand on Claire's head.
Ella: She is.I'll go fix some medicine.
William: Thank you Ella.You take good care of us.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Claire was taking a walk in her quiet spot, when William decided to join her.
William: Uh-oh, something's wrong.You only come here when something's up.
Claire: Just contemplating about things.
William: Like what?
Claire: I don't wanna talk..
William: Of course you don't.
Claire: What's that suppose to mean?
William: It means what you want it to mean.
Claire: You want me to talk? You'll have to catch me first.XD
Claire took off,playfully running as fast as she could.
Claire: What? can't keep up? That's okay, I'm an expert at running.
William: Maker's breath, you run like the devil is after you.Hey Claire, look over there!
Claire: Where? I don't see anything.
William: I must have thought I saw something, but look at this.
Claire: Maker, William, I'm gonna hurt you.
William: And that, dear lady is what I call karma.
William: Now...Come here!
Claire: Why?
William: This is why..
William: You wanted to see us Ella?
Ella: Yes.
Claire: What can we do for you?
Ella: I found a cure for your "Issue" Your highness.
William: You did?! Please do it.
Claire: That's wonderful, yes Ella please do so.
Ella: I would, Queen. But....I need some rather unusual ingredients.
William: Like what?
Ella: 1.The Cow as white as milk. 2.The Cape as red as blood.3.The Slipper as pure as gold, 4.The hair as yellow as corn.
I would need these by the next full moon, which is in 7 days.
Claire: That is an odd shopping list..
Ella: I don't write these, I just use them.
Claire: Well, it looks like I'm off to find ingredients.
William: Let's go.
Claire: No, you need to stay here.I will do this, this is my problem..
William: The curse is on me Claire, we should do it together.
Claire: No, the curse is my fault to begin with and I will get the ingredients.Please stay with Cedric.
Now...What was it that we needed?
William: You don't remember? The cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the slipper as pure as gold, the hair as yellow as corn.
Claire:(Repeating): The cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the slipper as pure as gold, the hair as yellow as corn.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
William: I really want to help you Claire.
Claire: I'll do this on my own.The cow as gold corn, wait the cape as yellow.
WIlliam:(rolls eyes) the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the slipper as pure as gold, the hair as yellow as corn.
Claire: Got it.
few hours later....
Claire: The slipper as white as milk...the cape as gold as corn...no that's not the right...
William: -sighs- the cow as white as milk.
Claire: What are you doing here?! I said to stay home.
William: You don't control me Claire, and don't ever talk to me like that.I'm helping
I'm the one cursed.
Claire: I'm doing this myself, go home.
William: I'm done with your nonsense, I'm helping and tat's an order.
Wildfire: (neighs) here they go again...
Lady:(neighs) so childish these two.
Claire: Fine, but don't expect me to speak to you.
William: Fine.Close up and run away like you always do.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
William: Claire, look over there.
Claire: Didn't I say I wasn't speaking to you, and I'm not falling for that again just to be pelted.
William: Maker's breath, would you just look.
Claire turns to see a small figure quickly approaching in the distance.
Claire:(Whispers) the cape as red as blood.
Little Girl: Hi, I really hate to ask it, but do you have a basket miss?
Claire: What do you need a basket for?
Little Girl: I'm taking some baked goods to my granny, she's sick in bed.
William: Its a little dangerous for a young girl to be out on her own.
Little Girl: Mama said if I stayed on the path I'd be alright.But I dropped all my belongings over yonder
and I could use a basket.
Claire: I do have one.Let me fetch it, that's a lovely cloak you're wearing.
Little Girl: Thank you.My granny made it for me on my 7th birthday!
Claire: By chance you wouldn't have a spare one would you?
Little Girl: No, why?
Claire: I kind of need
William: Ahem....
Claire: We kind of need a cloak like that.Would you be willing to trade it for something else to wear?
Little Girl: Um, it depends on what it is.
Claire: Here take these.My mother made them for me for the holidays.I can part with them and her basket if we could
trade for the cloak.
Little Girl: I know you! You're the Queen! And this must be your prince.
Claire: King, actually.But yes.
Little Girl: -gestures for claire to come closer.(whispers): Nice find in the king.You got a cute boy with you.
William: ha.
Claire: Yes, I know.
Little Girl: Here take the cloak! Thanks for the hood and cape.Good luck with what it is your doing.
William: Thank you.Be careful out here.
Little Girl: I will.
William: You gave up your gift from your mother for me?
Claire: Yeah, well it had to be done.
William: That means a lot to Claire, I know you want to be close with your mother.
Claire: Yes, well I know you don't want to be in your position forever either.
William: I love you Claire.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Ella: King, Queen, you're back.Did you get the ingredients?
William: Well...We got two of them.
Claire: Three.
William: Two, The cape as red as blood and the hair as yellow as corn.
Claire: And the slipper as pure as gold.
Claire lifted her dress to reveal her shoes.
Claire: A gift from my mother, but you're welcome to use them.
Ella: Perfect!
William: We're missing the cow.
Ella: Actually I took the liberty of doing that, all I needed was milk from the cow.
Claire: How long is this going to take?
Ella: Not long, bout a half hour?
William: Do hurry Ella.
Ella: I'm trying my best here.
Ella: All done.Are you ready? We need to wait until your in werewolf form..
William: Yes!
Claire: I know that look.Its his, "If this don't work Ella, I'm gonna kill you" look.
Ella: Please have more faith in me.Sheesh.
And William took one huge gulp.It certainly wasn't chocolate by no means, but it wasn't overly gross either.
And with that, His curse was lifted.
Claire: Ella, you're a life saver.
William: She certainly is.Thank you, We can't say that enough.
Ella: It was no trouble.
Duncan: Oh, you helped Ella? Well let me thank you as well.
Claire: Ahem...I'm still standing here...
Ella: Perhaps, you owe your man one as well?
William's curse was lifted just in time, as Cedric turned 1 year old today.
Just enjoying dinner after a stressful night.
William: Are you coming to bed?
Claire: Shh, I don't want to get up.He's sleeping.I'll be over here in a little bit.
William: Alright.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Claire: Good night, Cedric.Mommy loves you.
The child whined and fussed for about 10 minutes until he went out like a light.
the next morning...
Ella: Claire, I can take care of teaching Cedric to talk, walk and potty train.
Claire: Thank you Ella, but I would rather do it.I'm the mother.
Ella: Are you sure? I really don't mind, I'm here to help.
William: Ella, its no use trying to argue.Claire is gonna do what Claire wants to do.
Claire: He knows me all too well.
Ella: Alright then.
First day of Spring and it still looked like the dead of winter.
Duncan: I'm freezing.Do we have to do this now?
William: Yes.Stop whining and start training.
Duncan: Yes, You're majesty.
William: Excellent block Duncan.
Duncan: I don't know, you're pretty good yourself.
William: Practice.
Cedric finally learned how to talk and now it was time to walk.
William: Alright, Cedric.Come to daddy.
William: That's my boy.
Ella: Are you sure you don't want me to do that?
William: I think I'll join my wife and do it myself.Thank you Ella.
Ella: Okay, I just kind of feel bad making you both do it.
William: Don't feel bad.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
William: Alright, Cedric.Let's try this again.
After hours of training, Cedric can finally walk on his two legs.
William: Let's take Cedric out to the festival.
Claire: Alright, I could use some air.
William: Why are you setting our son on the ground?
Claire: I see something shiny...
William: Maker's breath, you and your objects.
Claire: It wasn't anything shiny I wanted....
William: Next time you won't pick up foreign objects will you?
Ella: I'm sorry Claire, but I think Duncan is gonna beat your husband at horseshoes.
Claire: He probably could..
William: Thanks for the support My lady.
Claire: Anytime dear husband.
Duncan: My Queen, Your son is about to run out the gate.
William: What?!
Claire: Oh Cedric! get back here!
Before she could turn around, Cedric was off, like a little race horse.
William managed to catch up with him.
William: Please don't tell me you're going to be a runner like your mother.
Maker, I can't keep up with two of you.
William: I think this belongs to us.
Claire: Cedric! Don't take off like that, you scared me!
William: Like all the times you scared me with your running wild.
Ella: Ha! He's got you there.
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
Just a little alone time in the castle...
Next morning, the royal family took a walk.
Claire came out of the library with a horrid look on her face, while playing with a Cedric, a messenger boy approached her, handing her
a letter.Her mother had been killed overnight when her cottage was attacked.
William: Claire? What's wrong? I know that look.
She didn't say any words, but instead ran off toward home.
William: Not again.Claire?!
William: Where are you going?
Claire: I have to go to my mother's as soon as possible.I will be back as soon as I can.
William: I'm coming with you..
Claire: No...I really have to go alone this time, no exceptions
William: Why? Claire? Okay...
Claire: Mother! Oh maker!
Claire ran to her mother, trying to break her free from the rubble.
William: Maker! What happened?
Claire: What are you doing here William?
William: I wanted to make sure you're okay.
Claire: No, I'm not...
William: Here, give me that..
Claire: No! Just let me do it
Claire: Mother....
William: Claire, come on talk to me.
Claire:(Angry) No! Just..Let me be lone.
William gently grabs claire by the arms.
William: Claire...Claire stop..Being angry isn't going to bring your mother back.
Claire:....
William: I know you feel alone....but you're not alone Claire....You have me..

William: Claire, almost time for breakfast.
Claire: Yes, I know.Come on Cedric.
William: Are you alright? You haven't said a word since your mother's funeral.
Claire: No, I'm not.But I will be...
William: Come here...I'm...sorry Claire.
Claire felt a little better and decided to get ready for breakfast...
Claire: I look horrible..I can't get my hair to stay.
William: You look beautiful, stop fussing.
Claire: I'm not fussing..
William: I want to show you something.
Claire: What?
William: This...
after breakfast...
Claire: I'm really okay, taking a ride by myself.
William: Yes, I'm well aware of that, but I'm coming anyways.No arguements.
Claire: Okay, fine.
William: Is that a dragon?
Claire: Oh, dragon.Where?
When Claire looked to see, William took off.
Claire: That's cheating! Come on Wildfire.
Claire: Wow, He's really improved his riding skills.
William: What took you so long? Claire can't keep up?
Claire: Funny...
They spent the afternoon watching the wild horses, the much needed alone time they were longing for.

The wild horses apparently enjoyed their company, giving Claire and William a breathtaking show.
Wild Horse: Neighs, can I have that apple?
They especially loved Claire for some particular reason and wouldn't stop following her.
Just a random shot that I liked.Claire on one side, William on the other.
Claire: Oh a seed?! Don't mind if I do.
Just a little romance before heading home.
the next morning....
William: Happy love day Claire!
Claire: Aww, they're beautiful.You didn't have to.
Cedric just playing with some blocks.Not much for a toddler to do.
Claire: Cedric, please stop crying...Would you mind putting that book down and helping me.
William: You're doing a fine job on your own.
Claire: Thanks for that.-rolls eyes-
After Cedric was through with his temper tantrum.Claire and William headed to the beach.
Of course it started raining and they headed home...But Claire, as always, got distracted.
William: Claire, I'm getting soaked.
Claire: Just a minute...Don't mind if I do.
William: I'm standing in thunder and lightning so you can pick random seeds?
Claire: Is there a problem with that?
William: Yes...I'm getting soaked.

William: Its nice getting to spend alone time together Claire.Sometimes I feel left out, you do know that right?
Claire: Honestly, no I didn't realize you were feeling left out...I'm sorry..
William: You know how you can make amends?
Claire: How?
Claire: You're being real flirty right now..
William: I'm just getting started...
Claire: Okay...Stop, I can't take much more..
William: Let's go somewhere more private...
Claire: You read my mind.

Duncan: Lancelot, May I introduce your King and Queen., Your Majesties, your new First Knight, Lancelot.
William: Its nice to meet you Lancelot, We need all the help we can get.
Lancelot: The pleasure is mine King William.
Ella: (in distance) Cedric stop that! Get back here.
William: Excuse me for a moment.
Lancelot: And its a real pleasure to meet you, Queen Claire. I've heard so much about you.
Claire: You have? Might I ask what you've heard?
Lancelot: How Praaven has the most beautiful Queen around, and How the Queen has sense of adventure.
Claire: Really?
Lancelot: Yes, and I can see that it were not a lie, Praaven indeed has a beautiful Queen.
Now, if you'll excuse me your Highness, I'm sure your husband would like to meet with me.
Claire: Of Course.
