Clarisse felt even worse sat in parliament, the only thing discussed was Mia's impending marriage to Andrew the following day, rubbing in the fact that Clarisse couldn't marry Joseph seemed to be the only purpose of this.
'So, everything for tomorrow shall run smoothly, no changing her mind, love has nothing to do with it!' Lord Palimore was saying, Clarisse sighed
'If you will excuse me gentlemen, I have some final arrangements for tomorrow.' She left the stand and walked out, once the door was closed behind her she collapsed to the floor and began to cry. He watched her, wondering what was on her mind, he assumed it was stress about the next day.
'Your majesty, you probably shouldn't sit here, they will all come out shortly and find you here.'
'Oh Joseph, I'm sorry'
'For what ma'am?' He said as he led her back upstairs
'You know what I mean! I've thought about it a lot! That was why I was crying back there!' she sighed 'you know that I love you! I'm just scared! I don't know what to do at the minute! It's scary giving up being queen, even if a lot of the time I hate it!' she stopped and took his hands 'I want to marry you Joseph! But I need to make sure Mia will be ok as my successor; I know she will be a great queen, but everyone needs to see that! As soon as I know she can for certain I can say yes! Please understand! I can't loose you!'
'I'm sorry ma'am, as I said, I have waited my life, I'm not prepared to wait any longer!' Joseph left her stood alone and lost.
