An Agreement Most Foul:
The Evil Queen is her room when her father enters which she notices. Regina asks, "daddy I know you don't like what I did but something had to be done about him and I now my only problem is his little precious flake of snow".
Walt answered, "sweetheart I just think their different approaches to problems, then the ones you have been taking".
Regina answered, "but daddy these methods get results and are a lot quicker, don't you want me to be happy".
Walt responded, "of course I do, it's just with after the murder of the King, then the sudden death of his heir, you'll look to blame, and it will make the people hate you".
Regina insisted "the people will come to see that I saved them from the monster of Snow White and love me for it".
Walt rejected her "sweetheart, they won't, and all Snow White will be is a martyr for them to hate you. So, find another way".
Regina relented "daddy if you have a better idea, please share it because I do listen to you".
Walt admitted "I don't have one at the moment but let's try to think of one".
Regina stated, "until you do, I'll continue with the plan I already have".
Regina left and Walt went to the magic mirror and asked, "I need help with my daughter that doesn't involve killing Snow White and I only know one mind who loves Regina enough and is also devious enough to think of one".
The magic mirror insisted "not her, you know what the Queen will do to me if she finds out about her".
Walt admitted "I know but this is for my daughter, and I'll do anything for her".
The magic mirror showed Cora Rose in Wonderland and once she realised, she immediately began "oh Walt, what a surprise. I never thought to see you contacting me".
Walt answered "I wouldn't but it's for our daughter and you are the one that put her into this, so you need to be the one to help her. She's Queen because of you and just killed the King but now wants to kill Snow White and you and I both know that if she does that, then it doesn't matter how much power she has, the people will always despise her, and Snow White will become a symbol.
Cora Rose listened "power is everything Walt, but you need to be smart about it and Regina is not acting smart. She is acting vengeful and normally I would suggest just ripping Snow White's heart out and crushing it but that wouldn't solve anything especially just after the King's death".
Walt asked, "Cora Rose do you have any ideas".
Cora Rose stated "of course I do, and I'll do anything for my daughter, now she needs to get rid of Snow White and get the people's love. Now the easiest way to get the love of the people is by providing for them and a spectacle for them to admire. Like a wedding".
Walt stated, "Regina will not go for another marriage".
Cora Rose corrected him "not for her but for Snow, a handsome Prince to take her away from here and live happily ever after".
Walt argued "a happy ending for Snow White, now that's the one thing she is trying to avoid".
Cora Rose proclaimed, "well if something tragic happened to the happy couple when they were on the move to his castle then they would both be dead, the people will love her and see her as blameless and their true ruler, and a partnership between two kingdoms, getting rid of unwanted weight".
Walt stated, "what kingdom would even consider that deal especially losing a Prince".
Cora Rose insisted "no need to worry about that, King George has lost his son and replaced him with a twin, so he won't care if he lives or dies and if the old trade agreement is put back into place, then he'll agree to our plan which will help both us and him".
Walt stated, "I hate to agree to this, but it needs to be done for Regina".
Cora Rose left, and Walt went to get Regina and informed her "I have a plan darling that will solve all of our problems, we marry Snow White off to the son of King George and while they are on the way a tragic accident might occur in which Snow White doesn't survive and you are here completely blameless and still providing the kingdom with the old trade deal which benefited both kingdom. The people will love you and see you as the proper ruler and the tragedy of Snow White's death being an unfortunate accident".
Regina smiled and said, "thank you daddy, you are the only one I truly love and have always thought of me".
Walt stated, "I'll arrange the deal with King George while you inform Snow White about the good news".
Regina interrupted "and plan her unfortunate demise".
