"The Second is Harvey Dankworth of Ashbourne and the third, is Mikael Skyway," said the Queen.
"Mikael? General Commander Mikael?"
"Yes, you know him?' asked the Queen.
"Not really, his name is quite popular among the ladies," said Moon
"Mikael is a darling," said Eleanor before looking in their direction. That's him over there."
"Asher's opponent? His skills are smooth," mumbled Moon
"How do you know that?' inquired the Queen.
"I just know, he moves flawlessly and strikes like a pro,' said Moon, making the Queen look at her with a bright smile.
She knew Moon wasn't aware of what she was saying and didn't have any knowledge. It seems she wasn't aware of her knowledge in this even though she had never learned it.
She hadn't trained, nor had she seen a fight, except for the day she was called to give her idea in war affairs. She had seen soldiers training but she didn't bother to check them out, she had only walked past them.
But she was aware of how flawlessly Mikael moved while fighting.
"Asher isn't that bad, he is good also," said Moon as she faced the Queen.
"Let me show you my garden," uttered Eleanor before taking Moon by the hand and leading her to her garden. "I care for this garden myself."
"Wow… this is beautiful, Your Majesty," said Moon.
"I know," said Eleanor, feeling proud of herself.
"Come." Moon was led to a patio, tea and cakes were served and Moon enjoyed it all.
"Have you thought of how you want your wedding?" asked the Queen.
"No, Your Majesty. I thought the castle will prepare everything just like a Royal wedding would be?" said Moon.
"True, but I want to know how you prefer your wedding, My darling," said Eleanor.
"I haven't thought of that before," said Moon.
"You haven't? Do you prefer a loud wedding or a quiet one? Your choice will be considered," said the Queen with a smile.
"A quiet one. A friend of mine had a loud wedding and I felt uncomfortable even though it was fun," said Moon
'I'm glad I asked," uttered the Queen.
"Thank you for asking," said Moon as she smiled.
True, she hadn't thought of how she wanted her wedding to turn out to be, she had the thought of marrying alone. Now, she had a preference. She wanted the wedding to be a quiet one even though it was a Royal wedding and it was the Future Prince who was getting wedded. It was supposed to be the wedding of the year, a wedding that will shake the earth and heaven.
"But… Will it be possible?' asked Moon, the chances of having a quiet wedding were low.
"It will be, I will try my best to make it up to your preferences."
'I'd appreciate that."

When Harvey got to the council, he saw Aurora, who told him Otis left for the Castle. He hadn't told him of his plans to visit the council the previous day, so he understood.
"Otis told me,' said Aurora.
"Told you what, Lady Davison?"
"About the arrival of your betrothed. It's still quite shocking you are betrothed to Moon," said Aurora.
"You know Moon?" asked Harvey with a raised brow.
"She's my darling," said Aurora. Harvey raised his brows and chuckled.
"Who doesn't even know her," said Harvey.
"Moon, Otis, and I are childhood friends," said Aurora with a proud smile.
"You are?" questioned Harvey. He couldn't believe they knew Moon since childhood and he didn't.
"We are. So I will be related to the future queen of this Kingdom? Oh my!" said Aurora jovially. All of her actions were fake, she was pretending not to be aware of the betrothal in the first place. She was pretending to be happy for Moon when within her, she was scared for her. She was scared that her fragile darling was going to get broken. She was scared of her heart, would she be able to stop her heart from falling for the prince only for it to be shattered?
She knew her Moon, she was a strong lady but at times, she could be weak. She could get weak and would want to rely on the person next to her which was the Prince, and after she did, how would she survive if he left her alone?
Harvey tsk before he muttered, "You've been related to me for a long time."
"I have? I can't remember," uttered Aurora as she pretended to rack her brain while scratching her hair.
"You are annoying," said Harvey before he scoffed.
"What are you doing here, Your Highness?" asked Aurora after they were done playing.
"Now we are back to business,' said Harvey. "I heard from the magistrate about some death occurring at the frozen valley," mumbled Harvey.
Aurora pinched her brows before she ushered Harvey into her office in the big council.
"Your Highness," bowed some officials as they walked past them.
When they got to Aurora's office, she pulled a chair for Harvey before she sat.
"The death at the frozen valley is been investigated but…" said Aurora, not completing her speech.
"But? Aurora speak. The magistrate told me that one or two bodies have been discovered there. What is going on?"
"Your Highness, you shouldn't bother yourself about this, we will deal with it," said Aurora.
"It's my Kingdom, I should be bothered and what do you mean by us? Are you part of the Judiciary court now?" inquired Harvey.
"I'm not, but we will sort it all out. Magistrate Kingsley is a sly man. There is a big possibility that he knows something about it," uttered Aurora.
"A possibility that he knows something about it? Get straight to the point Councilwoman Davison and stop going around in circles," said Harvey, frustratingly.
"Magistrate Kingsley was found returning from the frozen valley at the dead of the night. His actions were suspicious, Harvey," said Aurora
"Why was he there at that time? What was he doing there? Why did he go there? That's your question, right? You are wondering why he was there," said Harvey.
"Exactly."
"How did you know this?"
"I'm a Hunter," muttered Aurora with a smirk.
