The Christmas party (S1 Ep.13-13)

Seth: Milady! – Stood up and extended his hand. – I believe you do have a ball waiting for you!

Rose: I do! - With some shyness, I put my hand on his and with a gentle gesture, he helped me lift. - Will I see you there?!

Seth: I'm on duty. I'm afraid I don't have the opportunity…

Rose: Please!? - I didn't want to have said that, but the truth is that with him around I felt safe, less confused.

Smiled at me without agreeing to my request. I realized I haven’t convinced him. He accompanied me to the gate. Saying goodbye gave me a kiss on the back of my hand.

I did all the way home involved in my thoughts. I felt more relaxed. I haven't found the answers I was looking for, but I think I found what I needed.

When you get home, Charlie was sitting on the couch ...

Charlie: The Princess still like that?! I thought you were gone ...

Rose: Are you waiting for mom?

Charlie: Is finishing to dressed up. If you hurry you still catch a ride.

Rose: Thanks, Charlie.

Faster than any other day. I took a shower, I stretched, in a hurry, the hair, put two prisons, one on each side, put the dress and was ready.

With Charlie and mother, we followed to the city's Christmas party. The girls are about to act, the tables are full of appetizers and my only desire, to see him again ... Just like in my dream ...

"Mikhael: Milady? - Extending his hand invited me to dance. – Will you give me this honour?

I looked into his eyes, glowed like diamonds and my wish was to give in…

Katarina: Milord. – With a bow, I assented to his request and to the music we were dancing. Only we were here and only we understand this feeling, which took over every step of the way…"

Joan: Rose!? – With her call burst the fantasy with which I was dreaming with my eyes open.

Rose: Hum…

Joan: Are you all right?

Rose: I am Joan, something's wrong? - I wonder if anybody else saw me in her grandmother's House?

Joan: Can I talk to you? It's only for a moment.

Rose: Of course, talk!

Joan: Can you accompany me to the balcony?

Rose: Right now? – The girls were playing, but Joan has not undone her intention. –You first! - With a gesture of my hand, I indicated the way.

Joan: I know that you don't understand why I try to save you from the reality in which I live. I can only imagine the mess you're going through ...

Rose: Mikhael, or teacher Seth, or how wherever name you call him, told you about my visit of today…

Joan: What? – Stressed the eyebrow indicating not knowing what I was talking about.

Rose: What is he to you anyway? Why does he protect you so blindly?

Joan: Rose, are you okay? You look weird.

Rose: And who's to blame? Me, of course! I put my trust in the wrong people…

Joan: I know you think so, but ... - sighed deeply. - There was a time when this world was different. Magical creatures roamed for these lands. The sun reflected each colour of nature and with the sun rising on the horizon several was the flowers that smile to it. The huge gardens, the union between people. Happiness and purpose were two of the words that describe well that time. Each one was born with a gift and with their growing, it developed. There was no minor, nor major, just those who cared for and protected. As the Royal family, powerful beings, endowed with the gifts of spirituality. To them fit the task to keep the balance between nature and man. At this time, a simple country girl captivated the attention of the Prince. He used to be the most coveted of the boys, was at parties, dances, all the brides to be wanted to dance with him, hoping to be chosen. But, in a Royal parade, he saw this girl, running through fields, free, playing with the kids. He never saw her before. Didn’t remember her face in any ball. “Why” intrigued him, stirred his curiosity. So the prince, leaving his clothes rich in adornments, disguised himself as a peasant. Wanted to get to know her without the weight of his Crown. In all the days of harvesting, he appeared with simple clothes, helping in the harvests. The Prince fell in love with the free girl of the field. And she loved him with all her life. The simplicity had captivated both and, though the Prince's secret was about to be revealed, his love was true and always believed he could break down barriers with this feeling.

Rose: What happened?

Joan: Anastacia at first didn't believe what she had heard, how he could have lied. So she believed, but the truth ...

Rose: ... He never lied, changed his clothes, that's all! - Joan smiled and continued.

Joan: Exactly. The Prince made his future Princess see that his love was true, that he was the same as she had met, only his clothes changed, but if she wanted he would leave his actual commitments and would be every day in the field to her side. With simplicity and generosity, Anastacia understood. The Prince had asked her to marry him and both families were overjoyed. The Prince's younger sister, the Infanta Rebecca, had just won a new sister. Since then they became great friends. With the Royal Wedding celebration and the good harvests, the people were happy. But with their prosperity and wealth envy around grew. In a tragic night and forever remembered in their memoirs, they were persecuted, crucified, accused of witchcraft attached with the darkness ...

Rose: Who pursued them?

Joan: A group of inquisitors stood on hidden waiting for the right moment to attack. They were well informed, their weapons were protected, their shots were hits. Princess Anastacia had surrendered her life to save her people and her beloved, but by the time of her captured the Prince had already surrendered. Both were endowed with purity and courage without equal. These people lived under the principle of "live and let live" and were able to give their own life so that others might live under peace.

Rose: What happened to them? Did they died?!

Joan: Prince Mikhael was forced to see his sweet Princess execution.

Rose: Mikhael? – The tears were encroaching on my eyes. - Anastacia ... - and then I remembered the moment that he called me for Anastacia when he left me at home on that terrible evening. - I. .. No! I grew up in this world, where there is no magic!

Joan: Rose…

Rose: You are his sister? Rebecca?!

Joan: Yes, I am. ..  And you, my dear, you are Anastacia...

Rose: No, no, no… Don't call me that. Does Dianne know this story?

Joan: Yes! No, I mean. It's not just a story, Rose. She has no memory.

Rose: Has no memory? What do you mean? What did you do?

Joan: Please, let me continue…

Rose: Did you know she thinks that Anastacia is in danger? Even Mario asked me if I knew who would be Anastacia! She was with them the day of the accident.

Joan: I didn't know, Rose!

Rose: I'm not your Anastasia! I was with you that day, remember?

Joan: Rose!

Rose: Please Joan gives me space. I need to breathe.

Joan: Tell me what can I do?!

Rose: Elizabeth… Elizabeth said that I took my own life, that she met me as Katarina. What did she mean?

Joan: This is not the first time that you return to us. With the repeat of the alignment of the Sun and moon of your incarnation, your reincarnation appears. I took your memories of your past life… Of your past lives. I couldn't bear to lose you again this way so tragic.

Rose: Again? You couldn't bear to lose me again? Why would I hurt myself?

Joan: To recover the memories of your past lives you must live them in fractions of seconds. It’s overwhelming for your emotions, your ideas are lost in time until you have all the temporary course completed. The first time you came back, it was the first time for all of us…

Rose: For all of us?! Who else suffers from this done?

Joan: To be able to perform the ritual which will keep us united for the eternity the guardians gave their lives on the night of the attacks to the Castle, staying connected to the return of the guardian of Life ... The Guardian, Princess Anastacia.

Rose: What happened the first time?

Joan: You got mad! Started screaming nonsense. You were forced into treatment, trapped in the madhouse! But you did manage to get out of the House of God. Somewhere near the sea, the only thing that would calm you down. I didn't come in time ... You wrote a letter, saying you couldn't stand living like that, living in the illusion. He wasn't real, the fire consumed you and... that you expect to have our forgiveness. Nonsense, so I thought ... That afternoon your body was found at the end of the cliff on the rocks ... "by the sea". - The tears fell through the eyes of Joan. - A few years later the remaining guardians started losing their vitality, then I learned the cost of magic. I took the magic of your essence and your memories, hoping that when you return once again would be faster and gradually you would accept your true nature. However ... When you meet Mikhael everything changed, your love has struggled to join you two since then...

Rose: I see him in my dreams! He is an illusion that you created…

Joan: No Rose, he is real! He has been waiting for you for more than a Millennium!
