(Rose and Lucy exchange a few words and then she gazes upon Legion.)

Rose: Excuse sir, to whom should I give my salutes too?

(Lucy stutters)

Legion: My name is Drakoff, my pardons

Rose: None of it, please.

(She changes her form and Lucy becomes shocked of her appearance.)

Lucy: Wait since when you could change!?

Rose: Since you were born my dear, always.

Lucy: But I thought...

Rose: I only kept that little girl's image for Monika because she said that I looked less ... Serious. Plus, I knew that you would recognize me in that form. But now, the New Queen... Oh lords, she is a hand full but... She is our Queen and I serve the Crown, not the person who wears it. She prefers me in my normal look.

(She brushes her hair and fixes her dress)

Rose: She finds that we look alike.

(Rose giggles and Lucy admires her beauty)

Lucy: You are sooo pretty.... Wait... Wait!! Did you know I was here already? You sneaky Vampire, smelling my blood.

Rose: Mjm that's how I would always win in Hide and Seek. But then you learned some dead spell and I had lost your scent. Smart girl you are. And for you, handsome which region are you from? Never seen you around the Capitol or... Even smelled you.. Your scent is ... Peculiar... A mix. Strange.

(Lucy and Legion both get nervous. Rose can smell their sudden nervousness and knows that what he was going to say was a lie)

Legion: I'm from .... Ilydeum.

Rose: No need to be nervous, you know... I know you paused because you feel that we still have issues with your kind.

(She sneaks a wink at them both while the guards weren't looking)

Rose: But all are welcome, especially you my sweet Lucy. Now... Let's head to the Castle and prep a feast for you both.

(The guards look at each other and look at Rose)

Rose: I best NOT hear it.

(The guards stay quiet)

Guards: Our apologies.

Rose: Please escort us men. We need to eat, yummy.

(They proceed to the Castle. They exchange conversations and established her trust in Lucy and Legion in secret from the guards. Lucy and Legion feel the sudden cold chill down their spine once they reach the front gates.)

(As they reach the first gate to the castle, just the sight of the new guard's gear sends shivers down their spine. Even though Legion is a Lancer, he hasn't met the well determined, prepared and disciplined force of Veronika.)

Rose: I know that it has been a long time for you Lucy, but these are OUR new enforcement. These fellow men who accompany us are the city patrol. These beautifully prepared Guards here at the front gate and across the whole Castle Ground are our most Elite forms of Justice.

(Legion observes their gear)

Legion: It's ice.

Rose: The Queen's Ice. The strongest ice in all Oamni with the blessing of strength, speed and ... beauty. Style in battle is the best way to distract and strike fear into the enemy.

Lucy: You seem to enjoy this new Queen's doing, Rose.

(She says with an attitude)

Rose: But, is what you see before you any worse than Monika's force? No, it's better. That is the truth.

(They walk closer and both are amazed by the last set of defenses. The Gigan)

Rose: AND THESE ... Are the Gigans! Creatures formed from her Majesty. Her Children if you may call them that way.

Lucy: Amazing .... Absolutely amazing.

(The doors open, and they enter. After several hours of the tour, the bells ring and lunch is set. Once seated, Lucy and Legion notice that there is an empty chair.)

Lucy: Is that seat for ... Veronika?

Rose: Indeed, she will be on her way. Please, eat.

(They begin to eat, after 10 minutes Veronika comes down and takes her seat. She stares at them and Rose stays quiet.)

Legion: Your M..

(Both Rose and Veronika raise their hands.)

Veronika: Lucy and LEGION... Not Drakoff. You are a Lancer.... Lancer of The Heaven region. Now!! Listen to my Words. You have ONLY one choice at this because the second option... None of us want.

(The Elite guards come out of frost puddles that appear in the ground and they stand in place around the table. Legion is uneased but doesn't decide to go defensive. He knows that he doesn't have a chance.)

Veronika: Now that I have your attention for sure. You shall be my Lancer, the last one, Brock. Lost his life by the hands of Lumia. He fought... O..k. Lumia was obviously the more prepared and vicious fighter.

Legion: The Lancer Challenge...

Veronika: Yes, so now you are my Lancer or else you shall be sentence to jury for betrayal and abandonment of your duty. You decide.

NEW BEGINNINGS: PART 4

(Legion looks at Lucy and looks back at Veronika whom has her eyes fixated on him.)

Legion: But I was supposed to prot--

Veronika: She will be alright with my guards if that is your worry. Plus, Rose will be her Parental Guardian.

Lucy: EXCUSE ME!! Can I have a say in all of this?

(Veronika places the back of her hand under her chin and smiles)

Veronika: Go ahead doll.

Lucy: I don't feel like I need a Legal Guardian, I was able to fend for myself when I was younger and still can till this day. Alright!! I'm independent.

Veronika: Then so be it. Any request you ask them to Rose, do not disturb me with your nonsense. Now Legion, your answer.

Legion: Fine.

Veronika: Hhmp no questions, no resistance, excellent. Then you shall be reestablished as Lancer of The Capitol, LEGION.

(Veronika claps and all the Guards go back through their icy puddle. The Capitol symbol appears on Legion's neck like a tattoo. He looks at Lucy and she nods)

Lucy: I'll be ok...

Rose: You were under investigation anyways... Actions like that do not go unpunished unless well ... Queen Veronika saved your life, so be grateful. If it wasn't us to find you, someone would've.

Legion: Understood...

Rose: Training begins in three days, so Legion, have plenty of sleep because your new life will be a tough one.

(The Queen gets up and walks away. Rose nods and stands.)

Rose: So please, eat some more if you like, desert, fruit, anything. Welcome back to the Capitol My dear, if you need me just signal me.

(She turns into a bat and flies off.)

Legion: To New beginnings...

(He raises his glass)

Lucy: ... To new beginnings.

(They clash glass)
