Alistair nods glad he was giving time. He probably won't say anything after her father's funeral...right now she need to time to mourn over her father. It was the right thing to do at the moment there was no need to rush into a relationship right now. Even though there was a time limit before the queen's birthday. "I should let you get to the dinner room. I need to return to the chapel and get things ready. There is a lot of things I have to finish before tomarrow." says looking over at Junko.

"I understand just don't forget to eat okay? I don't want anyone else to get sick right now." she says to him while letting go of Alistair's hand to go get supper. yet deep down knew it mighty take 3 of the 4 months to mourn,over her father's death. Junko smiles at him before starting walk off the dinner room. knowing tomorrow would be a long one for everyone.

Alistair nods before he turns and leaves her room before he heads back to the chapel. He had a lot of things to do and it didn't seem there was a lot of time. Since he also have to think up an answer soon. There was still some things he was worried about...the elders have a history of changing their mind. What if they would refuse the queen's request? Or that he was send somewhere else? He wonder who really rule this kingdom. It was far different than he had read about when he was younger. Soon it was growing dark but Alistair was still up working he did forget about eating.

Queen Junko had gone ate some dinner yet she pick at her plate a few times. after dinner she went to go take a long hot bath. in her bathroom while in the bath tub she let her sorrow out. letting her self shed the tears she had held back before. some of the maids got worried hearing there young queen cry. yet left her a lone knowing she need time to mourn her father's death.

Once she was done she got dress then went to the chapel in her robe. Junko knows she should not do this. yet she wanted to pray with out anyone watching her. yet wonder if Alistair have had any dinner tonight? even if he did are did not she still worried about everyone under her care. she wonder if her people where morning there late kings death?

Alistair was asleep in his studies with his head on his desk. Papers all over the place and a tray with his food never even been touch. He normal did work without eating anything if it was something important as this.

(Sorry its short...writer block)

Junko prays quietly once she finish praying she starts to head back. to her bedroom to go get some rest yet knew. they day of her father funeral would be a long one. by the time she get's back to her bedroom she walks over to her bed. turn off the light get's in to the bed starts to cry her self to sleep. mostly this was one of her ways of mourning her fathers death.

Finally one of his helpers found the priest asleep at his desk and made him go to bed. Alistair takes a long shower and changes into his sleeping clothes then goes to bed. He needs his rest for the coming day.

The young soon to be queen was fast a sleep by now in her bed. trying not to dream about sad things in her dream land. Junko tried to dream about happy things are about how happy her parents are up in haven now.

The next day was here already and there was a different kind of energy around the kingdom. As everyone was about to say goodbye to their king while they mourn with the young queen. Alistair was still haven't a hard time knowing how close he was toward Junko. And that he had to choose once this was all over. He surely didn't want Junko to lose her birth right since Junko was unmarried and that was one law he never did like. Maybe once they are wed hoping she could get the elders to change the law about unwedded women have a chance to become queen without a husband.

Alistair finally gets up and heads toward the closet to put out his black robes. He pulls back his hair and fixes his priest hat onto his head as he finishes putting on the rest of his robes. Once he was finish he grabs his book and leaves his room before he makes his way toward the front of the chapel to greet the guests and all those who wanted to pay respects toward the late king and the royal family. He looks around as he hasn't saw Junko yet and was very worried about her.

Queen Junko had woken up later then she has ever had before. she had cried her self to sleep last night after waking up. in the middle of the early morning around 2 am form having a nightmare. at lest the young woman could not recall any of right now. her maids was trying to rush her today while making. the young queen put on fancy funeral clothes on as well her princess crown. they even bugged her a few times trying to make her ware some make up.

She kept crying so much they stop trying after the fifth time. her hair was down today not pulled up in to a up do. like her she normally wore her hair up on most days. soon she left heads for the chapel with her lady's in waiting. it takes them a while to get there cause they got stop a few times. by servants asking there young queen about things. that would need to get done with cleaning her fathers old room out. the late king had left a lot of things in his bedroom plus in his will.
