Anna sighed softly knowing it was difficult for Elizabeth to talk about, besides, her mind must have been so occupied by the wedding to be thinking about such a sad thing. As she danced with Xavier, Anna looked up at Xavier with a saddened expression. "She was probably too focused on what was going on to think about it, but...when Elizabeth was a child, she only had one friend. He was a servant boy who grew fond of playing with her since there weren't any other children in the castle. There wasn't a time that they weren't together, some even thought they were in love...but one day...Elizabeth's curiosity got the best of her." Anna paused looking down for a moment and took another breath. "Back then, Elizabeth didn't understand that Lycans and Vampires were enemies...one day she and the boy were playing in the gardens at night, but when she heard a unusual sound...she had to know what was causing it. The boy tried to stop her, but...she wouldn't listen...that's when they ran into the forest off castle grounds to investigate. Elizabeth saw a real Lycan for the first time in her life, she was intensely fascinated by it, but..." Anna looked back up at Xavier, trying to keep herself under control from such a awful memory. "The Lycan was going to kill her knowing that she was the princess...thinking your father would be proud that the only child of the King and Queen of the enemy was dead. Elizabeth didn't have a chance against him, and her friend knew this. He...he saw the Lycan was going to attack her and pushed her out of the way taking the hit...he was mauled by the Lycan thinking he attacked the princess...right in front of her...luckily our guards noticed her absence and when searching for her. When they found them, the boy's body was brutally mauled and the Lycan was attacking Elizabeth...our guards killed him...but Elizabeth couldn't stop crying from the death of her only friend...for years she blamed herself...she was convinced it was her fault he died...that's why Elizabeth hated Lycans...that's why we couldn't tell her about your marriage, but it seems...after all these years she's finally learned to forgive..." Anna finished looking over to see her daughter smiling as she danced with Xavier's father.
