Once Will had gone, Rose remembered that she had planned the day to spend with her daughter.
She rushed off down to the kitchen where she had already ordered for the blue berry pie to be made.
Realizing she was not late, she was just about to personally call Corral when she saw her by the door.
"Corral." Rose said with surprise. "I was just about to get you myself.
She smiled and gave her a hug and did not notice the cold demeanor Corral brought along with her.
Rose walked to the large island here the bowls to mix and begin making the pie was.
Then a maid proceeded to help her wear the over but Rose declined and wore if herself.
Then she turned to Corral.
"I decided that we do it just like we used to when you were a child." Rose said with a smile on her face.
"Mother I am not doing this." Corral stated cleanly.
"Doing what? What is wrong?" Rose asked confused.
Corral waved her hand at the bowls. "This all of this. There is everything wrong with it. The whole you trying to recreate my childhood memories that you lost."
Rose felt a pang in her chest.
She gave a weak smile. "But you said you wanted this. You said you wanted us to start all over again."
Corral shook her head in irritation. "Please I did not want anything of it! It was you who insisted. You were the one who barged into my room and began demanding if you had abandoned me!"
The maids who were present and even the other kitchen staff had their head bowed trying to pretend like they were not listening.
Rose’s entire face fell.
"You had a fight with father didn’t you?!" Corral snapped rudely at her mother.
"Corral I don’t underst-
"YOU HAD A FIGHT WITH FATHER DIDN’T YOU?! ANSWER ME MOTHER!" Corral screamed.
"I did." Rose sighed.
And the corral burst into laughter.
She laughed so hard that they all thought she was insane.
Rose just stared unable to understand what was funny or what was happening.
Once Corral had finally caught her breath she turned to her mother.
"So it was true. You only spoke to me be cause you had your little disagreement with father and you ran to me who you thought you could easily manipulate just so you could be sure of yourself." Corral said. "I can not believe you mother. How low can you go?"
"Corral the argument with your father had nothing to do with yo-
"ENOUGH OF THE LIES MOTHER! ENOUGH OF THE BULLSHIT MOTHER!" Corral screamed breaking Rose’s heart even further. "You’re disgusting. To use me just for your gain. Take advantage of the fact that I was broken by you."
"Baby this is not true." Rose said lost for words. "None of this is true. I am your mother, I gave birth to you. I love you. Yes I had an argument with your father and it helped me realized what I was missing. I have been missing you and I have been so wrong to have abandoned you."
Corral scoffed and gave off a bitter laugh.
"Oh please Mother we both know that that is a lie." Corral waved her hand off. "You did not care about me. You never cared about me. You are trying to make me feel bad so that I could help you. That is all you wanted."
"What happened? What changed? You wanted this." Queen Rose pleaded.
"NOTHING HAPPENED!" Corral snapped. "And I never changed. You already thought that because you came up to me last night and gave me those silly little lies, that I would change? I actually thought that you were going to change. How stupid was I, to even think"
Corral gave a bitter laugh. "Everything wrong with this family is you. You are bad and you are a terrible wife as much as terrible mother."
Rose took an involuntary step back as if she had been slapped.
"Your majesty." The workers said to Rose in reaction at her step back.
She breathed so hard that she thought she was going to faint.
At that moment, the door opened and then King Roland came in.
He just stopped confused at the way everyone was positioned standing.
"What is going on here?" He asked after looking all around.
"Ask your perfect wife." Corral said with malice in her voice.
Roland turned to look at Rose.
