"Oh come on, Rose, calm down. This'll be fun, I promise," Lissa assured her best friend as their car sped along the road, away from court. She took a deep breath and smiled happily. This was what she had needed, an evening with just her friends. No entourage of guardians, advisors or vampire royalty, who believed themselves to be way too important. She just wanted to be Lissa for a while, not the queen. Not that she ever wanted to be queen in the first place. She still could hardly believe that she had been elected in the first place. That didn't mean that she took her responsibilities lightly. She owed it to her people not to. But once in a while she needed a time out. She just wanted a normal evening, like any other teenager her age. A couples movie night with her boyfriend, best friend and her boyfriend surely wasn't too much to ask for, was it?

"We're just going to the cinema and have a drink afterwards. No one will even miss us until we're back." She had pretended to be tired and retired early. Her guardians were under strict orders not to disturb her and on the way out of court she had used spirit to mask their appearances. Nobody knew that she snuck out and would be looking for her in the human town they were heading to.

Dimitri snorted silently, but didn't say anything. Instead he kept his eyes firmly on the road and their surroundings, making sure that nothing looked suspicious. He wasn't happy with Lissa's plan to go out on their own, but she was the queen, and got what she wanted. That they would have fun was a little unrealistic though. Being guardians, he knew that he and Rose would both be on high alert the entire evening. Having fun was so far down their list of priorities right now that it was kind of laughable. Not that he was going to mention that to his queen, especially after everythings he did for him and Rose. She wanted an evening of feeling normal, so he would do everying in his power to give her that. He just hoped things would go as planned and nobody would even realize that this was the perfect opportunity to try and take out the queen.
