Warnings: None yet?

As Beatrix once again recognized the environment that appeared, she braced herself for another vision of her own, even if she knew that no amount of bracing would make a difference.

She stood in the palace, having just fought the group of enemies who had seen fit to make themselves a thorn in her side for quite some time. She told them to leave, but one--Zidane, that was his name--rebutted her.

"Hey, wait a minute... You're the general of this kingdom. As the general of Alexandria, what is your sworn duty!? Isn't it to protect Dagger-your Princess Garnet? I'm sure you know who's sitting over there." The words took her by surprise, and for the first time, she took a good look at the prone body in question. Upon doing so, her eyes widened in shock.

"It can't be... Princess..." She took a breath, attempting to regain her composure, though it was difficult to do. "So, it was true" she spoke aloud, "The queen really did mean to kill her..." She had known that, of course. The queen had said it to her, personally, and had seemed not to even notice Beatrix's shock at the declaration. But somehow in her heart, Beatrix hadn't believed the queen would call for the death of her beloved daughter. Up until that moment she had held out hope...

And there the memory faded, leaving Beatrix to blink confusedly as she found herself once again in the company of her two companions through these odd events.

"Another memory," was all she said, though she was unable to keep the fact that she was shaken from her face.
