"Ælirn," Beatrice calculated the risks in dropping formalities at this point, "I, perhaps more than any other soul here know the pressures you face at this moment. After all, I faced them myself, and just as I you will make it through just fine, okay?" she continued with a reassuring smile. "I faced the challenge of rule when I was a teen, not far removed from my schooling, and I know that look upon your face. Just as it was my day years ago I proclaim to you today is your day, you determine how it will go, and if you meet it head strong I know the path you forge will serve you and your nation well; you are a strong woman, and anxiety is most human to feel at this point, but it will pass and you will show all of Mundus that strength I know resides in your heart. Until then, until that point you stand before them, all you need to worry about is me, and I judge not anything you present me," she continued, offering Ælirn a hand of comfort on her shoulder.
Beatrice smiled at the question, "I apologize Your Majesty," she continued, referring to Ælirn in a manner she would no other monarch upon Mundus. The Rosari did view her as being above all other monarchs as the Blessed of Islyna, however, in such a setting she held no reservations in empowering another woman, especially as she faced challenges as she once did, "but I jumped the gun and laid them before you. There is a side of me you bring out, younger than the woman you see before you, with such hope as to light a thousand flames across Mundus. If we can harness this energy between us, well, I know great things are before us."
"And don't you worry about disappointing," Beatrice continued, "perhaps, to be honest, I see a part of myself in you. If I can advise you, and be an ear you may rely upon, personally I would have no complaint. I sat where you sit today, I know the questions in your heart and no, the answers are few and far between before you ask," she continued with a chuckle. "I had no one from beyond my own circle to guide me so, if you should wish, I would wish to serve as a voice without bias; that voice I never had in my early days upon the Throne. If I may be of service to you, while building bridges between our nations, I shall be happy. While I had no guidance, learned what was required of me as each day passed, if I can make that experience pass more quickly for you and provide you with sound guidance, I shall be most happy. After all, service is the highest office of leadership."
Following the brief interlude Beatrice continued, "Girl to girl, just you and I, have any caught your eye? I must admit, if I were not married, there are a few good prospects for fun in this field. As a proud woman each advantage is yours, and remember that always. Not only an Empress to your People but a woman of strength; pursue, but recognize that ultimately, you are the master of the pursuit. The more you make them work for it the greater the reward, I assure you," she said with a giggle.
