Queen Rose Benjamin:
The trial's not over yet... but you'll probably cry then, too.

Michelle Benjamin:
...I'm pregnant.

Queen Rose Benjamin:
...But... you can't - you can't be. Are - are you sure? The doctor said it was impossible.

[the queen slowly registers a deep fear]

Queen Rose Benjamin:
...David's child... oh, God; does he know?

Michelle Benjamin:
[nervously shaking her head]... I'm afraid - of my own father.

Queen Rose Benjamin:
Your father... must never know.

Michelle Benjamin:
You'll help me...

Queen Rose Benjamin:
Oh... this - this is a blessing. This is our family's future - this kingdom's future. But you must have nothing to do with David, ever again.

Michelle Benjamin:
I can't; he needs me.

Queen Rose Benjamin:
No, it doesn't matter. You're scared of your father; you should be. He has eyes for David's blood, and that blood now pumps through your veins. He will see David dead, and all his kind. If he knew, he would never let that child live. You've been given this... nothing else matters. You'll listen to me... you understand now; you feel it. A mother will do anything to protect her own... as I will protect you.
