Princess Abigail being chased by Princess Katherine.

As the doors swung open, Ichabod leaped off the bed to tackle the intruders but stopped mid-stride when he realized it was only the queen's eldest daughter Katherine (age 24) and her youngest sister Abigail (age 19). The pair appeared to be grappling with each other for whatever Abigail was holding in her palm.

"Give it back you little hobgoblin!" Katherine hissed at Abigail. "Not on your life, you old crone!" Abigail snapped back.

"Girls could you please come back later your mother's a--"Shut up Ichabod!" both women screamed at him as they shove past him to their mother. "Mommy tell Katherine to leave me alone!" Abigail begged her mother behind the screen. "Tell Abigail to give back what she stole!"

While the sisters continued to argue Cassandra could only groan in annoyance at these adult-sized children she gave birth over the course of her marriage. Normally her children get along as well as cats and Wolves. But, whenever there was a social event these two would act like elves and Orcs, constantly fighting over the same brain dead prince. it always disappoints her that most of her children have grown into the kind of nobles she so despised.

Cassandra takes her foot out of the tub and asks the maid for a robe to deal with her daughters. Completely forgetting about the enchanted necklace to blocks sound. As the buff Queen continues to issue the same demand, the two sisters slammed into the privacy screen onto Cassandra knocking her ass first into the tub splashing water onto the stone floor. The maid lets out a muted laughter at the whole spectacular as Ichabod dashes over to check on Cassandra's being. helping the nude Queen out of the tub his eyes darting all over her body as his pants grew smaller by the second.

"look what you did Katherine you dumb cow! Me that was your fault, Abby." Cassandra in blind fury pushes Ichabod aside as she marches towards her children while they were bickering with each other. Cassandra Smack them both with her open palm before demanding:

"WHAT IN HELLS FIRE, ARE YOU TWO ON ABOUT!" Their mother exclaimed.

The sisters were in shock not at the sight of their mother naked but at the fact that they struck at all. No one had ever raised a hand to them. "WELL?" Their naked dripping mother shouted again.

"I um ..."Abby stole a broach I was going to wear for the Gala next week." Katherine said to her mother in a whisper of a church mouse. Abigail whined, "But, I have a dress that matches it far better than any the rags Katherine has!" Abigail whined bordering on tears more from the smack then from her attachment to the broach. Abby got another smack on her other cheek to loosen her grasp on the broach.

"If neither of you can act like adults and share neither of you deserves to have it." Cassandra held the broach in her palm.

Both princess: But Mother -

Cassandra cut in"Or do I need to call Matron Louisa to discipline you both?"

That threat was enough for the pair to shut their mouths and head off to bed. While their mother thought on the Gala.
