“I shall see one made for her as well.” As they continued their conversation neither one of them noticed they two royal guards approached them.

“Apologies for interruption your majesty, “one says as they both bow before her then stand to their feet, “We bring message from the castle.”

“Spill from tongue, “her response caused both soldiers to stare at each other confusingly.

“We were ordered to deliver message in private.” Taking a deep breath, she looks at Bette.

“Bette, pardon my absence I need to meet with my guards however I shall return.” As she walked away from everyone to a more secluded area the two guards followed closely behind her when she realized they were far enough she turned to face them.

“What message is so important it required sudden interruption?”

“We bring word from Daiya?”

“Send message to Daiya we are still promised to depart I have not forgotten, “she says walking away hoping to rekindle the friendly conversation with Bette.

“Your majesty an impending departure was not the message we were order to receive, “one of the soldiers says forcing her to turn around.

“Whatever message my daughter has sent see it spilled from tongue.”

“Princess Dana.”

“Yes, “she responds worriedly.

“We are here to inform you she has awakened.”

After taming Kits hair, Tina met briefly with Queen Avile, Koi, and Ascara for a small brunch. As always she enjoyed the company and conversation. Kit was invited to attend as well, however her presence was needed in preparing the evening dinner. Feeling exhausted she returned to her chambers for a quick nap. Upon entering her room she removed her shoes and cloak then flopped down on her bed. Rolling to her left side she let out a loud yawn and slowing blinked her eyes. It felt like she had 20 pound boulders on top of each eye lid sleep was vastly approaching. As her body finally relaxed she opened her eyes one last time semi-groggily something caught her attention. Staring directly into her closet she notices a pair of her shoes were out of place. Forcing herself out of bed she walks towards the closet.

“That’s odd my shoes are always aligned with the outmost part of the floor grain, “she thinks to herself. Although, confused she believed the mistake was hers and returns her shoes to their rightful position. As she turned to stand she noticed the small box she strategically placed on the floor had been moved. Grabbing it then opening it she removed its contents. Looking through each picture and piece of paper it contained her heart quickly beat to chest, but soon subsided when she got to the second to last picture and was thankful all her pictures were there. When she reached the last picture the calmness she felt quickly faded as a picture was missing not just any picture but her favorite picture. Clearly someone had been in her room and from the position of her shoes and box it did not appear they entered to clean someone had been looking for something. Her jewelry, cloths, coin, and other belongings of worth were left out in the open and had not been touched. Everything remained as it should with the exception of one thing……a missing picture of her wife.
