Pia felt like a changed woman. After disappearing for a few

minutes, Nadja brought back with her a servant laden with

makeup and hair accessories. Pia admitted that dresses

were being made for her and Nadja sent the man to the

vil age to see if they were finished.

Nadja extended her hair down past her shoulders. It wasn’t

as long as before but it was a nice compromise. Nadja also

taught her a few easy tricks for pul ing the hair into different

styles and showed her how a little darkening of her eyes

could real y bring them out, though she continual y claimed

Pia didn’t need the makeup.

Pia showed Nadja a couple self-defense moves, promising

to teach her more at a later date when they were more

properly dressed for it. Afterwards, Nadja had invited Pia to

come over for dinner. Pia refused. Nadja nodded in

understanding without even needing to hear the reason.

Pia waited, al dol ed up, for Zoran to come home. The

dresses weren’t finished, but the seamstress had sent word

that they would be delivered the next day. She waited in a

comfortable outfit of cotton pants and a tight blue shirt.

Zoran didn’t show and it was getting late.

Pia, unable to stand waiting any longer, started for the door

yel ing at it to open. Stepping out into the hal , she paused.

A soldier was coming at her.

"Sir Hume," Pia said in surprise.

Hume stopped, looking up at her hair and face. A slight

smile of awe came to his feature as he bowed. His eyes

stared at her, refusing to dip down to the floor. "My lady,

Prince Zoran wished me to inform you that he has been

cal ed away on duty."

"Duty?" she asked in surprise. "What duty?"

"I’m sorry, my lady, I do not know," Hume said. "The King sent him away not but an hour ago."

"And when wil he be back?" she asked, frowning. "Can you tel me that?"

"Two days, my lady, maybe more," Hume said. "He wished

me to tel you that if you had a need for anything to cal on

this."

Pia took the hand communicator he gave her. Turning it

over in her palm, she studied it and frowned.

"The Queen wil be happy to assist you." Hume belatedly

finished with a bow.

"Wait," Pia ordered to stop his retreat. Grimacing, she

asked, "The Queen?"

"Yes," he said. "She possesses the other communicator.

Just push the button if you have need of her."

"Great," Pia mumbled wryly. She tilted her jaw up at the

man as he again bowed. Backing up, he stared at her,

grinning like a fool. At his look, Pia frowned at him,

wondering if Hume had suddenly gone mad. He backed up

to the end of the hal and she said, "Uh, thanks."
