“Majesty?” And now the minister of finance, running to catch up with them.

Peace. It was not to be.

Fast on the minister’s heels came another shiny chrome head, her daughter’s old tutor droid CZ-7OB, clickity-clacking after them on metal feet. That droid was the only one of them that actually had an appointment, and it was probably far too late to cancel that one. Breha did not slow her pace, shrugging off the minister’s questions as rapidly as they came. Soon they approached the tall, arched doors leading to the royal apartments, and the two armored sentinels that stood on either side.

Through the slits in one enameled helmet, she found the sentinel’s eyes and gave the slightest shake of her head.

“But Your Majesty! The gown!” 2V sounded ready to pop a servo with frustration.

“Step aside, droid, there’s hardly a credit in the budget to spare on such ridiculous—”

The doors to the royal apartments opened, and with them came a rush of clean, linen-scented air, the sweet sound of her youngest attendant practicing at her lute, and the even more welcoming clank as the halberds of her guards went down behind her, barring entry.

Breha stopped just inside the apartment and turned, opening her hands to them as if in surrender. Minister Lintreyst and 2V stopped short, the tutor droid bumping softly into the girl’s back with a muttered apology.

Finances. Galas. Silks. Budgets. Would Leia return in time for the equinox? It seemed unlikely, and yet in a small, private corner of her heart that had nothing to do with rebellions or politics, Breha hoped it would be so. Would it mean her success or her failure if she returned that soon? What outcome did she dare wish for?
