"There was another attack, my Lady."a young woman said, as she walked into a large sitting room.
"Why?"
"We managed to save him, but at the rate it's going, we'll have to speak to someone at the farm to start either replacing the workers, or simply having more just in case they're targeted."
The young woman with the silvery-lilac hair, and dark violet gown got up from her chair.
"This really is stupid."she said, opening her fan. "Why would anyone bother looking for any time of energy here?"
"It wasn't just energy, Princess. I think what whomever it is, what they're really after, was the heart crystal."
"The heart crystal? But that would be no good to anyone! Except me! If they came from my estate! On my planet! This is my estate on the planet. Who would think to cross the boundary? Why? Who?"she asked, bewildered.
"Obviously not a Solarian, I can tell you that much."she said, shrugging.
"Don't you use that tone of voice with me!"
She knelt down. "Forgive me, Princess. However, I just received a message that there have been similar attacks on other estates, throughout the planet. That's why I had to bring the matter to your attention, otherwise, we would've attended to it. I've also brought it to Rhea and Zarana's attention. They are waiting for us in the conversation room."
She shook her head.
"Well, then let's get on with it!"she said. "You know how tedious I find viewing them. Or anyone."
"It's simply part of-"
"I know, I know!"she snapped. "My absolute freedom! Or is it my responsibility, this time, Guardian?"
