It wasn't the first time Venus was summoned by the queen, so she didn't think it was of any importance. Kunzite had pointed out to Artemis that as leader of the prince's shitenou, he should go as well, but as Artemis pointed out, the queen had summoned only Princess Venus, and Kunzite was not one to disobey orders from the prince, the princess, or the queen.
She walked into the throne room, where the queen waited. The images of the guardian and the fetologist were gone. She approached the queen, and curtsied.
"Your Majesty summoned me?"
"Yes, Venus." the queen began. "I know that as a daughter of the Royal House of Venus, and a descendant of the Goddess of Love herself, you are most knowledgeable in terms of human emotions, especially love or beauty, and the perception and reactions of human beings to them."
Venus nodded.
"I know you have viewed Pluto."
Venus nodded.
"Yes, I have viewed her, Your Majesty."
"But never seen her, am I right?"
"I did see her, when she attacked Lord Kunzite."
"What do you make of her?"
Venus looked up.
"Well…I only saw her for a minute or two…she…" Venus trailed off.
The queen gestured for her to keep going.
"One can't really tell as much from viewing as one can from seeing. And I only did see her once, for a few minutes." she cleared her throat. "She does a good job of hiding her emotions, but if her aim is to make it seem as though she has none, she does not do as well a job as she should. Very small gestures, tone of voice. She seemed, even fascinated by the fact that we were seeing when she was viewing. She attacked Lord Kunzite. She was looking for someone whom she had viewed before. She has viewed the Her Highness Princess Serenity before. It is possible she was looking for her."
"You think she was looking for the princess?"
"Honestly, Your Majesty, I think not. She-She could have asked Prince Endymion as to where she might find the princess. She didn't. Lord Nephrite said she was extremely…odd when he spoke to her."
"So you are saying she may not have been looking for the princess?"
"I do believe that she was looking for the prince. Her target wasn't the prince, I am sure."
"You think she meant to attack Kunzite?"
"Your Majesty, I do believe she may feel something towards the prince consort."
The queen leaned forward.
"Something? You believe she may harbor feelings towards him?"
"I believe she may, I believe she is in love with His Highness."
