Three days later; Angara's cold was gone, and she was able to get out of bed. Angara got dressed, and went down to eat. As she headed for the dinning room; Garrett seen her.
"Lady Angara, I see Tia let you out of bed." Said Garrett.
"Yep. My cold is gone. I'm going to have breakfast." Said Angara.
"Well, enjoy your breakfast." Said Garrett.
Garrett bowed, and then went to get the paperwork ready. Angara then went to the dinning room, and when she walked in; Tia had just finished setting the table.
"Tia, you look unhappy. What's wrong?" Angara asked.
"There was a group of cats that came to find work at the palace. Since we have enough cats; I had to send them away." Said Tia.
"Tia, I was thinking about that while I was stuck in bed. I was thinking if we got a few more cats to work here, then everyone wouldn't be stressed when some take time off to visit family." Said Angara.
"You do have a point, my lady. Everyone that come from those villages; haven't been home, I believe since Lady Mia let go many of the staff." Said Tia.
"Then may I suggest that you get Asen to send a couple of guards to guide them back." Said Angara.
"I will, once I get you settled." Said Tia.
Angara took a seat, and Tia brought out the food. Once she was done, she went back to the kitchens, and told two of the maids to stay alert; should Lady Angara need anything. They said ok, and then Tia went to speak to Asen.
Meanwhile, Mia finally arrived at her sister's home. She knocked, and the door soon opened.
"Can I help you?" Rion asked.
"I thought this was my sister's home." Said Mia.
"What's your sister's name?" Rion asked.
"Her name is Ria." Said Mia.
"You have the right place. Just a moment." Said Rion.
Rion then called for Ria.
"Did you need something, honey?" Ria asked coming to the door.
"Your sister." Said Rion.
"Mia; It's been so long since I've seen you. How have you been?" Ria asked.
"Good." Said Mia.
"Mia come in. Let me introduce my husband, Rion. Rion, this is my sister; Mia, she is the Noble of the North Kingdom." Said Ria.
"Pleasure to meet you, my lady." Said Rion as he bowed.
"Don't bow; I'm not the Noble anymore. I retired from that honor." Said Mia.
"When did that happen?" Ria asked.
Before Mia could answer; Rion said that he had to get back to work, and he told Mia he'd get to know her over supper. Ria told her sister to have a seat, and Ria closed the door. When Ria joined her sister, and they spoke about many things. Ria looked out the window, and seen that Rion would be finished with the field soon. Ria said that she had to get supper started, and just as Ria stood up; a baby's cry sounded through the house. Mia looked at Ria, and Ria had a exasperated look on her face.
"Something wrong?" Mia asked.
"Soren, he's awake, and he's going to want to be fed. I'll be right back to start supper." Said Ria.
As Ria walked away, Mia knew that she couldn't tell her sister the real reason she was there. She knew that she had to keep it to herself, and move forward. That also meant that she was going to have to talk to her sister, and her sister's husband about staying there till she could get something set up for herself. Mia then stood from the table, draped her cloak on the chair, and started to put some things together for supper.
"I need to show that I can be helpful, so they will let me stay." Said Mia.
