"Right. Lottie's mum, Erika, was brought into slavery a few years ago. She was pregnant with Lottie when she was. Anyway, Lottie was born into slavery. But the Queen dislikes her and treats her cruelly. So Erika asked me to take care of Lottie for her." finished Maeve. This cleared up the others questions, but it still left Sinbad confused.

"Well, I understand why you changed her name to Lily, but why did you change our names? And why did you say we were married?" he questioned.

Maeve blushed as Rongar raised his eyebrows and Firouz and Doubar laughed. Lottie tried to help her out.

"We were playing mummies and daddies." she nodded seriously.

"And who's idea was it?" asked Firouz.

"Mummy's." replied Lottie.

"Before you start with the tormenting" said Maeve quickly. "At least let me explain first."

"Ok." agreed Doubar. "But if you don't have a good explanation..."

"..you can taunt all you want." Maeve took a deep breath before starting. "The other thing Erika told me before she left is that no one must know who we are. She said that Sinbad and I are legends and that the King and Queen will give a reward for our capture." She shivered at the thought.

"5,000 pieces of gold for both of you." chirped in Lottie.

"Pardon?" asked Doubar disbelievingly.

"Or 2,000 pieces for one." she finished.

"But why?" asked Sinbad.

"What are we legendary for?" questioned Maeve.

"Being beautiful." replied Lottie.

"I don't understand." sighed Firouz.

"Oh yeah." Lottie laughed. "Mummy used to say that they have lots of toys. But that they like exotic ones best or something."

"I still don't get it. What do a bunch of toy collectors want with us?" complained Sinbad. Maeve rolled her eyes; she knew jolly well where this was heading. But she tried to help Sinbad out a little.

"Lottie, do the Queen and King always sleep in the same room?" she asked.

"Of course not." Laughed Lottie, thinking the idea very silly.

"And they have servants" prompted Maeve.

"Course." smiled Lottie. "The Queen has the boys and the King has the girls."

"Where do they sleep?" asked Sinbad cautiously.

"In their own rooms. But one always sleeps with the king or Queen to protect them and keep them company. Oh, and sometimes, they need more than one with them for extra protection." she smiled.

Maeve almost fainted at the thought. 'Thank goodness Lottie still has her childhood innocence' she thought.

"Does that answer your question?" Asked Maeve shakily.

"Unfortunately" he responded. "Do you know what this island is called?"

"Easter Island." she replied.

"That's a funny name" smiled Doubar.

"Easter is a Christian festival. It's when they celebrate Jesus dieing and rising from the dead." informed Maeve.

"Yes" smiled Lottie. "And then we all have a big party."

"Lottie" Maeve asked. "Would you like to help Uncle Doubar make some pancakes?"

"Yes please" smiled Lottie.

"Come on then you." smiled Doubar, picking Lottie up. "Uncle Doubar" he repeated. "Is that a hint Maeve?"

"Be gone before I fry you Tubby!" she warned.
