Author's Notes: I guess I'm still vaguely hoping someone will review. I'd really like to know what's wrong with it. Both this and my newest "Two More To The Riddle" haven't got any response and I wouldreally apprciate it if some would clue me in. (you can say I'm having a Fiyero moment -brainless, clueless) That way I can fix it and make it better...salvage it more likely I guess.

Liir's POV once more

"Papa! Papa!" I can hear Rehmehya running down the hallway of the Emerald Palace.

It is just one of many visits we make on Glinda's request. I turn around just in time for my little girl to make impact.

"Papa, he's coming to get me." The fout year old mumbles into my uniform, which comes with my outpost of advisor from Munchkinland to the empress (which she granted me two and a half years ago.)

"Who's going to get you?"

As if responding a blonde boy comes stomping down the hallway.

"NolimAi" She squeals and runs behind me.

"Why don't you two go find Claya and go play in NolimAi's room." Glinda says from behind me. The two nod and go off the find the nanny.

"There was something I would like to talk about concerning Remmy." She says and we hook arms out of manners and set off in the opposite direction of the kids.

"Yesterday, as you know I had Rehmehya sit in with Nolim on his lessons. Well, the tutormarm has informed me that Remmy, knows just as much, if not more than Ai. Oltin (her husband) suggested that she be schooled too. I know she has another year, but it would be best."

I nod, I was not completely unaware that she was brighter than most, Boq says she got it from her grandmother, but who am I to brag?

"I'll put her with the tutor..."

"Actually, Liir, I was thinking maybe...that she take lessons with NolimAi, social interaction with a friend, the best tutor, and the Emerald City will offer more than to her than Rush Margins, Colwen Grounds or Upper Applerus could ever offer combined. Don't worry, you'll still she her plenty, it's not like I'm taking her away forever. There's summers, holidays, and the numerous meetings we have."

"I don't know."

"I know it will hard, you two are the closest father and daughter I have ever seen, but it is all for the best, Liir. She IS destined for greatness, you of all know that, it's in her blood."

I know in my heart she is most likely correct, as usual, but I'll have to think about it and I tell her so.

She nods, "I understand," She then pulls a 180 and bounces, "Don't forget tonight is the ball."

"Right" I sigh as she bounces off, most likely to find Oltin and then to get ready. She has been adamently trying to find me the "Perfect girl" and I just play along.

I sigh lost in thought and slowly progress to the playroom. I peak in,

"Rehmehya, let's go for a walk."

She gets and runs to my side, "To the Gardens?"

I nod and she grants me one of her little smiles.

When we get there, she leads me to the stone path.

I look down at her holding my hand, our skin contrast shaply,

"Remmy, did you like it yesterday when you learned with NolimAi."

This seem to light her up,

"Papa, it was soo much fun and the tutormarm says I am smart, papa, is that good?"

"That is very good. Would you want to do that more often?"

She gives a moment of thought, then nods...my heart breaks a little.

I stop and pick her up, "Well, Glinda wanted to know if you wanted to stay with her, Oltin, and NolimAi to learn more, so you can go to Shiz."

Her green face brightens, literally, then goes a deep shape of forest green.

"Where will you be, Papa?"

"Back home, but I will see you every holiday, and summers and all the many many times I'll come to see you, will that be alright?"

She looks down and play with the sleeves of her white dress for a few moments, apparently thinking. Then she looks up. "Yes"

So, what do you think?

Read and Review.
