And let the fun begin...

"Welcome back to Queenscove, my lady." a servant said bowing deeply. Jzet almost groaned. This was like the fiftieth servant to come up to her and welcome her home. And frankly, she was starting to get annoyed.

"Are they always like this, father?" Jzet asked her father, Duke Neal of Queenscove, as the servant scampered away. He grinned.

"Of course they are." he said. "Now you know why I spend so much time in Corus, to get away from all these god cursed servants."

Jzet laughed in agreement.

It was Jzet's first day back to her home since last summer and she was getting settled in. The servants were literally worshipping her like she was a goddess and even the important officials in Queenscove, who helped it run, came to visit Jzet andgave her many gifts to her dislike. She hated being treated like nobility sometimes.

A letter from Gosha had met her at Queenscove, telling her to not get rusty and to write down all the dreams she had on a piece of paper and send it to her once a month for analysis.

Jzet wasn't happy about having to write down her dreams, but knew if she didn't Gosha would be after her.

She hadn't heard from Ganiel since the first time she saw him and wondered when she would see the dream god again. That necklace, which she received from Gosha, gave off a little tiny light every now and then, but otherwise it was normal.

That night, Jzet and her father dined with the fief's head officials. Jzet was forced to wear a dress, to her dislike. It was a white, low cut, summer dress with pink flowers woven into it. Jzet had to admit though, it was a pretty dress.

"And then Larry said to me, Joe with a wife like that, I know why you always get to work a half an hour early."

Laughter arose among the group of men that shared a table with Jzet and her father, while frowns were evident on the faces of their wives.

Jzet was almost bored to tears. Story after story she had heard, ever since she sat down at the table. She just wanted to leave.

When she asked her father in a whisper if she could be excused, he quickly hissed no, and told her she needed to act like a proper hostess, no matter how boring the stories were. Jzet grumbled about this for a few minutes before her father gave her stern look. Ever since then, she had been quieter than a mute, only half listening to the conversations that were going on at the table.

When the desert course was about to be served, the head servant, Harold Bonn, came rushing over to her father and whispered something in his ear. Jzet looked over to see her father's eye brows rise slightly as if he was surprised and then go back to his regular expression.

"Send him in then." said her father to Harold.

"Right away my lord." said Harold and he left with a bow.

Jzet watched the servant scurry away and then leaned over towards her father and whispered,

"What was that all about?" She asked.

He just smirked at his daughter.

"You shall see." was his only reply and then asked Mrs. Dorman a question about her sewing club.

Jzet glared at her father.

The door suddenly swung open and Harold stepped out.

He hadcleared his throat to gain everyone's attention.

"Presenting my young master, Chuck of Queenscove and Blythdin," Harold announced.

Jzet almost threw up at the sound of his name. What was he doing here? She wondered.

Soon, a tall fifteen year old boy stood before them. His red hair was disheveled, sticking up in the back. He was taller than Jzet now, by at least a head and his body was better built than last time she saw him. His emerald green eyes darted across the room until they layed upon his father.

"Son!" Neal exclaimed to Chuck, getting up to greet him.

Some of the fief's officials looked over to Jzet to see her reaction. She kept her face Yamani stone smooth to fool them. She didn't want to spread any gossip that she loathed him.

She watched her father and Chuck hug and as soon as the embrace ended, she decided to greet her step brother.

"Lady Page," Chuck said kissing her fingers lightly.

"Scholar Chuck," Jzet replied in a curtsey.

"So good to see you alive and well Page Jzeliette." said Chuck formally.

Jzet flinched when he said alive and well. She knew what he was getting at. He hadn't forgotten that he saved her life two years ago.

"Chuck," Jzet's father called. "Say hello to all the lovely people."

"Coming father." he replied. "See you later, Lady Page." He added smirking.

Jzet growled as her step brother walked away. He needs someone to deflate his large head. She thought, as she walked back to her seat at the table.

After desert the gardens were opened to all the guests while a band played in the background. The music soothed Jzet, after all the stress that was built up from arriving in Queenscove that day and thenseeing Chuck for the first time in two years.

A light tap on her back made her turn around.

It was Chuck.

"Hello Jzeliette," Chuck said in a sickening sweet voice.

"Hello Chuck," Jzet replied coldly.

"It has been brought to my attention that you seem not to like me." said Chuck. "What have I ever done to you?"

"It's not really just you, Chuck." said Jzet coldly. "It's just basically your mother and youhave stolen away half my life, that was meant to be here, in Queenscove."

"That was our own father's fault." Chuck replied sharply. "He didn't go looking for you seventeen years ago. He thought you were dead."

"You and your mother distracted him from looking for me." Jzet shot back.

"The only reason he started looking for you was because he received a letter from some woman on the Yamani Islands." Chuck retorted. Jzet's eyebrows rose in surprise. "When I was eight years old, according to our father, a letter came to our fief from a woman named Rosario, who lived on the Yamani Islands. She wrote that she was present at your birth and your mother's death and that you were sent to an orphanage after your birth and she had not heard from you again." He sneezed and then continued. "So then, our father began to send agents to the Yamani Islands to look for you, behind my mother's back of course. It took him three years to find you. When I was eleven, my mother and our father split up. I had no idea why until two years ago, during our first meeting. The reason why was, that he had found you and my mother thought you would ruin our family. So she left our father. So I wasn't the one who distracted our father from finding you. He only knew that your mother, Yukimi, had died during childbirth. He assumed the baby had died along with her. But he was wrong, wasn't he? He didn't even try and find out if you were dead too. Shows you how much he cared."

Jzet did not know how to answer to that. She looked over at her father who was laughing with Mister Conrad while sipping a glass a wine. How could he not even check if his own daughter was alive? Tears formed in her own eyes and she wiped them away, bitterly. I guess I shouldn't have blamed Chuck. Jzet thought. I ruined his life at Queenscove for good when his parents split up.

"I'm so sorry Chuck." Jzet said in a whisper. "If I had known I would be ruining your life by coming to Tortall, I would have never come." And then she added. "You would have been heir to Queenscove. Oh Mithros,"

"It's okay," he said, shrugging. "If I was heir, I would have to be confined to this fief all my life." He looked over to the fief officials. "And believe me, I would be bored to death."

Jzet laughed.

And then it dawned on her. He had saved her life, despite her ruining his.

"You shouldn't have saved my life two years ago Chuck." Jzet said softly. "I didn't deserve to be saved after all I've done to you."

"If I hadn't saved your life two years ago, Tortall would have lost a great future knight." said Chuck. "People, at the university, say that you are the only person in all of Tortall who knows how to defeat those red eyed monsters. If I hadn't saved you that day, we all would be extremely screwed right now. Now wouldn't we?"

Jzet smiled.

"I guess you are right." she said. She hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much, for everything."

"So does this mean we are friends, Jzeliette?" Chuck asked.

"It's Jzet," She corrected. "And yes Chuck we are friends."
