Chapter 33
They feasted that night and no matter how hard he tried, Aerrow couldn't find the time nor the place to bring up the discussion of Blinx with The King. Even if he mentioned anything about Blinx he was told "Isn't it wonderful? The Princess is here!" or "She will bring glory to us all!" and then the subject would be changed.
He understood that they were happy she was here, but he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
They'd acted similar when Finn was fist called Domo, and he'd ended up being fed to the head Verroc. So he couldn't help but wonder what they had up their sleeve for Blinx.
So here he was, sneaking around the palace, trying to find out anything he could.
Blinx was now a part of his team and his team were his family.
He paused at a large door and cracked it open so it hung ajar.
Pressing his ear to the gap, he listened for any noise before opening the door further to look in.
His eyes widened and a gasp left his lips. He stepped into the room and shut the door.
He made his way over to the mannequin and let his fingers run over the material it wore, his actions reflected in the various mirrors that stood in the room.
He walked over to the small desk that was situated a small way away and lifted one of the many flowers that littered the table, noticing that some had been used on the outfit while others hadn't.
The handle on the door clicked and in an instant, Aerrow had barrel rolled his way behind a divider situated in the corner of the room. He listened intently.
Three women entered the room. One talking loudly and excitedly to the other two.
"I still can't believe I was chosen to work on The Princess' gown. I mean, I have a shop and all, but I didn't think I was that good that I would be chosen"
One of the other two scoffed and rolled her eyes as the other replied exasperatedly "The three of us were chosen, not just you. But we have to concentrate now. We've only been at this for a few hours, but so far we've made fantastic progress. It's already starting to look like something. The King has already begun preparations and hopes to have everything done with before the week is out!"
"Do you think we'll be able to go?" the first one asked
"Of course we will!" said the third one, the oldest of the three "We have to make sure nothing happens to the dress or the young lady wearing it!"
"Can my family come? They love things like this"
"It's a public affair! Everyone on Vapos will be going, young and old!" the second said, her patience wearing thin "Now can we please concentrate on the dress! We still have a ways to go before The Princess can wear it"
Aerrow remained hidden for another hour or so before the women left again and he snuck out.
He headed straight to the Condor, intent on seeing Piper and Stork before speaking to Blinx and Finn and confronting King Agar.
He all but sprinted onto The Bridge and was quite happy to see that Stork and Piper were already there "Where's Blinx and Finn?"
"Finn's still at The Palace and Blinx is in her room" Piper told him "Aerrow, What's up? Did you run here?"
"We may have a problem" Aerrow told her.
