“ well, I guess I will be your wife, well then you are going to get an opening to take slolon in about three days after this one, my brother is going to take that day off, so on that day, You will have 24 hours to get to slolon, “ Vanessa says stretching “ well that just leaves me free for the next three days I wonder what I should do with my time,” he says Vanessa laugh “ I’m sure we can think of something, come let’s get dressed, it should be dinner time,” she said they get dressed, and he follows her down the stairs there was a restaurant right by the hotel,

He orders dinner for Kelly, lily, and lion. Marry sits with them, and they wait for their food “so tell me about your self “ Vanessa says as they sit down “now she asks about you,” marry says Venessa flushes “hay, you said this was your fault, as well as his” Vanessa, says marry nods “well Lance tell her about your self” marry said “well…” Lance said latching into his story “it was wise of you to come here with just your slaves, though I’m sure a goddess can take care of her self, I do not think it was wise for you to come here marry” Vanessa says

“Well, they can’t kill me, and I can get out of any prison, and I do not think anyone can hold me against my will, so I can’t be used as a bargaining piece, “ marry said, “well as far as I know no one knows that you’re here, even if you’re caught trying to take slolon, the most they can do with you is insist you leave the contrary “ Vanessa says “what about you, what else is there to know about you,” he says she flushes “well you probably know everything about me, other than the fact my family and I do not get along,” Vanessa says “I’m loyal to my kingdom, I’m only helping you because I’m sure soon will be nothing but disaster for my kingdom,” she said firmly.

“Does your kingdom know about your vision?” he asks. She shakes her head “no, and they don’t need to know; I have a feeling if they knew I would lose much of my freedom, and I would not be able to choose who I bed, and I’m sure you would not be happy if some other man had me” Vanessa said he nods “so what about you slave tell me about you” Vanessa says looking at Kelly, lily, and lion “let see I was ….” Kelly says telling her story, by the time the twins get around to finishing their stories, dinner has arrived.

“Those are some fascinating story, and I’m guessing you can’t tell me your story, marry,” Vanessa says as they eat “you would guess right there is not much I can tell you sorry,” marry say, sounding a bit disappointed they finished eating, Vanessa leads them back upstairs to her room, she pulls down an extra bed “well my bed is not big enough for all of us, but they do have this nifty pull out beds for if you have slave staying with you,” she says as she sets up the extra bed “well take the other beds, Lance, you Kelly, Vanessa and marry can share the bed,” Lilly said settling down in her bed,
“Don’t worry about me. I don’t need to sleep, I will help you all fall asleep, so I don’t bother you,” marry said as Vanessa puts him in the middle of the bed. Kelly is on his right, and Vanessa lays on his left “now just sleep” marry says that is the last thing he remembered from that night.

He woke up refreshed. Mary was sitting in a chair just staring out into the distance, “good morning Lance “ she said as he looked at her, “well good morning, marry, it is a bit unsettling to know you just watched us sleep for the night, “Lance said as he woke up the others “well if you were worried that I was bord, I was taking the time to deal with some souls that had died, the stander wipe purge and transfer” she says absently, they go down to the restaurant and eat breakfast, “well might as well get this over Lance come with me, we might as well go to my home, it is about time I check in” she says sounding disappointed.

“Are we likely to see slolon?” he asks. She shakes her head “he and my brother go to the castle today; they will be there all day; I pick this day on purpose; I don’t want to be around soon unless I have to?” she says after they finish eating, they headed, through the city that kind of reminded him of home, and they come to a lovely stone manor, they enter as a wagon leaves, he sees slolon through the window, but the man does not see him, he doubted the man even knew who he was, but it was better safe than sorry, he sees a young lizardman with slolon, and that person sees him but ignores him,

They come to the door of the manor. It is well decorated and has a few animals carved into it. Vanessa goes to the door and pushes it open; his group follows her inside; Vanessa goes to a rope hanging from the ceiling. She pulls on it three times; a servant comes to answer them, “Hello madam, are you home for long” the servant asked, “just going to talk to my parents for a bit after I tell them what I been up to, I will leave” she says.
“Mama, I wish you would stay at home; going out so often is not good for the family image,” the servant says “ well, keeping slolon under our protection is not going to be good for our family ether or the kingdom we would be better off if we sent him to the church of contracts” the servant nods “ we agree, but it is not the place of us small people to tell your family how to run things” the servant say “more to the pity, we really should listen to the people more,” Vanessa said.

“Well, you mother and father are in the study, going over kingdom readiness reports” Venessa nods “you all stay here. I would rather not have to explain you to my family,” she said. They shake, and she leaves, going up the stair “ so where did you meet the miss” the servant ask “ the library,” he says, “ yeah, the miss does love to read; I’m a good read of what is going on, you bedded the miss didn’t you” the servant say he blushes “ I think you just verified, my suspicions, don’t hurt her “ the servant.

“Oh, I intend to take her as my wife, “he said firmly. The servant looks from him to the others, “and just who are you to have so many lovers” the servant says, “wow, nothing escape you does it, yes I have many lovers and two wives so far I plan on making lady Venesa my third wife, as to what gives me right to have so many lovers, I’m what you call another world, as to my loyalty it to what is the is the best interest of all people, not just the ones in this kingdom “ he says at that the man blanched.

“Very well, sir, would you like anything,” the servant asked “no, thank you, I will just wait on lady Vanessa, “ he said “if you says sir, so if you don’t mind me taking up more of your time and ask how you ended up in this world” the servant ask “strange I did not think you would believe me” the man nods “as you know I am good at reading people, it is why this family employs me, I question every stranger how shows up at the manor,” the man said “well as to how I came to this world…” he says telling the man just that.
“So you have chosen to live in the other kingdom,” he nods “that’s just because my first wife makes her home there, and she is duty-bound to serve her family; I cannot tell you what has brought me here,” he says “you are after Solano that’s plain enough, don’t worry I won’t share that with my employer they don’t believe me that slolon tends to lie through his teeth, “ the servant says firmly “people really should listen to such good employees.” He says the man smoothly nods “you, on the other hand, though you hide a great many things, you try to tell the truth always if you can’t tell the truth about something you tend to change the subject, it is also my belief that you also have the best interest of this family, even though what you plane will leave the family open, it is not done because you are working for an enemy” the servant says.

Venesa returns from up stair following her was a man and woman, who looked a great deal like venesa “ it seems rumor made it to my parents that I have chosen a new suiter, they insisted on meeting you “ Vanessa tells us that you’re another world, what do you think larze” the man said “ well sir the man speaks nothing but the truth and is from another world, that means he free to interfere in matters better left to higher rank “ the servant says smoothly.
