               I’ve been AWAY visiting Luca. Would

Renata’s confusion was plain to see on her porcelain face.
She had only just arrived back at the castle & was already
missing out on the current changed in the guards.

                  “ Didn’t we just get new guards last week? 
                    Did Felix K I L L them in training again? ”
