"My princess, your package has arrived."
"I can't believe my brother directly disobeyed me and sent me a hundred maids instead of ten."
"All your brother is generous."
"So this was your idea was it? I am sure it was you."
"Why do you always blame me, can't we just have a truce and be friends?"
"Not even in a hundred years."
"Why did you hide your Maid's when coming here?" She completely ignored my refusal of friendship.
"I don't want people to know what they look like because I will send them as spy's."
"Craver girl, so where are we starting from?" She brought out a map of the villages.
"Wow, how do you have this?"
"This is an old map my father left for me. I don't have a new one, sorry."
"It's ok, I think this will do, we will start with Pekete village."
"Why Pekete."
"I don't know but I have a feeling I will have a lead there."
"Are you going to inform princess Doris that you will be visiting?"
"I will let her know when I am closer. It looks like it will take us quite some time before we can reach Pekete. Why mi, let everyone sit in my throne room? I will join you soon."
"Make sure you don't sleep in the bathroom, you kind of look sleepish."
"Don't worry princess sister in law I will be with her all the time."
"Ever, how did you guys convince her to let you in her bathroom while she is having a bath?"
"We kind of tricked her."
"I heard that little Ever!" Lister and Ever high-five each other and laughed, on the other hand I rushed to the bathroom but Ever knew what I was up to she ran past me.
"You have quite a right hand maid there, little sister."
"I swear if I don't fire that girl I will jump off the bridge and die."

At Son's hideout.

"Mind your tung fifteen that woman saved me and master."
"Come on six, will you marry me? I beg of you."
"Get away from me you pavat or I will report you to the master."
"What about you, saven , will you be my wife?"
"Not a chance."
"Eight can ..." the girl named either looked at twenty-two.
"I won't say anything I promise."
"Hey girls we are living now, the princess will be on her way the day after tomorrow, but before that we should be on our way so as to meet up on time."
"Can I join you girls, please don't leave me with these fools, I can't stay in a place without women I will die."
"At least we will have one less fool in the family."
"Five you lucky bastards, why are you going too?"
"Because I am an engineer, and you can't even fix a pen twenty two."
"That's still not fear, I want to go two, I will do anything please take me with you."

"My princess here are the names of the first ten maids ."
"Ok so this will be the leaders of the ten groups we are going to form, in group one we have Sylvia leading nine maids. The ten of you will have this map. It will lead you to a village called Pekete. I will find you in a month also."
"Thank you my princess, I will save you well."
"I want you to go there as tourists don't tell them where you are coming from, the second group will be led by Bethany you and your nine maids will go to Mpande village you will also go as travellers don't tell them where you are coming from."
"The third group will escort gland ma Rose to Little Valley kingdom. I will find you there, help her with anything she needs. Amanda will be a group leader. I am sending you there especially to study medicine."
"Us for the fourth and fifth group led by Lucy and Tina simultaneously will go to Turkey village and Bottom village, I also need you two to check out River side town. I heard they have the best seafood there."

"Emma, you and your group will go to Lunda, observe it a little, then go and look for your twin sister in Gaban to work together."
"Emmy, you will go to Gaban to find out anything you can about that place because it is so secluded. We have almost nothing about that place, please don't get killed."
" Lydia you will go to Tropical, I will see you all soon and make sure you don't tell anyone where you are coming from and behave like travellers."
"Us for you three we will go to the palace tomorrow after that we are starting off the day after, meeting ardjaned."
In the evening I sat in my room sipping tea.
"So have you seen my gift yet?"
"Stop sneaking in my room like that, can you please stop being creepy, and I haven't seen any gifts."
"Have you checked under the bed?"
"No I didn't and why on earth would you put a gift under the bed."
"I didn't want anyone to see it. I thought it's a secret mission?"
I looked under the bed and pulled out a box. When I opened it five pigeons came out and ten rats.
"There the best information collector and the best massage sender as well."
"I trust you, but I need them to be royal only to me." Suddenly I heard a knock, Son jumped off the window and I put the box back quickly.
"You are still reading? I thought you have already snicked out."
"Seriously sis? I can't do that."
"I am sure he is he, I am wondering who he is though."
"He is my patient. He is too shy to come during the day, stay out of my room."
"I see as long as he is not dangerous I don't mind."
"Today we are finishing the treatment I will be living the day after tomorrow after all."
"Sleep on time I will be in my room."
"Ok goodnight."
"Same to you."
"She is a shap one how did she now I come here I am sure I am always careful."
"For a thief you are….."
"I am not a thief but you are the only thing I can still in this house if I can be one."
"Don't dare, by the way how does the rat work? I need to know."
"Let's go train them outside, I will show you how it works." When we went out, Son started to show me how to send messages and how to receive them.
"Will my maids manage to do this?"
"Don't worry my engineer and three trusted maidens will be with you but you will not see them often unless there is an emergency."
"Thank you for your help."
"So are we going to see them beforehand or what?" Son, and I almost ran when we heard my sister in law's voice.
"How did you find us?" I asked.
"How are you able to counsel your presence like that,I can not detect you at all?" Son, was curious.
"I have my ways." my sister in law folded her hands.
