Reminders Of The Past “Where has Her Highness disappeared to? This will hold up the proceedings.” Milliardo exchanged a meaningful glance with Pagan who hovered at his shoulder out of sight of most of the guests almost swathed in heavy velvet curtains. The King’s bodyguard were discreet but firm and there was a small island of calm surrounding him. Of course the presence of Count Vladimir, Member of the House of Lords of the Sanc Parliament was to be suffered as the man was appointed to oversee the smooth running of the affair. He was not the official Master of Ceremonies and Milliardo suspected he had been given the job to get him out of the hair of those with the required skills to ensure the evening moved smoothly and the intelligence to ignore him. //I could bless them with a .45 to the temple for their thoughtfulness.// “I understand the Princess has withdrawn to the Powder Room, Sir.” Pagan murmured. Milliardo resisted the urge to snigger at the vibrant blush colouring the Count's cheeks. It appeared any mention of the necessities of nature and females was an embarrassment. “Ah, yes, well … I expect there is nothing we can do but wait.” Milliardo arched an eyebrow. “Quite.” Pagan sighed softly. “General Jonothan Hampton at three o’clock.” //Just what I need, the good General and his snide remarks. What will it be today, I wonder? ‘Looking well for a dead man, Milliardo?’ ‘What’s it like coming back from Hell, Milliardo?’ ‘Neither Heaven nor Hell want anything to do with you, Milliardo?’ ‘Did you speak to Noventa before you imitated a Phoenix and resurrected?’ ‘Did you beg his pardon, Milliardo, before they threw you out of the afterlife?’ I could do without this.// “Ah, Your Majesty. Risen high fast, haven’t you, Milliardo. It’s been a long time since we last had the opportunity to talk.” Dark eyes glinted with malicious delight. A former aide to Marshall Noventa, he had risen high in the ranks of the ESUN’s space exploration forces and took every opportunity to remind Milliardo of New Edwards. “I’m sure a few months could not be considered that long.” he watched as across the clearing dance floor Chang Wu Fei joined Duo Maxwell. They looked particularly fine together and the cut of their clothes enhanced the lines and curves of their bodies. How easy it would be to underestimate them and how many of the men and women rubbing shoulders with them this evening would do just that? How many would realize they were Gundam Pilots and had terrorized the Earth during the war? Yuy too would be underestimated and of those who did know him few would consider him a serious contender for Relena’s hand. He would need to keep Hampton away from them as he blamed everyone for New Edwards. “So are you going to get around to telling me what it was like being dead?” “Peaceful.” End |
