Warning Given “Well, Dorothy? Why did you worm your way in here?” Relena worked the long glove carefully up her lower arm, trying not to look in the mirror at the woman seated to her left. Dorothy smoothed a hand over her black gown and smirked. Black looked good in any colour setting even set against black. The blue of the room clashed horribly with the dusky rose Relena wore and she truly did hate the décor. The heavy gold gilding and Victoriana of the styling grated on her and she was well accustomed to the grandeur of 500-year-old buildings. This was one of the few buildings to have survived the massacre and the later attack on Sanc. In her view it should be leveled and something more tasteful erected. //A Phoenix rising from the ashes. We all need to experience rebirth and some of these old buildings are desperate for change. This one holds some dark history many people working here do not want to acknowledge. Sanc was not always a peaceful haven.// “Dorothy?” She gathered up one of her gloves. “Why, I came to see old friends, of course.” Carefully removing the tiny diamond banded button from the glove she placed it on the seat beside Relena and tapped it three times before reaching to turn on a tap and allow water to run into the basin. “That should stop any listeners. Miss Relena, you need to be careful when you return to the Council after Christmas. There are forces moving not best pleased with Sanc stating its independence by crowning your brother. It is seen as a threat to the Council as a whole that Milliardo Peacecraft is gaining public acceptance and is not the social pariah he should be. I suggest you exercise extreme caution in your dealings with the Council.” “I knew there would be discussion but the Council has no powers to remove him from office.” “Nor to interfere with him at all provided he does not extend his sphere of influence out of Sanc’s borders. They do not trust him to keep his fingers within Sanc. That is the entire heart of the matter. I believe they fear the rebirth of the Milliardo Peacecraft they saw through the last days of the war.” “They do not understand him.” Relena frowned. “He was not trying to destroy the Earth, Dorothy.” “Well, you don’t have to tell me that, I know it only too well.” She grinned a feral grin. Relena shuddered at the brilliance of the expression. Dorothy was at her best when dealing with the intricacies of politics and she enjoyed playing the game. “The problem is so do most of the Council! If Mr. Milliardo is capable of making an entire civilization think he is going to put an extremely large dent in the Earth and change the face of the planet in the process what else is he capable of?"
