Unseen Allies It was unforgivable. She would have words with Hunter on his dereliction of duty in failing to notify her of the advent of a Run. The crotchety old bastard was keeping the fun to himself, was he? Not if she had her way. The Grand Duchess Anastasia belted the robe about her frail middle and slipped on fuzzy slippers. It was delightful to hear the young Moonlight On Snow was feeling comfortable enough to initiate a Run and she was not going to miss the event. In fact she intended to participate should it became necessary. Many a time she had watched and delighted in the wild game run in the palace. She would lament the loss of the many secret ways and hidden rooms that had added to the fun. The old palace would never be rebuilt, but that did not mean they could not have some fun in this rabbit warren they had inherited from the Alliance. "Where are they?" "His Majesty is in the West Wing, third floor. Mr. Chang is in the central wing and about to enter the third floor near the entrance to the West Wing. Mr. Maxwell is in the East Wing and heading back to the Central Wing, again on the third level." Well enough. The King's liaison to parliament was the threat at the present time, being the nearer of the two. She could assume Moonlight On Snow would tag the arranged point and begin his return. That would be the most dangerous time. He would not be amused if one interfered with his game, however, should he required a little assistance the Sisterhood would, of course, side with the King. The odd distraction to those who participated in the run might be required, particularly if the younger men chose positions at extreme disadvantage to the King. It was always the hardest on the one who was to be caught in one of these pursuits. They had so much ground to cover to accomplish their goals. The young men in pursuit struck her as being fair minded and she doubted they would locate a place and simply wait for their prey to come by. Camping was strictly against the rules and she could trust Pagan to penalise anyone who tried that. But these young men, they were very much action oriented and had a peculiar variety of skills at call. While they might pick the most likely positions to encounter the King, she doubted they would remain there and simply wait. No, they would scout around, keeping an eye and an ear out for any hint the King was coming their way and in the final minutes of the Run, if they had not run him to ground, they would make a mad dash for the starting point. Now where would be the best point to observe that free for all? "Bring me a set of the plans for the palace. We have some decisions to make."
