The Sisterhood The Grisselda was not amused and it boded ill for the Sisters if the Grisselda was not happy. She did see the Elders point, however. They were supposed to be the Guardians and look at the 'to do' over the last month. From abduction attempts on the young Prince to this attempt on the King. Their network of spies should have given them ample warning someone would try for the King. It was another failing of the Sisterhood, another indication they had work to do to ensure the safety of the family. With Sisters strategically placed around the world, within the offices of those with reason to harm the Family they existed to protect, they should have heard at least a whisper of something. It proved they needed more Sisters. Their numbers were growing but they still lacked the strength they had enjoyed prior to the fall of Sanc. They had lost many of their best in ensuring the Prince and Princess escaped the carnage and in trying to rescue the cousins who carried the bloodline. Some of those had survived and were still in hiding, afraid to reappear or unaware of their true heritage, being too young to recall who they once had been. The Peacecrafts had been prone to large families and happy to be surrounded by a horde of cousins. More than three quarters of the family had been butchered by the obstinacy of the King when he had refused to take their warning seriously. Even the Intelligence Agency had been ignored when they sought to warn the man of the whispers taking place in dark corners. She had not been young enough to forget. She had been a part of the Sisterhood then, being groomed for her present position as right hand to the Grisselda. She remembered all to well what it had been like to live in the palace and be a part of the extended family. Those days might come again, but for now priority must be given to the safety of the three with the strongest bloodlines. There would come a time when the Sisterhood would be given instruction to locate the children they had spirited away and who had escaped with nothing more than their lives. //This King would not be so comfortable with his life that he would disregard a warning given in good faith.// She knew enough of him to know he would take any warning given and protect what was dearest to him. He had proven he was aware of the Sisterhood and had made no effort to see them disbanded. Indeed he had made funds available to the Grisselda to permit them to increase their numbers at this time. His son was their primary concern, his protection the focus of their ancient charter; the heirs to the bloodline, the children who were too often helpless. Milliardo Peacecraft owed his life to the Sisterhood and he had not forgotten. Nor would they forget him. ~ * ~ |
