Chapter 197

::I can help you dress, Mommie.::Naffie stood behind her, fidgeting.

::The ship is thirty motsout. We can transport in secs. Even after the ship lands, it takes timeto disembark. Why are you so wound up, sweetheart? Who’s waiting?::

Syn put her hairbrush down, swiveled her chair, and regarded her offspring in befuddlement. Ever since the Brightstar came within hailing distance, Naffie had been bubbling over with excitement.

::Someone that will be mine someday is on the ship.::He smiled and his face lit up with joy. ::It’s something I asked the Goddess for.::

Whatever this is, it’s something Naffie really wants.

Curiosity swept over Syn’s face. She decided to probe deeper. ::Did you ask for something from Prince Juraensand Prince Mark that they’re bringing back?::

::No, but they are bringing him back with them.::Syn turned back to her mirror, her stomach brushing the front end of the vanity.
