With the lady jessica and irakas
The banan jaserate system of seling implanned legends through the missionaria protectiva came to its full fruition
The wisdom of seeding the no universe with a propacy pattern for the protection of benedezerate personnel has long been appreciated
But never have we seen a condition uood extremist with more ideal mating of person in preparation
The prophetic legends had taken on iraqus
Even to the extent of adopted labels including reverend mother kanto in respondo and most of the shariar penoppiar prothethecus
And it is generally accepted

Jessica piled in corners of the addequy in great hall
Mounded in the open spaces
Stood the package freight of their lives
Boxes
Trunks
Cartoons cases
Some partly unpact
She could hear the cargo handlers from the guilge shuttle depositing another load in the entry
Jessica stood in the centre of the hall
She moved in a slow turn
Looking up and around a shadowed carvings cronnies and deeply recessed windows
This giant anncronism of a room reminded her of her sister's hall at her many gejesor at school
But at the school
The effect had been a warmth here or with bleak stone
Some architect had reached far back into history for these batterist walls and dark hangings
She thought the arged ceilings stood two stories above her with great cross beammes
She felt sure had been shipped here to iraackers across space at monstrous cost no planet of this system grew trees to make such beams
Unless the beams what imitation wood she thought not this had been the government mention in the days of the old empire costs have been of less importance
Than it had been before the hackinonons on their new megloopollist of carthag a cheap and brasssy places some two hundred kilometres
Northeast across the broken land
Later had been wise to choose this place for his seat of government
The name addequine had a good sound filled with tradition
And this was a smaller city easier to steoyze and defend
Again they came the clatter of boxes being unloaded in the entry jessica 's side against a carton to her wrghters to the painting of the duke's father rapping twine hung from it like a fraed decoration
A piece of the twine was still clutched in jessia's left hand
Beside the painting lay er black bull's head mounted on a polished board
The head was a dark island in a sea of walted paper
Its plang lay flat on the floor and the balls shiny muzzle pointed at the ceiling
As though the beast were ready to below a challenge into this echoing room
Jessaago wondered what compulsioner brought her to uncover those two things
First of the head and the painting
She knew there was something symbolic in the action
Not since the day
When the duke spyers had taken her from the school
As she felt this frightened and unshort of herself
The head and the picture
They hieightened her feelings of confusion
She shutered glance ed to the slit windows high overhead it was still early afternoon here and in these attitudes
The sky looked black and the cold so much darker than the warm blue of canadadan a paying of homesickness throbed through her so far away canada here we are
The voice was due latos chea world saw him striding from the arched passage to the dining haul is black working uniform with red armororial hawk crassed at the breast looked dusty and rumbled
I thought you might have lost yourself in this hitdiest place
It is a cold house
She looked at his torlness at the dark skin
That made her think of olive grooves and golden sand non blue waters
There was wooded smoke in the gray of his eyes
But the face was predatory thin full of sharp angles into planes a suthern fear of him tighten her breast had become such a savaged driving person
Since the decision to bow to the emperors command the whole city feels cold
It's a dirty dusty little gurrisson town
But we'll change
Then these are public rooms for state occasions
I've just glanced ed some of the family apartment in the southwing
They're much nicer
He stepped closer
Touched her arm
Admiring her state liness
And again he wondered at her unknown ancestry a rennegade house perhaps some black bard royalty
She looked more rigal than the emperor zone
Blood under the pressure of his stair
She turned half away
Exposing her profile
And he realized there was no single and precisething that brought her beauty to focus the face was oval under a cap of hair
The colour of polished bronze
Her eyes were set wide as green and cleared as the morning skies of canaddan
The nose was small
The mouth wide and generous
Our figure was good
But scanned tall and with its curves
Gone to slim
Mness
