Gavin signaled the Ritter Hex. Two moved to escort Diane and two moved to escort Masako. "As long as you stay in the agreed areas, you may take a walk, Baroness," he said. "For safety precautions, you cannot go to the men's chambers, the research facilities, family living quarters, servant quarters or the military quarters."<br/><br/>Diane said her good-byes and was escorted back to her rooms. The chest the Comtesses had given her was set in the corner of her room. She took her fancy dress off and changed into a plain gown. Taking her book of poetry, she sat by the window to read by candlelight. Too frustrated to read, she put the book away. She knew she should leave these matters to her brother, but sometimes men needed a gentle hand to help guide them.<br/><br/>Knowing she had to sneak past her guards, she started plotting her escape from her room. When dinner ended, she planned on smoothing things over with the Loidites.
