Diane shrugged. "It was a lunch set up by my brother. Probably just a little time for us to get to know one another. After all, we are to be married." She started for the meeting room when a small band of Ritters came walking up to them. She feared that Deston had once again gotten himself into trouble when one of them grabbed her arm.<br/><br/>"What is the meaning of this," she demanded.<br/><br/>"Ritter Eloran has requested we find you," he said. "It's an emergancy, highness. Please come with us. The foreign prince is to go to the feast hall."<br/><br/>She barely was able to protest when they forced her down the halls. Moving faster then she could hope to, she was fairly dragged to the meeting room. The ribbon between her legs sent mixed messages to her mind and her fear overrode any erotic sensations.<br/><br/>ONce in the meeting room, she saw the grave looks on everyone's faces. "What is going on," she asked.<br/><br/>Gavin pulled his sister to him. "They say that it has to do with Father, but no one is talking," he said. Fearing the worst, Diane burst into tears, clinging to her brother.
