"Really your majesty you should not jest in such a way", said Listel as she emerged from her room. She smiled and shook her head at Aveline, for as long as she lives she could never see the princess not picking at Valatar in some way. "Well it looks as though Valatar has buggered off again, should we start breakfast then my Lady", she smiled at the princess. She had always had a great respect for Valatar he was loyal to the end and would never get to far away but being a wizard he often would go off by himself. "I'll take that if you wish my Lady", she reached out and took the bucket from the young woman. She had been with Aveline her whole life, she had become her servant when the princess had been but a babe, and now she was beautiful grown woman. It just broke Listel's heart that she had to have so much heart ache and hardship in her life.

Now Listel was in no way superstitious but she was spiritual. She believed it could be administrated by the gods that certain beings had certain destiny's just as she beleive it was her destiny to protect the princess or die trying. She and Valatar had worked frantically that horrible night two years ago to get the princess out and to safety. Listel had so desperately wanted to go back and try to save the King and Queen just as much as their daughter had that very night. But she had been ordered when she took the calling of guardian over the princess, that if such a situation were ever to occur she would get the princess out and not turn back. The princess had pleaded and screamed but they could not go back, the would have been no hope for the kingdom if the entire royal family was wiped from existence. So with some clever spells on Valatar's part they were able to escape, the tragedy of that night.

Listel took the bucket of water to the hearth and started to look over the food, to see what she could come up with the ingredients they had. It was once again a day to go to market, it was day like this that Listel was grateful for Valatar's abilities as a wizard. "Well it looks like we still have a bit of pottage we could still cook, and we still have I loaf of bread and whats left of the cheese but we'll have to go to market today to pick up more supplies", said Listel as she poured some water in a pot. "My Lady do you mind slicing the bread and cheese while I make the pottage, and some tea would be nice I think", she took out the small kettle and handed the bread and cheese to Aveline. "I'm sure Valatar will be grateful for a hot meal when he returns", she said with a smile.
