Is this your kingdom? Rhys nodded proudly. "Sure is!" Weeeeeeell... That was kinda sorta a lie. She amended. "Well, I mean, not my kingdom exactly. It's my daddy's kingdom." Rhys paused and then added for good measure to make sure there was no chance of misunderstanding. "I'm just the princess."
The bark was barely passed her lips when Rhythm appeared. Wow, that was fast! It was almost magic the way she appeared whenever Rhys called. Her mom appeared even faster if she yelled. "Welcome back, Rhys." Darn it! How did she just know? It was so unfair and if not for the presence of her friend who clearly was from beyond the borders Rhys would have whole-heartedly denied what her mother was implying for no other reason than to protest.
Choosing to ignore her mother's comment in the hopes of taking the heat off her, she said, "This is Dagmaer, my new friend!" Continuing her efforts to shove the spotlight off of herself, she went on to say, "She's not feeling good and she could really use your help."
