Admina's Argument

Who in their right mind wants to be Queen? Frustrated by an old enemy and distracted by border rumblings, Aliah really doesn't have time to deal with a disobedient daughter. Tried of being told what she can and can't do, Princess Mina rails against the constraints of her position. Why can't her mother understand that all she wants to do is join the guards and travel the land? As Queen Aliah weaves family tales, of princesses and witches, boys who disappear and humans who can fly, will her daughter realize the importance of these stories and rise to the challenge? And will she do it in time to face the new threat to their home? Admina's Argument is created by Vivienne Lee Fraser, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

"Aliah?"

"Seamus? Give me a moment."

Aliah glanced up from the papers she was studying and spoke to the merchant standing patiently by her desk. 'Everything looks in order here. I will pass the documents on to the king, and he will add them to the offers being discussed with the delegation from Carsten.'

The rather rotund man managed an awkward bow and stammered, 'Thank you, Your Majesty,' as he backed towards the door, which the guard opened for him.

'Can you ask the others to give me a few minutes. I'll let you know when I am done,' Aliah told the woman assigned as her daily protection. The guard nodded curtly and closed the door behind her, leaving Aliah alone.

"Seamus, I am all yours".

"Sorry to bother you. You must have an awful lot to organise."

"I do, but I am certain it will be all cleared up by tomorrow, or at least handed off to Dominic to deal with. How can I help you?"
