A few days later, Crestfallen Castle, in a room somewhere...
"Right Adviser Jarewaii, your guest is here," spoke the man clad in formal wear. "The Doll...Evergarden."
"Let her in, Ssssssingh~~~," came the slithery reply. "If you pleasssssse, dear Sssssingh. This is punisssshment after all for failing at properly guarding the front gate last week."
Right Adviser Jarewaii looked at him mischievously and chuckled.
"I fail once...ONCE...and now I'm serving this bozo for the next 2 weeks," muttered the Head of Security. "Jeez...please return me to my original post, King Arnwood."
"Vamossss, Sssssingh!!!!" the thin adviser gleefully shouted. "Hehehe~~~"
"TSK!" sounded Singh as he went to the door. "For God's sake!"
Singh Heckler turned the door knob and outside...
"I apologize for the wait, Miss Evergarden."
...stood a one-handed Doll.
"No problem at all," was the cheery reply.
"Please come in, Miss Evergarden," motioned Singh Heckler.
Violet walked straight into the room. She spotted the thin adviser sitting patiently in his chair.
"Adviser Jarewaii, good morning," she greeted.
The adviser bowed his head humbly.
"Hello, Misssss Evergarden. I'm glad you accepted my invitation," Jarewaii said. "Please, sit. Take that sofa."
Violet sat comfortably in the sofa offered to her.
"So, what is this about, sir?" she wondered.
Jarewaii raised his hand as if to say "wait".
"We are ssssstill waiting for one more guessssst," he informed her in his own peculiar way of speaking.
Soon a sound came from the door...
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Sssssingh, pleasssse get the door..."
Singh Heckler opened the door once more.
"Hey, Ben," the man at the door spoke. "What's up?"
"Dmitri, take a sssseat!"
The Left Adviser, Dmitri Ballace, quickly made his way to the reclining chair in the corner.
Violet's reserved eyes met his serious ones.
"Hello, Miss Evergarden."
"Right Adviser Ballace...it's been a while."
"Indeed."
CLICK! CLACK!
Singh Heckler suddenly locked the door and then stood in front of it as guard.
