Nendi Tries a Different Approach

From the look of consternation on the flunkey's face, it was clear that he had not been aware of the man's demise and feared that Nendi would now be angry enough to carry out her threat of violence on him. But the walk to the infirmary had given her time to cool down. "It wasn't really the Royal Bashing Head that I wanted anyway, it was the Locator. No it wasn't, it was the Robe Warden. No it wasn't, it was some clothes that would be more appropriate for a cold and draughty palace than this bikini. So you're going to get some clothes for me - you, not anybody else. And if you refuse, I'm going to tell Prince Alex or Princess Astra just how unco-operative you've been."

"Ah, but to do that you'd have to find them first. Can you?"

1. Nendi realised that, yet again, she was stymied. She had no idea how to find either Alex or Astra in this huge palace.
2. "Actually I can." The flunkey looked at her, trying to determine if she was bluffing.
3. They were interrupted by a couple of mortuary assistants, come to remove the dead body. .
