rethink this thing again. She already had a headache

.

Silas turned to Csenta.

My sister has spoken. Good day, sir. And she turned and walked away.

Good bye Silas, was all Ingred said as she swooshed through the garden looking here and there for her wilsit.

Silas sighed, put his hands in the opposite sleeves and thought, Today is the end of the kingdom. Tomorrow begins the wreck of the next. With this strange thought, he ambled off to pet his owl and to think about looking for a new place to work.

Silas puttered in his laboratory for most of the afternoon when he heard a knock. Without waiting for a word from Silas, Csenta opened the door and walked in talking, You are right magician; this land is doomed. My sister will become too fond of her pampered place on the throne, and I through lack of patience and love of the land my father left, will take it from her. There is the future, and you don't need a crystal to see it. We two are different. She is pampered and flatters herself. I am not that way, but I take my father's inheritance too seriously. We shall fight. It is not fate, it is fact.

Silas did not know what to say. Csenta was right. She seemed to see more clearly than he did just why the two could not rule one land. Again, he found himself under pain of death unable to solve the problem.

I have a solution wizard. Don't look so perplexed. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I am unable to think. You would be surprised at what I know because I'm a woman. It is a great asset!

For the first time in his life, Silas thought about how woman were treated, and he understood that under the rule of this woman, life for all would be good, not because she was a great woman, but because she was a great leader. He decided to do his best to help her, even though it looked as if she were helping him!

What is your plan?

I have a friend who deals in certainty, No, don't ask, you do not know him. With his help, we can solve the problem and bring peace forever, or at least for our ever after.

And how shall he help?

It is not exactly how he shall help, but how you shall.

Silas liked Csenta, but he found her very bossy. He didn't like bossy, but he knew she was as strong as he, maybe stronger when he really thought about it.

Csenta continued, You must see my father again on midweek next. At that time, go to him and tell him of your plan that you have one. Explain that you can settle the inheritance. Call me in at that
