Butterfly shrugged. "Maybe they want to join the army?" Butterfly looked at her sister, and saw the worry in her eyes. "Sister, do you love the General?"

 Karol stared at her sister. "Love?...where did you get that idea? He's my general, and my most trusted friend...and about 10 years older than I am." she said, the question catching her off guard. Love was a bit of an odd subject for Karol. Especially, as the scholars never missed a moment to remind her, she would have to marry someday. But hopefully that day would be far away. She already had it planned out. If she didn't find love, she wouldn't marry until she was old and the only people who would still want to marry her would do it for the power. The place may go to hell with that plan, but at least she wouldn't have to put up with it.

Butterfly giggled. "So sister, should we go check on the General?" Butterfly remember how the men had looked rugged, like theives. Shaking her head to clear the thoughts, Butterfly looked at her sister.

Karol paused and nodded "Very well, let's go" she said.

Butterfly followed her sister outside, skipping. "Sister? What do rulers of the town do?"

"Well" Karol thought about it for a moment. "We make sure that our people don't suffer from lack of money, or food. And we handle the tax money, making sure that it's put to good uses. And manage the war...make sure any orphaned children find homes, and make sure none of our civilians are killed." she said "And make sure the emperor gets what he wants" she added, slightly bitterly.

Butterfly's head began to spin at all the things her sister had to do, and one day herself do. "Don't you ever get tired?"

Karol smiled "All the time" she answered. "Of course you always get to take naps when the scholars are talking"

Butterfly felt a sudden rush of shame. While she was playing her sister was working. "Do you mind if mext time you have a meeting, I join you?"

Karol watched the change come over her sister with curiosity. "If you'd like. I wouldn't make you." she answered. "But we do have one meeting coming up. A man...noble that is, claims to have heard the gods in his house, and he's come to us for help. I'm sure you might be interested in that."

"Yes! Something paranormal!" Butterfly found that her lastest obsession, other that trees, was tha after life. She spent hours trying to fighure out a non-satanic way of talking to them.

Karol smiled. "Yes. Though his wife claims it was thieves. He was drunk coming in, and when she awoke, their safe had been looted. Normally she says, she would have suspected her husband, but apparently just a few nights before this, there was a break in."

Butterfly nodded, "Might it be a possiblity that she took the money?" She loved to solve crimes and if she wasn't to take over the town, she would be a detective.

Karol nodded "That may be a possibility but what would she do with it? The housemaid had seen the break-in the time before, and all the slaves there say the wife took care of financial stuff in the first place. Not to mention we have at least 3 witnesses to the the first try. And one man who swears he saw two people fleeing the scene the second time, thought he was drunk, so we can't be sure on that one."

Butterfly thought over the information, the rest of the way there. "Sister, where is the General? He's not here..."
