what she needs to do to ease things for everyone else.
Risteard listened as the two unusual females talked for a short time about some of the  miracles
this Ricki had accomplished. His mind filtered through their conversation picking out key elements.
From what he could gather this female was renowned for her abilities to get items no one else could
and she could handle situations others found impossible. His eyes flickered back over the two women
again, noting their unusual beauty and grace. He felt his body stir with desire at the idea of having a
female of his own with white hair. Perhaps it was time to add another female to his house. He
wondered if they came in a larger size.
Risteard observed the way the young Kassisan lord tightened his hold on the tiny female. While he
found the tiny, light haired female fascinating she did not stir his blood sexually. She was too small.
He would be afraid of breaking her. He shook his head and turned his attention back to matters at
hand. The past two hours had been very insightful. He did not like to learn he was being manipulated.
He would send his own men to find the Kassisan male who thought to use him for his own gain. It was
not often that he could be fooled. His concern for his people had clouded the reservations he had at
the male s promises.
 You are in agreement to supply the necessary crystals we need then? Risteard asked focusing
back on Ajaska and Torak who had been discussing the best way to handle the increased need for the
energy crystals.
 Yes. Ajaska nodded.  Torak will return to Kassis and make the necessary arrangements. We
should be apply to supply you with the first shipment within three weeks time.
 In the meantime, we have some reserves on board two of our warships that can be transported
down to help out. Our scientists have successfully replicated the crystals. I can organize a team of
researchers to come to Elpidios with your permission, Torak added.
Risteard looked from father to son. He could see no signs of deceit on their faces or in their
voices, only genuine concern. It had been so long since he had felt like he could trust another he was
reluctant to believe it possible there were others out in the star system with a code of honor that
matched his own.
His head jerked around when he felt a slender hand lightly touch his.  The Houses of Kassis will
not let you or your people down, River said with a comforting smile.  It was hard for me to trust as
well. They will stand beside you.
His dark silver eyes stared deeply into the dark blue ones of the pale-skinned female. For a
moment, he was lost in their depths. He could almost see something in the swirling colors. He jerked
back to the present when she withdrew her hand and nodded his head as he stood up.
 You are welcome to enjoy the hospitality of the palace. I have several meetings scheduled that I
need to attend. I will make arrangements for the necessary supply ships to leave within the next few
days. I would like to tour the Crystal Replication Plant you spoke of personally. I will contact you
shortly with the arrangements, Risteard stated with a quiet authority that conveyed the meeting was
over.
Everyone rose from where they were sitting. Both Torak and Jazin slid their arms protectively
around their mates. Risteard turned and took a step toward Jazin and Star. Before Jazin could stop
him, the Grand Ruler reached out to touch Star s hair one last time with a twisted smile.
 Unusual, he murmured before he let it go and left without another word.
Star laughed when she saw Jazin s expression. He looked for all the world like he would like to
kick the huge, blue guy s ass. She squeezed his fingers to let him know he didn t have a thing to worry
about before they followed the others out of the room.
Chapter 17
Three days later they were heading to a distant Spaceport on the outer rim of the Tearnat star system.
Out of the dozen warships, only three remained. The Blue Star, Jazin s warship and two of the
Tearnat warships. Gril and Madas had departed on the other Tearnat warship after Gril had received
a report that there was an small uprising of rebels on his home planet. Torak and River had returned
to Kassis while Ajaska took another ship to the Dramentic star system when the Alliance council
reported a disturbance on the outer edge of their system. Ajaska s heated curses could be heard as he
made arrangements to leave. He took six warships with him to subdue the conflict. The last remaining
Kassis warship developed engine problems and was currently still in orbit around Elpidios until the
repairs could be completed.
Star frowned as she thought of all the events that just suddenly seemed to explode all at once. She
wasn t the only one thought that either. She had listened in before the others left that it was very [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
