"Aunt," Khan called, watching Princess Rebecca enter the hall. "I'm not bringing William or Felicia to Senerth. I already have too much babysitting to do."
Princess Rebecca's eyebrows arched in surprise, but a warm smile soon broadened on her face. She understood what happened, and the idea made her chuckle.
"Did Thomas convince you to bring Richard?" Princess Rebecca asked, seemingly teasing Khan. "You sure have grown fond of my brother, Nephew."
"He has his uses," Khan scoffed, ignoring Princess Rebecca's teasing smiles. "I don't know what's up with everybody. They think Senerth will be a holiday trip or something."
"It's customary to send promising or problematic individuals to work under great leaders," Princess Rebecca explained. "Families exchanged descendants for political reasons countless times. This isn't much different."
