&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;My Queen?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a moment, the woman standing in the center of the room seemed not to hear. Then, slowly, she turned, hands fumbling at a buckle for the armor she wore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What is it?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;My Queen, you have a visitor.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The woman scowled. &amp;ldquo;Do I look like I have time for a visitor? Whoever it is, get rid of them.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, my Queen. I will tell Her Majesty you are not accepting visitors today.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
