My office stays crowded for a little more. I continue to sign declarations that my brother and ladies in waiting copy.
The ink stains reach our elbows, and our faces are not less dark from tiredness. The weather is hot today, perfect for relaxing in the garden, but we are too busy. When everything is over, I will seriously rest.
Also, my right hand is starting to ache. Shall I learn how to sign with the left one? Oh, but I am already using the left hand for the sigil.
I also need to come up with a way to distribute the declarations. I can't just tell the names of the Mages I know to the soldiers. I can't be sure anyone else won't hear. But I shall trust them at least a little.
I can give them the address of some people that report to my mother without telling them the details. They will deliver the messages further.
However, if one of them is discovered, it could get pretty bad.
