Annalise stacked the letters she read neatly on top of each other and picked up another four from the drawer. She realised these letters had recently been sent to Rafael because the king spoke of Rafael returning. It was why Rafael had not gotten rid of them yet.
"Where are the letters about the border?" She muttered.
Annalise wanted to hear what was really happening at the border. She had to rely on Thomas to tell her anything he found out when they met, but he was gathering information around the town, and it wasn't always accurate. She couldn't send Thomas all the way back to the border each time she wanted to know about home, so she had to piece together the stories to try to find the truth.
Annalise looked up from the letters when she heard a loud thud noise on the outside like someone had crashed into a wall or fallen to the floor. Not taking any chances, she gathered the letters and placed them back into the drawer, then closed it.
