Yrkanis, on Follialy 24, 2613-4
Your Majesty,
Let me first of all give praise to Your clemency. A clemency that hardly surprise me: the great Karan that you have never ceased to be in my eyes could not, indeed, not forgive the devoted subject I am for a misdemeanor of little consequence (at least I will endeavor it is so) on the future of the Kingdom.
Allow me, next, to share with you a suspicion which the reading of the missive making no demands at all You made me bring to my home the other day has made even greater. For the anonymous letter which preceded it (and of which I enclose a copy to Your Majesty) did not fail to intrigue me: presenting itself as the report of the debates provoked by the offer of my resignation (which, Your Majesty will agree, could not fail to follow the aforementioned misdemeanor), it in fact implied that Your Majesty would not limit himself to refusing it, but would in addition entrust me with a mission of intelligence! As if the Kingdom did not have a network of spies as discreet as seasoned and was suddenly forced to openly expose its diplomats!
Thus, while I had already been alerted by the mistake made by this "Ghost of Atys" as for the identity of the Serae protagonist of the incident supposedly reported to Your Majesty by Aniro Karin (in fact, it is Filirae Aylia who was taken to task that day in Fairhaven, not Serae Ayala), I now suspect that he is simply working to sow the seeds of dissension between the Nations of Atys. And this for the account of Akilia Ash Storm, because such a zizanie could well, should it last, leave soon in the Nexus Minor the field clear for the Marauders... to Jena displease!
Matis Aiye !
