Julian To Kieran
PRIVATE COMMUNIQUE: DO NOT SHARE ON PAIN OF DEATH
From: Julian Blackthorn of Blackthorn Hall
To: Kieran, King of Unseelie
Well, weâre back from the Seelie Court. Good news: we got the fish slice. Bad news: we didnât learn very much and we raised a lot of suspicion. But Iâm happy to share with you how things went in the hope that you will find it informative. I hope also that you will consider it sufficient exchange for the favor you now owe a phouka. (I am pretty sure that favor will involve asking you to buy a hat.)
We were pretty nervous about going, even with Adaonâs inviteâthe last time we were in Faerie, things were not great. It was all gray smoke and snow and moths and blasted areas of dead land. All of that seems to be over and done with; Faerie looks healthy again. It was autumn there, and the ground was covered in fallen leaves, all red and gold.
Anyway, we followed Adaonâs instructions and entered Faerie through an old barrow at Primrose Hill. We ended up in a forest clearing with two big wooden doors rising up out of the ground. And Adaon was there to meet us, which was nice of him.
But he did not look happy. He hurried over and explained that he had had to tell the Queen we were coming. âThere isnât much that occurs under her roof,â he said, âof which she is unaware. It is how she has maintained her power all this time, in part.â
He looked so miserable that Emma told him it was all fine and we werenât doing anything that the Queen would disapprove of, or even care about. He just kind of shook his head. âOne never knows just what her Majesty will care about. Or disapprove of. She has bid me take you both to the throne room upon your arrival, and so that is what I must do.â
Now I began to feel a bit more nervous. I reminded Adaon that he had guaranteed our safety. He said, âBy the laws of hospitality, not to mention the Accords, she may not harm you or detain you, if your purpose be virtuous.â But he was shaking his head again.
âLet me guess,â I said. âThe Queen has the exclusive power to decide if our purpose is virtuous or not.â
Adaon smiled thinly. âQuite.â But he brought us to the throne room.
The throne room was just as autumn-themed as the clearing. More so, really. But it wasnât about the end of the growing season or being sad that summer was over. It was more like a harvest celebration. There were cornucopias, is what Iâm saying, spilling over with gourds, apples, pears, corncobs. There were hay bales, which is kind of funny since nobody in that throne room has, I promise you, ever baled hay. There were pixies with fiery butterfly wings, circling the ceiling.
The Queen was, not surprisingly, on her throne. She wore a dress that I swear, was entirely made of glittering green scarab beetles sewed together. Her hair was like an explosion of red-gold flames around her face. She doesnât look sickly or emaciated anymore, like she did when we last saw her, and she seemed to exude a power sheâd been missing before.Â
There were the usual groups of faeries scattered around the roomâcourtiers, I guessâgossiping, tittering, sometimes just sitting around being louche. So everything seemed normal there. They barely paid attention to us, just kind of craned their necks over, realized we werenât interesting, and got back to lounging.
I expected the Queen to immediately start insulting us, but she was actually quite cordial. Not warm. But not unfriendly, either. Of course, she did want to be complimented on the dĂ©cor first. She waved her hand around at the throne room and opened with, âYou choose a fair season to visit us.â
âItâs cheerier than last time,â Emma said.
âAnd yet you have chosen to return,â the Queen said, as though she was pleased about it, âdespite theâŠlack of cheer at our last meeting.â
âIt has been a long time since we saw our friend Adaon,â I said. âWe sought the pleasure of his company.â
âSayest thou such?â said the Queen, which I suspect is Faerie-speak for So, thatâs obviously bullshit. Â âAs you must know, it is not outside the realm of my knowledge that your brother is the consort of the Unseelie King.â
âOnly one of his consorts,â Emma pointed out.
The Queen ignored her. âSurely youâve anticipated that I would suspect you of espionage.â
âWe are not here for the Unseelie King,â I said, âbut rather regarding our interests in the Seelie Court. Indeed, our family is connected to the Seelie Court in several ways. As you know.â
The Queen ignored me as well. âYour best defense, it seems to me, is that you are such obvious choices for espionage, that surely Kieran Kingson [I think this was meant to be an insult to you, me or both of us] would be cleverer than to choose you as his spies.â
âThat too,â Emma said.
âWell, then,â the Queen said. âSpin me a tale. What is your purpose here?â
I felt like we had nothing to lose with the truthâwe really werenât doing anything the Queen should care about. So I gave her the whole story: we inherited a house in London; the house is cursed; we want to undo the curse. I emphasized that neither the house nor the curse were fey-related at all. (I did not bring up Round Tom, as I thought it would be distracting to the main point.)
Breaking the curse requires that (among other things) we get our hands on this fish slice; weâve learned the fish slice is or was in the possession of Socks MacPherson the phouka; weâve come to bargain with him for it, and we arranged an invitation through Adaon because we had no way to contact MacPherson directly.
âAll we need to do,â Emma said, âis barter with MacPherson for the fish slice. We can do it right here in the throne room, if he could be sent for.â
The Queen looked very interested all of a sudden. âYou are willing to do the business here, and never enter the Court proper at all?â
I explained to the Queen that we strongly shared her desire for us not to have to enter the Court.
She seemed surprised, but she called over one of the courtiers and murmured to him. âThe phouka will be sent for,â she said. âPrince Adaon, when the Nephilim have concluded their negotiation with him, you will escort them back outside and see them off.â Adaon bowed his assent. âAnd now,â she said, and her eyes flicked over to one side, âI must beg your pardon, as I see that I am needed.â
We stepped aside to let her descend the throne. I saw that a man had come in who I didnât recognizeâbut he was clearly someone of importance given how differently he was dressed than anybody else there. Rather than garb appropriate to court, he was in a gray-green hooded cloak, and his face was obscured by a mask like a falcon head. His clothes were more appropriate to hunting in the woods than anything else, but they were perfectly clean. I didnât know what to make of himâbut I thought I had better pass along his description to you. You said to look for anything new or out of place, and I couldnât help feeling like he was.
We waited around and chatted with Adaon for a couple of minutes and then Socks MacPherson showed up. Weâve met a couple phoukas beforeâone of them is the gatekeeper at the LA Shadow Market, as you might rememberâand I had thought maybe MacPherson would turn out to be one of those, but no, totally different guy. He was wearing a huge round fur hat that his ears stuck through. It was a lot of hat.
 He seemed surprised that the Queen had left us alone, and said he was sorry if we had been harassed overmuch on his account. I said she had probably meant to loom over us but had been called away unexpectedly. MacPherson shrugged and said, âShe thinks everything is a move in some game of five-dimensional chess she is playing. But sometimes, someone only wants to trade me something for a kitchen tool. Speaking of which, I have the fish slice.â
He took it out of a kind of carpet bag he had brought with him, and immediately the Ghost Sensor went off like crazy and he kind of jumped away and hid behind one of the groups of courtiers. Although we could still see his hat. (And his ears twitching above the hat.) So we had to go over and explain that it was just a device that detected the cursed objects we were looking for and that the noise was good because it confirmed that the fish slice was the one we wanted. The courtiers shooed us away; they had some important luxuriating to get to that we were delaying.
Socks grumbled that of course âthat miserable Spoonâ gave him a cursed fish slice. âI donât know why I took the deal,â he said. âI donât have any use for this thing. Iâm a vegetarian.â
Finally he asked what we were offering, we told him a favor from you and explained how it was we were qualified to offer such a thing. He said the offer was acceptable and we took home the fish slice.
To sum up: Socks MacPherson is protected by the Seelie Court but didnât blink at accepting a favor from the Unseelie Court. The Queen remains suspicious, both in the sense that she suspected us and in the sense that her behavior was itself weird. The Seelie Court is definitely hiding something, given how relieved the Queen was the minute she realized we werenât going to actually leave the throne room and enter the court to look around. I have a feeling, based on nothing really â that itâs not a something but a someone that theyâre concealingâif it was an object surely they could just hide it somewhere we wouldnât see it? But, itâs just a feeling.
So thatâs it. My deepest gratitude to you, as always, for all your help. Iâm sure you were anticipating more information than the above, but hopefully it will be of some use to you.
Our love to Mark and Cristina, and to you of course. And above all, glory to Kraig.

Gigi

[Of all my self-insert characters, this is my self-insertiest. I consider myself to be somewhere in the Venn diagram overlap of Mary Poppins, Bugs Bunny and any given Addams, and that's the spot where Gigi comfortably holds court. She's also the manifestation of my use of friendly but weird spellcasters to steer the party in the right direction. Which means I wanted to be sure in the flavor text to emphasize that Gigi's a light touch. She's the kind of character who will craft the PCs magic items, cast a reincarnate spell if one of them dies (because it's way more fun than resurrection, plus she doesn't happen to have that many diamonds on hand...) and point them towards the next adventure, not the sort of character who will do everything herself. ]
Gigi CR 21 CG Fey This woman is fat, jolly and subtly inhuman. Her skin tone is a light purple, shading to red on her hands and feet, and her witchâs hat moves as if something growing from her head is holding it in place.
Gigi is the âScary Fairy Godmotherâ of Varisia, a powerful inhuman witch who helps the people there survive the onslaughts of other monsters. Gigi is a phouka, but rarely appears in her natural form, preferring a humanoid guise. When not appearing as a human, she often takes the form of a gnome or goblin. She lives in a well-hidden cottage in the Sanos Forest, and from there ventures forth under invisibility or disguise to engage in her well-meaning meddling. Gigi prefers to act subtly by giving advice, casting beneficial spells and hexes or pointing people in the direction of a magic item or clue, rather than unleashing her true power at a momentâs notice.
When Gigi does decide to fight, she can be truly terrifying to behold. She is one of the most powerful witches in Avistan, and couples that with her natural abilities as a pooka. She usually fights under cover of invisibility, and uses debilitating spells to end combat quickly and efficiently. Gigi is proud of her magical prowess, but is well aware that a well placed knife can solve some problems spells cannot. If she is in a playful mood, or is fighting to teach a lesson rather than kill an enemy, Gigi will instead use Flyby Attack and Greater Dirty Trick to inconvenience and annoy opponents. Gigi is happy to play a support role in a fight, especially if teamed up with her right hand gal, Priscilla.
Gigi began her life as an ordinary phouka in the First World, who spent her time living hedonistically and annoying fey and mortals alike. One day, she came upon a chameleon caught in the web of a giant spider, and she let it free. She spent days watching this lizard, fascinated by its patience in hunting and movement, and followed its slow and steady journey. Eventually, the lizard led her to Mormo, the Goddess of Predators. That Great Old One had been regaining her strength and putting together her plots to strike against the Mother of Monsters Lamashtu. She had sent various reptiles out as living invitations, to extend an offer of allegiance to anyone who might notice. And Gigi was the only one who noticed.
Gigi became an instant convert and Mormo is now her patron, granting spells through that same chameleon (which Gigi named Liz). Since Mormo received a cool reception in the First World, Gigi decided to move to the Material Plane to support Mormo in the Great Game and to win her allies and converts. She chose Varisia as her home base because of the remarkable density of catastrophic events that occur there regularly, as well as the large number of adventurers fighting against said events. Gigi is the patron of several groups of adventurers, not all of whom know her real identity and agenda, and at least one of which knows her solely as a helpful disembodied voice. She is also one of the driving forces behind the increasing integration of goblins into the societies of other humanoids, as she has a soft spot for tricksy little monsters. Â

De Julian Ă Kieran
CORRESPONDANCE PRIVĂEÂ : TOUTE DIVULGATION ENTRAINERA LA PEINE DE MORT
De la part de : Julian Blackthorn de Blackthorn Hall
A lâattention de : Kieran, Roi de la Cour des TĂ©nĂšbres
Eh bien nous sommes revenus de la Cour des LumiĂšres. Bonne nouvelle : nous avons la pelle Ă poisson. Mauvaise nouvelle : nous nâavons pas appris grand-chose et nous avons Ă©veillĂ© beaucoup de soupçons. Mais je serai ravi de te raconter le dĂ©roulĂ© des Ă©vĂ©nements, en espĂ©rant que ça te soit utile. JâespĂšre aussi que tu considĂšreras que câest un Ă©change Ă©quitable contre la faveur que tu dois maintenant Ă un phouka. (Je suis quasiment certain que cette faveur impliquera de te demander dâacheter un chapeau.)
Nous Ă©tions assez nerveux Ă lâidĂ©e dây aller, mĂȘme avec lâinvitation dâAdaon : la derniĂšre fois que nous Ă©tions dans le Royaume des FĂ©es, ça ne sâĂ©tait pas bien passĂ©. Tout nâĂ©tait que fumĂ©e grise, neige, phalĂšnes et terres qui dĂ©pĂ©rissaient. Tout ça semble ĂȘtre du passĂ© maintenant, le Royaume a de nouveau lâair en pleine santĂ©. CâĂ©tait lâautomne lĂ -bas, et le sol Ă©tait recouvert de feuilles, toutes rouges et dorĂ©es.
Bref, nous avons suivi les instructions dâAdaon et sommes entrĂ©s dans le Royaume par un vieux tertre dans le parc de Primrose Hill. Nous nous sommes retrouvĂ©s dans une clairiĂšre oĂč deux immenses portes en bois Ă©mergeaient du sol. Et Adaon Ă©tait lĂ pour nous accueillir, ce qui Ă©tait sympathique de sa part.
Mais il nâavait pas du tout lâair content. Il sâest prĂ©cipitĂ© vers nous et nous a avouĂ© quâil avait dĂ» dire Ă la Reine que nous venions.
- Il ne se passe pas grand-chose sous son toit, a-t-il ajoutĂ©, dont elle nâa pas connaissance. Câest pour cette raison quâelle a la main mise sur le pouvoir depuis tout ce temps, en partie.
Il avait un regard si misĂ©rable quâEmma lui a assurĂ© que tout allait bien et que nous ne faisions rien que la Reine dĂ©sapprouverait, ni mĂȘme dont elle se soucierait. Il a vaguement secouĂ© la tĂȘte :
- Lâon ne sait jamais ce dont Sa MajestĂ© se souciera. Ni ce quâelle dĂ©sapprouvera. Elle mâa priĂ© de vous conduire tous les deux dans la salle du trĂŽne dĂšs votre arrivĂ©e, et câest donc ce que je dois faire.
LĂ , jâai commencĂ© Ă ĂȘtre un peu plus inquiet. Jâai rappelĂ© Ă Adaon quâil avait garanti notre sĂ©curitĂ©. Il a rĂ©pondu :
- Selon les lois de lâhospitalitĂ©, sans parler des Accords, elle ne peut pas vous faire de mal ni vous retenir contre votre grĂ©, si votre but est vertueux.
Mais il a de nouveau secouĂ© la tĂȘte.
- Laisse-moi deviner, ai-je lancé. La Reine seule a le pouvoir de déterminer si notre but est vertueux ou non.
Adaon a esquissé un faible sourire.
- Exactement.
Mais il nous a conduit vers la salle du trĂŽne.
Le thĂšme de lâautomne Ă©tait tout aussi prĂ©sent dans cette salle que dans la clairiĂšre. MĂȘme davantage. Mais ce nâĂ©tait pas par rapport Ă la fin de la pĂ©riode de vĂ©gĂ©tation, ni Ă la tristesse que lâĂ©tĂ© soit fini. CâĂ©tait plutĂŽt comme une cĂ©lĂ©bration des rĂ©coltes. Ce que je veux dire, câest quâil y avait des cornes dâabondance dĂ©bordant de calebasses, de pommes, de poires, dâĂ©pis de maĂŻs. Il y avait des ballots de foin, ce qui est assez drĂŽle parce que personne dans cette salle du trĂŽne nâa jamais fait de ballots de foin, crois-moi. Des pixies avec des ailes de papillon ardentes faisaient le tour du plafond.
La Reine Ă©tait, sans surprise, sur son trĂŽne. Elle portait une robe qui Ă©tait faite entiĂšrement, je te le jure, de scarabĂ©es dâun vert Ă©tincelant cousus ensemble. Ses cheveux encadraient son visage comme une explosion de flammes rouge dorĂ©. Elle nâa plus lâair chĂ©tif et dĂ©charnĂ©, tel que la derniĂšre fois que nous lâavions vue, et elle semblait irradier un pouvoir qui lui manquait avant.
Il y avait les groupes dâelfes habituels dispersĂ©s dans la salle â des courtisans, je suppose â commĂ©rant, gloussant, assis avec indĂ©cence. Donc tout paraissait normal de ce cĂŽtĂ©-lĂ . Ils nous ont Ă peine adressĂ© un regard. Ils ont simplement tendu le cou, compris que nous nâĂ©tions pas intĂ©ressants et repris leur flĂąnerie.
Je mâattendais Ă ce que la Reine se mette tout de suite Ă nous insulter, mais elle Ă©tait en rĂ©alitĂ© assez cordiale. Pas chaleureuse. Mais pas hostile non plus. Ăvidemment elle a voulu que nous la complimentions pour la dĂ©coration dâabord. Elle a dĂ©signĂ© la salle du trĂŽne dâun grand geste de la main et entamĂ© la conversation :
- Vous avez choisi une charmante saison pour venir nous rendre visite.
- Câest plus fun que la derniĂšre fois, a remarquĂ© Emma.
- Et pourtant, vous avez choisi de revenir, a commentĂ© la Reine comme si ça la rĂ©jouissait, malgré⊠lâabsence de fun lors de notre derniĂšre rencontre.
- Nous nâavions pas vu notre ami Adaon depuis longtemps, ai-je dĂ©clarĂ©. Le plaisir de sa compagnie nous manquait.
- Si telles sont vos paroles, a répliqué la Reine.
Je suppose que ça se traduit par « Câest clairement des conneries ».
- Comme vous vous en doutez certainement, je ne suis pas sans savoir que votre frÚre est le consort du Roi de la Cour des TénÚbres.
- Seulement lâun de ses consorts, a corrigĂ© Emma.
La Reine lâa ignorĂ©e.
- AssurĂ©ment, vous avez anticipĂ© que je vous soupçonnerais dâespionnage.
- Nous ne sommes pas ici pour le Roi de la Cour des TĂ©nĂšbres, ai-je dĂ©clarĂ©, mais plutĂŽt pour nos intĂ©rĂȘts Ă la Cour des LumiĂšres. Notre famille est en effet liĂ©e Ă la Cour des LumiĂšres de plusieurs maniĂšres. Comme vous le savez.
La Reine mâa Ă©galement ignorĂ©.
- Votre meilleure dĂ©fense, selon moi, est quâil est si Ă©vident que lâon vous choisisse comme espions, que certainement Kieran Kingson (je pense que câĂ©tait censĂ© ĂȘtre une insulte envers toi, ou moi, ou nous deux) ferait un choix plus rĂ©flĂ©chi.
- Câest bien vrai, est intervenue Emma.
- Eh bien, a lùché la Reine. Racontez-moi une fable. Quelle est la raison de votre venue ?
Jâai pensĂ© que nous nâavions rien Ă perdre avec la vĂ©ritĂ© â nous ne faisions vraiment rien dont la Reine aurait dĂ» se soucier. Alors je lui ai racontĂ© toute lâhistoire : nous avons hĂ©ritĂ© dâune maison Ă Londres, la maison est maudite, nous voulons rompre la malĂ©diction. Jâai insistĂ© sur le fait que ni la maison ni la malĂ©diction nâĂ©taient liĂ©es au Petit Peuple. (Je nâai pas mentionnĂ© Round Tom, puisque jâai pensĂ© que ça nous Ă©loignerait du sujet principal.)
Pour rompre la malĂ©diction, nous devons (entre autres choses) obtenir cette pelle Ă poisson. Nous avons appris quâelle Ă©tait ou avait Ă©tĂ© la propriĂ©tĂ© de Socks MacPherson le phouka. Nous sommes venus nĂ©gocier avec lui pour la rĂ©cupĂ©rer, et nous nous sommes arrangĂ©s avec Adaon pour recevoir une invitation parce que nous nâavions aucun moyen de contacter MacPherson directement.
- Tout ce que nous voulons, a continuĂ© Emma, câest faire du troc avec MacPherson pour rĂ©cupĂ©rer la pelle Ă poisson. Nous pouvons faire ça juste ici, dans la salle du trĂŽne, si lâon peut le faire appeler.
La Reine a semblĂ© trĂšs intĂ©ressĂ©e tout dâun coup :
- Vous ĂȘtes prĂȘt Ă rĂ©gler cette affaire ici, sans jamais visiter la Cour Ă proprement parler ?
Jâai confirmĂ© que nous partagions grandement le dĂ©sir de la Reine que nous ne visitions pas la Cour.
Elle a paru surprise, mais elle a appelĂ© lâun des courtisans et lui a chuchotĂ© quelque chose.
- On enverra chercher le phouka, a-t-elle annoncé. Prince Adaon, quand les Nephilim auront terminé leur négociation avec lui, vous les escorterez dehors et leur donnerez congé.
Adaon a répondu par une révérence.
- Et maintenant, a repris la Reine avec un rapide mouvement des yeux, je vous prie de mâexcuser, car je vois que lâon me demande.
Nous nous sommes dĂ©calĂ©s pour la laisser descendre de son trĂŽne. Jâai vu quâun homme Ă©tait entrĂ©. Je ne lâai pas reconnu, mais câĂ©tait clairement quelquâun dâimportant : il Ă©tait vĂȘtu complĂ©tement diffĂ©remment de toutes les autres personnes. Au lieu de la tenue appropriĂ©e pour la Cour, il portait une cape Ă capuche gris-vert, et son visage Ă©tait dissimulĂ© par un masque en forme de tĂȘte de faucon. Ses vĂȘtements Ă©taient plus appropriĂ©s pour la chasse en forĂȘt que pour autre chose, mais ils Ă©taient parfaitement propres. Je ne savais pas quoi penser de lui. Mais je me suis dit quâil valait mieux inclure sa description. Tu mâas dit de faire attention Ă tout ce qui pouvait ĂȘtre nouveau ou discordant, et je ne pouvais pas mâempĂȘcher de penser quâil lâĂ©tait.
Nous avons attendu en discutant avec Adaon pendant quelques minutes avant que Socks MacPherson nâarrive. Nous avions dĂ©jĂ rencontrĂ© quelques phoukas avant â lâun dâentre eux est le portier du MarchĂ© Obscur de Los Angeles, comme tu tâen souviens peut-ĂȘtre â et jâavais pensĂ© que MacPherson serait comme eux, mais non, câest un type complĂ©tement diffĂ©rent. Il portait un immense chapeau rond en fourrure dâoĂč dĂ©passaient ses oreilles. CâĂ©tait beaucoup pour un seul chapeau.
Il semblait surpris que la Reine nous ait laissĂ©s seuls. Il a affirmĂ© quâil Ă©tait dĂ©solĂ© si nous avions Ă©tĂ© tourmentĂ©s outre mesure Ă cause de lui. Je lui ai prĂ©cisĂ© quâelle avait probablement eu lâintention de nous surveiller de son regard menaçant mais quâelle avait dĂ» partir Ă lâimproviste. MacPherson a haussĂ© les Ă©paules :
- Elle croit que tout est un mouvement dans sa partie dâĂ©checs Ă cinq dimensions. Mais parfois, quelquâun veut simplement mâĂ©changer quelque chose contre un ustensile de cuisine. En parlant de ça, jâai la pelle Ă poisson.
Il avait avec lui une sorte de sac fourre-tout dont il a sorti la pelle. Tout de suite, le DĂ©tecteur de FantĂŽmes a sonnĂ© bruyamment. MacPherson a sursautĂ© et est allĂ© se cacher derriĂšre lâun des groupes de courtisans. Mais nous voyons toujours son chapeau. (Et ses oreilles qui tremblaient au-dessus du chapeau.) Alors nous nous sommes approchĂ©s et lui avons expliquĂ© que câĂ©tait simplement un outil qui dĂ©tectait les objets maudits que nous recherchions, et que le bruit Ă©tait une bonne nouvelle puisque ça confirmait que la pelle Ă poisson Ă©tait bien celle que nous recherchions. Puis les courtisans nous ont Ă©loignĂ©s ; nous les empĂȘchions de reprendre leur important badinage.
Socks a grommelĂ©, câĂ©tait Ă parier, ce « minable Spoon » lui avait donnĂ© une pelle Ă poisson maudite.
- Je ne sais pas pourquoi jâai acceptĂ© ce marchĂ©, a-t-il poursuivi. Je nâen ai mĂȘme pas lâutilitĂ©. Je suis vĂ©gĂ©tarien.
Il nous a enfin demandĂ© ce que nous avions Ă offrir, nous lui avons annoncĂ© que câĂ©tait une faveur de ta part et avons expliquĂ© en quoi nous Ă©tions qualifiĂ©s pour offrir une telle chose. Il a trouvĂ© lâoffre acceptable et nous avons ramenĂ© la pelle Ă poisson Ă la maison.
En rĂ©sumé : Sock MacPherson est protĂ©gĂ© par la Cour des LumiĂšres mais nâa pas hĂ©sitĂ© une seule seconde Ă accepter une faveur de la Cour des TĂ©nĂšbres. La Reine reste mĂ©fiante, elle avait des soupçons sur nous. Mais il faut aussi sâen mĂ©fier parce que son comportement Ă©tait Ă©trange. Câest certain que la Cour des LumiĂšres cache quelque chose, Ă©tant donnĂ© que la Reine a Ă©tĂ© extrĂȘmement soulagĂ©e au moment mĂȘme oĂč elle sâest rendu compte que nous nâallions pas quitter la salle du trĂŽne pour aller jeter un Ćil Ă la Cour. Mon intuition, qui nâa pas vraiment de fondement, câest quâelle ne cache pas quelque chose, mais bien quelquâun â sâil sâagissait dâun objet, sĂ»rement pourrait-elle le cacher quelque part oĂč nous ne pourrions pas le voir ? Mais ce nâest quâune impression.
Câest tout. Je te suis infiniment reconnaissant, comme toujours, pour toute ton aide. Je suis sĂ»r que tu tâattendais Ă plus dâinformations que le contenu de cette lettre, mais jâespĂšre que tu y trouveras une utilitĂ©.
Embrasse Mark et Cristina pour nous. Nous tâembrassons Ă©galement. Et surtout, gloire Ă Kraig.
