Chapter 317: Mother's duties

After greeting the two ladies and setting in motion the plan to make Lorene leave, I focus on the second part of my work.

The archives.

The rooms hosting the official documents are large, dusty, and rather dark. Most of the notes are uncatalogued, and some aren't in order by date. The most the keepers have done is to keep them sorted by year and subject. However, every box is a whole mess.

«I'd like to take a look at the documents from the year his majesty became Emperor,» I say to one of the young lads spending their training period.

They look at me with a frown until I show the pass the Emperor entrusted to me. With this, no more questions are asked.

I start from the recent documentation. I want to understand how to search for what I need without having to ask where to look.
