Satsume's question gave Paige pause. How many ears had her escapades reached? She wondered if this would increase the difficulty of getting more information. She too looked around to make sure no one was in earshot. Paige had worked with Satsume before; she felt he could be trusted. That being said, the librarian spoke in whispers. Her tone was far more somber than when they had first met.
"I was doing research on Ostian lineage, specifically on the current royal family. Someone had burned our only copy of the Ostian bloodline. Hundreds of years of history were lost...except for a name. The Emperor's name. I was hoping I could use that name to find out more. Something that could make me understand what Lycia is going through. I haven't found anything like that yet...but."
Paige looked around once more. The information she had was too valuable. And yet, people had to know. The empire may be able to stop her, but they couldn't stop everyone. Still, Paige wanted to be alive long enough to actually find the truth. That wouldn't be terribly long if a spy was listening.
"I can't say more. Not here. Is there somewhere we can speak in private?"
