Dancing into Hildred’s office with a huge smile on my face causes the draconian to stare suspiciously. She studies me, searching for whatever has me in a good mood, but I’m not going to keep her in suspense. “I’ve hired a manservant!” I announce, producing the keyring for her inspection. “He’s a half-orc named Berklak, and here are his qualifications, and he requests a sponsorship into the Servant’s Union to add to his keyring, please and thank you.”

Hildred takes the keyring, eyes narrowed as she looks at each key closely to verify their authenticity. “Interesting. Why would someone with this kind of provenance want to be your manservant? Do you even know what this key is?” she asks, holding up the key for the League of Extraordinary Rage.

I nod with a huge smile splitting my face, but I say nothing because one of the rules of the league is that you don’t talk about it.

She harrumphs and places the keys on her desk. “I will verify his CV before I accept this hire. I also need to interview him. Send him to me at midday tomorrow. I will speak with him and return his keys then.”

“Thank you!” I say, dancing over to her and kissing her cheek.

She huffs at me and pushes me away, but I can tell she’s pleased. She loves me. “Get out of here. I have work to finish before I can return home.”

“Yes, Mistress Hildred! Until tomorrow! Ooh, send him to my lab when you’re done with him,” I request as I make my exit with a little twirl of happiness.

She hollers something at me, but I’m too far away to understand her. At least, that’s what I’m going to claim if she asks.

My next stop takes me to my father’s secretary. I don’t want to see my father, and I would prefer to never see his secretary, but if I disappear from the palace on an adventure without at least giving him a note, I might not be brave enough to return. Plus, we’re working on the whole healthy communication thing, remember? It would be irresponsible for me not to give him a heads up.

Reginald adopted his current name when he was put forward as a candidate for his current occupation. Before his name was Fergus, and I guess he didn’t think it was dignified enough for the King’s Secretary. When I enter his office with just a brief knock (the door is open, so I’m not intruding), he looks up and flinches back, scowling at me.

“What is it now, High Sorcerer? The king is quite too busy to see you,” he sneers with exactly zero respect. If Aleron was here, he’d have a completely different tone, but since he knows I have no power at all except over the magic of the kingdom and the magical needs of the palace, he knows that he can get away with being rude to me—the consequences of necromancy being illegal in Fasgard for everyone except the high sorcerer.
