Nowadays, the situation had largely calmed down. Since the Empress' birthday, the conflicts and fighting in the Empire had subsided to the point where we could count them on one hand. Sure, we still had to be on guard when we went out, but we could finally breathe and enjoy the outdoors. Angela and Keith had once again taken me to the Peak Library in Breddon. The director of the library had welcomed me once, and invited me to have tea with her. She thanked me for mentioning the name of the library to people around me, because more and more people were interested in the books, and its popularity had soared. As a reward, she gave me permission to access certain sections of the library, normally allowed only to scientists, scholars, etc. I was more than honored to be allowed access and to receive this award. Now I would be able to learn more things myself.
