Year of the Boar, Sixth Month, Day 5 - Postscript.

My ankle seemed slightly better today; it did not hurt when I moved my leg so I decided to try and walk across my room. It was painful, but not unbearable which leads me to believe that with two or three days more rest, I may be able to make my escape.
I have been giving this matter of ... Broken Rampart... some thought this evening. I cannot help wondering whether Nanami has somehow mistaken his name.... I mean, there is no House of Broken Rampart... and in all my study of history, I do not recall ever seeing one. So who is he? Could he be from outside of the Kingdom... ? If that were so... what could he possibly be doing wandering around the Ninth...? But on the other hand... if Nanami has mistaken his name... who could he be? All the current Ruling Lords are accounted for... I suppose he could be travelling under a false identity but what is Itsuki doing, dragging the Ruling Lady of Dying Crane from her chambers in order to offer Hospitality to a minor lord...or a lord from an outlying Kingdom... it simply breaches protocol; I cannot understand it at all... unless Itsuki has seen this as an opportunity to somehow further whatever nefarious scheme she is embroiled within and merely wishes to cause Yuika more pain... This requires more thought before I send the bird back to Nanami.
