Year of the Boar, Tenth Month. Day 27, Postscript.
I am almost amused to report that Rani has already made her move which was to tell Yuika that she has a network of spies about the Kingdom and that Ryouko is one of them. Yuika's response to that was to return to her chamber, dismiss all of the maids from the ante-chamber until further notice and she has refused to allow anyone to go into her chamber since.
I believe she ate early on in the day but she certainly has not eaten since she returned from her talk with Rani. She has been heard crying and screaming periodically and I am at a loss to know quite whether I should open the door and go in to see if I can at least calm her down or whether I should simply let her get on with it.
I am furious about the fact that Rani has some sort of network across the Kingdom; it puts my own at risk. I am concerned that some my own agents may in fact, also be working for her and I am livid that I have never considered this before. More than that, I am now in an untenable position in Dying Crane since Ryouko obviously told her mistress that I had asked her to work for me and I do not know whether she has imparted this information to Yuika. If she has, I cannot be sure whether she has simply said that Ryouko was working for me or whether she has let the existence of my network be known. It would certainly explain the tantrums and I do not see that I have any choice but to confront Rani directly and ask her what she has told Yuika because I must know whether any of my people are in danger as a result of being discovered.
Speaking of my network, a bird arrived a little while ago with the news from Silent Thunder that Kaede is almost certainly bedding Sasanuma. It is of little consequence but I suppose it is nice that at least someone is experiencing a little happiness...news from elsewhere has been scant and I must find a way to stop all communications for the time being. I could do without this. Once I have spoken to Rani and established the extent of the damage, I intend to continue my travels and go to Purple Lightning.
