Yes, she's still Lila.  Selma was watching her, and - something really is in her, but she's still herself.

She's not going to ask after herself in the other memories, not with that mid-sentence silence and the hints of demon summoning.  She's not going to ask after Kosvin either - not now, not until she can face hearing... she's not sure whether it'd cause her more grief to hear that Lila does remember his surviving somewhere, or that she doesn't.

"Ser Mattan said you had two spirits in you, but they were both yourself.  But he's worried about you, and I am too... not so much who you are now, but -"

(It's probably a good thing that Selma doesn't ask after Kosvin, because Lila would have no idea how to explain a set of memories where he's a regional hero from several generations ago with no blood relation to her at all.)

"What I'm going to do?  I want to avert the prophecies.  Which means getting stronger and going questing."

"Can't you warn someone else?  If it's that important -"

"It's important, but it isn't urgent.  In the other memories, nothing went really wrong until I went off to school.  So I can wait long enough to be able to do it myself."

She's Kosvin's daughter.  Selma hugs her again.

"I'm not saying 'all right', but - go train, and we'll see."

...About that lack of urgency, actually...

HER HIGHNESS, PRINCESS ALICIA THORN of HOUSE VAUDELLE, on behalf of KING AMBROSE LAERTES in his official person, and furthermore the REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLY of VILLAROSA

-- sends her salutations and blessings upon the upcoming occasion of your THIRTEENTH NAME-DAY, and with such celebration in mind wishes to invite you to the INAUGURAL CLASS of the EXPERIENTIAL PRACTICAL GOVERNANCE PROGRAM, an initiative intending to introduce those new to authority to their duties - and their rights - in a less ad-hoc manner than has previously been done.

It has recently been brought to the Crown's attention...

that those subjects trusted to undertake administrative tasks have not uniformly been provided with appropriate training for the roles they undertake; this is a mistake that the Crown wishes to rectify, through sponsorship of a small training program that will additionally serve to introduce representatives, both new and long-seated, to their fellows, in a small-group setting.

The program intends to offer both a SHORT COURSE, lasting two weeks in a compressed schedule, once per month, and a LONG COURSE, lasting two months, once per season, depending upon interest.

Both courses will cover essential administrative skills, both in theory and in practice; the LONG COURSE will also cover formal etiquette, by the grace of Her Majesty Queen Jethelia, and potentially other useful knowledge....

The official letter continues even beyond the first page with further administrative information, but there is a second piece of mail in the envelope, that opens only in Lila's hands.

Dear Lila,

I regret that I must send a personal message upon the back of such an impersonal communique, but I have not had a better opportunity to initiate contact.

You may recall our prior conversation; I hope you will be pleased to know that both I and the royal family are taking action to ensure that the demon lord your father felled shall not find his return as easy as our shared vision has shown it could have been.  (Ideally, he will not return at all, but there are unfortunately no guarantees in this line of work.)

I have heard that your nameday is coming soon; I would be honored to attend, or to simply send a gift, if you'd prefer.  The duty to the kingdom that you've undertaken deserves recognition, even if it is quite possible that the full breadth of your burden will never be known to anyone but yourself.

I hope this letter finds you well.

Sincerely,

-- Alicia Thorn
