4 the storm brews

The first note Cedric left me was by ruins in the king's chamber, ruins only I'm allowed to go near.

The note read:

Scratch off the major magic ruins or turn them to minor ones, if someone asks say your turning them to greater magic ruins.

That would be hard to do with the ruins that are checked regularly but still doable. I set to work later that day, first on the ruins in my room then slowly worked my way around the castle. It took me two weeks to switch all major magic ruins to minor, without being caught. The next note was in my room on my desk after I had returned from giving the little princess her newest magical tiara.

this note read:

I knew you could do it, I can hear your thoughts just barely now, can you hear mine I wonder?

I smiled at the thought of Cedric being able to hear me, and that I might get to hear the whispers of his thoughts once more.

I remember the day all the ruins were finally in place and I was no longer able to hear his thoughts. My head felt so empty and it had felt like I lost half of who I was, I cried that night which amazed all the others that were around me, for I had not shedded a single tear since we arrived at this place or really shown emotions at all, not even when the king himself put a sword through my mother's heart, but I had cried then feeling lost and truly alone.

I glanced outside my window as another not came into my view hidden under a crystal I keep on the ledge.

this note read:

a storm is brewing and it will be long and dreadful we will put our plan in action in the dead of it please make sure all the wards are weakened and we will do the rest. this is the last before it hits.

I wonder if there are notes I missed and if so where they might be for I feel things are moving too quickly and I have done to little.
