Interlude: Lumin
Chancellor Lumin sighed as another stack of reports was laid in front of her.
Ever since the siege started, she'd converted her family manor into a command center of sorts, and that meant that she was at the center of the goings on in the city as more and more nobles escaped by ship.
She'd alternated her duties to the city with shoring up the worst cracks in the city barrier, and she was, in a word, exhausted. Only the Mayor and the Meister of the Adventurer's Guild staying around had saved her from taking on all of the city's needs herself.
Fortunately, she had full access to the only supply of coffee in the world, and she was going through it as fast as it could be made, with a full team of druids now cultivating the beans on her property day and night while her butler, a mage in his own right, had the means of processing them with only a week of experimentation and Professor Urvi snapping at him every other moment.
