[For Rachel Adesina]
Cordelia had a remarkable way of walking. Even when she wasn't in a hurry, she walked fast, the heels of her shoes loudly clacking on the stone tiles beneath her feet. She always seemed rushed, but there was simply so much in life to see, do and explore. If Carpe Diem was a person, it would be Cordelia.
The brunette was rushing through the corridors again, making small talk here and there with cabinet members and scholars in her path. Some smiles here, some chuckles there, and then she was on her way again. Clack clack clack, her heels making her presence known to everyone with ears.
She had met with most of the cabinet members already, but she hadn't talked to the Minister of Enchantments yet. The King's Hand was on her way to the minister's office, though, wanting to change that she hadn't talked to her yet. Cordelia wondered how much they would have in common. If she wasn't mistaken, she was twice Rachel's age, but there was no age restriction to wanting to talk and to be interested in enchantments. She used enchantments in her everyday life as well.
A Minister if Enchantments would surely be important, sooner rather than later. The Eldouir were close, and she knew her nephew Akagi wanted to get rid of them just as much as she herself. She wondered what Rachel and Akagi had in mind, and what enchantments they'd design to help them fight the Eldouir.
Cordelia knocked on the door and waited a moment for a response before walking in. "Good morning", she said with a big and kind smile on her face. "Cordelia Olivarius, king Akagi's Hand. I'm not sure whether an introduction is necessary, but it certainly can't hurt!" She hadn't been an official politician before Akagi had asked her to be his Hand, and she had married into the family, so she wasn't that well known to most people. "You're the Minister of Enchantments, correct? Might you perhaps have time for a little chat?"
