Oh yeah, Rasa's definitely suspicious.  Why did Dad have to 
take my Trump?  If he hadn't, things wouldn't be nearly this 
complicated.  She's pretty much guessed I'm an Amberite, but I 
asked her to keep it quiet.  The last thing I need right now is for Eric 
to find out I'm Corwin's daughter.

	Well, Dad did show up at the library, but I missed him anyway.  
Damn.  And he stole all of the Trump decks out of the library.  Double 
damn.  At least Eric didn't catch him.  From the wound on Eric's arm, 
I'd guess they were in a fight, and, if Eric's mood is any indication, 
Dad came out ahead.  At least something is going right today.  I'm 
glad I closed off that hidden passageway before Eric came storming 
in here.  Now, if only he would leave so I could investigate it.  Maybe 
Dad's still down there.

	There's a positive labyrinth of tunnels down here, but no sign 
of Dad.  He must have come into the library through here, but he left 
via another route.  *sigh*  I want my pictures back, damn it.

	Rasa just had to find out what was on the other side of those 
locked doors.  I warned her what would happen.  Why didn't she 
listen?  That shaking must have been felt throughout the castle!  So 
much for subtlety.  Time to clear out of here and continue my search 
for Dad elsewhere.  Maybe I'll have better luck finding him in 
Shadow this time.

Saturday

	Well, if Dad's recovered his memory, it hasn't made him any 
easier to find.  It doesn't feel like I'm making any progress.  I'll 
search for a couple more hours and then head back to Amber.  As 
long as Eric's on the throne, Dad will keep returning there, so it's as 
good a place as any to wait for him.

Sunday

	Amber is under attack, and I'm still not sure by who.  But the 
way Eric is reacting, it must be Dad.  I hope I'm right.  If I'm not, 
what I'm about to do will be a very bad thing.  But I can't pass up 
the chance.  Without the Jewel's interference, Dad's army should be 
able to make better progress.  The trick is to pull this off without Eric 
catching on.

	I did it!  Eric looked pissed as Hell, and I had to stop when he 
eventually Trumped someone, but I bought Dad some time.  I hope 
it's enough.

	Bleys is gone.  Eric dispatched him surprisingly quickly.  
Gabriel tossed what looked like a Trump deck after him, but I can't 
tell if he got it in time.  I guess we'll know if we find a body.  Poor 
Rasa.  I'm not looking forward to breaking this to her.

	Even with Gabriel's help, I think Dad's side is losing.  I wish 
there was something I could do to help, but Eric's not using the Jewel 
anymore, and physical combat has never been my forte.

	Gabriel shot Eric.  I blocked Eric's connection to the Jewel but it 
teleported him to safety anyway.  Shite.  Then Gabriel engaged Julian 
and got the snot beaten out of him once again.  You'd think he would 
have learned from the first time.  Then Dad came in and held 
Greyswandir to Julian's throat, and that what all she wrote.  Julian's 
shackled in the dungeons now.  If only Eric were there as well, my 
day would be complete

	I think he finally recognized me.  Maybe.  He certainly didn't 
act like someone recalling the daughter he abandoned 12 years ago.  
Things are hectic right now, especially since I've assumed Flora's 
duties for him, but we will be talking later.  Count on it.  I want to 
find out why he left me and Mum.  And I'd like my Trump deck 
back.

	I finally got a hold of Rasa.  She asked about her father.  I was 
hoping she wouldn't.  I tried to give her as much hope as possible.  I 
mean, we didn't find a body, so he might have Trumped out.  It could 
happen.  For her sake, I hope it did.

	In case this day wasn't busy enough, it seems that Rasa and 
Alastair and God knows who else have found Brand and they want to 
rescue him.  The question is, who was holding him and why?  Right 
now, I'm not sure releasing him is a good idea.  What if he sides with 
Eric?

	Gabriel asked me to identify a note which said "To Gabriel, with 
love."  It was written in Flora's hand.  Fascinating.  At least he's an 
improvement over Eric.  I wonder if Gabriel returns her feelings?  
He's a hard one to read, that one.

	I told Dad about Brand and he's holding a meeting in the 
library at six to deal with it.  He also gave me a Trump deck.  It's the 
least he could do, since he stole my last one.  I spoke with Colin, and 
he seems to share my reluctance as far as freeing Brand is concerned.  
At least I'm not alone.

	The enormity of what happened today is only now starting to 
sink in.  Eric has been deposed, and my father (MY father) is the new 
regent.  Up until a few days ago, I didn't even know he was alive, 
and now he's here, and he's ruling Amber.  Everything's changed.  
Well, not everything.  I still want to keep my identity secret, 
although for different reasons than before.  Why make myself a 
target as the Regent's daughter?  It's much safer to still be thought of 
as just some Shadow attache.
