[Many of his new undertakings would be extremely dangerous. If he were to be successful, he needed to maneuver through them all.]
The nursery attendants... Yes. Many of them assisted with raising His Radiance himself. Their words would have more influence than their status would imply.
[They were from important families, no doubt, but often overlooked in favor of more prominent figures.] They would be excellent allies. ...I could send a gift, and perhaps open up a dialogue that way.
[He never had any reason to become acquainted with the infant's attendants. Their roles were very separate. But, simply inquiring about and sending well wishes to the new prince shouldn't draw any suspicion.] The majority of them would have the well-being of His Radiance and his son at their forefront of their minds.
[Sometimes it was really obvious who he respected and who he didn't. Those in the nursery were like the Empire's equivalent of Jared Hester. Mostly overlooked yet highly regarded when thought of. He met Regis' eyes as he glanced up from his pondering.]
That is a very valuable idea. I am grateful for it.
