Huaisang waves his hand in a dismissively generous gesture at the library around them. The payment has already been provided and will continue. "I expect continued good treatment of the books. There will always be an attendant with you in the library, you may ask permission for any copying you wish to do, but you may read anything you like. I would like the agreement that anything you find in these walls regarding to the Nie Sect will never be discussed, confirmed, or alluded to outside of the upper palace. Anything else..." Huaisang shrugs. "If you work for me, then of course I want you as informed and educated as possible. As for the books you want in the Lan library, that may still be possible. If the Lans become involved in our war, if we win, if you remain at my side through those things... I'll give you permission to access and copy anything you want in their library."
