Detailed Walkthrough
After completing Cyndassa's quest, enter the room directly to the right of the stairs in the main throne room of Castle Daggerfall. Inside you will find the former queen, Mynisera. Speak to her, and she will say:
Hello (player's name). I have heard much about you. Now you come to me with a very interesting tale of deception. So Cyndassa the maid says that Aubk-i opened a letter from the emperor addressed to me. I can tell you (player's name), that she never delivered such a letter to me. I would like you to investigate this further, (player's name). It could be dangerous to poke into the affairs of Aubk-i without enraging King Gothryd, even though he is my own son. Are you willing?
Accept her offer, and she will continue:
Good. I have long had my suspicions about Aubk-i's loyalty to the emperor. She is a daughter of the late King Cameron, who ruled Hammerfell from his citidel [sic] in Sentinel. My husband King Lysandus, (random God) rest his soul, died at Cryngaine, as did King Cameron. Lysandus [sic] body was not recovered, so he has a monument erected there rather than a true tomb. Ah...my mind wanders. The emperor uses (courier's name) as his messenger in Daggerfall. He could be anywhere in the region delivering missives. However, (courier) is a member of the Knights of the Dragon. Go to (building) in (town) and ask for (knight). He may know where to find (courier). Try to find out why a letter addressed to me was delivered to Aubk-i.
Mynisera will give you a signet ring to identify yourself to your contacts as one of her agents.
Confronting the Queen
If you decide to question Aubk-i about the letter, she will say:
The letter from the Emperor? Actually (player's name) this is rather embarrassing. The letter was stolen from me the same day I received it. I never did read it. I have been hoping that the letter would turn up, or the [sic] the Emperor would send another letter. If you find the letter, I would be most grateful if you would let me personally deliver it to Mynisera.
Questioning the Queen will severely lower your reputation with her and Daggerfall. She will also send nightblades after you periodically to prevent you from snooping any further. As a result, it is recommended that you avoid speaking to her until the quest is complete.
Finding the Courier
Once you leave the castle, go to the town Mynisera told you about and ask around to learn the location of the building where your contact is waiting. Once you locate the building, speak to your contact, who will say:
I am (name). I would not normally tell anyone who is not a Knight of the Dragon where to find (courier). However, I am loyal to Queen Mynisera. I also know that (courier) disemboweled the last person that tried to ambush him. In (time limit) days he is due to be at (palace) in (town). Try him there.
Travel to the town your contact mentioned and look for the palace. The emperor's courier will arrive in the palace on the specified day and remain there for two days afterwards. Enter the palace and speak to the courier, who will say:
Ho! You should be warned that I am a Knight of the Dragon in the service of the Emperor himself. If this is some ruse to ambush me, you will surely not live to regret it. Hmmm. Yes, I am (courier). This signet ring proves that you are indeed in the service of Mynisera. Some time ago I delivered a letter from the Emperor addressed to the Queen of Daggerfall. If I am not mistaken, Aubk-i is Queen of Daggerfall, not Mynisera. Tell Mynisera that I take my duties quite seriously. I would never knowingly deliver a missive to the wrong party. Queen Aubk-i gave me this (piece of jewelry) in gratitude. Show it to Mynisera so that she may know I am a loyal servant and faithful to my Order.
Return to Mynisera in Castle Daggerfall and she will say:
Ah! Now it makes sense. Uriel Septim addressed the message to the Queen of Daggerfall. When he sent it, I was queen. By the time it arrived, my dear Lysandus was dead and Aubk-i was queen. We must find out what was in that letter. I have never trusted Aubk-i. Yesterday I received a letter from Princess Morgiah of Wayrest claiming to know something of the emperor's letter. Now there is a family that seethes under the rule of the Emperor. Return to me if you find out who has the emperor's letter. For now, you have proven yourself to me (player's name). Keep the (piece of jewelry) as a token of my gratitude. I have no desire to own anything of Aubk-i's anymore.
