Dear Brenwal,

  I hope you have been well.

  ?denora has arrived safely back in my care.

  Please thank Lydy for the dresses on behalf of Konstanze, Mina, and I. She has done an excellent job—as always. I look forward for when my first opportunity to wear it arises. We all greatly miss her presence at the Crown.

  A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  My primary reason for writing you is related to Nefen’s ships which ?denora has told me were off the north shore of Ianor?—I am aware of the distance, she said she needed to use your telescope view them properly, but this does not matter. Do you have any additional information? I would like to know everything you know regarding these ships.

  On Behalf of the People,

  Gekaryna Herst IV
