An Old Friend
(Since leaving the realm of Joppo as Mesh took over the city, Beatrice has tried to keep in touch with a couple of the morehonourable nobles of Mesh, namely a Count Purple whom she took a liking to while they were discussing which realm she would join upon Joppo's fall. Here follows some of the letters between the two nobles.)
Letter from Purple:
Lady Beatrice,
Never doubt your beauty, neither in face or in soul. I doubt that your husband could have forgotten your excellent attributes while I also earnestly hope there is nothing dire preventing his response. I pray that you have gotten his letter even before this arrives.
I am sorry you have been distracted by the silly squabbles out this way, but since Joppo was once yours your interest is natural. It might even be amusing to see the odd errors going on if it is not among your own concerns. I agree with your distaste for dueling and have vociferously railed against that barbarism in Mesh. Ease your mind, there is no talk as yet of death-play, although the reaper often visits although unbidden.
I am very pleased to know how well your nation is doing. Heen is blessed to have your experience and wisdom with them. I would much like to come see your land myself. It would be a new and mysterious experience for me.
I've seen reports that some of your people are visiting th City of Reeds. You might want to pass on that the heyday of Reed's tourist industry might be approaching a slump for a while. Even the crags of Ren Madragas may soon have more diversion and culinary pleasure for the curious traveler. If your friends wish to travel through Naraka or Bajit I'm sure my friends will be as kind as you and I have been to each other.
It always brings me joy to see your seal upon a message. Now I set my own seal hereupon and hope this finds you well and happy.
Purple
Count of Chot
