Erasto I : To 'Mardochi ag Hinseli'

[thesaintjaleel 792]

To my noble courtier, Mardochi Musē ag Hinseli, I send you this letter casually in hopes it will find you well.

 

From your own personal valiant efforts, you have amassed a title amongst your people. However, although your name is renowned,  you have not wed – which is the first step to building yourself a legacy. The common dream of all men is to be known by people long after you’ve died. The only way to fulfill that dream as mortals is through stories, however these stories cannot be told in their sincerity by someone who is not your blood. Upon your demise, your titles would be disposed and all your efforts would have been in vain, you would have no children to continue your legacy whatsoever. To alleviate this worry, I have contemplated on ways to establish a closely knit union between our two dynasties without making you a one-sided offer, and so  – I have decided to offer you this. As marriage is the purest form of union, granting us lawful procreation in the light of Alaha – I shall offer you the hand in marriage of a blood relative – Zuwena Maridhia Kiros ag Sulynè, who in relation to me is my first cousin once removed. Of course, if you are to accept this – you’d have to give a dowry to show her father Kiros that you are a pious man. I am the patriarch of our royal house, however I do not believe in giving away the purity of another man’s daughter without their knowledge, even if we are blood. After all, I must set an example for those who succeed me aswell as my fellow courtiers. If you are to accept, send word back to me and I will summon my cousin Kiros for your request. I will, of course, speak to my once removed cousin shortly after sending this letter to you – she has been eager to wed so I don’t doubt she would be ecstatic towards my recommendation. May you find nothing less than serenity and everlasting grace in the light of Alaha.
