IT IS NOT OFTEN that I pen such a heavy-handed response; in any other circumstance, I would resort to a far more diplomatic approach in lieu of the conflict that seems to run amok within my Courts this day. The slanderous stain laid upon the Grand Lord’s name, however, is something I cannot simply neglect, and thus, I address it here.

 

MISTER VIRGIL KORT, a man who has strayed so far from GOD’s righteous light, now sinks to the depths of depravity as a kinslayer. Your hands are stained in the blood of your very own kinsmen, yet those claws of yours foolishly put pen to paper nonetheless; ergo, I rebuke your baseless claims. The lies you spew are nothing but the desperate cries of a tainted soul seeking to cast shadows where there are none.

 

HERE YOU STAND NOW at the precipice of your own undoing, your name forever tarnished by the vile deeds you have committed. Your treachery, made glaringly blatant by the poisonous lies woven and innocent blood spilled, has ignited a fire that will not be so easily smothered. Know this, Virgil Kort: your fate is sealed in the flame of retribution, the likes of which you could never fathom. 

 

Will you stoke this flame, Firr Kort? Choose wisely.

All of Haense simultaneously shouts "YASSS QUEEN!!!"

 

 

Meanwhile, the more methodical Anabel Colborn is preparing to make her move as she pens a letter atop her piles of invoices, commissions, and works in progress. Soon enough, she hails a messenger boy and dispenses him to carry her invite to the Kortrevich Residence, bearing both the Countess Kortrevich and Grand Lord's names upon it.

[critter 2473]

The missive, its writer among his oldest friends, does not yet reach the Grand Lord; he sits in a quiet patch of the Northern forest fletching, with a steady hand and a grim resignation, barbed arrows.

 

But it will. And his loyalty to the Queen, already hers by right, will briefly warm him with a bone-deep gratitude.
