TO LADY TRUTHFUL II

[kuerbis 3802]

 

Issued and averred by the office of the

IMPERIAL CROWN

 

 

✠ TO THE COWARD WHO CALLS HERSELF ‘LADY TRUTHFUL’;

 

The world now knows you are nothing but a coward, hiding behind her fraudulent ink with nothing to back your words. You shall be relegated to the shadows where you came from. The child, your paperboy, his name is Coil. He is an orphan, supporting multiple siblings after his parents deaths. Those are the kinds of people, the kinds of children you employ to hand out your slanderous, treasonous papers. 

 

To any other paperboys that find an edition of Lady Truthful in their stack, at any point in the future; burn them. 

I acted merciful once; do not expect continued mercy to collaborators. 

 

Coil has been released unharmed. He and his siblings shall be provided for, by myself. You, however, have shown the world who you truly are. Are you proud of yourself? 

Stop writing. Lay down your pen at once; this is my last warning to you and those who might support you. Continue to disobey imperial commands and you shall one day find your own head upon a spike at the gates to Rittersburg.
 

 

AVE IMPERIUM!

DOMINVS VOLVIT, SIC FACTVM EST

 

[LADY TRUTHFUL 277]

To Valentina d'Asturias,
 

There is nothing fraudulent and cowardly about the truth. I told you previously, I am no foe of yours, but you continue to force this author's ink against you.

 

You provide mercy when it suits you--only when you know that the world will seek you out as a monster. You are the true coward here. You threaten to de-hand a child, then turn around on your word because you realize how cruel it is, how desperate you truly are to capture me. Is my identity worth the lives of children? Innocent, hardworking children? You realized that far too late, now I see you for who you are. A fraud.

 

My identity will not be discovered, no matter how many soldiers you deposit out to search. Try as you might, this author is everywhere. If not for my lurking in the shadows, you would've been unaware to your impending death. You needed my guidance, but you are simply too proud to accept it.

 

Until next time, my biggest fan.

Fare thee well,
Lady Truthful

Another homeless fiend wanders the sewers, bumping into Shamizir.

"Aaahah. Yeah. No, totally."
