To His Majesty, King Drewer Koeh-Styer, and the Honorable Members of His Counsel,

  I will arrive with five attendants and ten of my personal guard, whose presence will ensure the proper order and dignity of my visit. These companions act as extensions of myself, and I have full confidence in their conduct before Your Majesty and court.

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  I also request that one seat be given extra space to accommodate a distinguished member of my retinue, preferably to the right of my own. I trust this arrangement will reflect the respect and courtesy between our realms.

  Given under my hand and seal, upon the 25th day of the 10th Maiden in the 1063rd year of the Guardsmen.

  The Grace of the Pale Lady be upon you.

  Gekaryna vela’Herst ove’Kingdom of the Great Moon of Our Lady Luhnylla.
