Dear Lord Jackal Alexander,
I hope this letter finds you well, and that the Wolfkin Kingdom continues to thrive under your leadership.
I wanted to write and tell you that the knives you gave me have been invaluable. They've earned me respect here in Lumeria—people recognize Whisperwind steel, even if they think the kingdom is just a legend. I've been letting them believe my mother brought the knives from your kingdom, rather than explaining I went there myself. It's easier that way. Fewer questions.
I earned my Culinary Guild certification last week. The knives helped tremendously during the evaluation. Thank you again for your generosity.
She paused then, wondering if it would be a good idea to write the next sentence.
"The worst he could do is ignore my letter."
Marron tied up her hair in a ponytail and continued writing.
