From Ariadne of Valeria To Lord John Grey, Heimdallhaus, Block One, House Three
Good Sir--
I'm glad to hear that you and Isobel are a good fit. Living in a palace, I've seen more than my fair share of arranged marriages. What I haven't seen are happy ones. For the most part, anyway. I'm sure there must have been an exception or two to the rule, but I can't really remember any.
I should apologize, though. I can only imagine how much you must miss your son. I didn't mean to scratch up any bad feelings. If I did, I'm sorry. But should you ever need to talk about him. Well. Obviously, I'd love to hear more.
As for my adoption, there really isn't much to tell. After I lost my family, I was taken in by my aunt, the royal translator. Her name is Alyssa, although everyone calls her "Lysia." I was ten years old when I came to live with her. I'm not sure she knew what she was getting herself into, taking in such a wild child. But we love each other, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters, isn't it?
A FRIENDSHIP!!!
