Your majesty, king Thedrick Ellesmere, I hope this letter finds you well. Word of your sickness has reached us, and we will keep you in our thoughts during these trying times. I write you today with a proposal and an invitation. My brother, prince Maddox Oldenburg , has yet to wed someone, and I wish to extend an invitation to you, the queen and crownprincess Everest Ellesmere . With the ever present threat of Rodale and the unpredictability of their Marshals, an alliance between our kingdoms could benefit the both of us. I also know that Krolis is still a cause for concern in Illemore, and propose a marriage between princess Everest Ellemore and Maddox Oldenburg to build a foundation for an alliance. I'm aware and understand that agreeing to this over letter is unlikely and it is not expected of you at all. This is why I ask to meet with you. I understand, of course, if this journey is too difficult for you. If you will have us, my brother and I can make the journey to Newbridge. Sincerely, Queen Lorelle Oldenburg

Your Majesty, Queen Lorelle Oldenburg , I received your letter and wish to extend my gratitude for your kind words regarding my health. The days have been challenging, but it is comforting to know that we are in the thoughts of our neighbors during this time. I appreciate the delicacy with which you have approached this proposal. Your suggestion of an alliance between Illemore and Oldenburg through the marriage of Crown Princess Everest Ellesmere and Prince Maddox Oldenburg is not without merit. The threat of Rodale’s Marshals and the unrest in Krolis weigh heavily on all of us, and I agree that a united front could strengthen our positions considerably. However, such decisions cannot be made lightly, especially when they concern the future of my daughter and the stability of our two kingdoms. As you rightly anticipate, it is not a matter that can be settled through correspondence alone. Your offer to meet is a generous one, and though travel for me may be difficult in my current state, I would welcome the chance for you and your brother to come to Newbridge. I am certain a face-to-face discussion will allow us to explore the potential benefits and challenges of such an alliance more fully. It would also give the Prince and Crown Princess a chance to interact. Please convey my warm regards to Prince Maddox. I look forward to the possibility of meeting with both of you soon and furthering the bond between our kingdoms. Yours sincerely, King Thedrick Ellesmere.

Your majesty, king Thedrick Ellesmere,
It is good to hear we agree. My brother and I will make the journey to Newbridge. We will be leaving in two days time and should arrive in three to four days after our departure.
I do hope they get along. If, for whatever reason, they don't, I am more than willing to discuss an alliance still. A marriage would simply serve as a more solid foundation for future generations.
In the meanwhile, we wish you well. We are looking forward to meeting you and your daughter.
Your sincerely,
Queen Lorelle Oldenburg
