#sanda mel.

Dear Anya,

May your child be as sweet as his or her mother. It would be terrible of me to not think of your bundle of joy on this day. 

Princess Eleanor

suddenly, she feels awfully horrible for not getting the princess a gift at all. how could she forget ?? she decides then that she will send buckets of rice to the princess, hoping it sums up for an apology. the last thing she needed was to be on the princess’ bad side right after making friends with her. but still, she clutches the bonnet to her chest and squeals with happiness. this baby, she thinks, will be a lucky one.

to my best friend, happy sanda mel. i hope you find the day filled with gifts and love. i saw the cup and with both dracborough colors and a dragon engraved on it i had to get it for you. the hair piece is ruby encrusted as i felt a goblet was not good enough for you. your dear friend, nathaniel.

her eyes sparkle at the goblet, loving the intricate design and especially the dragon portrayed on the side of it. perhaps, she will only choose to drink from this from now on. but then her eyes drift over to the pin with rubies and she fawns even harder. oh, how she loved that man.

my queen,

i am aware more than anything that you wish not to hear from me. in fact, i have not ruled out the possibility that you may exile me, or ask that i remove myself from your service. if that is the case, as it may well be, then i will do as you ask. i wish only for your comfort and safety. this is the shield i was presented with when you first raised me to general. i do not fight with it, for i prefer a smaller shield. it is now - again - yours to do with as you please.

i am sorry for lying to you for so many years, but i could not see another way to go about my life and to be able to know you truly, not as someone you mistrusted.

before even reading the letter, she recognizes the shield. she knows who it’s from, but what does she do ?? she picks it up and gives it to one of her handmaidens. “see fit that this finds where it belongs,” her voice is harsh, despite the harshness not being directed at her servants. she wants not to see anything that belongs to her brother.

dear queen emeline,

for a friend who is unthinkably hard to shop for. i hope your sanda mel is a happy one, and if you need someone to drink with - you know where my chambers are.

- Henry

it’s a lot of gifts, is her first thought. but as she reads the letter, yet another smile forms on her face. her hands trace over the daggers, admiring how fine the blade was. but as her attention is grabbed by the blue necklace, it’s then she thinks: perhaps nathaniel found a good one.

i wanted to keep this for myself. happy sanda mel, you old hag.

-pyros

despite the blatant insult, emeline smiles at the gift. pyros was always known for his rings and the fact that he managed to give her one that represented who she was and was generous enough to give it to her made her elated. taking the black ring off her index finger, she slides the silver one on, admiring the perfect fit.

From Daphne

“I hope you like it!

Daphne”

the necklace is beautiful and red, em’s favorite color. she smiles brightly at the gift, hoping daphne received her’s as well before gently ordering one of her handmaidens to place it around her neck. “i shall wear it to the ball tonight.”

anya,  if he doesn’t marry you, i find you could also use the rattle to give him a good knock on the head. sincerely,  prince pollux

she wants to laugh at his letter, although the gift is nice, perhaps now is when she is truly questioning lucien’s motives. will he marry her eventually ?? she sighs, giving the rattle a shake before placing it among the other baby stuff. “i suppose i should buy him a drink.” she pauses, before shaking her head. “i take it back, he probably drinks expensive wine.”
