Furious does not even begin to describe the tomboyish knights disposition as she stalks back into camp that knight. Stupidity. Utter and complete stupidity. Yeah the viscountess pirate is dovi's cousin, and family, but she's SO STUPID. So Imogen does the only thing she can, she snatches up pen and paper and with hands trembling in anger, not fear, begins to pen the news home.


It's Imogen, this letter isn't formatted with those from, to's, dears, and loves, in a sec you'll understand why.

You mentioned one day we might consider having a family. Well before we do I wanna know if insanity runs in your family. Because your cousin is nuts.

Viscountess Mercy d'Juliano, after instructing her house NOT to pay ransom, has just traded herself as a hostage. It wasn't even for Bethany Tarris, it was for the COMMONER. I don't even know his name, some captain or pirate who works for her. Like i'm not getting into a classist argument or anything, but she has lands, she has a family, she has responsibilities that the commoner doesn't, and now she's TRADED HERSELF WITH NO RANSOM COMING

Anyways I don't know what you'll do or think, and i'm sorry i can't be there for you when you get this, but she's your family and I thought you might want to know.


Once again Ludovic receives a letter with confusion knitting his brow. This time however he does not wait two days to reply. Instead he goes directly to his uncle, Percival d'Juliano and thrusts two letters and a writ of credit into his hands. "Take an air ship to Duval. You'll see why when you read that letter." He tells Percival. "And do me a favor and give Imogen the other letter and this box if you can."

The letter that is intended to be delivered into Imogen's hands by Lord Percival reads:


We do suffer from a tendency to excessive bravery, yes. We'll talk when you get back. The man who gave you this letter is Mercedes' father. See what you can do to help him with this problem. Are you going to tell me whats going on Imogen? First Mercy asks me to send troops and now this. Ludovic.


The box has a black cavalier hat circled with a bright golden ribbon that forms a large and decorative bow on one side.


On my way home. Things went south. We weren't able to negotiate. Not sure if your cousin is still prisoner or managed to escape, but we weren't able to find her. Bethany Tarris is safe though.

Also you chose an odd time to send a HAT of all things, but i like it, thank you.
