Dear ?ppolonia Humel,

  I am inviting you to Herst Castle on the 1st of Enora. By order of the queen, you are to be dismissed from all duties at the college on that day; please show this to High Priestess Seliani. A carriage will be dispatched to retrieve you at noon; my personal guard will come retrieve you from High Priestess Seliani, so you need not wait by the stables in this weather.

  I would like access to the letter from Mar?l Humel. I will be visiting the Court of King Drewer and his advisors in Styd?n in mid ?laryn, and I wish to know as much as I can about who I will be negotiating with. So please bring them with you.

  Thank you for your cooperation

  May Our Pale Lady smile upon you,

  Gekaryna Herst IV
