Dear Aiden,
Somehow, when you went to war, we both feared that you wouldn't be coming back. I didn't want to believe that. I told you to come home. I asked you to not leave me and your daughters, but I understand that you were needed for more. You saved the life of Lord Gawain Blanchard, and he will be honored by our House. He went on to distinguish himself at war. Your sacrifice was not in vain. You knew that, though, when you did it.
Yet here I am, finding that I miss you far more than I anticipated. Ours was a political match: a fine arrangement for an alliance. It seemed fitting that the Bird Prince should become the Falcon Duke. We became friends, but ours was never the fiery passion that makes for so many love matches these days. The flame between us was not a brief spark but a well-lit hearth that burns to warm an entire family. When I watched you with our girls, I felt incredibly lucky to have found an alliance with you.
I miss you. I find that my love for you is far more intense that I imagined. I see your eyes in our children. My life is better for having had you in it. You were magnificent, and I will remember you always.
With love always,
Grazia

I have been enjoying having a child. Aileyna's little smile takes the edge off of me. I want the world to be a better place for my little girl, so that when she takes over my seat as duchess, she has it easier than I ever did. I love her dearly.
She looks like her father, which only serves to endear him further to me. She is a sweet thing, even when she is upset. So curious, so new, so little.
I hope she grows up to be as great a woman as her namesake.

I feel quite accomplished in my works over the past couple of days. I have made my brother Lysander officially my Voice and I have met with my vassal Marquessa Quenia regarding the war. And I have enjoyed a great quantity of fine wine.

I will pretend I didn't hear such scandalous admissions from my co-Duchess Dafne Zaffria.
We all know Quartz Hill is far superior in beauty!

Relationship Note on Vayne
Have you ever met someone that allows you to see inside of yourself in ways that no one else can? The Archlector is skilled at this task and his duties, and I look forward to his continued counsel, for I fear I shall need it in the coming weeks.

To say the past week has been overwhelming is an understatement, but I had known upon the murder of Valkieri that I must be the responsible one yet again, to take up the mantle of service in a much heavier capacity in a time of great need. My shoulders may break from the strain but my heart will continue on, for duty is the will of the Gods, and I will not fail again.

Relationship Note on Valkieri
So many things I should have said, done, acted upon. So many regrets that are unspoken and shall remain until our day our souls meet again. Know that you were admired and loved by me, for your steadfast heart and unwavering loyalty to our people, even if you were a stubborn, stubborn man that needed a good dunking in the sea every now and again.
