Relationship Note on Niccolo
Do you remember when I was thirteen and we road south of Lenosia, out of reach of the the walls and its gardens, to hunt boar?
I'd never seen a spear thrown so far as when you'd done it, yet I knew I could out-throw you. I did, of course, but that wasn't the point - I missed. It wasn't about power and throwing it far, it was about hitting your mark. You always knew how to utilise power to its best effect, rather than simply go wild with it. I think that's why we are where we are today despite our challenges.
We should hunt again, when this is all over.

It wasn't me. I even forget to feed my snake sometimes. I'm certainly not going to feed yours. The offer stands, however, if it ever gets too much. I can drown it.

"Whelp". Really, uncle? I'm not a puppy. I will bite you though, if you keep that up.

Relationship Note on Eleyna
Princess Eleyna Velenosa, Hand of Lenosia. Black Widow no longer, we pray. My betrothed, soon to be married. Paler than a moonflower and sharper tongued than Mirror Blade, when she deems to be.

There are sometimes matters that must be handled with questionable tactics, there are those who must play the villain so that others can be the hero in the stories we tell.
The world is not black and white, nor is there a single grey span in the middle of it but many shades.
The Mirrorguard will commit themselves under my lead to those tasks which others would refuse. In defense of the Velenosa, the Lyceum and the Compact as a whole, we will be the last to stand and the first to strike.
"Unbroken until the Thirteenth's final reap."

I forgot how much nettle extract hurts when applied directly to a wound.

I would far rather provide the pain than experience but for your sister, I will suffer, if that is what I must.

Relationship Note on Serafine
You do realise that after throwing a challenge, it's generally the one who receives it that gets to pick their terms, right?
I quite like shoes. I might have common blood but I was raised amongst royalty, not Shavs, you know.

Relationship Note on Eleyna
If I am Dark Prince, you are my Dark Princess. You need something to replace that 'Black Widow' moniker, as it is. If you ended up missing it, you might finish me off just to reclaim it. I won't let that happen.
I am honoured to be your intended, Princess Eleyna Velenosa, Hand of Lenosia.

Relationship Note on Serafine
This is a compliment, sister-to-be. Caith Nettle extract isn't precisely cheap, you know. Either way, whomever wins or loses, it will be in honour of Eleyna's immense worth. I am, in truth, one of the luckiest men alive right now.
Men aren't living very long right now either, but that's besides the point. Just ask her not to make me her fourth dead husband, yes?

Princess Serafine Velenosa,
I hereby accept your challenge - a duel to first blood - over the betrothal of myself to Princess Eleyna Velenosa.
We will fight in Reflection Square a week from now where the other challenges may also take place alongside.
Our swords will be dipped in the unpleasant Caith Nettle extract to demonstrate the pains and discomforts we go through for those we love. With proper attention by the Mercies present, the searing burn and agonising rash will be but a shadow of what we endure after its initial onset.
We will fight in leather armour alone, as typically chosen by the finest Lyceum duelists.

The gala was a fitting send off, one where the walls were draped in aeterna in a reflection of mourning. Now we move on, to greater things and a new era of House Velenosa.

I'm not sure that's how you water plants you know, Luca. If they die, the house gardener will have your head.
