From the most noble house of Prowers,
In the mighty kingdom of Cascadrian.
Thank the gods – war has been averted! The entire court of Cascadrian is breathing a sigh of relief that King James’ diplomatic peace mission to the country of Lirana has ended well; the peasants are too busy trying to keep out of debtors’ prison, as Lord Haberry raised the taxes even higher in the King’s absence.
Apparently, King Giuseppe of Lirana (a proud, easily offended man) was aghast that the Cascadrian Royals did not attend his daughter’s (Queen Agnessa of Maresh – Queen Agatha’s sister-in-law) birthday party! The elderly king refused to see that neither his daughter nor his son-in-law were offended by this “grievous insult.” In fact, the Tsar and Tsarina of Maresh understood completely why the Cascadrian Royal Family had been unable to attend (the Princess Victoria’s arm had been paining her for several weeks, causing her to bawl loudly and long and the Crown Prince and Princess Alice had both had severe fevers).
These “pitiful excuses” were not good enough for King Giuseppe, however, and he demanded an apology or else there would be war! Recognizing that his country could not fight any kind of war, King James wrote a letter to his Liranian counterpart, who would only accept his apology if a marital alliance could be formed between one of King James’ children and one of King Giuseppe’s grandchildren (of which he had several).
Therefore, King James decided to pack up his family, so that the prospective brides and bridegrooms could be introduced. The only ones who stayed behind were the Queen and Princess Alice. The King had wanted to bring Princess Alice, but Queen Agatha insisted that “a child of three would be expected to change greatly in her looks between now and when she is ready to be married...if the princess turned out to be ugly, that could jeopardize their chances for a good alliance with Lirana…” The King was forced to concede the point.
The meeting of the two Kings was a great success. Princess Belphoebe was engaged to be married to King Giuseppe’s grandson, Prince François of Delaine (the Dauphin of Delaine); Prince William was engaged to be married to King Giuseppe’s eldest son’s eldest daughter, the Princess Cosima of Lirana.
The Cascadrian Royal Family returned several months later. Seven months after that, Queen Agatha gave birth to a son! The Royal Healers claim that the child is “remarkably healthy for being so premature,” but almost every courtier suspects that this child is, too, Lord Haberry’s natural child.
The young prince was named Nicholas, which just happens to be Lord Haberry’s middle name; Joseph, for King Giuseppe; Benedict, for King Giuseppe’s eldest son, Prince Benedetto of Lirana; and Francis, for King François of Delaine (father of Princess Belphoebe’s fiancé).
