Year 822, Week 36, Cordelia
My dearest Castien,
Do you think that if I don’t write your title that you will cease abusing it? Or will this incite your taunting all the more? I suppose I will discover in your next letter.
It is most unfortunate to discover you drink everleaf tea. I only do so on desperate occasions. It is positively atrocious. Peppermint tea is far superior.
In regards to dueling class, I will not give up, mostly because I cannot. You asked for a secret, and I shall give you one. I do hope you will keep your end of the bargain.
I made a deal with my father in order to attend the academy. I have to be at the top of our class, or else I will face less than favorable consequences. There. A secret for a secret.
Your turn,
Wren
Ps. I was surprised to find your letter on my evening tea tray. I wonder, did you put it there, or Heathford? I hope it was you, as I rather enjoy the image of you placing it there when Blossom wasn’t looking.
