Dear Father and Mother, It's been four months since my last letter. The days show no sign of warming, but I hope you are keeping well. The instructors here are really putting us through our paces, and His Highness is a demanding training partner to say the least. Still, I'm managing to enjoy myself.
I'm writing to let you know that I've been asked to join the Duscur trip planned for the Horsebow Moon. I know Father was rather concerned about such a possibility last we met but...hardly trained enough, so in the worst case scenario I could be his human shield. When I joked about such a thing, His Highness said he didn't find that funny...
Maybe in a break between discussions in Duscur I could...get...plan to return to the castle. I want to see how far Felix...with my own eyes. Tell him not to neglect...for me, will you? If he ever hopes to best me, let alone His Highness, he'll have to start training by dragging boulders up a mountain...
P.S. The other day I received a very nice dagger from... sent it to Galatea with a letter... If she ever comes to Fraldarius, let her know...how much I miss... ...nn Govan Fraldarius
