Book 5 - Prologue
My Dearest Younger Sister, Lunalah,
I greet you with good tidings from the Lu Shui territories.
Having read your letter regarding the Iron Bull, it would seem there is indeed some discrepancy in regard to his demise. As of the writing of this letter, I have been informed that the Iron Bull was safely recovered from the Hell World of Fhae I’ung, as was the Young Master of the Twin River Sect, Jei Su Long.
You have made some bold accusations in your letter, dear younger sister, about Master Jei Su Long, but now that the full cast is assembled, I will see to it that the truth is revealed. As the Academy of Du Gok Bhong falls within the remit of my domain, I will be sending a magistrate to discern this matter fully.
Trust and believe, younger sister, that if this letter penned by yourself, instructing the Iron Bull to murder his own men, is indeed proven to be a fraud, then I will have no choice but to retract my earlier statements and issue the just punishment to my own subjects.
However, if your hand in this is proven, then it will be done so in an official court of law.
I trust I will not have to remind you of the consequences of such a thing.
