Chapter 45 — A Letter
Once Cynthia reached her room, she closed the doors behind her.
She excitedly opened the letter after sitting comfortably in a chair. She had never received a letter from Alistair in her past life, so she was completely surprised and happy. She couldn’t wait to read what her brother had written to her.
Without further delay, she began reading.
[Dear Cynthia,
I apologize for leaving without being able to properly bid you farewell. I hope you aren’t upset.
I miss you every day, and your absence creates a great emptiness in Eldoria. The weather is changing in the south, so I hope you are eating well to maintain good health.]
Cynthia paused, a soft chuckle escaping her lips.
"It seems he is being the worried older brother as always," she whispered before continuing.
[As king, I hold the responsibility for the kingdom, which needs an heir. The nobles keep sending marriage proposals nonstop, and as king, I need to choose my queen wisely. I’ve chosen Saya Ramsel, Duke Ramsel’s daughter. You know her well, don’t you? You played with her often when you were younger. I think she is well-suited to be the queen of Eldoria.
The engagement has already taken place. It seems the Duke was in a hurry—so was I. You barely had time to settle in Selvarys, and yet I’m troubling you with this; however, please attend my wedding. Without you, it would be meaningless.
Please dress warmly when you come to my wedding in December, in five months. It gets chilly, and I hope you don’t forget your kingdom. Eldoria was, is, and always will be your home, my beloved sister.
