If you have any doubts, then all you need to do is remember this chess match she has us playing.
Offering marriage is her way of manipulating us into servitude.
My people and I will never be slaves to the north again.
Never again, Levi.
Having said that, I admit I’m curious to see the Winter Queen for myself.
I can only imagine what you must have felt seeing her after so many years.
Is she as beautiful as she was then?
Does her smile still make you feel like you are standing on top of one of her white mountains?
Does she still curl the corner of her lips when she doesn’t get her way?
Ah, but what I wouldn’t give to see that quirk with my own two eyes.
Still, don’t be fooled, old friend.
No matter how many similarities she may possess with our childhood love, it’s not her.
Mark my words, she’s banking on that affection. Praying we begin to reminisce on the past and that the fondness we once stored in our hearts for her still prevails.
For me, it does not.
So much so that I vow you this, brother.
Once you are married and crowned king, I will plunge my dagger into her cold heart on her very bridal bed as my wedding present to you.
I swear it on the blood that was shed in her family’s name.
Until then, I will wait.
Patiently.
Like I have done for these past seven years.
For now, all I need are assurances that you are still the beloved brother I would follow over a cliff and beyond.
The same loyal friend who swore to me that revenge would be ours in the end.
That the dead would be avenged, so that their spirits could finally find peace.
Tell it to me true, and I will believe you.
For there is no one in this world who I trust, save for you—the true king of Aikyam.
Your loyal brother in rightful vengeance,
Atlas of Narberth
King of the west
After reading the letter a second time, I raise my heavy head from the inked parchment and safely guard it in my breast pocket.
Atlas needs an answer.
