A Letter from Sarrona Lebeda

"Baron , I have received your demands and accept your terms and conditions. Along with this letter, I send you the entire ransom for the body of my son. Also, I wish to use this opportunity to offer you a formal apology, on behalf the noble House Lebeda, for the insult that my son inflicted upon you and your family. There's no doubt that what Lander did was inexcusable. However, if he really had intended to stab you in the back, you would surely be dead by now. Apparently, my son took pity on you, so you shouldn't harbor any resentment against him. I must confess, I am surprised by your nobleness. I sincerely hope that your mother will likewise be allowed to recover your body, after you perish. If the family of the highly esteemed baron lacks the necessary financial surety, I shall purchase your body personally, to repay for your kindness. Be assured, your remains shall fall into good hands. Unfortunately, I will not be able to visit your lands in person — my doctors recommend against travel in damp climates. But be assured that if I learn of your presence in our realm, I shall prepare a solemn welcome for you without delay. With best regards, Sarrona Lebeda, head of House Lebeda"
