Róisín,

I support your request to be our General. I, myself, was appointed General before I became Prime Minister and know the sort it takes to hold such a rank. We've barely met, but I would be willing to bet you would be more than capable of standing as the Peak's General.

Furthermore, I would be honored to travel with you to the Lagoon to speak with Rade. I once took captives from the Lagoon, but they were treated fairly when they were here. The Peak has never been the sort to behave with the sort of evil intentions with which the Lagoon seems to operate when they take captives. As soon as you are ready to depart for the Lagoon, I will be with you. It'll be best to arrive with numbers at any rate, less we run into any unfavorable company.

Kolfina,

Worry not about taking time to look after your children, I believe most of us who have been mothers can sympathize with the importance our children have on our lives. I look forward to getting to know you more, as well as getting to know your daughters. Thank you for such a warm welcome to the Peak and for your faith in me, though we've only just been acquainted. I will work to make sure your daughters continue to remain safe here for as long as they wish.

Kunžak,

I must first say your message warmed my heart greatly. I was the one who recruited Božena to the Peak and always admired her ferocious spirit from the moment I met her. She may have been the only one I would respectfully stall my desire to be Prime Minister again, as I would have happily followed in line behind her. I was newly elected General when Cullen began his acts in the Lagoon and remember him vaguely, but I see my sisters had to deal with much more trouble from him after I left the islands. I've recently become reacquainted with him by blocking his vicious claim on a stallion in the Commons. I'm going to assume he'll be one to still keep a sharp eye on.

Thank you for your information, it will help both Róisín and I understand what we are walking into when talking with Rade. I hope he won't try to compare the Lagoon and the Peak. Even not having been there, I back the decision Božena made to take the Lagoon bachelors to overthrow the tyrant Cullen. I, myself, had taken a Lagoon captive in an attempt to gather intelligence on Cullen.

I hope you're able to find Božena and that she is safe and well. We will keep an eye on both Danica and Kuráž until your return.

this is as brave as I know how to be.
I know it’s gonna hurt you, but please… be a little proud of me.
