A letter for a mother.

[channe]

The messenger arrives at the Kaczmarek holding a little after dawn; the family is still waking up, but his bell is insistent, and he won't stop until he sees the mother, the father --

The message, given with a very recognizable rapier. A sword that she'd never take off. Ever.

I regret to inform you that your daughter, Captain Agnieszka Kaczmarek of His Magesty's Own Company, was killed in action March 25th, in the Year of the One God 209.

Captain Kaczmarek was directly responsible for thwarting an attempt on the life of King Chedwry; our Lord Chedwry was present in the hospital when she died, and he sends this token of his gratitude for her sacrifice.

Sincerely,
Duke Constantine Kostroma, the Commander of His Majesty's Mageranks


It does not go over well.

Even the Sigil of the King's Favor is no consolation.
