Offer of Marriage (Ludlow-Vennet)

A Letter Addressed to Lord Freyr of House Vennet in Briochi
Lord Vennet,
It is with the utmost respect and my deepest regrets that I should write
 to you in these trying times. We pray to Aradia that Lady Rivka Vennet 
finds peace in the sacrifice Lord Jaster Blackthorne made for our Divine
 Lady. 
And we take action to ensure this demon menace will not take another husband from your darling daughter.
We would like to remind you that we of the Ludlow Accord are strong on 
Caybourne. We have a fine navy which can respond to Briochi within two 
days. Our military is made of loyal men and High Felines, honourable all
 and ferocious fighters.
I tell you all this to warm you to this proposition: Lord Mancel 
Ludlow’s eldest son and heir, Casim Ludlow, born 998 AE, is eligible for
 marriage. He is a fine swordsman, a brilliant scholar, and a handsome 
young man. I enclose a portrait
 for your perusal. As you may know, his heritage can be traced back to 
the great merchant king, Keyair Heartstone. Any concerns over his 
bloodline can be discussed and proven in-person.
We understand these are trying times and that Lady Rivka may not be 
prepared for a marriage so soon after the valiant death of her late 
husband. But as a woman I understand the sacrifices we must make for our
 families. I believe Rivka would understand too.
Of course, we also understand that there was time to consummate the 
marriage. Should a Blackthorne child be with Lady Rivka, we would also 
welcome this new addition to the family like it were our own blood. 
Aradia go with you,
Lady Amayl Heartstone-Rodin, 
of the Ludlow Accord in Caybourne
