My Lord, I am sure you misspeak yourself!  Do you truly mean to offer this
challenge to Princess Isabell, soon to be your Queen?  I have spoken with
her personally and it is Her wish to return the device to its original
design.  Did you think this petition would of come out with her full
support?  Will you prove this a folly upon Her Person?  I think not.

I too have tried to stay out of this but felt compelled by this latest
attack to say something.  I think it would be best to end the debate by
changing the device eventually to something else, but if my Queen ask me to
support her in this I will do so.  It is Her Honor I protect, and if she
wish this I will do as she wishes.  My Queen merely has to ask, and I will
support her in anything that doesn't damage my honor.  And this childish
debate merely damages my senses, not my honor.  And if the next Monarchs
want something else?  Well if I all I have to do is spend .34 cents to make
them happy it is well worth it.

Are we not a Monarchy?

As any Free Scholar should be ashamed that another has attacked the Princess
in such a public manner.  I thought the Rapier community defended the Queen?
