[MR] War

[Melanie Weymark]

Signora,

With ALL due respect how can we possibly rely on the accounts of one with such obviously split loyalties???  Surely you do not wish to offend either barony by admitting either that the BLACK diamond stole our song bird or that a once loyal citizen of the Sacred Stone such as yourself sits idly...nay...contributes to the imprisonment of our Lady.  Why even at your own hand you admit to having her serve as your personal governess.  The act is shocking and will not stand!

I can not in good conscience blame you.  As a citizen of Black Diamond it is surely your duty, but this is WAR fair lady and if you are not for Sacred Stone then you are against her!!

Ever in service 
Lady Caterine St Loe
Household Chateaux Ferneaux
Loyal Citizen of Sacred Stone!

She might have originally been stolen by Lord Mac Conn, also known as Targue, but if any were at attendance at Sacred Stone's Baronial Birthday, one could plainly see, that while she may have come and gone in the company of Black Diamond citizenry, she came and went of her own free will. 
What, you doubt my word???  How could you doubt my word, the word of Signora Allegranza Marcovaldi  member of the Order of Sacred Stone, who was once a citizen of the fair lands of Sacred Stone, and lays a hearts claim to the land still?  I was born in the Diamond that much is true.  Yet, I migrated to the lands of Sacred Stone and there I lived for two years with my family, Roanwoulfe.   I made my home in Sacred Stone and served the Sacred Stone true.  Giving my time, my skills and my service to my new home, time and again whenever she needed me.    When called away to my homeland, I came back to serve Black Diamond with joy and sadness.  Joy to be returned to my homeland, yet sadness at the distance between friends and family left behind in the fair lands of Sacred Stone.  Doubt not my word, falsehoods never, would I give to either lands of my heart.

You claim Black Diamond stole the songbird, I cannot lie, that much is true, yet, I swear by my loyalty to both baronies that  she lives now among us a free woman to come and go as she wills.    Verily, she spent this very evening in the company of my family, a valued friend and guest of my house, singing sweet lullabyes to my own sweet babe as he reclined upon her lap. 
Stolen she might have been.  Free woman now, she resides among us in love.
