King Corvus of the Obsidian Kingdom had indeed written a letter to King Jaren in response to his request. Four days after King Jaren's arrival at the summer palace, one of the imperial guards arrived on a fast horse, carrying a letter.
King Jaren had already received the details of Princess Mana's treatment from Physician Kale and Naver, and he was quite pleased in general, especially since he had noticed how well Naver got along with both his son and his younger daughter. Mana's treatment plan was long-term, but quite safe, and he liked how concerned Naver was about Mana. So, when the imperial guard bearing the letter from King Corvus arrived, King Jaren was quite calm. The imperial guard submitted the letter and withdrew, leaving King Corvus alone with Mana, Jules and Naver. The four of them were in a small sitting room, playing a game of chess with King Jaren and Jules on one team and Mana and Naver on the other team.
