The second letter which Princess Aeryn wrote to her uncle, Prince Arcadia and Lord of Marinus contained matters of treason and she was so nervous the moment she handled the letter to the same rider who delivered the first letter. "Protect it with your life," she told the rider. The rodents of Lord Balrus made sure to notify his lordship of the Princess's letters to and from Marinus. And they were specific this wasn't the first time Princess Aeryn employed the services of the rider.
"Who is this rider?" asked Lord Balrus.
"I didn't get his name, my lord. But he is set to leave the city at first light. I know where he stays with his wife and children."
The information made Lord Balrus smile. "A family man, what a tragic. Condolences to his wife and children, his father died in the woods."
