Chapter 4 - Dear Althea

DEAR ALTHEA,

I understand that your mother is gravely ill with a condition known as Infernal Decay—a rare and formidable disease. While you may find it difficult to believe, given that it is not mentioned in any current texts, ancient records do document its deadly effects.

You may wonder why I am bringing this to your attention. It is simply to establish the truth of my knowledge and to offer you an opportunity that could relieve your burdens. I possess the means to cure your mother.

However, I must ask something of you in return. The cure for Infernal Decay comes with a condition: you must eliminate both princes of the kingdom.

If you agree to this offer, please respond through a letter and leave it on the oak tree nearest to your home. I trust that you will consider this proposal carefully, as it holds the potential to greatly benefit you and your family.

Yours sincerely,

DEALER
