Year of the Emperor 280, Beltane
To Lorenz of Haus Rochefort. Greetings.
Yes. I have received your letters. After consideration, I feel it best not to entertain your society this coming Samhain. Being seen with you would cause a lot of difficulties for me. It is already bad enough that I'm asked asked questions by people of reputation about your brother. Circumstances as they are with your family's troubles, please take my advice, do not return to Konigsheim until this distasteful thing is behind you.
