SCARLETT
I at the cordial invitation in my grip. Correspondence isn’t unusual. I
get letters every day.
But this one is written in blood.
My fingers are so tense I’m surprised I don’t rip the damn thing. The
lighting offered by our new magical fixtures is pleasantly bright, much
better than the tallow candles I had to use up until two years ago, allowing
me to make out every word clearly. I read the first line three times because I
just can’t believe it.
Please accept this formal invitation into the household of the Rinhold
estate.
It’s a courtship proposal by the Earl Rinhold, a man I have never been
formally introduced to, but know of by reputation.
And it’s not a good one.
I can’t believe my father didn’t tear this up the moment it came in.
But there’s a reason I was kept waiting in the drawing room while my
brother and father spoke privately for hours.
So I keep reading.
The letters are styled in perfect penmanship, and every phrase is crafted
with fluid, lyrical prose.
But I’ve learned to read between the lines. This is an invitation that will
end my life as I know it.
My eyes track down the pleasantries and the subtle threats of blackmail
I’d expect of a family with eyes everywhere, to the important bit I make
sure to dedicate to memory.
I, Earl of the Rinhold family, hereby offer my courtship terms for the
hand of Scarlett Nightingale and the consequential alliance of the Rinhold
and Nightingale families, henceforth and thereafter.
A bride price will be paid in full upon conclusion of an exclusive
courtship at the Rinhold residence to take place in the span of thirty days,
in willing agreement by both parties, in the sum of the following proposals:
Forty percent of Rinhold’s resource village.
Eight-and-ten percent of Rinhold’s treasury.
Three selections from the Rinhold Compound, no limits barred.
Should these terms be deemed acceptable, a signature in blood of the
lovely Scarlett Nightingale is required. Henceforth, the blood timer of three
days will be enacted for the intended to bring her affairs in order, to begin
anew at thirty days for the duration of the courtship.
Which, as a member of the family with the top selections of last year’s
Monsters Night within the Magic Sector, I promise will be a lavish and
enjoyable affair. I am eagerly awaiting your reply.
The terms of this contract expire at midnight.
May Cain’s blessings be bestowed upon you and yours.
Sincerely,
Earl Rinhold
My lower lip is quivering, and I sink my teeth into it before my father
can reprimand me.
There was a reason he took me to the largest drawing room typically
reserved for hosting and made me squirm while he and my brother decided
my fate.
He wanted to remind me of what he’s been working toward and the
importance of this proposal.
