Dearest Lady Nana of Leventi,

I apologise in advance for the forwardness of this letter, but I wished to extend unto you a formal invitation that I hope you shall find appealing. Since our first meeting, I must admit that I have been unable to think of little else but the beauty of your shape, and our correspondence since my visit to Taengea has only confirmed my beliefs. I am utterly enthralled by you, my Lady.

As such, I was hoping that you might accept my invitation to spend some time with me in Athenia. I understand, of course, the gravity of certain situations which have arisen in both of our home kingdoms, but I should like to hope that you will be able to visit whenever is most convenient for you. I would be happy to receive you either in the capital proper or at my home in Thesnia, for as long as you might desire.

In addition, I wish to offer you this small gift — a token of my affections that I consider as fine as yourself. It is, too, a replication of the Marikas crest; thus, I hope you understand the implication I wish to impart.

Please let me know if you wish to heed my invitation. I would be most honoured to host you in the Marikas home.

Eagerly awaiting your response,

Lord Rafail of Marikas
