[ On Christmas Eve, the manor staff kindly deliver the gifts Alicent prepared for family and friends. For Louis
— Wrapped finely, a tiny box, containing a half-signet ring.
— Attached, he’ll find an envelope sealed with emerald wax, fine paper stock addressed in Alicent’s elegant hand. ]

Dearest Louis,

We have now spent half a year in the manor, both of us beyond our towers. Whether we are free or imprisoned anew seems irrelevant to me at this moment, when I think on how it brought us together.

You have been dearer to me than so many in this place. and indeed my life, for how little you have asked of me; and the trust you have placed in my human hands. Although I have lived far from my brother since we were children, I think — and hope — that he and I might have enjoyed a relationship like ours, if we’d been given the chance.

Thank you, for your friendship and counsel. For sharing my joy and grief. For the light you offer, despite walking in darkness.

And for allowing me a little of Daniel’s time. In your place, I would not be so generous, though I’ll not complain.

Do take care of yourself, in addition to all the others you mind so dutifully — by the order of the Queen.

Warmly,
Alicent
