Lord Arthur Friege 420 Silezha Complex, Thove Silesse

My lord,

I am writing you in agony as there's no other choice left for me to consider. As your family's faithful butler, Lady Ishtar has confessed to me experiencing some grating phenomena, of which, after further investigations by myself and Duchess Hilda, can be traced back to you.

Among the complaints raised to me include: you opening the gas valve and nearly made the duke hallucinate, posing as a vengeful apparition under Her Ladyship's window, and sent an illustration of Lord Ishtore wearing a bespoke, damning fiery-red knickerbockers to Miss Liza Knight in an effort to break her betrothal to Lord Ishtore.

We have also discovered that by the time you took Lady Tinni away with you per your last visit, you buried grenades in Her Ladyship's former room, now converted into a powder and lavatory room by the duchess.

I kindly ask you to cease and desist.

Reinhardt Schutaeze.

Sir Reinhardt Schutaeze

360 Nifl Palace, Friege Grannvale

My good man,

I believe you may have mistakened me for none other than my own Lord Cousin and your lady’s betrothed, Prince Julius. A common mistake really, as though he is shorter than I am and whose hair color matches the preposterous illustration General Liza had received, we do share the same preferred barbershop.

Opening the gas valve of the house? Playing scary tricks on others? Could be nothing more than my dear cousin Julius reliving his childhood days from when he and my uncle’s family lived in Castle Velthomer. I am sure you are familiar with the gossip that goes around at the royal court, no? Of how mischievous the future emperor was back then, whose to say he isn’t now too? I would reckon these maledictions are simply part of a test so to speak, to ensure that the dukedoms my Lord Cousin will lead do not falter to the whims of royal tomfoolery.

As for the incident in my aunt’s room, I suppose the Prince wanted to renovate it to his own liking. It was too grand of a room compared to the others and what came after the event you described was simply the right call of the Prince. The only event which I had taken part in was relocating Lady Tinni to Silesse, something that had consequentially been easier to achieve thanks to Prince Julius’ antics. Although I’m sure she would not be missed by my aunt nor be of any use to my uncle anyways.

I ask that you revaluate your investigations again, lest the whole family mistakes the Prince’s visits to that of a scoundrel’s. Treachery of any sort will not be tolerated by our house, afterall.
