May, a long time ago

Dear Middle One,

Your letter has intrigued me. If you say that you are in a similar situation as myself, then yes, we must meet. I would suggest a meeting outside my mother’s palace. You may have heard the stories about her and my father and a roguish imp called something like, Pumple Inkskin. A total fabrication as far as I’m concerned. Why don’t we meet in the Royal Garden, where we can discuss our points of view. 

Let’s say, next week at noon.

                              Looking forward to our meeting,

                                                  Prince Number 2

Late July, a long time ago

My Dearest Luna,

These past few weeks have passed too quickly. Our discussions of life and happiness and the future together fill my heart with joy. I am so glad that you have agreed that we should wed. There is a plot of land between our two kingdoms, where we can settle and build that garden of native plants and flowers, and that animal sanctuary we both dream of. Together we can leave these castles of royalty and privilege and create a home as we see fit unencumbered by archaic rules and expectations. Where we coexist as equals, with respect, kindness, and love as we work together to make a better world for ourselves and others.

Let the Kings and Queens do as they wish with their lands and people. I feel sad for the people that stay, for it is they that will suffer the most, ruled by our parents and my older brother and his wife, Cinderhella, and your youngest sister and her husband, Prince Arming (I think you called him),  who will be next in line for their respective thrones. 

Let us leave that behind. To our unity, I pledge all of my love.

                                      Forever yours,

                                                   Samson

This will be concluded in X: eXes
