I am sorry for what I am about to write to you and I am evensorrier for what I am going to ask of you: I wish to take leave of your serviceand resign from my post as a member of the royal guard. Please consider this request, My Liege. If you have not thrown this letter down in disbelief by now, then I ask that you hear the truth.

You instructed me with two simple tasks: keep these men alive and show them the valor of a true warrior. I have done neither and have failed at both. We have slaughtered innocent men, women, and children for minor transgressions against the crown. My zealousness in defending your honor did betray me, and I acted without thought or the tact of a leader. I have known you for all of my life, My Liege, and I know you would have spoken to the hearts of these poor people and quelled their rage and stayed my hand. You would have done the right thing.

And what follows, My King, I do regret with every fiber of my being and it is which I draw my request for resignation from. I do hope you will forgive me, but I do know that I am not worthy of such an honor.

Adler Bluttrinker, Lord of the Valley of Red Rain, has been killed on our soil. He was occupying a camp North East of the town called Levinton, wherein my men and I have stationed ourselves for the past five years. Lord Bluttrinker seemed to be a threat.  We had no choice… at least, that is what I believed at the time. I do not know whether or not this is still true.

Regardless, it was my actions that lead to his demise, as well as the demise of thirty-six of the forty soldiers originally assigned to my platoon.

These are the names of our country’s men that I have led to their demise. I will never forget their sacrifices.

What is left of my men will return to the capitol city, and I will return willing to accept whatever punishment you see fit.

I pray you will be just, as you have always been.

Ubine es? Realisne es? Realisne sum? Non te memoror sum.  Si volo te memorari non certa sum.

Me paenitet.

I'd love to tell you I am proud of your efforts, but I will at the very least tell you I am glad you tried. Ramble on!

Dad said I could’ve saved you. I wish I knew how. Now there is more blood on my hands than just yours. I’m so sorry. I wish you were here. 

You will never be forgotten. The Kingdom thanks you for your sacrifice. I beg for your forgiveness.
