[ajk] Your majesty, you've mentioned that Corvo "had no bearing upon" the matter of your daughter's birth... but, well, there's been talk. I am no gossip myself but I've heard, ah, suggestions that the Lord Protector was "involved" in the matter. I mean no offense, I only thought it best to bring the rumor to your attention. If there was indeed an... involvement, your secret is safe with me. Warm regards, a fellow anonymous lady who has lost her heard to someone 'inappropriate' to her station.
When I said that my Lord Protector has no bearing upon the situation, I meant it. I am aware of the rumours and they grow tiresome, I no longer need people to “bring them to my attention”. Furthermore, my daughter’s father is no business of the people nor is it the business of the Court. I was asked to provide an heir, an heir was provided, and that is the end of that. Thank you for your time, I wish you all the best.
