To Lord and Lady Trevelyan:

The Inquisitor wishes you to know that your letters are unwanted.  She has read the ones she has thus far received, but will not read any more.  I have been instructed by Inquisitor Trevelyan to destroy any further correspondence sent by a member of the Trevelyan family.

Enclosed you will find a letter written by the Inquisitor.  She does not intend to send another at any point in the future.

Regards,

Ambassador Josephine Montilyet

Hey shitweasels,

Surprise!  This is NOT Your Most Esteemed Inquisitoriness Juniper Trevelyan.  Yeah, Juniper.  She's been calling herself that since about a month after she got locked up in the magicky prison.  You probably knew that already, though.  Heard it from one of your spy-types.

Probably also heard a little rumor that she's shacking up with someone.  Maybe you've heard that someone is short on fancy titles?  That that person is an elf, and female, grew up hungry and is amazing in bed?  Well I can tell you those rumors are all true, because I'm her.  Maybe somebody's told you my name too, but if not, I'm still not telling you, because you're shitweasels and you don't deserve to know my name.  You don't deserve to know her name either, but I reckon that's a lost cause.

She burned the letters, by the way.  I watched her do it, too.  Josie Fancypants would bring them to her chambers, wait for her to open them, and then leave, and THEN she'd burn them, unread.

Don't you dare be proud of who she is, because you had fuck all to do with it.  She's strong and clever and brave and kind IN SPITE OF!!! having you for parents.  With what you put her through, she'd be lucky to be normal, but she is so much better than normal.  She is so much better than YOU.

She told me what you did to her, before they took her.  I've seen some of the worst this world has to offer, but you lot still managed to make me pukey.  You never thought anyone would know, did you?  You never thought she'd be important one day.  You never thought anyone would care.

Not that we're going to TELL anyone.  She doesn’t want the whole world knowing, doesn’t want to see it in people’s eyes when they look at her.  But we don’t have to really tell them, do we?  We have people who can spread the right rumors to the right people, nothing confirmed, nothing certain.  But it’d be enough, wouldn’t it?  It’d hurt you just fine.

So if I see one more letter with your family seal on it, I’ll make sure you regret it.  And yes, that is a threat.  You just try to do anything, see how that works for you.  I can do a lot worse hurt than a rumor can.
