To my Dearest Kura,
I hope this letter finds you in one piece, and that you and everyone else are in good health. I hope it puts your mind at east o know that I am safe and sound in Lyon.
After spending a few nights sleeping rough I was spotted by the royal informants and I have been taken back to my childhood manor where I am to resume my status as a prince. Im scared you would not recognise me if we were to cross paths given my current attire.
I pray that the crew members who have passed are at peace and that those remaining are safe and well, nothing haunts me more than the thought of any of my friends hurt. I also trust any new members have managed to fit in well and are serving to be useful to you.
I only dream that one day we can cross paths on the sea, although my duties lie in France my heart will always remain with you aboard the ship. It may even be a stretch to say I regret my decision to leave, and I pray that one day you will find me and take me home.
The inventor eh? I hope he takes good care of you and gives you affection you deserve. If he doesn't I'll break his legs! Which reminds me I also have a companion with me here in France, Though she is sweet and pure of heart I think she too would rather be out at sea living a free life. Perhaps one day I can provide her with that rather than just tempting her with my stories.
I miss all of you, and I too hope that one day we can meet again on the waves. Please stay safe and I hope that this letter does find its way to you, to let you know I am safe.
- Prince Abel.
