I do not own Cat Royal or any of the Cat Royal characters.

You are set to embark on an adventure, with yours truly. My name is Catherine Royal, formally Maudie Stirling. It has been a year since I found my brother, we have become really close and he tells me everything. I try to return the favour to him most of the time but there some thing that I can't tell him. Like the fact that Syd is still in love with me. And that despite my tries he will never court Bridget. It's a good thing Bridget doesn't seem to mind, she's been spending a lot of time with some new friends. She won't tell me who they are, and normally I'd be with her every minute trying to find out, but I recently got a letter from an old friend. The letter and it's sender have been the only two things in my mind, occupying every inch of it. The letter reads:

Dear Le Chat,

I hope this letter reaches you I good health my dear, I wonder how things are going with you? Things have been pretty eventful with us 'froggies'. King Louis is on very slippery ice with us citizens, and fears for his lifE, Ive heard. His wife has been keeping a very low profile, and Marie, my former Queen is engaged. Yes you read quite right my little roast beef, her fiancée is a decent man, earns a living by printing books and the like. But he has done me a very unnessecary chore by takin away way my queen. Anywho, Marie has told me to write you t his letter to invite you to her wedding, it shall be on the 25th June. I have organised a boat for you to come here. Please have yourself ready at the Bristol docks, on the 20th June at 10 o clock, where the 'Nelson' shall collect you. It will be in your best interest to bring a strong friend along to supervise you.

Yours Truly, J-F
