Lady Ilane to Lady Yukimi

Dear Yukimi,

That is interesting information indeed. Kel's father and I have always told her that as she had chosen against a traditional noble marriage in favour of knighthood, we would always leave any decisions about marriage up to her. If indeed their hopes eventuate, Piers and I would have no objection; theirs is an old and well-known family, and Sergeant Domitan is by all accounts a very worthy young man. But for now I think I will do nothing. I see no need to do anything, and Keladry would not thank us for interfering in her personal affairs.

With love,

Ilane of Mindelan
