Dear Sefa,

I hope and pray that when – if – you read this, you are safe. You must understand that it was never my intention to hurt you. I needed to make your father pay for the crimes he has committed and the lives that have been lost, and to do that I needed you to be in danger. It was the only way to lure your father to Camelot.

I knew that no father could hear of their daughter being sentenced to death and do nothing, and I am sorry – truly sorry – that I was forced to use you in order to capture your father. I realise that you were not to blame for the lives lost – you only wanted to make your father proud, and that is not something that I could punish you for. If you are ever in need, please know that you are free to come to me for anything. I appreciate the time you spent serving me, and I am sorry that we had to part on such bad terms. With luck and good wishes for your future,

Gwen.
