Chapter Six: The Letter to Dmitri

My dearest son,

I miss you so much. There I so much I have to tell you, and I have some time now to say it.

First off, I've taken on a new mission, and I'd like you to join me later on. There are four knights staying with me, and you may know of Lia de Beaumont's brother, for he is one of them.

D'eon de Beaumont is no ordinary knight though. As you have heard, Lady Lia was murdered, and the killer left her body in a floating coffin in the Seine. There is much more than that.

Lia's body does not decay, so her soul remains somewhere on this earth. We have reason to believe that Lia has possessed D'eon. The first night they stayed here, she possessed him and tried to kill me. It is obvious that her soul is tormented, but at least she was not thrown into hell.

There are other knights besides D'eon, of course. There is a boy named Robin, and he's just a year younger than you. He reminds me of you; so young and naïve. But he carries some burden that he hasn't told anyone about…What do you think it might be?

I'm not sure if he's lost a lover, because he is young. But I cannot jump to any conclusions.

There is also the Great Telliagory! Yes, my Dmitri, THE Telliagory.

He has lost his son in the war, and I can tell that he is very weary. I sure hope that he can overcome this. He is very kind and brave, although old.

And at last I have come to Durand Dashwood. He is sweet, and handsome. He took me out on a very lovely date, and I challenged him to a duel.

I do believe that I have truly "wow"-ed him, and hopefully we can become lovers.

But Dmitri, I must ask, is it okay with you? I know that you cannot truly care about your father like I do, but I just want to know your opinion.

I am so confused, for I might still love Tom, but I am falling in love with Durand.

And what's even worse is that he's falling in love with me.

I haven't a clue what to do, for I've only had my heart broken once, and once was enough for me.

I really hope that you can meet him when you come home. I'm so excited to see you.

How are you doing in school? I hope well, because you were the one who used your own money to go there. I'm so glad to see you balancing your duties as a member of Le Secret du Roi while attending school. I wish that I could've gone through school when I joined. I was so young, and I was all alone.

Have you met a woman? I can't wait until you get married. I know that whoever you bring home (as long as it isn't a whore) I will grow to love them.

Oh, my son. When you come home we shall take a trip to Saint Petersburg to see your grandmother. We will put flowers in her grave. I want to show you the place where I used to live, too.

I miss you so much, for you're the only family I have left. I can't wait to see you, and I will patiently await your reply.

Love,

Milliah Lynn Korsokov
