My dear Justin,
After you left, the Duc and I spoke for a long, long time. He apologized for the way he spoke to me, and I have forgiven him. He also told me what passed between you in his study, and I was very dismayed and regretful when I heard what was said. Please do not let this fight force your hand into anything rash, for I have good news for you.
My cousin has agreed to a luncheon with you, in order that he may see the good character and kind soul that I see in you. Please meet us at the Lord and Lady Inn at three o'clock tomorrow. Alain is a busy man, and may only stay an hour, so I urge you to make the most of the time we have.
To that end, I must advise you that it would be wise to offer an apology to the Duc. He was offended by some of your words, and has said that he will reconsider if you apologize. It may be that you feel you have naught to be sorry for, but what is one apology compared to the happy life we may build together if all goes well tomorrow? I must tell you, the cruelty and tyranny you perceived was merely an older cousin being annoyed with a younger, and nothing more. As I said before, Alain is deeply sorry for how he spoke to me. It was a misunderstanding between us, just as there were misunderstandings between the two of you. I will pray that all goes well tomorrow, but it cannot go well without your kindness, cooperation, and humility. We must both be at our best tomorrow, and if we are, I believe with my whole being that Alain will give us his blessing.
Be assured that I am thinking of you, and am doing all I can to speak good of you to my cousin, that he may have a more favorable image of you come tomorrow. Do not worry that my cousin will be unkind to me, for even after this difficult day he has spoken with me and treated me with nothing but the greatest peace and understanding. This second chance is his gift in love to me, for he wants nothing but to see me happy and content with life and love, and what would make me most happy and content is to be wedded to you, dearest. By Shemhazai himself, everything I have written here on this page is sincere and true.
In good spirits and full of hope,
Avive de Mauvais
