Dear Elric,
I should probably talk to you in person about this, but it's so hard to get alone- I've been surrounded by people ever since they took me back home. As it is, I have to use letters to get any privacy.
There's a skald called Christine- I've been allowed to leave the castle and hear her performances. She's good. During encores, she sings songs of her old country.
Some songs are about you.
It isn't true that you could never love again after you killed your bride. You have loved several women. You just don't love me.
This isn't a refusal of your proposal. I just want us to be honest.

Eva,
You are right. I should have been blunter.
I do not love you, and I don't care to. I enjoy your company, and I imagine I would enjoy sharing your bed. But you are young and innocent and frail, and I cannot risk loving you.
I may be your friend, your bedmate, or even your husband. I will not be your lover.

Elric,
I can understand that. I won't ask you to be faithful if you don't ask me to be.
I accept your offer of marriage.
