LETTER: From an Anonymous Lady

To whom it may concern,

I bring you much greetings and blessings. I am writing you this very day to address something that disturbed me greatly. As I sat upon a balcony this morning nibbling a bit of pastry as I drank my tea, a servant came in with the latest edition of the chronicle. As an avid reader of this delightful newspaper I was henceforth shocked to see such accusations and defiling of ones character within this long established source of news and entertainment.
I have known this young woman for quite a long time and felt the need to speak out in her defense. One should never tell only a single half of the story especially when the story is given with a twisted view that it leads the reader to assume much about the person.

Let me start by addressing the charges brought upon this young woman by such a senior Lawyer concerning her helping to free a slaver. Under no circumstances was she involved in freeing this man. Instead what happened was the young lady in question heard a call for help about this slaver attacking knights. As she is a physician she went into the knights hall to see if she could offer her help to those who may be in need. Upon arriving at their Headquarters she discovered the Slaver had captured this most renowned and senior Knight. Feeling this was perhaps not the wisest place for her to be she turned and quietly made her way back out the way she came. The great and long service knight Babak bowed his head to her and let her pass without an argument.

This lady in question has in fact on many turns sacrificed her own financial means in order to help those captured and sold upon the auction block within our Beloved Ireem. She simply chose to leave a situation that she felt was not wise nor safe for her to be within. Especially as this particular knight who was captured within the hall by said slaver had in fact approached this lady in private and made a very unseemly advancement upon her person.

On a different time she did in fact to her own embarrassment set to help a young bedu woman who had been captured by this same knight and another cloaked man who informed her he was making a citizen arrest. When she arrived at the knights hall it was to hear the cloaked man inform this young bedu woman that he was pressing charges upon her person for resisting arrest. Now out of kindness and concern the Lady she asked the young woman how she came to be here. The young woman explained that she had been in her encampment when this Senior Knight and this disguised man attacked her telling her she was under arrest. Now the Lady in question looked shocked for she did not understand the newer laws in Ireem granting knights the right to arrest whom ever they please where ever they please. She informed the young woman that this was not to be and took her away with her. The Lady in fact did council the young woman to go to the Imperitrix to plead her case and clear her record of any past crimes. She truly felt that the young woman should have to answer to justice no matter how old the crime could be. One must still be held accountable for one's actions and choices. In fact when the Lady was informed of her mistake concerning the law, she returned to the Knight in question and very humbly apologized. The Knight in question accepted her apology most graciously and offered her a rose.

Now my friend please do not misunderstand me the Lady does not in anyway say she does not make mistakes nor that sometimes her ideas do not get away with her resulting in mischief, but this is a malicious attack on a young Lady of the Court. One should pause and ask why. Why bring up topics that twist the truth of the situation and make it such that useless drama is convoluted and made to be more then it simply appears. Perhaps my dear friend that one should look to those who seek to defile this Lady's character and simply ask why. What do they gain from such attacks upon her person?

Sincerely and yours in service,
Lady Anonymous
