Yuffie opened her door.
Then she examined the letters closely.
The handwriting was messy, yet had a unique beauty to it. It was a little hard on the eyes, but she could make out pretty much everything.
And there were two sheets of paper in the envelope.
One was addressed to the Third Princess and bore Grand Duke Olexian's name.
The other was from Lynn to Yuffie.
One from the Grand Duke, and one personal?
They hadn't been in touch for a long time. After much deliberation, Yuffie finally set aside the Grand Duke's letter and read the one from Lynn first.
Yuffie Augustus,
Hello, it's Lynn.
The last time we met, we parted on bad terms. You were right about what you said, though. I was pretty childish back then.
Actually, I've always known about my political enemies' attacks. I was just playing dumb. Taking them down while pretending to be an idiot was entirely intentional.
I just thought getting caught up in power struggles all the time was boring.
In the end, though, it turned out I had no choice. The situation in the north was bad from the start, so I had to develop it. And even after I did, despite centralizing power as much as I could, I still ended up being pushed around.
Just like now, after taking over two kingdoms. I can't afford to lose even an inch of land. But someone has left me with a huge disaster waiting to happen.
When it comes to dealing with this, I believe there's no one in the world who could do a better job than me—unless someone can conjure food out of thin air.
This is what has me in a stranglehold now, forcing me to act against my will.
Of course, you're also bound
