In the dim glow of candlelight, King Conradin sat at a sturdy wooden desk, his quill poised above a parchment. The words flowed from his mind onto the paper as he composed a missive to Galvano, the leader of his northern army stationed in Durazzo.
The inked strokes conveyed the strategic developments in the south. Conradin detailed the successful capture of Arta, emphasizing its importance in securing a foothold in Epirus. The letter carried an undertone of urgency, urging Galvano to set sail with the fleet and journey southward to rendezvous with the main forces.
"Dear Galvano,
I trust this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. It brings me great pleasure to inform you that we have successfully captured the city of Arta. The victory is a testament to the prowess of our forces and the dedication of our men.
