A Word Of Warning

[To Master Ryan Von Roald,

I write this letter with the intention of bringing to your attention the need to reconsider your bold statements made earlier. It is my belief that Baron Illus, who is generally a content man, displayed an unprecedented demeanor today. His insatiable desire to obtain the book in your possession has reached alarming levels of greed, and I can no longer ignore it. I regret to inform you that he is prepared to resort to extreme measures, including the destruction of the entire village and the elimination of its inhabitants, to achieve his goal. I beseech you to either seek reconciliation with him or, if you indeed possess the means to overcome an army, take appropriate action. It is crucial to note that Baron Illus holds dominion over twelve villages, granting him access to extensive resources surpassing those of most barons. Consider this a grave warning.]

“Steward Lewis,” Ryan muttered.
