SUMMARY: Arohaerd and Willem attempt to prevent a duel between two wayward noble sons through the art of distraction.

REPORT:

Ambassador Amsel,

Myself and Willem Bassey have just returned from Val Royeaux, a city which I can happily confirm did not pay witness to anything like a duel between the young lords Genest and Delaunay. Indeed it's very likely neither man recalls the stated date for the event passing them by. Lord Genest was happily at rest, and by all accounts well enough entertained that he did not rise until well into the afternoon following the morning when he should have duelled. I've also been well informed that Lord Delauney was nowhere to be found on the day, and thus could not raise a complaint. No one would speak as to the nature of his absence, but it's known that he returned to the city with the pelt of a brown bear over his arm. One might surmise he lost track of time.

As both young lords were equally embarrassed to have missed their appointment, it appears that they are keen to have the entire matter forgotten. I'm advised they are now keen to make peace, and avoid anyone losing face over the matter.

I also enclose with this report several letters of support for the fine company provided by Willem and myself. Their families seem very relieved, and were quite surprised to find that we were both Rifters. I do not believe they had met any of us in person before. I should hope that we challenged their expectations. At any rate, I expect we can rely on their aid in the near future.

Kind regards,

Arohaerd.
