Sincerely,
A still-worried vampire
Dear Master,
I am not troubled. I did not do it.
Sincerely,
Your pet
Dear Rhapsody,
I should have known that is all you have to say about it.
Sincerely,
A Master who has forgotten your talent for brevity
Dear Master,
I once again apologize for disrupting our regular schedule for correspondence. I write to inform you that Lady Zari has succeeded in clearing my name of murder.
Sincerely,
Your pet
Dear Rhapsody,
Do inform your friend that she only has to ask for any reward she so wishes, and if it is within my power to grant, then it shall be done.
Sincerely,
Your Master
Dear Master,
It appears that Lady Zari wishes to transfer to another school, but she is worried that her Master, Lord Alexandru Gheorgiu, might not give her permission to do so. Would you be able to do something about this?
Sincerely,
A pet who believes her Master is as all-powerful as he says he is
Dear Rhapsody,
It was originally my plan to keep my identity a secret for as long as possible and reveal it only when necessary. But to continue doing so would prohibit me from fully keeping my word to your friend, and that is something I do not believe my pet shall look kindly on.
Enclosed with this letter are several documents for Lady Zari. One is from a school based here in Chalys, which is ready to welcome her as a student if she so wishes. The second is a note I have personally penned for your friend, and which you have my blessing to read. Indeed, by doing so you shall be consequently informed of the truth of my identity, which I hope you will not find undesirable in any way.
Sincerely,
Your concerned Master

Has my heartkeeper confided to you of any troubles lately? She has been noticeably withdrawn in our last few exchanges, more so than her usual.
Sincerely,
Lord Mihail Gheorgiu
Marquis of Sangre
To His Lordship
Marquis of Sangre
I have reached out to milady as soon as I received his lordship's letter, and it is with the deepest regrets that I must say we have an unfortunate situation.
Milady has apparently been harboring certain misassumptions about his lordship for some years. She appears to have been under the impression all this time that his lordship's physical countenance and, er, interests would be commensurate with what is normally expected from one who's had lived for centuries. To further elaborate, milord, her ladyship has assumed that your age would leave you disinterested in engaging in activities that are physical in nature. Instead, she believed that her primary responsibility as both pet and heartkeeper would be to provide his lordship with a healthy supply of high-quality blood through intravenous means.
Pray command me as you will on this matter, milord, and until then I remain your humble and loyal servant,
Sir Isaac Booth
To Sir Isaac Booth
Knight of Sangre
Correct me if I am wrong with this, Booth.
Are you saying Rhapsody believed she had been exchanging letters with a wrinkly old man all these years, and that being my heartkeeper was simply being on call for blood transfusions?
And now that she knows none of those is true, and that she has ample reason to assume my dick is still in working order, this is what has made my heartkeeper suddenly cold towards me?
Mihail
To His Lordship
Marquis of Sangre
I'm afraid that is entirely correct, milord.
Respectfully,
Sir Isaac Booth
To Sir Isaac Booth
Knight of Sangre
FUCK.

Our warmest felicitations for the approval of your citizenship application to the Kingdom of Chalys!
Your new life as a full-fledged Chalysian comes with both privileges and responsibilities that are far beyond what are normally associated with any nationality of the human race. You are kindly encouraged to read the modules enclosed with this letter to properly accustom yourself to the ways and laws of our land.
The Territories
The kingdom consists of six ducal territories inhabited by otherworlders and one territory, Asphodel, that is mainly inhabited by humans.
Only Asphodel is open to non-citizens.
No individual, human or otherworlder, is permitted entry to any of the other territories without a written invitation from its respective ducal leader/s.
Accounts
Please visit the Bank of Chalys at your soonest convenience to open your account. The kingdom utilizes a centralized payment system for all transactions between local clients and merchants. Bank books need only be presented to complete purchases, and citizens are given a period of sixty (60) days to settle their accounts through the bank.
Chalysian Living
Asphodel consistently ranks as the world's top tourist destination by seamlessly merging the old-fashioned charms of Regency life with carefully selected modern-day inventions, including but not limited to modern plumbing and ventilation as well as the provision of laundromats and ATM machines.
Unless officially authorized or provisioned by the kingdom, use of modern devices of any kind is strictly prohibited and punishable by law.
