Can you really belt out an a cappella?
Fyr opens the letter from the minister that was delivered to Carneol's PO box some time ago, hoping it isn't booby-trapped.
"Honorable Erefir Linel Darvening,
I express the highest degree of admiration for your ballad; now I am convinced that I was not mistaken when I decided to approach you with my humble proposal.
At present, I have hopes of publishing your work for a wide audience; however, before that, it requires certain refinements, and in my opinion, these should be carried out by the original author of the piece.
If this does not seem burdensome to you, allow me to ask you to add stanzas about Emperor Purian, and I would also like to show King Flanaravi and Emperor Abes in a slightly more favorable light.
Please send the revised version in my name to the SRI.
With respect, Celesta Uida Asukan."
"Wow, I've been censored... But. The approach where this is done not by a proofreader but by myself appeals to me, not to mention the honor of being published. I wonder why it's specifically the monarchs Flanaravi and Abeas that require correction, and not Delsahid and Hateya? No questions about Empress Shen. But fine, I accept these terms gladly -- we'll manage!"
