My Lily,
I miss you every day and every night. I live for the day we will be together again. After mother had her fainting incident, I’ve taken over the bulk of her work so that she may relax until she feels better. It is my dearest wish that eventually, with you by my side, we will be able to relieve her entirely of her obligations to the crown. She is getting on in age and can no longer handle the associated stress.
But even more than that, I wish to be with you, to be able to spend the evenings going on long walks around our lavish gardens as you regale me with your stories. I wish to be able to grab your hand and take you for early morning or late afternoon horse rides. I wish to be able to sit across from you and discuss state affairs as we have meals together. More than anythin
