My dear Cecilia,
I cannot help but marvel at your new work. It is a gigantic leap from what you'd written yesterday. I just hope that you only become better from here.
Opposite to what you might think, there is no world outside. It is as dismal as it gets, and many who have heard of you, envy you. Apart from the fortune of getting to perfect the skill of writing, you hold another advantage over their heads. You are a red-head; it means you're quick-witted, charming and just what Count Demarco, the most powerful man around, is looking for as his bride.
Enough of that for now, though. As a reward for last night's story, I have given you a set of calligraphy pens and finer pieces of paper. You will also find that you have a greater variety of books, too, so I expect you to read two books a day.
Yours truly,
Luke M.
