Day 108
Written on the back of a used piece of parchment
(returned via the reverse route of the original letter)
Luke --
If the question you're asking is "What is Martin up to?"
The answers are probably what you think they are, because you always were a step ahead. That's not going to be enough this time.
Ask Grandfather: the problem with being king is that sometimes something bigger than you ends up consuming you.
Ask Dad: the problem with being king is that sometimes your luck runs out.
Ask Merlin: The problem with being king is that sometimes all your magic and technology and power isn't enough.
But don't ask me what a king does to solve all those problems. I don't know.
I don't have to.
I don't have to kill you. You're walking dead already. The only question is how well you're going to die and what it will take to fix things afterwards. But you're not going to be around to worry about that last part.
We were friends, Luke, but remember: Ben loved Lintra.

You can love someone and watch them die.
You can still love someone after you've killed them.
