My dearest Mia,

We're still in the boat. I thought I would never be seasick but I was when we came across a large storm. You should've been there! The large thunderous gray clouds hurdled towards our ship. The great hand of God swept down and swept our ship through the dark choppy waters. I was amazing and terrifying at the same time. Father said we may not return for months, maybe even years. Promise you'll wait for me? I believe that my aunt Lady Constance has never smiled since the marriage of her daughter to that scoundrel Count Infusa. The count is aboard with us, he is an absolute terror. He is just as annoying as my nephew Henry. Speaking of Henry, have his endeavors been successful. By endeavors, I mean his endless hunt after you. His latest letter to me explained his mission to marry you. I just about laughed in his face. The days aboard the ship are long and I miss you dreadfully!

Love,

Prince Zachary Richard
