Dear Reina,
That wasn't a good sign. Her mother referred to her as Reina when she was serious.
I understand your distress over your father's activities as of late. Please try to understand that he is only trying to secure an acceptable future for you. You may not understand right now, but he is doing what is best for you. You may not like it, but you are a pureblood with notable lineage. This makes you eligible for a good marriage, something I did not have and I regret. It was my choice, but I do not know if it was the right one. Seven years is not long, little Raven, you will soon spread your wings and fly, your father and I want to make sure you have a strong branch to make your perch when you do.
your loving mother
Reina stared at the letter and then crumbled it up. Her mother actually agreed with her father on this. She couldn't believe it. She drew her knees up and buried her face in them.
