Having Read the Duchess' Letter

Having read the Duchess' letter, Koenig Ludwig smiled and mused to himself . . . "soul mates and kindred in deeds", eh?

"Well, my dear, it may chance that we will meet and compare notes. If you indeed have the stomach for our passion, we may make a beautiful team . . . and, if not, I wonder how well you scream?"

Turning to an aide cowering in a corner, "Find out all that you can about this dear Duchess . . . including what lands and military forces she controls . . . perhaps this may be a match made in a very warm place."

Cat and mouse, eh?
But who will be the mouse? Monte-Cristo is inclined to see (appreciatively) in the Duchess a tigress masquerading as a kitten.

My bet is on the Duchess.

Ten thalers says Stagonia has a new ruler within 30 days after the two of them meet!

I agree, Stagonia will see a series of rulers change hands on the 'crown'.

At least until there is a certain level of bloodletting that reduces the 'royal' household to just one strong hand...
