I mean, obviously I didn’t mean to.

When I came up to you at the ball, with grease stains on my gloves and rain soaking my dress, I was trying to stop you from marrying Queen Levana. I guess you didn’t need my help.

I guess I didn’t want to give you up.

Kai, you are never going to get this letter.

You have no idea what’s going through my head. I used to make fun of the rest of Commonwealth girls for their silly crushes on you, like I was immune to your charms. Then you walked up to my booth at the market. I guess I couldn’t help it. You were so nice and… and… and normal. I think that threw me off. You didn’t act like a prince or a future emperor. Just a normal teenage boy. And I liked you. 206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdum7cnR0A2

I didn’t have a foot at the time, if you were wondering why I didn’t stand up and bow. I had just taken off my old one, and the one that Iko, my android, dropped off while you were there.

Adri, my stepmother, stole that one and I wore the old one to the ball. I hadn’t had time to connect the wiring, so I was lugging around a hunk of too-small metal. That’s why it fell off.

But I’m sorry that I kissed you and embarrassed you in front of everybody. Especially since you weren’t going to marry her anyway.

I’m sorry Kai.

I miss you.

I’m going to burn this letter.
