A Suspicious Letter

Greetings stranger,   You dont know me, and have no readon to believe any of this, but I am Colson, exiled prince of the Vradal Kingdom. By picking this up you have activated a magical tracker that will allow me to find you. It is vitally important that you let me do so as I am looking for a place to hide my fortune for a few years, and I am hoping that I can do so with you. As much as I would like to keep my money with, it has begun to attract the attention of mercenaries hired by my step-father (who is a rather wicked man). Should the mercenaries find me, they will no doubt kill me and abscond with my fortune, allowing my step-father to place his oldest child, who is not of royal blood, on the throne.   I beg of you, please keep this letter on your person until I find you. It should take me no longer than a day or 2. I will leave half of the adventuring party that I have hired to protect me with you and the money to ensure that the mercenaries dont give you any trouble, but likely they will never even notice you. I mean why would they, you are not a royal like me, and the adventurers have assured me that several amoung therm are masters at disguise.   Should you be willing to do this, upon my ascension to the throne I shall reward you greatly. Not only will I allow you to keep 13% of the money that you will have kept safe for me, but I shall grant you a landed title within the kingdom, to be inherited by your firstborn, and you shall be known as a friend of the crown. Thank your luck stars that you have found this most fortuitous of letters, that both of our lives may be changed for the better.   Yours in all sincerity and desperation, Crown Prince Colson Thaddeus Xuduton Vradal the 3rd

This just made me love so hard. The idea is just amazing, I mean we all have "found" such "letters", right? I should try to adopt real world stuff for my world as well :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Check out some of my summer camp articles, like the dangerous flying jackalope or dragon wasps. Or, for something more light-hearted, there is the whimsical language Gobbledygook and Jaden's interesting job as a guano polisher.

Yes, somehow each SC I manage to take something from the real world and twist it into a fantasy thing. Epson Quills was a fun one in years past
