I’m sorry to hear about your illness brother, I hope you get well soon. I know you don’t like when I talk about house politics brother, but I just need to tell someone about what has happened. The Cobalt Patriarch passed away, his heir is young, about my age actually. I think Father and the other houses wanted to undercut his new authority. During the memorial for his own father he was seated next to me and other younger nobles, instead of with the house heads where he belonged. They didn’t want him to speak, but he did, whispers at first winning people at the table over to his cause, myself included. Soon he had won the room, and we demanded he speak. I feel bad for going against our father like that but I don’t know, this new Cobalt Patriarch is something else.
