Six months after Charles had passed away, Caddaric and Aimee slowly began to get back to their everyday lives. Caddaric had given Aimee a big birthday celebration that he had spent days planning and preparing for her with a day filled with fun and relaxation. However, one day, Caddaric and Aimee enjoyed some quiet time alone when Aimee received a message from an anonymous sender. When Aimee finished reading the letter, her mood changed from calm and happy to one of anger and fury. "I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!" Aimee furiously shouted as she slammed the letter down onto the table. "Aimee, what's wrong, my love?" Caddaric calmly asked as he tried to calm her down. "Just read the message I just received, Caddy," Aimee said as tears began to form in her eyes.
Caddaric then went over to the table and picked up the letter that Aimee had received, which read:
Dear Princess Aimee,
I am writing you this letter to inform and warn you of the deceit and lies that your former suitor, Prince Pelmazo, is spreading. Recently, Prince Pelmazo has been spreading a false rumor amongst both the royal and nonroyal circles that you were unfaithful towards him while you were still in a relationship with him with your current suitor, Prince Caddaric. Unlike those gullible and idiotic buffoons who listen to him, I do not believe a single word that horrid man says, for I know that he is trying to ruin your reputation along with your relationship. It would be wise if Your Highness did speak out against your former suitor's false words against yourself and your beloved prince. After all, these things do not go away overnight, and if you choose to ignore them, things will only continue to worsen.
I am a big supporter of Your Highness's relationship with His Highness, Prince Caddaric. I can see how much you both love and care about one another, and I firmly believe that you are each other's other half and that your love is meant to last forever. However, My Lady, I must warn you that this may not be the last time that this so-called horrible prince will try to attack both of you through rumors and lies. Just in case either one of you or even both of you need an ally against Pelmazo and his few friends and supporters, follow these instructions. Take this letter to a blazing and roaring fire to see an unseen map and use the map and its instructions to find both myself and my home.
Your humble and obedient servant,
A Friend with wisdom and magic!
Once Caddaric had finished reading the letter, he set it down and went over to Aimee, who was now in tears, took her in his arms, and gently kissed the top of her head. "Aimee, my darling, it's alright even I know that it's not true," Caddaric said as he comforted her. "We met after you broke up with that dobber, and our relationship started a few months afterward. It's going to take more than that to tear me away from you, my wee bonnie jo, because I love you so much."
Aimee looked up at Caddaric's sweet and loving face smiling down at her. "I know, Caddy," Aimee said as she dried up her tears. "But I still cannot believe that he would do something this cruel. Pelmazo is trying to break us up and ruin my reputation in the process at the same time."
"I know Pooka," Caddaric sweetly told his beloved princess. "Maybe we should listen to the person who wrote you this letter. Whoever wrote it knows what they are talking about, and they are right. If we choose to ignore it, things will only get worse, and these rumors and lies that he is spreading will not go away."
"If we do try to set the record straight, what will we do if he tries to attack us just to try to ruin our relationship again?" Aimee asked her beloved prince as she started to calm down. "Then we could ask our friends to help us expose Pelmazo for who he is, and if things get worse, we could always try and seek out the letter's author," Caddaric suggested as he continued to comfort his princess. "Aimee, I promise you that if that brut tries to even come near you or hurt you, he will have to deal with me. I know you can handle things on your own, but there are some battles that you cannot fight and win on your own, and I, along with our friends and our families, will always be there willing to help."
"Oh, Caddaric, what did I ever do to deserve an angel like you?" Aimee asked Caddaric as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Just by being your wonderful self," Caddaric answered as he held her gently and lovingly. "The only thing I wonder is what did I do to deserve a beautiful, intelligent, and independent woman like you?"
Aimee smiled as she laughed at Caddaric's question before truthfully answering him. "By just being your wonderful self," Aimee said as Caddaric smiled at her response and began to laugh. "Well then, My Lady, shall we go and show everyone that the words that come out of that prick's mouth are nothing but lies," Caddaric said as he held out his hand. "Yes, My Lord, we shall," Aimee flirtatiously said as she took Caddaric's hand into her own. With that, they both went off to set things straight. However, what they did not expect was for Pelmazo and his friends to have another trick up their sleeves, and this one would claim the lives of nearly half of their kingdoms combined.
