To my dearest Anya,
You must be really upset.
I pray that you can forgive our Father for hiding my death from you. It was a decision that I made myself because I know you the best. Hearing the news of my execution would make you come back to Sazula and I do not want to hinder your education.
Do you remember the letters that I have sent to you before? In its contents, are praises for the Crown Prince and words of excitement for our announced engagement. He was kind to me and he treated me with respect. His actions towards me have fueled my anticipation of being his Queen. However, his kindness was all a façade. The, now, King's heart belongs to another and I was merely a decorative piece for the throne. The day of the wedding passed and I was left alone in the farthest palace. I have lived my life, ignored and neglected. Cowering to people that are supposed to be doing the same to me.
Until the day he was born. The rough nights I have spent with the King, bare its seed and your nephew, Kali, was born. He became my salvation. My only warmth in this cold palace. Yet, he was looked down upon and his Father treated him with contempt because I was his Mother.
So, as my dying wish, my dearest Anya. I beg of you. Protect my son. Especially from the woman who wears an innocent face. After all, she was the one who framed me and condemned me to death.
Your sister even in death,
Ilya Seolha
