I spy with my little eye..

Dear Scarlett,                                                                                                                                                    12.08.1816

if you're reading this you probably found our old box in your tree. If you're confused: when Dad left he gave there his gun and I gave there my necklace there about the same time as this letter. I knew you would find the secret space, because from very young age you are unnaturally smart. I know you're probably wondering why did I write this... well there's something I need to tell you.

You probably recieved your acceptance letter for the selection by now. You're probably wondering how I know about this.. well.. there is this thing I never told You about..

When I was really young,  the young King and Queen of Elauhar travelled through the Kingdom and visited some towns. Fiilaris was one of the privilledged and I was the one chosen to perform for them when they arrived. I trained for weeks and when the finally the day came I performed  the best I could. The King and Queen absolutely adored it, so they invited me to live in the palace and play through the time of christmas at most of the main balls (it was also the time of The Selection). I stayed there for a month, and because I was curious I always tried to get as much information from every situation. Thats how I learnt for the first time about the Southern Rebellion. The worst rebellion of all time, our kingdom was fighting them for a while but the situatiion got its peek on the traditional Royal Family Ball, during wich they attacked the palace. 

If you're weirded out, and don't know nothing about it, its probably because the case was nationally silenced. Anyway, during the evacuation of of the guests to the bunkers, I got shot in my left leg, as I layed there half uncouciously I felt someone pick me up and run with me away.

The next thing I know is that I wake up in the main bunker with the whole Royal Family and their main secret spy with my leg bulletless and bandaged. We were locked down for 5 days I think, and during that time I got to really know the Royal Family, I realized that they are really nice normal people and not some rich snobs. I also got the name of the  nationall secret spy/warrior.. his name was Matheo Whines-Clurrent. An yes, that's your father. From then on I started meeting up with Matt and we grew closer each day. He always told me all the new information, and I felt like this job was really appealing, so I begged the Royal Family if I could be a secret spy also.. after a lot of deciding and training they finally agreed I can become one to. 

From then on I had to go udercover as a poor 4 cast family (before, I was a 3) in Fiilaris with Matt, what wasn't a problem because we truly loved ourselves, we also decided on starting a family (I swear starting a family wasn't a part of the undercover!) I'm telling you about this now, because we weren't suppouse to tell our children. Keir found out by accident one day, because he got a stupid idea of going through fathers hidden old stuf and found this letter for him. In the letter Father explained everything to him and immediately Keir wanted to become a national spy to. The time the Rebellion attacked Fiilaris, they were looking for me and your brother. They were commanded to kill you, so it would dissuade us from continuing spying. When they were holding us captive and asking for certain infromation, they tried to find out who of the other suspects on spying were acually spies. Thankfully for I don't know what reason they didn't kill anyone.. because they for sure knew in Fiilaris were three confirmed spies.. They probably just didn't realize who the last one was.

Over the course of years I worked against the SR  and after a couple of years they started backing off till the time they disappeared completely. In the last couple of months tho, they came back with twice the force. All of us spies tried to keep it as much lowkey from the King and Queen, so they wouldn't be worried.. A couple months before I got pregnant with the baby I, as one of the most succesfull spies, went on a very important mission to the Palace (the time I told you I was performing in a nearby town). The mission went really well.. but unfortunately one of the rebells recognized my face.. From then on I became looking out for us on every corner.. guarding the house at nights and days to be always fully repared for when they finally  found me.
