[indent]After a long night of celebrating another vessel having return from a delivery on an extremely dangerous trading route Henrik had [/indent]finally rolled in his bed while underneath of his bearskin blanket. When he opened his eyes the sunlight was spilling into his room from the large door that had been left open from the night previous. He stretched both arms out and noticed that there was one more person in the bed than normally there. Neither were dressed and only one was supposed to be there; the first was his wife Viola, the second was an extremely gorgeous redhead whom Henrik had never seen before in his life. Confused he got out of his bed and walked over to the open door leading to his balcony after put on some underclothing, everything looked fine towards the market and docks which is exactly how Henrik liked to start his day. Next was to figure out how to explain how this scenario had happened. While running his hands through his hair he heard a voice coming from behind him. Viola was the one speaking "Henrik come back to bed, give our company a little present before she continues on her travels" When he turned around both women were sitting up staring at him, gesturing playfully for him to come over. How could Henrik deny a request from his wife. 

[indent] After seeing his guest off (still not knowing her name or where she had come from) and having a bath Henrik decided that he should [/indent] go over to the headquarters to go over the final manifest from the successful delivery. While walking slowly up the road on the way to the headquarters, one of his loyal associates was sprinting towards him, still confused about the morning and not paying attention he moved to the right to allow him to get by. When he stopped right in front of him he realized who it was. Half out of breathe he handed Henrik a letter " This ... this ... arrived by raven ... last night ... didn't want to spoil ... your evening" Henrik took the rolled letter from his associate and turned it over to reveal a seal on it. The instant he seen the seal this his face went scarlet red, shaking with anger within a split second his associate was on the ground and Henrik had blood on his knuckles. Great just bloody great, after reading it over while walking to HQ the letter was for a council meeting scheduled for today. Of course it was for today, what a way to put a damper on an excellent start to his day.

[indent] After calling a Malsiprius house meeting an gathering all of associates and royal members of the house Henrik was going to get to [/indent] the bottom of why the letter " only arrived yesterday" and why he wasn't informed sooner. After sitting down his father said that the raven looked like it had a injured wing, which would explain why it never arrived earlier since there is always a reasonable amount of notice. After the house meeting was over Henrik grabbed a piece of parchment and ink and sat down to start writing an apology & update letter. How Henrik wishes he could just rewind and be lying in his bed again.
