The First Prince still had his doubts, but he decided to let Henry join the war anyway. Henry was undoubtedly a double-edged sword, but the Prince was willing to take the risk.
He stood up, walked to his desk, picked up a quill, and began to draft a formal invitation.
He needed to ensure every word conveyed the importance he placed on Henry while also hinting that his arrival would be a major boon to his personal faction.
The First Prince spoke as he wrote, "Countess Ratifa, deliver this letter to Henry personally. Tell him I have the highest expectations for his army and his talents. I need his strength, and I need his loyalty."
Ratifa accepted the letter, a flicker of joy in her eyes.
"Your Highness, I will personally convey your wishes to Henry."
