[Aynia]

Aynia grinned largely back at the woman. She knew all she had to do was take off the wig and pull the amulet from her pocket and no one in the tavern would touch her, but she decided to bide her time and used the letter she prepared.

"You could say I may be the greatest spy of them all, my dearest Lord Captain. But I understand the need for surety. I was told to give this when asked for proof of my service to our Queen. I dare say there can be none more loyal to Her Majesty than myself." She snickered before she could catch herself and pulled a small piece of rolled paper from her dress pocket to hand to the woman. "This should be all the proof you need."

The note was sealed with the royal wax seal and it appeared completely legitimate. Once opened it revealed a handwritten message that read:

My Dearest Lord Captain,

The woman before you is on a direct mission from myself, Her Majesty Queen Aynia Elizabeth Celeste Moreaux, with aims of contacting a Lord Captain of the Bloody Fleet regarding an arrangement sought by myself on behalf of the Warren. Please allow her to explain in private as to my personal request.

Yours Truly,

Aynia Moreaux
