>[High inside the Castle's Royal Chambers, The Queen hand drafts a letter.]
"Ms Dia Mond,
It was a pleasure seeing you at my Castle some time past. Word reaches me that your mining operations has been a successful and fruitful endeavour. With your permission, of course, I would love to visit some time and see firsthand what my lands have become and the infrastructure you have put in place.
The issue of the explosion is not one that can be overlooked. You are lucky that by all accounts, Ms Castro, the Farmer Girl, was not at her nearby home at the time. I remind you of the deal you agreed to, regarding Ms Castro's wellbeing. I will be blunt: you will not interfere with her personally, and I pray there is no need for further discussion.
However, it comes to my attention you are offering some sort of wager system for the B1. I would like to join."
>[The Queen mulls over her choices. In A Block, it is hard to overlook Ms Zelkorin and the war Goddess Minamoto no Tama, solely due to their size. However Ms Durango had proven herself a formidable persona when she met with The Queen. Of course, Ms Romero is a veteran as well, and though the thoughts of Claire bring up mixed feelings, there is no doubt Ms Natsushiro, the Shogun, would be a strong choice.]
>[As for the B Block, The Queen admittedly is unfamiliar with many. The Ogre, of course, should be a strong contender, but her recent history had proven anything but. Victoria has yet to meet this elder Kade, but by all accounts she is a force to be reckoned with. And the new demeanour shown by Ms Flores make her a wildcard.]
"To win the A Block, I believe Zuni will come out on top.
In the B Block, Cassie Kade.
And when these two meet, Zuni will claim victory.
Please find enclosed my entry fee of $20.
-- Her Majesty, Victoria Royale, Queen of Spaghetti Town and all surrounding jurisdictions."
