   Summary

   "The missive reaches Jaskier two weeks after it was dated. Two weeks after the ink had dried, the fated, dreaded words stark against white paper, haunting in its contents. 

   Two weeks after King Consort Eist had apparently passed, with Queen Calanthe not too far from following."

    

   Or, following a deadly plague in Cintra that claims the lives of the reigning monarchs, Jaskier is tasked with taking care of the young Cintran princess, at least until it is safe for her to return home to claim her throne.

   Will he be able to successfully raise the young girl, despite his misgivings about his ability to do such a thing? Or will his doubts win out, especially once they meet up with a certain reticent witcher, who not so long ago wished him dead and then abandoned him without a word in the middle of the night? Only time, he supposes, will tell.
