Chapter Text
As a final note, please write to my father assuring him I will be able to complete my studies as your wife. I am so desperately eager to be married to you, but Papa worries I’ll let my learning fall by the wayside. I’ve told him over and over that it won’t be a problem, but it might mean more in your hand.
Faithfully yours,
DH
Dear Lord Hainsworth,
I’ve recently become aware of your concern for your daughter’s education. Please allow me to assuage your fears as best I can.
Of course you are right to be concerned for Delilah’s betterment; magic is a fascinating study and one it behooves any person to complete. I only wish I’d had the talent for it, but it wasn’t to be, and being married to a wizard in her own right would bring me nothing but pleasure. I can assure you that I have the funds at my disposal to hire a tutor for the completion of Delilah’s studies as soon as she is ready to move to the Briarwood estate. Alternately, she is welcome to bring her current tutor, if Abjurist Book is amenable to moving with her, and he will be taken into my employ at his current salary.
My plan to ensure Delilah’s education is in fact quite detailed, as we have discussed it on several occasions. Allow me to elaborate…
Darling Sylas,
It worked! Papa says we can begin planning the wedding now. Oh, I can’t wait. I’m too excited to write much, I’ll send something else tomorrow. I love you!
