Long may the skies hold you in high regard and bright esteem, for I am certain your kindness pleases them. I do not understand much of your missive, for which I pray you must forgive me, for I am but of the weaker feminine persuasion and therefore a small and humble mind.
But my master of letters and my master of the feminine arts, in which I work to be accomplished, and my brother's master of guards have read this. And it pleases them to have put in less refined words, so that I may grasp your truth and answer it with mine. And I thank them.
If I have misled you, I am told with grace and honour to kindly discourage the notion. For am I a princess of the blood, and soon to reconcile with the skies as their unworthy chosen, and so I do not pick the matter of my husband. That is for Alem to decide, as those of Alem are my people, and those of Alem are my concern. Though I know this will injure you, I pray you strength and much kindness, for we cannot be wedded, and so we need not kindle a formal courtship.

Master Wei Wuxian,
Long may the skies hold you in high regard and bright esteem, for I am certain your kindness pleases them. I do not understand much of your missive, for which I pray you must forgive me, for I am but of the weaker feminine persuasion and therefore a small and humble mind.
But my master of letters and my master of the feminine arts, in which I work to be accomplished, and my brother's master of guards have read this. And it pleases them to have put in less refined words, so that I may grasp your truth and answer it with mine. And I thank them.
If I have misled you, I am told with grace and honour to kindly discourage the notion. For am I a princess of the blood, and soon to reconcile with the skies as their unworthy chosen, and so I do not pick the matter of my husband. That is for Alem to decide, as those of Alem are my people, and those of Alem are my concern. Though I know this will injure you, I pray you strength and much kindness, for we cannot be wedded, and so we need not kindle a formal courtship.
May there be only light in your darkest hours.
