My dear, A little matter I've failed to mention, I'm the deposed Ruritratinate of Ruritania. A sad story, really, My uncle deposed me for the declaring the empire a poetic state. I was taken to the boarder, made to swim one of the glacial rivers isolating my country. I live an ex-patriot's life, each morning writing a poem, and sending it to my loyal subjects attached to the next wind.
