Salutations, My King, Life, Health, Prosperity!
Dearest Tut,

I know how much depends on us - the Two Lands to recover - Ma’At to return to the world.

I promise never to outrun my guards, to let them search every room before I enter, on land and on water, to have at least two by my side whoever I may speak with.

As far as dividing our Court, perhaps it would be best for me to take my grandfather, Lord Aye, and Lord Penthu, our Chief Physician, better for those two to travel North with me, and some of the Children, perhaps Prince Hiknefer, if you can bear to part with him.

Lord Nakhtmin has already proven his competence and loyalty to you. He is so skilled and talented, I trust him totally to guard and guide you through the treacherous paths you must follow in the South.

Though I do not like you going there without me, perhaps ‘they’ will not feel as threatened without my presence. The daughter of the one who attacked rather than protected our ‘Eternal Egypt’, who they may not trust to actually repair the damage left by her father.

Sometimes I am dismayed by so many gods and goddesses as if each part of our lives is ruled by a different deity. But then the whole snaps back into place when I remember your name:
‘Neb Kheper U Re’, O ‘Lord of the Many Forms of Re’! And that All came from Re.

I will return to you, my King, and you must promise me as great a care for yourself.
There is no one who can replace you in the Two Lands or in my heart.
