"Dear madam, it has come to my attention that your son is in the same unit as me.
Please don't be alarmed. I figured out that Aradon is the son of your esteemed self and thought to write you this letter.
In truth, I am very worried about Aradon. Lately, he has been struck by lovesickness. The person he is in love with is princess Aelene. However, Aradon wanted to impress her on his own without his family's influence, so please if you receive this letter, treat the situation with some discretion.
If you want to confirm the truth, currently, Aradon is stationed at the capital city to see princess Aelene daily. However, I would advise against arranging a marriage with the royal family because Aradon has expressed hesitation about arranged marriage. However, as I currently see it, there are a few obstacles to Aradon's love life.
Chief of them all is our neighbor. Prince V'sonn of the Dark Elves has expressed interests in princess Aelene lately. At this rate, in the coming years, he will come and ask for princess Aelene's hands. For Aradon's sake, I urge that you must act on his behalf at all cost. It is for his love life you see.
The second obstacle is the lack of interaction between princess Aelene and Aradon.
Currently, Aradon has signed up as a defender of the city, and a ranger in training, stationed at a barrack near the city. For the love of your son, I urge you to not blow his cover. Instead, if you, with your position as one of the most esteemed High Elven Archmage visited the militia outpost using some excuses such as testing the city defense, princess Aelene will definitely have to come and greet you as representative of the royal family. Perhaps with that, it can create opportunity for Aradon as a ranger to get close to the princess.
Also, with this as an opportunity, you can visit your son in secret, I know how a mother must miss her son. If so, you should bring a magic tome for Aradon as he has expressed wishes to learn more magic but the militia barrack lacks reading materials on magic. Aradon absolutely loves magic. Everyday he laments about the fact that he can't learn magic. At any opportunity he has, he would talk about magic theory. It saddens me to see such a good friend losing his chance to learn.
That is all from me.
Signed
A concerned friend."
The last part is a lie of course. Aradon dislike magic because of Aelene, with his mother urging, I hope I can bullshit him somehow. Ha, now that his mother knows where he is, Aradon will definitely be forced to learn magic whether he likes it or not.
Though does that make me a bad friend?
Of course not.
"Are you done? Come back to bed.~"
Anyway, what is done is done, I send the letter away anonymously by the griffin delivery corp. Guaranteed arrival in three days even if the recipient is on the other side of the kingdom.
Well, I have a more pressing issue in front of me. A large issue.
----------------------------------------
"What is this?"
The students of the High Elven Archmage Elanna Caemfaere double as handyman. They also handle the mail sent to the High Elven Archmage to weed out the junk mails. The High Archmage has a temper, after the third times she receives junk mails, she was ready to burn down the entire forest southward of the academy where the letters come from.
An entire patch of the forest almost burn down because of advertisement pamphlets.
"The sender is unknown, send it to the burnable pile." Student A said while prepping the fire with his hand.
Of course while they are all students, they are also powerful mages, the future of the Elven race. Each and every single one of them could be called heroes if they appear in the human land, however, currently they are stuck on mails duty.
Is it a wonder why "Student A" is so annoyed at junk mails and wants to get it all over with?
Magic that can be used to kill a man in one single hit is being used to destroyed mails.
Right at that moment, "Student B", who is a very stable 'girl' objects.
The reason all students including "Student A" call her a girl is because they don't want to get hit. This year, a certain "Student B" has turned 300 and has still yet to graduate or get herself a man.
"What if it is something important? It may just be something that involves the fate of the kingdom."
"I very much doubt that, I have had enough of reading about remedies for mustaches grow. Those inner city bastard, why are they sending us so much junk. This is an academy not their dumpster. Tsk no respect at all."

"But what if it is a letter from a prince who wanted to propose to a certain student at our school anonymously, however, they didn't have the bravery to ask the involved participant face to face and so has to go through that certain person's mentor in order to arrange a marriage with that certain person."
""""..............""""
The entire court was deadly silent.
'Shit I don't want to get hit' A certain "Student A" thought.
200 years ago, during a certain old maiden's maiden years, a certain student at a certain academy fell in love with a prince from the royal elven bloodline. However, when that prince turned her down and returned to court, a certain student has been pinning for that prince all that time.
"Very well, you will have the pleasure to read it first then." Student A conceded.
....
"This is definitely a scam." Student B puts the letter down, and then, in the middle of the day, the sky turn dark as time flows slower. A giant elongated eldritch bolt coagulated from time itself appeared due to a "certain" student's sheer rage. When an elven mage reach a certain level of understanding, magic as others understand it does not apply to them anymore. An elven high mage does not run out mana when they understand that everything around them are magic, even time itself.
Regretfully, none of the students present except for a certain "Student B" has reached that level.
Because of that, a certain "Student A" ushers all of his juniors out of the room, the hallway, and then out of that section of the academy.
During noon, a certain tower explodes.
----------------------------------------
"This is the third times this month a student has destroyed a section of the academy."
"""""We are sorry Professor Caemfaere."""""
"Erisaale is currently in house arrest. Now, you, second eldest, explains what happened."
A certain "Student A" is put on the stand. He knows that if he answers incorrectly, he will get hit, so he decides to sell his fellow students out.
"We were sorting junk mails this afternoon. I was about to burn a certain junk mail, however a certain student, let's call her Student B, suddenly had delusion that that junk mail is actually a love proposal from a certain prince. Student B insisted on reading the letter. However, it turned out to be actual junk mail instead."
"...ah. I see. I was wondering why she suddenly volunteered to sort out junk mail.
I have to say that your elder sister's delusion has gotten stronger lately. As the second eldest, you have to do something about it."
The professor declared.
A certain "Student A" stares at her.
'Fuck, why do I have to? Isn't it your job teacher?' However, professor Caemfaere already acts as if the matter has been settled.
Suddenly, while this was happening, a certain "Student C" appears and pats "Student A" back. Afterward, he whisper in "Student A" ear.
"Don't worry friend, I have a foolproof plan for dealing with this problem, but you will have to sell your body."
"...what?"
"To solve our eldest's problem is very simple. She is in need of prince, you just have to give your body to her." In fact, a certain student can be considered a prince.
"Afterward, I'm sure she will satisfied, but you will lose something very important. Take one for the team dear friend, for the good of us all."
A certain "Student A" was speechless. Afterward, in place of "Student C", instead there is a statue made out of purplish energy.
The statue is in fact "Student C".
At that moment, "Student A" thought
'I may be afraid of teacher and Erisaale but you really want to get hit don't you?'
Seeing her students' antics, Elanna Caemfaere only has a smile on her face. With a wave of her hand, time for the destroyed section of the academy reverses. Instead of the scene of carnage, a pristine tower was in place again.
A letter flutters in the air, the offending junk mail. Curious, her eyes briefly glimpses at the content.
The moment her eyes landed on the word 'Aradon', she suddenly stops. The letter was instantly drawn to her hand.
The students were curious as their teacher went through the letter thoroughly. After reading, suddenly she starts giggling. Even Student A is afraid!
Slowly, he backs away from the giggling professor.
'She isn't going to destroy the academy again is she?'
"Okay students, the rest of you get a break until I return, and you-"
In his place, "Student A" shivers at whatever event that has just transpired
"Release your brother. And get Erisaale too, you three eldest are accompanying me to the capital city."
