Mesdames et Messieurs,

A most serious matter has been brought to my attention - at dawn today, human remains were discovered in the forest of Versailles, not far from his Majesty's hunting lodge.

The death is not viewed as suspicious, although the body seems to have been put upon by wild animals and ravaged!



His Majesty is evidently most concerned about the welfare of his people, and at his lever this morning requested for me to contact all and sundry to make them aware of events, which I have done hence with all due haste.

Courtiers, beware! Be on your guard for any marauding beasts in the darkness of the forest.

Je vous prie d'agrer, Mesdames et Messieurs, l'expression de mes respectueux hommages,

Jean-Bndicte de Dampierre,
Prince de Carpgne et Grand Chamberllan du Roi
