Your Highness,
I write to you from Bavaria, where Queen Anne Brett sent me back, and where I'm still carrying your brother or sister. I just wish to inform you that my pregnancy is going well, and very soon I'll give birth to a Prince or a Princess. I know that he or she is just a bastard, but since I conceived it with a King, I like to consider my womb's fruit like a royal

Lady Inge,
It is refreshing to hear that your pregnancy still goes well and I cannot wait to meet my little brother or sister.
There is some devastating news that I must tell you though. Very recently, my father the king, has passed away while I was in Navarre. He had no sons to pass his throne to so he willed his crown to my cousin, The Queen of Naples as I have no wish to be Queen. I am sure that Tuscany doesn't want a disgraced former Queen of Navarre to preside over them. If you deliver a son, maybe you can gain Tuscany for your child.
Do not ever hesitate to reach out to me if you ever need anything.
Sincerely,
HRH Princess Francesca of Tuscany

Your Highness,
I'm heartbroken learning about King's death. He was not only your father, but also the father of my child. I knew that I'll have to raise this child alone. But now he or she'll never know who his father was. I ask nothing for myself. I just care about my child's inheritance. Further, I'll never separate myself from child. There is no need to try to avoid a scandal, and my reputation is already ruined. But I'll remain at your service and I want you to be part of child's life

Lady Inge,
I would be more than happy to be a part of your child's life once born and to the best of my ability, I will tell my brother or sister about how a wonderful man and King our father was.
As for Tuscany, I fear that you will have to fight against my cousin Sancha for the child's inheritance if it is a boy. I have officially resigned mine and my daughter Madeleine's rights to the throne.
I wish to see you sometime soon. I have lost my husband and daughter to divorce, and I fear my cousin doesn't like me anymore so the child in your womb is the only family that I have left in this world.
Sincerely,
HRH Princess Francesca of Tuscany

Your Highness,
I'm ready to fight for my child's future. But I already know that fighting against Queen Sancha won't be easy. Especially because she is married to Martin de Navarra, the man I had a short affair with before meeting your father. So why should he help me and my child? He surely considers me as a whore. I just ask you to keep this secret, and not to talk about that with anyone. But in spite of all these obstacles, my child remains your family, so lucky having such caring sister

Lady Inge,
Your secret is safe with me. No word of your pregnancy and your situation shall pass my lips. Family means everything to me. Please let me know when you are getting close to delivering your child as I would love to be there to see my brother or sister enter this world.
Sincerely,

Lady Inge,
I do hope and pray that you and my unborn brother or sister is doing quite well. I do have some good news for you though, My cousin Queen Sancha of Naples, has given up her rights to Tuscany's throne, leaving your child the sole heir to the throne despite its illegitimacy.
I have also given up my rights and my daughter's rights to Tuscany's throne as well because I am now a Queen again and I really do not want to rule over Tuscany. It wouldn't feel right at all to me if I did.
I pray for you to have a healthy delivery and please inform me of the birth when it happens!
Sincerely,
HM Queen Francesca of Denmark

Your Majesty,
I'm very happy to let you know that you have now a brother. I gave birth to an healthy boy. I'll name him Leonardo, and I don't care about his royal's rights anymore. I want to raise him in Bavaria like a normal boy. But I'll always talk to him about his father and his sister. Congratulations for your new marriage
Your loyal servant Inge
