I hope this finds you both well and that you've been behaving yourselves. I'm writing this from your mother's house in Solitude, which is where we're both staying for now.
You'll be pleased to know I found her and Cicero did not in fact end up stabbing her parents. Sadly, they were attacked by Falmer before any of us could get there, and while Liriel, her mother and little Cali survived, Liriel's father did not.
Your mother was also injured but she's going to be all right. Cicero and I are looking after her here until she's well enough to bring home. I'm hoping this will be soon. I miss you both, and so does she.
When we do come home, a few things will be changing. I'm not even sure where we'll be living, but hopefully we'll be able to stay in the Keep still. In particular, your mother just lost her father and will be upset over that, as well as still being in a fragile state from her injuries, so I need you both to be good girls for her and not upset her. There's an excellent chance we may be bringing Ancalime with us to live as well, and if we do, she'll be upset over losing her father too, so you will both need to make her feel welcome and help look after her.
As for me, I'm sure Eola told you both I'd been unwell, and I know Lucia saw it for herself. Lucia m'inyeen, from the bottom of my heart, please accept my deepest apologies. No child should ever have to see her father in that state. I'm so sorry, cariad. I promised you I would never touch the stuff again, and I intend to keep that promise. You'll both be seeing me visit the clinic a few times a week now, and taking various potions intended to help me stay healthy. Please don't worry or be scared, I have told your mother everything and she's going to make sure I don't get in that state again.
Take care of yourselves, and make sure your sister isn't working too hard. She doesn't have a Cicero at the moment to fuss over her and make her go to bed or eat, so you'll have to do it.
All my love, Da

“Are you ready for this?” Madanach asked as they walked up to the Blue Palace, arm in arm. Liriel, still pale but rallying, nodded. She had her repaired and cleaned Archmage robes back and her torc and circlet, and also her wedding ring. Madanach had dropped to one knee in their bedroom that morning and formally presented it back, quietly asking her forgiveness and that if she took him back as husband, he would never send her away again or be anything less than her loving companion until the Void took him. Liriel had let him replace it on her finger before helping him up and kissing him, then holding him in her arms, marvelling how one of the fiercest men in Skyrim could be so vulnerable and tender when it was just the two of them.
