Message from the mysterious "Kitty Phantom Thief."
Letter from the Phantom Thief Cipher
Dear Princess Homebody:
Walking through the busy garden, I discovered the remarkable gifts crafted by Princess Homebody. They are truly splendid, and I am most impressed.
I'm also taken with your charming presents prepared for fellow Chrysos Heirs. In your right parlor, I observed the beautiful felt dolls, the beige-and-lavender striped tapestry, the classic Aidonian tripod table, and in the left parlor, the jewelry and exquisite art pieces meant as gifts.
This time, I've claimed only this modest gift. I fear it would attract tasteless little thieves, so I shall safeguard it for now. Naturally, I've left appropriate payment — a single coin. If the price displeases you, feel free to negotiate its return. Though should that happen, I won't be satisfied with merely one coin.
Should you wish to find me, visit the Marmoreal Market. There lies a Golden Short Spear I've left — you know what to do. It shall guide you to me! And before you ask — I won't accept any questions.
Please forgive this small intrusion and accept my highest regards.
P.S.: Who displays biological specimens at home? They're quite unsettling. You might want to store them away when entertaining guests.
P.P.S.: Despite your considerable investment in the Aidonian Ossuary hanging in your parlor, I regret to inform you it's a fake. The original was craftily switched by those cunning scholars of the Grove of Epiphany. The full story can be found in the yet-unpublished Memoirs of Cifera.
