Damien, Matthew, and Sam could not have written the note to you after the first kiss scene, which means they had to ask Erik or James to do it. Which must have been a hilarious conversation.
Actually, wasn’t Matthew literate? He’s shown reading in one of the flashbacks, before the book gets taken away to James at least. His mum wanted him sort of as a rival to James, a real competitor for the throne.
But yes, Sam and Damien at least would’ve had to ask someone else to write the note for them 😂
