Royal Pain,

You're so touchy, you know that? And it's awfully bold of you to assume you're my favorite cousin, considering you're the cousin I see the least, besides your brother, of course. No matter, I thank you again for your gifts and I will pretend you didn't say what you did about my future husband for the sake of our friendship. I'm looking forward to your visit (don't read into that) and I would love to try out some alchemy with you - perhaps one day the two of us will invent something as fascinating as the things that Monsieur Flamel created! First off, I'm not too soft to kill you so don't get comfortable, second, Narcissus wouldn't care if I walked off a bridge unless it somehow affected his reputation so I think you're good there.
