I forgot how it felt to be poisoned, honestly. Today is miserable, everything is miserable.

Isolde, you're being petty. Just tell me which antidote it is.

It wasn't even your favourite courtesan.

Relationship Note on Niccolo

His grace has been more of a father than any other man I know. It is known his prowess as a leader of troops is far superior to many. I could learn a thing or two. Perhaps I shall sit for a time with him soon and explore somewhat further how I might follow in his footsteps. The archduchess will need more than just one man to command her forces in the years to come.

Relationship Note on Audric

I may have spotted a fellow with even more outrageous fashion sense than you, general. I know, hard to believe.

My brief reprieve of Arx has come at the best of times. Few people to speak to, good game to hunt and only a minor altercation that involved blood spilt. I didn't even start the fight for once.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

The Black Widow's reputation precedes her but the chance of danger seems worth it.

Relationship Note on Blacktongue

My uncle continues to surprise me with the levels of depth he has. I am glad we are under one roof once more. If nothing else I enjoy seeing the aftermath of his victims.

Supposedly foxes can be trained to eat snakes. Poor Hiss. Let's hope he is faster.

Relationship Note on Audric

That's because your hat is a hussy and shakes its feathers at all who pass by. Shouldn't you try something with more distinction?

Relationship Note on Audric

Floppy hats and clawed gauntlets have very little in common, it's true. My accessories do assist with destroy my opponents, however. Your feathery plumes can only tickle them. How ineffective.

Relationship Note on Audric

His hat doesn't have the stomach for violence, apparently. Luckily he does, so we can be friends.

The princesses, Isolde Velenosa and Deva Redrain, did well in their preparations for the delegation. What they might not have prepared themselves for though is the fact we're now going to be dealing directly with a menace of the like I doubt many of us has ever seen before... that we recall, anyway.

It turns out elves are a smug bunch and sarcastic as fuck too. They play it up quite well but honestly one can see from a mile off that their court is in as much disorder as ours, likely.

As part of the delegation the group met them in the woods of the Gray Forest but the interaction was overall a success. We'll see how the negotiations with their kind go from here on out.

Relationship Note on Branan

A poet. A poet that now lives within the estate. So long as he's not bunking with me I'll find a way to make do. If he recites poetry over breakfast I might not be so amicable.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

Apparently I'm not allowed to let Hiss kill her fox. Since when did I shoulder the burden of telling natural predators what they can and can't do? Pray for me, scholars. This is one task I think I cannot accomplish.

Relationship Note on Serafine

Quick but not quick enough. She has a habit of taking me on despite the "unfairness" of combat. It's a trait I can admire. There's nothing fair about fighting to the death so why should there be when training for it?

Mistress Eithne's work with rubicund to conclude the set of armour I've commissioned has yet to be finished but from what I can tell her ability is rivalled by none. It remains to be seen if the equipment comes out as I dreamed it to be.

Master Kenemir's work with southern hides of Lyceum diresnake is to be commended. The leather armour developed to my designs has so far been found pleasing.

It seems that Hiss, my viper, may have killed Princess Jaenelle's rabbit. I have made amends with a gift and so far, I am forgiven.

This does, however, speak of the warning against the archduchess' wish to own a cat. It will not end well.

Princess Isolde has been proposed to by Prince Darren and it happened during the Assembly. It seems she has made her condition; he must give her the stars in exchange for her hand.

Nothing short of this is acceptable, after all, for a Velenosa princess.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

They call her the Black Widow, they say her touch can poison a man. Whether true or not, her mind is sharp and therefore as dangerous. The woman is not the girl she was years ago in Lenosia, for certain.
