Relationship Note on Adalyn

Since arriving with Duke Cristoph at Setarco I've heard word that my daughter Adalyn lives.

I'll take this thought to bolster me up as we prepare for the battles soon.

To be in service to a man such as Duke Cristoph is an honor.

Upon my eventual, though to be long from now I sincerely hope, death, my black journals are to be released to Duke Cristoph Laurent.

He may then share or destroy as is in the interest of the Duchy.

There is something about spring time. Even as the leaving of the troops rolls steadily forward, the growing warmth in the air, blooming flowers, and bees starting their busy work is a sign of hope.

Relationship Note on Reigna

I am afraid that with the Marie in the household for a bit I will loose all of my fighting trim. After breakfast this morning I had to loosen my belt.

I will have to sharpen my restraint without appearing ungrateful.

Relationship Note on Wash

I have a newfound respect for hairpins as weapons.

Perhaps Lord Wash should look into procuring some for his own collection.

Relationship Note on Preston

To sow division upon the white pages is most disheartening when we need unity so very much right now.

Relationship Note on Aeryn

I would gladly give my life to the children of any of my late Duke's children. Today however, I find myself especially grateful to Lady Aeryn Laurent.

Thank you Lady Aeryn.

A fine blade deserves to be admired, naked or not.

And that is the last I'll say on the whole matter.

Relationship Note on Thorley

Sir Thorley Sandreef's sword is quite safe from my hands, though I look forward to seeing him use it himself.

My delight is purely that of which is proper for a weapon so finely made.

Relationship Note on Ian

It was an absolute pleasure to spar against you Lord Ian Kennex, and not simply because I was able to use Sir Thorley's beautiful sword.

If any are seeking a challenge then he is a man to be reckoned with.

There are so many words in this world. Using words is simple. Finding the correct ones at the correct time, THAT is the tricky part.

Relationship Note on Jael

Some moments make a teacher inordinately proud, and dear Jael, today was one of those. To have been your teacher is the greatest of honors.

I was able to observe hairpins in action last night. While I could not ever see myself wielding one, there was a certain amount of pleasure in seeing what they could do even among the only partially trained. A valuable weapon for sure, and one I am quite happy some ladies have begun to bare.

Relationship Note on Isolde

My thanks for your suggestion on a place of reflection. It has taken me some time to make my way, but the quiet was what you had suggested.

In a city like Arx it seems to be difficult to find a space for reflection where others may not wander in, or be only a wall away.

At this point I believe silence is the better part of valor and I will retreat there. Princess Alis, Lady Margerie - to the two of you I concede a victory here.

I sincerely and completely do not want to know what the scholars would say about it.

There are some words I never expected to issue forth from my lips.

One more lesson to always expect the unexpected.

I believe you just did make it official.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
