I've had some in-depth conversations with Lady Bonnie Shepherd, talking about duty, telling her of what sort of a person I want to be. She used to claw from the world what she could, taking from those weaker than herself, and though she seems to have reformed, I feel as though she is shaped by her past. Then again, aren't we all?

The two of us are so very different, and yet I enjoy her company immensely.

I stumbled into an interesting and stimulating conversation with Lord Savio Amadeo at the Archives. A popular place, it seems, for before we knew it, a multitude of voices had added to the conversation: Briseis, Caspian, Ilira, and even Patrizio. The conversation shifted into relaxing socializing and playful banter.

A most delightful gathering.

Never had I expected to meet one of Dimitri's cousins here, and yet, there she was: Lady Marena Inverno. What an interesting woman. She attended our wedding, and then his funeral.

The years pass like falling autumn leaves, and though my loss is still just as endlessly vast, it has become more... bearable.

My mother insists I remarry. It is my duty as a princess of House Velenosa. Is that not part of the reason I returned to Arx? Hrm.

I had the absolute pleasure of spending some time with Lady Mabelle of House Laurent.

What a font of inspiration, meeting someone so devoted to innovation and culture. Fascinating. I shall have to visit her salon as soon as it opens.

In recent months, I have found myself focusing inwards, contemplating my place in the world, my duties, my obligations, and my path in life. I decided to return to the capital. Perhaps I will find the way forward here.

At the Shrine of the First Choice there is a painting with a plaque next to it. It's of Prism and Skald, I think? But the piece conveys a sweet moment between lovers that find themselves again and again life after life.

I think it almost tore my heart out.

Today, I met his Majesty the King Alaric IV, Dominus Aureth, Duke Cristoph Laurent --- oh and Lord.. Grady... uh.. Deepwood! Yes that's it.

All together in the same shrine. It was very intense.

It was also very intimidating and it took everything I had not to make a complete fool of myself. I must pursue etiquette lessons as soon as possible.

We arrived just shy of two months ago, the Great Road carrying myself and my husband to a city I have only ever seen in times of war. It has been a nice change of pace to see it when not actively under attack, though apparently its still quite volatile. Still, we've been able to attend a few events and meet some new people. My training has intensified in my seeking to be a better knight, and it has been paying off enormously. My thanks to those who have taken the time to show me where I can yet improve.
