I am very thankful to Lord Gawain who helped to shield me from further injury. I might not be here to right this letter if he didn't do such. Thank you, Lord Gawain for helping us all make it through.

Also I no longer like pink flowers......

Gloria was with us in the Cathedral during the attack on Bastian. We were able to save the clergy there. I am grateful to have had Lady Orelia, Lord Drake, Prince Silvio, Princess Sorrel, Lady Mabelle, Princess Gwenna, Archduchess Jaenelle, Duches Vanora, Princess Graziella and Baroness Lucita there with the Templars defending. They all helped to rescue many brothers and sisters of the faith.

I was very impressed with Lady Orelia in yesterday's battle. She is a woman of great bravery and skill. It was an honor to fight back to back with her.

Relationship Note on Aiden

Aiden is my cousin. I have known him since he first arrived from Bastian. He was Prince Aiden, but became Duke Aiden. We didn't along too well during our first encounters in Compact, but with time we grew to understand each more and more to the point where I counted his friend, family and ally.

There was nobody so talented with birds and avian as Aiden. I have painted a flock of birds to represent his time spent on the missions in the Grayson forest during the winter missions and I will treasure the painting even more so now. Aiden was always amazingly brave in battle and in life. I remember his heroics in the battle of Silence. That was the first battle we fought together, but not the last. He was saved by Lord Estaban who he came to love. And that is one thing I will always remember about Aiden, his deep unconditional and true love for the late Baron Estaban and for Baron Silas.

Duke Aiden was a man of passion, hard work and intense feelings. I was at the Gyre battle when Baron Estaban passed and I was the one who told Aiden. He wasn't at that battle. Instead he went to Crovane and commanded the Grayson forces. He stepped up and took charge and came through for Grayson. I remain grateful toward him for such. But he wasn't there when Estaban passed, as he went where he was most needed by his family and by Compact. He was utterly heartbroken at his passing. His sorrow at the moment still haunts me. I didn't want to be the one to tell him, but I knew that I had to be, that he needed to be told quickly and in person.

Aiden went on become a Duke and a father - a great father and a great Duke.

His balls in celebration of animals will always be remembered. Aiden was an archer and he trained many archers in compact. He gave back and was always wiling to help. The way he died was no surprised, it was how he lived, giving, thinking of others first and putting himself at risk. A life and a death filled with passion and giving.

He will be greatly missed.

I cannot do Marquis Rymarr justice with words. I have been waiting to write something, hoping that I could come with with the right words that would be good enough and yet I don't think that will never happen. I am mostly silent on the journals now and silent in general now. I have little to say anymore out about anything, but for Marquis Rymarr, he deserves for much to be said.

Marquis Rymarr was my protege and he was my ally. He had been my ally since before the time of silence. He taught me how to use a weapon, when I barely knew. He had patience with me and he believed me in me. He was my friend with I was a joke to people, a pretty blonde princess in pink and ribbons who lost every spar and didn't own a full set of armor. He was my ally when it was not popular to be my friend or to be seen with me. When others concealed their connection to me for political reasons, but he never feared what the masses thought and said. There is a tremendous strength and loyalty in that which cannot be overstated. He was not a fair weather ally. He was stormy weather ally. Can there be an alliance that is more powerful and meaningful than such?

There are no words to capture that. He stayed my ally when I was making mistakes, making a fool of myself and when he knew that I was. He privately and gently and carefully and strongly and cleverly helped to guide me back to a path that would be good for me. I have had in my life no greater friend, no stronger ally, no more loyal advisor.

To be Marquis's friend was to have his unconditional support, his honest opinion. There was nobody in the entire land of Compact who could convince him to turn on an ally, to hide a friendship to save face. There was no better and stronger man who I have known or will ever know.

What i feel, I am sure others feel, to be close to him with was to experience a loyalty beyond words. I can only imagine the sorrow that Marquessa Samtha must be feeling. I am sure it is beyond words and I am sorry for her lose. All of Grayson has lost, every person on our fealty. He can never be replaced and there will never another like him.

I remember a long time a long time I went on a hunt against those working for the slaver, the hunt was with my allies at the time - Dame Esoka, Prince Barri, Lord Killian, Prince Luca and Marquis Rymarr. I am the last of them alive. I don't understand why I lived so long and most of my allies and those close to me have died. It might be just luck. I would have died that night if it was not for Rymarr. I am here because of him. I survived the turmoil around me, because of him.

Mistress Josephine will be deeply missed. Her work is wonderful and the jewelry she crafted will likely become heirlooms in many families. I plan to leave the pieces I have of her work my nieces and nephews. She was a wonderful woman who I was honored to know.

The Grayson festival was a great time even if I did end up covered in pie. My thanks to those who ran such - Lord Michael, Princess Liara and Princess Sabella. Also I was happy that Lady Isabetta was there and danced with me, even though she was covered in pie.

I found a very lovely ring in Mistress Josephine's shop which I just sent to Whisper Delia who as kind enough to escort me to a Grayson event. Mistress Josephine makes wonderful jewelry and I was excited to find such. I also found a peridot cat pendant in Master Calaudrin's shop that was perfect for Lady Isabetta.

I was very honored that Lady Delia and Mistress Ronja came as my guests to the Grayson dinners. Lou (not calling her a princess as is her wish) continues have such a warming spirit of adventure. It is very inspiring to hear her speak.

Lord Syd had a great kindness and empathy about him. He was wonderful to speak with. He was one of those people who really had an open mind and heard those speaking to him. I enjoyed every counter I had with him and always found myself a little better for having been around him. He will be greatly missed. Reese

I am blessed to have triumphed in the great hunt hosted by Princess Zara and Princess Tikva.
Their feast was wonderful and a great time. I haven't enjoyed myself so much in a while.
I am thankful to Petrichor for his bounty and Gloria for her guidance. And to those who kept me
company there. The time, stories and words they granted means more than the victory.

Greeting Compact,

I dropped out of the Grand Melee. I am grateful to those who encouraged me to join and wished to see me fight. The reason I am dropping out is that I decided it would be more honorable to drop out than to fight for the honor of my family.

The reason why is that I been told that some are planning to defend me in the Grand Melee in order to help me win such. While I am very flattered that some wish to see me win and wish aid me, I do not feel it would be honorable to fight the melee under those circumstances.

I wish everyone good luck and that Gloria is with them. I hope to watch at least some of the melee and I am excited to see this epic duel.

After much thought, I have decided to join the Tournament of Roses.

I do not expect to win considering how many absolutely amazing warriors there will be at such.

But on the off chance that I am so lucky as to win, I will not be using my favor personally for myself. That is because I am far too blessed and have been given far too much by my family already. I could not imagine asking for more.

Reese.
