Relationship Note on Acacia

I'm not even going to lie, that was an impressive win of the 5,000 silver. Also, making Luca puke is worth about 100,000 silver.

The Mirrorguard have been established and those closest to the family, those most skilled within the royal guard have been drafted to the order.

A prince within the very house they intend to serve, an old friend from as far as Caith and a common scrap with more wit than often know how to do with. It'll be a good start.

We'll succeed as a team where I alone previously failed. We'll remain unbroken until the Thirteenth's final reap.

Relationship Note on Acacia

The Culler woman is back in town. Did you get bored sailing the seven seas on your boat? Or did you not yet get a boat? Where did you even go?

My cousin is home. It seems we have a lot to talk about.

Relationship Note on Luca

Like a brother, this one.

If he were to cry, I would mock him for it, but I would probably give him a shoulder to cry on.

I would then ask for the silver to have the leather unstained. That said, with how rare anything upsets him, I am on the lookout for teardrops of dragonweep.

Relationship Note on Alis

You know, you could just stab the somethings. Or me. You never stab me anymore, your highness.

A sketch has been included into the diaries of Sir Talen Artiglio, Sword of the Velenosa, Dark Knight of Lenosia. It depicts the arrangement of a few pieces of armour amongst candles upon Sovereign Bridge:

a gleaming, polished steel helmet with a visor reminiscent of a mirrormask a sharp
taloned pair of steel gauntlets constructed by overlapping plates a shining
knee-high set of steel sollerets that taper into hooked points

I failed you, but I will not fail our family. This is the end of a chapter, but the beginning of another.

None may harm us unpunished. I will have blood.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

I'm almost certain she wants me dead after the family dinner but, to her credit, she did pretty well. The wine likely helped.

Isolde's fox, 'Tails', tried to take on my viper. It lost.

Team Hiss.

Nobody appreciates the Artiglio sense of humour, it's true. We're a rare species.

We're, however, probably better off that way. People can barely handle Blacktongue and I in the same room.

Relationship Note on Blacktongue

The Iron Guard imprisoned my uncle's apples. They do a great job for the Compact. Well done, guys.

PS, that's fruitist.

Relationship Note on Luca

I will never understand how a man can move so fluidly in combat. I suppose it does give benefits to laying around languidly. I don't think he has a skeleton.

If I see one person not bend the knee, I'll break the knee so it's perpetually bent.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

Really, spiders are -meant- to wander. Oleander the tarantula never did a thing wrong. Perhaps her grace will let you keep it if only you ensure it doesn't end up in amongst her closet full of aeterna and fireweave.

Relationship Note on Leo

The future Archduke is quick with the sword and fought far better than I would have expected. The man has received my token and my blessing to court her grace, Grand Duchess Esera of House Velenosa.

If he is as proficient a partner to my liege as he is at duelling then I only look forward to serving him as part of the family.

If he's to do anything to harm her, however, I will not fight fair as is so expected of me next time. That is a promise.

'His sea has run dry'. Is this a Thraxian term for infertility? A shame, if so.

I'll send flowers.

That's twice in two weeks.

I hate you.

I bet you and Isolde are just giggling away behind those masks of yours.

Relationship Note on Niccolo

I suppose that's one way to do it. I prefer when they just disappear. It always felt so much more mysterious and foreboding that way.

I suppose I'll take the princesses to the beach, since it's summer, rather than the gardens.

Let it be recorded here for all royal wards of the future, even if you grow up amongst them, Velenosa princesses are Velenosa princesses. Don't take their toys.

They don't share well.
