Have Faith Princess. Walk your path forwards never forgetting the turns already taken but only so you know which turns to take in the future.

Duty is important to all, but it must be tempered with wisdom and Faith. It is easy to follow rote restrictions and point to them saying that this is how it must be done for here it is written. Every situation is different. Every person is different. We must be able to perform our duties with honor and be true to our ideals. It is not impossible to bring all these ideas together.
It is just difficult at first, until one gets used to it.

Relationship Note on Cassius
I was surprised to receive a commission from Duke Cassius Pravus, once Lord Cassius Nightgold. I expressed to someone who knows slightly more of him than I do that I didn't have the impression that Duke Cassius had a sense of humor about himself, to which I was informed that Duke Cassius doesn't have a sense of humor at all.
So I took to his journals. And I found that Duke Cassius is, in fact, one of the worst things a person can be.
Dull.
Faithful, self-righteously dull, even, which is much worse. "Stalwart" is one of the most damningly boring words you can see used to describe a person. Duke Cassius belongs in the Oathlands, but he is a Northerner by birth without their sense of freedom and boisterousness, and a Lycene by marriage without their flair for wit or intrigue. It is little wonder Stonedeep traded him away, and I can only imagine he brought much of Nightgold's gold with him to offer any sort of temptation to Pravus to take him. One assumes that he was relegated to Setarco for so long in hopes that he'd learn how to be interesting and to give his wife space to find actual entertainment in Arx.
Perhaps the Pravuses have simply estimated that they can save money on poison by bringing Duke Cassius to dinners with their enemies and letting him converse about the Gods until they go ahead and poison _themselves_.
Please direct all complaints about this entry to its commissioner, Duke Cassius Pravus.

Well said.
I was literally about to write this very thing. Duty is the most important thing for anyone -- or should be. Our duties just differ depending upon our station.

While perusing through the whites, I think I understand now a little more. I was always told that I would have difficulty as a prodigal in Arx, but the various attitudes on nobility and being a commoner are refreshing.

I managed to escape the color celebration after giving my donation without being covered in powder. I suspect I'll need to watch my back for a few days, lest someone try to tag me after the fact to bring some sort of completeness to the mess.

I am excited with the news I'm to be a Knight. It is an honour, and I wish to serve the Lyceum well. In addition to all that, I have found something of a muse once more to continue with the shop, although I must consider my other duties, I do hope to have new things, for now I have restocked it.

From the responses I often receive to my Whites, it seems that many -- particularly among the nobility -- are strangely in want of insult. And while I am always happy to compose insult to suit my own whims, I have no intention of doing so by request.
I will, however, consider doing so by commission. I will glance at the buyer's Whites or draw from what I know of their public behavior to compose something suitable. Pricing will range from 1,000 to 10,000 silver for nobles ranging from the family of Barons and Baronesses to the High Lords of our Great Houses.
Or 50,000 if the King is feeling bored. He does seem to be enjoying an unreasonable amount of goodwill since his return to society, and I'm sure he has days he might enjoy some viciousness.
To be clear: if you send me money, I will be insulting you, not some other target of your choice. I will offer no refunds when I hurt your feelings. That is the point.
