Of all the gifts complete with a satin bow to receive, I think the precious little feline I was given is by far my favourite. I woke to find the most beautiful seal-point face watching me from the foot of the bed, with a gold ribbon about his neck and blue eyes wide and curious. The name, I decided, must suit him in elegance and charm and so I have called him Vashti. Such an intelligent creature and my favourite company while I am busy working, though I wish he would keep his little paws away from the ink pots.

I adore him.

As a child living just outside the village of the Saikland Greens I made a small pilgrimage every week from the age of seven to when I left my home to travel. Every three days without fail I would go with my older sisters on the back of the cart to the village and while they tendered wine to the taverns and the market I took a small collection up a winding path to the Saik's Castle kitchen. I have not made that trip in many years but I can still picture which stones on the path were loose, and where the steps begun near a peach tree that blossomed beautifully but never yielded fruit.

For the past months I have found a new path, albeit a far shorter journey now between the Ward of the Crown and Southport Square, that I make every three days. I do not take a crate of wine with me, only a single bottle and two glasses and rather than the kitchen my little pilgrimage ends at the Saik Tower gardens. I know the cobbleroads well, but there are no loose stones and no peach tree to warn of stairs, only the marble faces of late Barons and a whisper on the breeze.

Relationship Note on Luca

Not bad with his sword. Still wouldn't trust him as a guard.

Relationship Note on Anze

It's good to know that no matter what happens you will never lose that charming sense of modesty, Meatball.

Relationship Note on Alis

My favorite pipsqueak is all grown up. I think it was the double date that clinched it. And obviously all my brotherly advice to Alis. Yes, without me this engagement never would have happened. You're welcome shorty.

Relationship Note on Fiachra

Prince Fucking Fiachra. Who'd have thought it. I know you're not there yet, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to say it with a straight face, but I'm glad for you. I'll have to find a suitably flouncy shirt for you. I have no worries for you though, wherever your life may take you. You, more than any other, will always know the way back home.

Relationship Note on Eirlys

Your path is one tangled with thorny brambles, descending into deep valleys, and climbing to the mountain peaks. I think that you've come to me - in all my lacking experience and wisdom - more than anyone else to be the shaman I am meant to be. I try. I am learning by you how to be what I am meant to be. I watch your highs and your lows, and I watch you cut your way through the brambles...I have no doubt that you'll overcome them all and be stronger at the end for it.

Relationship Note on Laric

It is unusually gratifying to have a quiet conversation with a thoughtful and intelligent gentleman. Prince Laric seems to be very insightful, and I value his thoughts on matters serious and grave -- and his sense of humor on the same is equally appreciated. Once again, my good opinion of House Grayson is reinforced.

Looking for someone to teach Orathy penmanship. Should have solid endurance and potentially the ability to dodge inkwells, quills and fists.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

Princess Eleyna is rather magnificent. She has that sharp-edged presence that I've come to expect from Velenosa, but hers is well-honed and ... kind of delightful. I had heard word that she was quick-witted, but I was still pleasantly surprised by how adept she truly is. She'll be one to watch. Perhaps one to fear.

Relationship Note on Anze

Prince Anze - Brother to Princess Freja. Unsurprisingly, he's bright and fearsome like the rest of his siblings. Gods, and they're both so bloody tall. He falls prey to that typical fix-it mentality that many do, instead of just listening and letting things go. But that sibling affection and protectiveness is one that I can appreciate. Especially if one can recognize that perhaps all it takes is a couple punches to feel better sometimes. At least you know his wedding will be good. The Redrain Family certainly know how to make good whiskey flow.

I wasn't sure initially what to expect. The lead-up to the entire thing felt like it belonged on the stages of the Black Rose rather than announced to the populace itself.

Duke Niccolo's reply was quite good though. It had that professional air and practiced decorum where others might've just waved their hand and been annoyed. He slighted no one.

When Talen lost upon that first blood to that excellent cut of Princess Reese, again the announcement only brought honor. The Princess fought well. Kinda glad I didn't bet on that one.

I've never been much for animals, they're useful for certain things but I always felt they should be in nature and not couped up but back home one little bastard won me over. Its an oddly fortunate guess that I was given Gustaf. The fluffy little bastard seems to be making himself right at home in the Malvici estates, I wonder if I can train him to be a sneaky jerk...

Relationship Note on Atrid

Difficult to understand this one. We shall see if his offenses are repeated or not, I remain skeptical. An offense unclaimed or denied as a misunderstanding, often is. More difficult to avoid if you're not certain how it happened, no?

Relationship Note on Valdemar

In a surprising turn of events, my cousin took my side! I don't know who was more shocked, Uncle Harald or I? It was sweet, although, I don't delude myself that it could change at any time. And I narrowly averted a duel, even so, it's nice to have someone willing to defend my honour.

Things change so quickly. Already my purpose is growing in leaps and bounds, my tasks assigned exponentially increasing. And I love it. I can't wait for more!

Somewhat infuriating younger brother. I love him to death, no matter how much I sometimes want to box his ears.

Lord Luis,

I read your last Journal. I apologize that my poem was vague.

It is with a heavy heart and great sorrow that I report the passing of Lady Lili Bisland and Lady Sarielle Bisland.

They perished together in the Gray Forest trying to find their parents.

Princess Reese
