What happened while I was away?
It seems that I was gone longer than I thought. The troubles to the north have kept me away from my duties. Last night I returned to find Lady Saeldith alone - so many have abandoned her it makes me sick! I will not stray far again.
I also take note of the name Hardoleth. My Lady insists he is a friend and means no harm to her, but I do not trust him at all. He and his ragged band of thieves and murderers are corrupting Bree and the freedom it stands for. If he so much as looks at Saeldith inappropriately again, I will cut him open serve him his own innards for supper.
I have sworn to protect and serve Saeldith, but for the first time in years I am confused about what I want. We shared a moment under the stars that I will speak of with no-one. For a while, we were not Lady and servant, but equal. Perhaps things will become more clear soon.
