Page Eight:
I am two years older now.
It has taken me a while to write since I have not been feeling so well. It is not that my body is in pain, but rather my mind is.
The assassination attempts against my life has not slowed down. I have gotten so used to being attacked now, it does not even bother me anymore. I always carry a knife around with me and am more prepared when a servant attacks me.
I do not understand why the King has not been trying to keep me safe. If I try to bring it up to him, he ignores me.
I may not be the Holy Empress anymore, but I still cannot bring myself to speak to him or anyone else. Thus, the situation has not really improved much. I heard that I will be having a new guard to protect me since the last one attempted to poison me in my sleep.
I only wonder what kind of person it will be.
