 Duke is smart, including Alicia. I don't think they will stay in this country forever. I have a feeling that the Duke will abandon his country someday, even if he is a prince.

 ...... I guess we think the king is incompetent because we are good in our own way. There are many kings in the world, ruthless kings, crazy kings, merciful kings. I have never met one, but from what I have read in books, it seems so.

 But I still can't forgive him for locking us up in his poor village. I understand that it is inevitable to keep dangerous people locked up, but I still think it is wrong to do it that way.

 I don't like being treated like a child. I don't like to be treated like a child, but it doesn't make me uncomfortable at all to have him pat me on the head. In fact, it warms my heart.
