Well, things certainly have progressed here in Lydius on many levels. The tournament attendance is low but will continue its itinerary for those that have registered. We've had some guest pass requests. Some guests have left, some remain. Sakari Justice has left, she needed to attend business in Ar and since I have decided to court Callie once again, my pursuit of Sakari has ended. I need a woman that is here with me, a woman that cares and feels about Lydius the way I do, honorable and charitable...I dont see that in the woman Sakari. Perhaps its because she needs to work on issues she has, I dunno. I just see what I see and I see that Callie has since the day we met, stood by Lydius, has honored me with respect both publicly and privately even when she was with another, her heart was always mine. I never let her go, always searching for the same characteristics in other women that Callie has always had. Foolish, I know that now. So I intend on making that right
My ember girl...a slave that has stood by her Jarl through many transitions. Just as honorable as the Free Woman who holds my heart. She has learned much about me, I think she knows me like the back of her hand, she has studied and knows that I love to eat, she wins me over everytime she sends a meal, a snack or a basket of goodies to my study, in the baths she prepares for me and the firm kneading of muscles when I ache. And aye, even ehns of fierce rape that finds her breathless and spent in my furs when I have rough and frustrating days. She has been here for me through it all, watched other slaves try to win my attentions, watched other FW vie for my affections.....my slave girl has loved me for almost 25 en'var...that's a long time of great service. Sounds like I need to hit the marketplace for a trinket.
I have not seen my brother Van, I hope him and Sin are ok though it wouldnt surprise me if they are preparing for another set of kids, oy, Odin bless them and as for Tarn, he still makes me furrow my brow, seems his lust for blood has only deepened and it completely goes against all Trenton has taught us. I understand the draw of the sword a Warrior's thrill, but there are times and places for everything and I remember distinctly Trenton instructing me to control my wild need to fight and run with that thrill...if anyone I should know, he was constantly reining me in like an out of control Kaiila. I still think Cara and Tarn push my buttons to see my reaction and to possibly regret my actions but I will not oblige them.
I am not sure either of Afsana, she never is seen publicly, always in her shop, dont even know how she is thriving in the marketplace, obviously somewhat decently for she hasnt complained or closed down. Perhaps I should pay a visit to her and see for myself how things are going.
Lucien and his entourage have left Lydius to travel north. He teased me about leaving his mate who as he said it dug her fingers into his arm with a jealous grip, was quite amusing! We have our first alliance redone with Cos and he enjoyed his stay in Lydius to return for the tournament Im assured. Callie was strong tho I could tell she wanted to burst into tears at the sight of her friends leaving, she really enjoyed their stay and I have agreed to take her to Cos for a visit, me myself never having been there, Lucien said they had accommodations for us when we do go after the tourney....a much needed trip I would think away from all this stress. Next on the alliance agenda is Schendi, I will be scrolling Lukas to see if he will be attending the tourney and if so, we can discuss matters of reaffirming our alliance between our cities.
On a more personal matter....seems my daughters are testing their boundaries and their father has set them. Breanna, as Callie has brought to my attention, has been testing the patience of her guards. Shortly after this revelation by Callie, her guards did approach me with what has been happening and well, seems she has been trying to sneak about Lydius without them. Our talk went smoothly and she now has 2 more guards who will keep her from running off. Breanna growing into a most proper woman of Gor is very different from the rebellious Korlee, who unfortunately I have to admit is very much like her father...brazen and bold tho she holds her tongue with me, she knows best. After her disowning her mother, which she knew infuriated me, I had her cuffed to her brothers chambers and Caden will see to her punishment. I did not ask him and he assured me that he would not be lenient. Korlee has been seen entering the arena to watch the spars. I as her father, do not wish her being there without me or her brother's present, she is only 16, much too young to be alone in such a place and she has defied me, her guards, her brothers and now her mother....enough, she remains chained as I write this and she has yet to say a word to me, which infuriates me more but Caden, I know will take care of this and I do expect a formal and proper apology to both me and Callie. So it may take a few days but I have faith in Caden's abilities.
Well, my journal, I will end this here...
