It seems the weather is already growing cooler. Autumn is closing in, I suppose.

I only now realized I have not officially congratulated His Majesty and Miss Greengrass on their engagement. My apologies. Please allow this to be my public statement and best wishes for them!

Miss Greengrass, I look forward to being fully at your service in court.

I still feel week from the last turning. I think my age is beginning to get the best of me.

I'm not sure how I feel about this news. No. That's a load of rubbish. I'm sure I know exactly how I feel about this news. I can't believe that blithering idiot has gone and done it again!

The poor girl...

I can understand her desire to make herself anonymous. I commend her for it. I just wish he wouldn't put himself in this position in the first place. And I wish his lusts did not entrap so many young women.

He doesn't seem to understand, that the guilt goes both ways. And he feels the burdens less.

I suppose that's what comes with royalty, though.

Sirius, my dear friend...if I could hex common sense into you, I would.

	Of course. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this transition easier for you. I know from experience adjusting to the spotlight of royal life is difficult, to say the least. Especially, when you're young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It isn't the spotlight Sir so much as the partner. I know I should not admit that publicly but as his adviser I am sure you are aware of his ... uneasiness to find a new match. I still keep faith, though. Hopefully one day he will find himself less disappointed with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I am aware. But, I promise it's not you in particular he's uneasy with... You're a beautiful, smart, sweet girl. Perhaps I shouldn't be telling you this...but, His Majesty is more concerned with his own reputation and lack of choice in a permanent partner. I trust you understand it's the situation, not personal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You are too kind.

He does seem to value his own choices. At the same time, he was born into a position of great responsibility. The prince may have limited choices in some arenas. However, in many other situations has his position not granted him choices that his subjects would never have?

I suppose there are pressures only a prince would understand. I remain very cooperative but it is difficult not to take it personally. Everyone must know he dislikes me.

It's a conundrum, is it not? A man who seems to have it all is truly limited where he feels it truly counts. Sometimes, I think, if the prince had been born a common-wizard, he'd complain at his limited options in career...

You're a wise girl. I think, in time, he will grow to understand. And I hope this marriage does not make you too unhappy.

Either way, I will be at your service to help my future queen in any way I can.
