I, Petier D'Alambord, have today at the age of Five cycles started Charm School at Mademoiselle Maillot's Academy of Etiquette in Boreau. It is my fathers wish that I one day take over his position in office over our home, he says it is of the utmost importance that I am trained to be a true gentleman, because unlike most Stone Labyrinth outposts, Boreau is an Aristocratic and Cultured place, as well as a military town. It is my hopes that my completion of the full three year course will have me to my fathers standards in behavior, and I will be able to make him proud. it will be weird to not be with my family, but the other students here are mostly the children of Aristocrats from Bordeau... all except for a crude Fenki by the name of Alorethea. She has the manners of a bore, when I greeted her today for the first time, she spat on my brand new school coat the said my mother was a gobble... I wanted to hit her... but I will never hit a woman... Father taught me better then that.

That fenki is the the illegitimate daughter of dakkru!!! Today in class I was writing down some notes when class finished... as she walked past me, she knocked my books and ink to the floor, my book on Nolthrir Languages is soaked in ink to the point that it is no good anymore!! I also learned she hs a brother named Lokormek, I cannot even use words against her now because he threatens to hit me. I wrote to father today he said that it sounded as if she liked me... I don't think she likes me... I think she hates me... I have to go to General Table behaviour 101 now... I don't want to because I have to sit right next to her... but I will.

It's been nearly a month and I'm settled in well, I'm enjoying it so much! I have made friends with a Dermorian named Elijah, He's been studying politics and apparently wants to become a Vigesimi one day... It is my hope that he will! I bumped into Alorethea today, it's been about three weeks, I haven't seen her since she announced that I had the strength of a Kikiri to the entire academy over dinner, I told her to leave me alone and she said not until I kiss her boot... I lost my temper and called her a rancid Ulbernaut dropping... she struck me... she kicked me in the face, bruising my eye and cheek. I'm ashamed to say I lost my temper and hit her, she looked at me for a second and then walked away, two hours later her brother came up to me and told me he would kill me for making his sister cry. When Mademoiselle Maillot found out what's happening she demanded we settle the score like gentlemen... in a duel, I must fight him tomorrow at four... I do not know if I'll win, I have never used a sword and he's been learning to fight since he was two... I must write a letter to father and ask it sent in my absence...

He's dead... I held the sword out in fear and he mustn't have seen it move, he ran straight onto it... please Laanx, forgive me...
I will never forget Alorethea's face as the blade drove into him...

It's been just over a week and I have been unable to find Alorethea, I wish I could show her how sorry I am. I see why father disagrees with dueling to deal with matters of
honor. Elijah says I shouldn't feel bad as it wasn't my fault, most of our class witnessed the duel and saw it was all legitimate... still I feel somewhat guilty, I wrote father about it the day after the duel, Yesterday he stormed into the school Outraged that I was involved in a duel. When I find Alorethea i'll have to tell her how sorry I am.
