| My second day as Baron of Vesper was equally as quiet as the first. To fight the boredom, I decided to do something constructive and organised a state visit to Cove. I say organised, but really I just turned up unannounced. I took Amarante along with me so she could experience how fun and exciting it is to be a Baron...
Upon our arrival, we found that the Covians had murdered three seemingly innocent people. Their excuse were that they were "brigands". Brigands my arse, but still we were not there to judge. Their fearless leader seemed to be this joke of a man, Hoagie. Funny name, funny face, funny smell.. reminds me of someone. Alas, we went indoors and we spoke of the past conflict between the neighbouring countries. I explained of out problems with Yew and now Skara, and how an unexpected attack from Cove would not do us any good, as poor fighters they are. We agreed on a deal and I will get some paperwork written up for him and I to sign in a few days. Apart from that, I have the rest of the day to go to Swaggers and get smashed with my fellow Vesperians.
Later on in the evening, after a brief nap, I had awoken to the news that my dear friend Jack, had been shot in the back. The causes and goings on are sketchy, but whatever happened, I will sort it. Jacks in a bad state, he can hardly walk and he's in so much pain. The story so far is that Declan shot Jack out of pure anger, as Jack had been sleeping with his girlfriend, Amarante. Jack's not sure he wants to press charges or not, but attempted murder is a very hefty crime to commit. Also to note, Amarante apparently assaulted Thaur, she is to be taken in for questions then stuck into a cell and fined, or released with a public apology. On top of that, Rebecca is busting my balls because of "Traitoring the Veeties" or something. Seriously, I consider each Veetie as family, but as Baron I have to stand tall and punish even those close to me, giving them time to reflect on what they've done and how they shouldn't do it again. EVER again..
