Day 14 of being the substitute prince I think I might be going crazy. I’m not sure if it’s something hereditary, but I shall surely write to my sister so I can find out. I’ve been seeing a woman—a quite beautiful woman and no one else knows of her existence but me. She appears at times when I’m alone, and I know it is impossible for me to imagine her, but how else could I describe it? The only person to prove my sanity is Joshua, as he is the only one who I have shown, but he claims that he did not see her. I’ve been rather worried, and two days of questioning my mental state haven’t been doing much good either. I try to stay away from the princess. She questions my actions, but it is only because I do not wish for her to discover what I’ve recently discovered, as well
