Journal Entry #5618
Talesa Vinata had to be eliminated. At first, I thought Talesa was lovely. We became acquainted. I spent some secret time with her last year. We dated for quite some time, unbeknownst to anyone. She even made me wonder if I might marry her. Especially since she was beautiful. I was quite in love with her.
But after a time, I began to feel uneasy in her presence. She began cancelling our dates. She had to be plotting just like others in the higher classes…but, I digress.
And now, the woman’s daughter, Ember, has caught my interest. There is something about her that’s different. It’s not just her beauty, so much more vibrant than her mother’s. Perhaps she is poison as well. Or, could she be valuable? I’ll be looking deeper.
