''Today is the second day that the pirate spy has been in the Rowdy Rooster. I don't know what his intentions are, but I mean to find out. All he's told me is his name is Erin Amorous.''

''I am not recieving much positive feedback for banishing Francis Bluehawk to Prussia for his actions. His soldiers have tried to attack multiple times, but failed. It is said the "New Francis" is my mate Robert Mcroberts. It seems Viceroyalty Co. is the new Francis Brigade too. Just as well, we've got the only corresponding ranks. ''

''My wounds from my recent battle are healing well. Though that dagger seems to have left a scar, it could have been worse. I could look like that madman Scarface, he's an EITC lord. If you ask me, he should be locked up in the insane asylum at the edge of London. Though I've got a few scratches, and my battle coat was ruined, the doctor said I'm going to heal. Though, with Grogan and Le Cerdo checking me out, I'm not to sure.''

My son has become the Consul of the Royale Alliance, so I've got no clue what tidings that holds.

''The leader of the Royal Navy, Captain Ryan, reports that my soldier Captain Wentworth Rothwell is commanding his forces well. Although, I'm not to sure. I've heard the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow is looking for spies in the Royal Navy while we recruit'' (Quest: Royal Navy Hiring).

''I know the Caribbean is in a fragile place right now, with Captain Leon returning. Apparently, he now works for the queen of France and runs the Northern Trading Company. I don't buy it, as long as he's in the guild Black Council. Thankfully, we've got him watched.''

''The EITC is prospering under my uncle, Samuel Redbeard's, rule. Since Beckett is in England currently, he's appointed Samuel the Lord Marshal.''

I'm going to continue my entries soon, but for now, I must retire.
