The king sent me on a mission. I am writing about this job because he said it would be dangerous and if something happens. I would want my little boy to know what happened. Event by event.

So today, I start my journey. I have to blend in. Pretend to be the enemy. It says that I have to go to the ball and talk to Mr. Howlster. I must head over there right now. I meet him at the punch stand. "Code grape" I told him. He shook his head and offered me some punch. I drank all of it.

My stomach isn't feeling so good. I think something was in that cup of punch. I've been throwing up. I feel like pass-

I think I passed out. I woke up in this small room. no windows. Where am I. The king stops by. "I hear my dearest 'friend' sent you.. to spy on what we were doing.. Is that correct"? He asked. "No, your highness, I am just a tourist coming from the other kingdom". I replied. I don't know if he knows I lied or if he believes me. But I have to leave as quick as possible. Before my cover is blown. again.

*an hour later*.
I decided to stay and finish my mission. I have to find out what the king is planning.

I go back to Mr. Howlster. I asked him to come with me. I grabbed the closest-sharpest thing by me -it was an x-acto knife- and I stabbed him. I don't play with that death shit but it's either me and him and he made he clear he wanted something to happen to me. I just had luck on my side.

Now this part is for my son. Yes i know you're probably reading this and yes, I killed that man but I'm no different than the person you know. I just had to take a few lives to come home. I hope you understand. And no matter what. i love you.

*hours later*
I went back to my room but I think they noticed Mr. Howlster is 'missing'. I try to blend in by telling people "yeah, I wonder where he went" or "man i hope nothing bad has happened to me". I feel like I'm playing a cat and mouse game and I'm the only mouse. But a mouse who the others think is a cat. If that makes sense to you.

*an hour or so*
I found a way to the kings diner. But it's either i have to be a peasent or I have to act like one of the nobles. Fuck being a peasent. I'll act as a noble and get in for dinner. my plan after that is to talk with the king and get him to like 'me' or in other words.. to him, it'll seem like I'm the perfect friend by his standards.

*a couple more hours past*

The dinner was good and the talk was a success. I got him to tell me about the attack he is planning. on my kingdom! Well, I want to go home and see my boy but like I said.. theres a chance I don't make it.

I have to think about how I'm going to warn them.

The king called me in his office, I'm writing as we speak because i know my time is up. I feel it. Yup he put a gun on the counter. I lov
