I have been out of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear for some time now. I truly hope everything is okay without me, though I do not think there should be any cause to worry. After all, Father is still home. He has managed for years without my help, and this isn't the first trip I've taken, either.
I suppose I shall wait until Prince Maguri's ball to meet him, his brother, and Prince Fakir; and I still have heard no word of Yoshitaka. It is just as Maora said. Father, however, still wishes me to search out princes, though it feels immensely strange to just show up at a random castle and see what happens.
However! I have managed to renew friendships with several neighbouring kingdoms, and secure trading contracts with others! E-even if this is not exactly what Father sent me out for...
I believe I shall head south, and visit the sea before returning. If I purchase a horse instead of taking carriages everywhere, and shorten my stays in the towns, I believe I can make it back to help with the last of the harvest, and perhaps stay home for a time. Surely, Father would not wish me to travel too far during the winter months without making proper arrangements!

And yet, I wish to keep searching. I have been staying longer in the wild, as if he would appear before me.
When the winter snows begin to melt, it will be my 18th birthday. I will be an adult in my own right. What, then, will I do? I will have to choose, and soon. I am Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. I cannot remain a child forever.
