For All of You
I have given Eleni access to my journals in order to post this message, but rest assured that the words you read here are mine.
By now, you know where I am and what I've done. You are all entitled to your own thoughts and opinions on the events of the past few weeks, of course, but expect no apologies from me. There are none to be given. I have never claimed to be anything other than what I am and if I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't change a single thing... with the exception of my timing perhaps. Ah, you must admit, it was a perfect plan executed just a little too imperfectly for it to succeed. What? You were expecting some sort of guilt or remorse? You should know by now that you won't get any of that from me. There will be no begging or grovelling for forgiveness. I've paid the price for my sins... and oh, what a punishment it was, hmm? I have no doubt that you know all about that too.
What's done is done. Now, I bide my time in this god awful place... listening as Eleni reads your messages to me by candlelight. The fact that I still have your undying affection despite all of this stirs some long lost emotion from the very darkest depths of my soul and thrills me more than you can ever know.
Don't miss me too much, my darlings. Not even the strongest of chains will not keep me from you for long.
Yours always,
Nicolas de Lenfent
