Prince Arthur

Father has told me I'm to stay here until he says so.

I guess I'm lucky, I think he wanted to toss me in the dungeons!

Morgana and I got in a fight yesterday and I sort of...well...I pushed her over and she hurt herself. When Father found out, he was, well I haven't seen him so angry! I thought he might, I don't know, but do something worse then send me to my chambers.

I didn't get any dinner though...

But I got food today, I think it was servant's food though...the bread was stale. But I decided not to complain.

Before Morgana and I got into our fight some other strange things happened...first Morgana came along wearing completely different clothes. I never got a chance to ask her about it when I ran into her again. She almost seemed different too...but I don't know...

Then I ran into a a very strange man. He seemed to know a lot about me, but I've never met him before! He wouldn't tell me who he was though...how weird!

And THEN the strangest thing of all happened! I can't tell anyone because they'd never believe me, but I'll tell you, book. I ran into LEON, but he was older! Much much older! He was even taller than than his father! And he took me training! It was great! Except he told me that none of the knights I'll lead will ever fight me properly. That can't be true, can it? Knights always do their very best.

So if I beat them, it'll be because I really am the best, not because they let me. At least, it better because of that.

I wonder when Father will let me out?

Not that you can help me or talk or anything, but anyway...

So Morgana beat me in the duel (I had to challenge her! She made fun of me and my father! It wasn't a real duel with swords and stuff, but she still beat me! She kind of cheated though, she hit me in the head we were only supposed to be trying to hit our sticks from each others hands!

I guess it was an accident though.

Still I don't think she could beat me again! Now that I know she's good, I'll be better.

But not for a while, because I've still got a bruise.

I met another girl though! This one was much nicer...well at least until I tried to help her out by showing her a rat so she wouldn't be scared of mice. It sort of didn't work because there were live rats too! I hate live rats, they scurry around and try and eat your boots! But I wasn't trying to be mean.

I hope I don't run into her again, that'd be real embarrassing! But her mother works at Sir Leon's house and sometimes I go there. Maybe I'll just pretend I can't see her?

I'll tell you something else book...Morgana's not so bad.

But don't tell her I said so...because, um...girls are icky.

It's not! Morgana took my room!

OK, it wasn't my room yet, but it was gonna be! I was just about to pick it! Now I'm ten I get to move into one of the big chambers like Father has. I've been trying to decide which is the best one and I'd just picked that one and she took it.

I went and complained to Father, but he told me not to bother him with such trivel trivale stuff.

Hmpf! So I'm still up even though bed time was hours ago! I'm hiding here in the library where they can't find me.

I found this book and even though I'm not supposed to touch the books in the library I'm writing in it anyway.

So there!
