The next morning, I was up early. I was hoping to see the count today and take off. After breakfast, I got my daily report from Benjamin.
"So we have found suppliers for most of the goods we need, but prices are rising. It is harder to negotiate with merchants. I don't know what gave our position away as urgent. Maybe it was the quantity we were buying or our time frame. It might even be that they heard you were making a lot of money, so they are trying to squeeze as much as they can ou...

If I had not been sitting in the presence of the count, I might have lost my composure like I did when I found out the king was making me baron. Why is it that most of the letters I received were bad news? It almost made me miss the junk mail I used to receive, stating that a Nigerian prince was willing to give me fifty thousand dollars if I only sent him my social security number and bank account information.

The next morning, after breakfast, I decided to write a letter to Fredrick asking to meet with him. I kept it vague. I was hoping to catch his attention by the fact that I was not giving him details of the subject I would be discussing.

The night before was awesome, mainly because those kids loved to throw down money. In the previous functions, I had been with adults who, although still prideful, knew what they could get away with in terms of payment. The kids, however, netted me one hundred gold in one night. Most of it was in the form of IOUs, but the money should come in today.

The days became routine. I would spend my days painting and my evenings writing or attending functions where I was introduced to more people. The house became popular as the news of my artwork spread. There was usually a crowd of people at the manor waiting to be let in by fourth bell in the morning, and then they would form a line and walk through the manor as if attending an art exhibit. It was very popular for the young men to bring dates to.
The fact that I drew sketches as fu...
