"Lester notes" April 24th.Partly cloudy. Our secret agent from Savannah reports that one rich merchant made an impressive donation in favor of the kingdom to get the honorary title of the count.The official declaration will be signed later this month.Then he will receive the estate near ... Kuilina. Leofrick ... I heard about him.A wandering merchant who sells his product in any of the old fractional camps.For many years, he has accumulated impressive condition and life experience.Such as him, you need eloquence to succeed, and he has this good in abundance.They talk that he does not hesitate to trade even with demons Let the count are just a title, but it is the key to the houses of aristocrats.Being the ruler of Kuilin, I must find out as soon as possible his goals in order to ensure peace and order in the city. May 31.Dense cloudy. The new count appeared just a week ago, and work outside the city walls is already boiling work.Today I will look there as a ruler of the city. "Your Highness, what is owed by such a pleasure?"- From the side door in the dark living room a cane leaned out.She squeezed her deadly pale and thin palm.Then I saw an elegant man in the prime of strength - this was the master of the estate.It seemed that he appeared directly from the thickened shadow, not making a sound, and only his cane tapped the floor gently. Rumors were true.The count was smart and knew how to speak beautifully.He had impeccable manners - even the most refined snobs from the savannah would not have found something to complain about.During our meeting, I tried all the tricks to talk him, but he did not succumb to any of them.All that he spoke about himself coincided with the information obtained by our spy. Leaving, I said: "May the Divine Light arrive with you."Even those who are far from religion, usually favorably perceive these kind and bright words. For a moment it seemed to me that his face was distorted, but the next instant a good -natured smile shone again on him.Perhaps this was the very sign I was waiting for ... August 16th.Raw and cloudy. A little more than 3 months have passed since the appearance of Leofrik, but he already took his place in the highest circles of society.Noble townspeople constantly repeat me about the wisdom of the count and his generosity.Thanks to the eloquence and the full of gold, they accepted it as equal. My suspicions are getting stronger.I do not believe that he is the one for whom he gives himself, especially after two of my best spies have disappeared.In public, we are always polite and benevolent to each other, but in fact there is a war between us.I have not yet revealed its true essence, but gradually the veil of secrets rises. I remember how one day after the banquet the count said: "People have masks all their lives, especially aristocrats."People try to taste the deception in childhood, when they begin to cry loudly, so that they are given their favorite toy.Over time, their masks become only more skillful.What is hidden under your mask, count? August 23rd.Sunny. Count Leofrick suddenly came to me and demanded an audience, promising to prove his sincerity and tell me a secret. He entered the living room, took off his cloak and extended his right hand, covering his face.Suddenly his eyes flashed red, and terrible twisted horns appeared on his forehead.A typical demon. “You seem to be not surprised, a person,” it was clear that Leofrik knew that it would be so.He removed his hand on his face, and it immediately flared up and disappeared."There are such rulers like you, to be incredulous." Of course, my duty as the ruler of Kuilin was to be on his guard with the "strangers."The demon was only one of the hundreds that I examined. “We are both cunning.Maybe we conclude a deal? "- grinned the count. After the counting of the count, I called the guards who had previously ordered to hide in the living room.As I expected, from the moment the count threw off his cloak, they only saw how we talked with him and nothing more. November 25th.Sunny. The secret life of Kuilina calmed down again, and the world returned to the city.Thanks to cooperation with Leofrick, the secrets of the aristocrats, slipping away from my spies, were in my hands.The count became the only troublemaker in Kuilin.Fortunately, he does not look like his relatives and does not seek to destroy everything around and plunge into chaos.As he himself says: “I am only planning to use people as a disguise.In the end, it is easier to get lost among people than among other races. ” Naturally, I do not believe the words of the demon.Surely he conceived something else, but while our interests coincide with him, I am ready to cooperate with him.We do not trust each other, but I am sure that the count is well known.As a fee for his services, he asked me to let him into my library and save the graph title for him.For the sake of Kuilin's calm, I am ready to go to this. This morning we met in an art salon.Faced in the crowd, we greeted each other: "May the Divine Light arrive with you." “Wise and erudite, mysterious and dangerous.TSS!He always appears nearby when you talk about him. ”
