I guess I didn't need to worry about being left out in the cold because of Lady Shari. I should have known better than to think Llew would let that happen to me. And it turns out Lady Shari doesn't mind sharing him either. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was so worried about losing Llew that I hadn't taken into account his good taste.

Now that I'm not worried about her, it's a lot easier to admit she has a lot going for her. I mean when she showed up the other day, I thought I was going to poke a hole through my tights - and that was before I knew I was going to be in on the fun too!

More than ever, I want to pledge my heart to Llew. I think Llew would be happy if I did, but a small part is afraid that he might not want to reciprocate. I think it's a lot more likely that it might screw things up with Llew and Lady Shari by making her think I was trying to exclude her. Llew really likes her, so I don't want to risk it.

We have a new noble in court - I think he's the Count's representative. He's of House Liam, as is the Count. Which reminds me...

Llew was really upset to find out that a Lady Lillith was in the Barony. If there are really poison mushrooms in Sir Kellin's cabinet, maybe she got into them - or maybe she planted them there?

Well, I've got to get ready for the squires' pizza party...
