Today was the Council Meeting, during which time a messager arrived with bad news, very bad news. Bandits have been spotted on the borders. They seem to be checking out the lay of the land for the moment, but that's thing about bandits they never stay away for long. I thought the best thing to do would be to send a small portion of the standing army to go and provide protection for the border towns. Apparently though that was too simplistic for the others, Monmouth seemed to be under the impression that going through old records of some war from centuries ago would help. That man is an idiot sometimes.

Eventually, Father decided the patrols would continue, since the bandits might be a diversion tactic and the army should be here at full strength.

Still, at least he considered my idea first.

I didn't have a chance to track down Morgana or Guinevere today. Hopefully tomorrow, because if I don't at least speak to Guinevere I'm going to go insane.

And yes, I should speak with Morgana as well.
