The letter from my father was disappointing. It did not contain the kind of advice I desired. I should have known that my father's primary concern would be my own happiness and wellbeing.
However, in the letter, my father reminded me that the Oswald Kingdom now belongs to King Titus. That was a much-needed dose of perspective. King Titus is already responsible for the Oswald Kingdom and its people, and he has demonstrated great care for the Kingdom's people. He reduced taxes and cured the sick.
My excessive urgency in attempting to gain King Titus' trust reveals my lack of trust in him. It was not what I hoped to hear, but my father is right. There is no need to act in haste. For now, I will take a break to collect myself.
I left my room to take a walk and think about what I would like to do. I am unaccustomed to thinking of my own desires. As a princess, my thoughts often return to what I can do for my kingdom. What can I do for myself today?
