The longer I’m in Father’s presence, the more I realize that Kamui was right to leave this conflict with Nohr and Hoshido behind him. Father is different– nothing like the man I once knew. I question if anyone even remembers that man, now.
I’ve struggled with this often throughout the years, and it is only now that I let such treacherous words leave me: is there any point to such a war? Father’s orders have been unsavory in the past, and yet I’d always forced myself to carry them out against my better judgement. It was my belief that he had the good of the kingdom in mind, and it was something that I couldn’t understand until I myself took the throne. Once the war had ended, I assumed he would return to the Father I knew. But now that the war has escalated once again, he only seems to have gotten worse.
Camilla and Elise left us, and now even Leon questions Father’s motives. I’ve seen my own uncertainty reflected in his eyes when we meet to discuss our battle formations, and I must put a stop to it. Kamui spoke of the Bottomless Canyon, and how I should meet him there if I wished to learn the truth of this war. And though I find myself a bit skeptical, I will do whatever I must to end this.
Tomorrow morning, I will inform Leon of my decision, and we will leave for the Bottomless Canyon together. May the Gods forgive me.
