Today was crazy! The tiger got out, the subject got eaten, 200 guards got killed, 300 guards got injured. Then the King, from one of our Latin neighbors, visited and insisted a dinner. During dinner Amy the maid spilled water all over the Latin King. The King was furious and left.
I am a little sad though because the subject died, but I'd rather him die than be with another woman.
During the trial everyone was silent. there eyes were fixed on him. I'm just happy that Father didn't see me hint him. If he did I would probably be the next subject.
