Chapter 7


It came to my knowledge today that I have been betrayed! Upon the arrival of a small man, of whose name I know not, I discovered that certain members of the court have a want for me not to attain such high an honor. Due to certain jealousies these men have contrived a document speaking of the crimes I have committed against the people of Lilliput. My death has been called for, however, I am satisfied to know that some members of the council have want for me to live on in return for the favors I have granted them. Unfortunately their pull with the council was not enough to snuff out the petty crimes I have supposedly committed against the nation. One such incident being when I relieved myself on the royal castle in order to put out the flames and save the lives of those within. Though his imperial majesty excused me from this crime, it has come to the attention of those who are most unhappy with my rise to high rank in Lilliput. Because his majesty does favor me it has thus been decided that I will retain my life permitting that I allow them to take my eyes. Perhaps, had I grown up knowing the workings and corruption of court, I would have taken this punishment for what it is: a seemingly mild punishment. I did not, however, grow up with such understanding and therefor have chosen to fled. I will to Blefuscu as planned and escape from there. As I write this I am hastily requesting leave to Blefuscu from his Imperial Majesty and will off to Blefuscu before I can receive his reply. Wish me luck! SUBSCRIBE <3
