A/N - I want to thank everyone for reading along and commenting :3 I'm glad most of you got the jist that I was writing for entertainment, especially since I had to take some liberties with poor Pelleas' inner personality. It's been super fun to write, so I hope it was fun to read too :D

Day Eighty of the Reign of Pelleas Rajaion Daein, 14th King of Daein

Dear Journal,

This is it, my last entry. Why is it my last entry? Because I'm going to die by Goddess-smite? Nope, already beat her; well, Ike did, but I helped, so I'm taking some credit. Is this my last entry because I'm running out of journal pages? Nope, again, because I write really small and you're pretty big, journal. Is this my last entry because I'm planning on committing suicide? No, I'm actually pretty enthused about this idea.

This is my last entry because I'm surrendering my claim to the throne, and therefore this can't be related to the Reign of Pelleas Rajaion Daein. I'm actually relieved that I'm done with Kingship, especially since the only reason I was chosen for ruling in the first place has since been debunked. I told Mother that I'm not her son, and pointed her in the right direction, so it's up to her if she drags Soren to Daein by his ears or not (although if she doesn't abandon me, I'll still call her Mother – she's clearly very needy for a son, and I have no mother, so we go together even if not biologically). If she doesn't force Soren into the Kingship, I told Micaiah she can take it, as the people love her more than me. Heck, I love her more than me.

Oh, I also told her that – the "I love you" part, not the "I love you more than I love myself" part, because that sounds a little awkward. She blushed terribly. But, she didn't say "Go away you incredible loser" or "EEEEK" or anything like that, so maybe, just maybe, there's a chance for us? I'm not giving up! I've learned quite well that if I give up, I'll end up stabbed in the chest and dead for no reason, so I will never ever give up! Also, Sothe might be least temporarily out of the picture, as he's considering moving to Begnion. Wow, you know, if he gets married to Sanaki he'll be the Emperor, good for - ohhhh that's why he wanted to date her. And he was thinking that if Micaiah dated me, she'd be Queen of Daein. That's sneaky, Sothe. Little did he know that she'd become Queen even without me! Hey, if we get married some day, does that mean I'll become King of Daein again? That'd be crazy. Mother would be happy though. And I could restart my kingly diary!

You know, in retrospect, for being a false king found on the streets, I didn't do too terribly. Sure, I signed a contract that could have destroyed my entire nation, but in the end no one died from it. No one rebelled against me – unless you include Izuka, and by extension the entire Begnion Empire – and our casualties in the war no one wanted to join were minimal. Essentially, I had eighty days of mediocrity. Man, that sounds really bad. So instead, let's rephrase it, as I had eighty days of… uh… "The Reign of Pelleas Rajaion Daein was characterized by eighty days of not everyone dying." That sounds a bit better.

Okay, Dia – Journal, I'm exhausted, it's been a long day, and so I'm going to finish this journal as I began it: being nagged to go to sleep.

Oh, and I'm keeping my new full name, I don't care what anyone says.

Sincerely yours,

-Pelleas Rajaion Daein
