I Am Dead

I did win the duel but it came at a very high cost. The king cheated me by having poison on the opposition's sword, which then he hit me with a cheap shot. The cup that I was to drink to killed my mother and then I used it to kill Cladius just before I died. I can now be with my family and my Ophelia in heaven.

Preparations

Laerties wants to have an "offical" duel in the palace soon. I have been told numerous times that he is a better swordsman that I. It doesn't matter, I have vengence and anger on my side. I will beat him in the duel.

The Fight

It was terrible, I had to fight on Ophelia's grave. I felt ashamed, have her brother no respect but to try to fight me where she lay dead. I tried to tell him how I loved her so, but it seemed that he would hear nothing of it. Recently I have been sending mixed signals to everyone, but just wish she could have lived through all of this and be my queen someday.

My Ophelia is Dead

Even though I have continued to push her away and claim that I love her no more, of course I still have some feelings for her. I was even considering getting back together with her after I kill the king. But now she is dead and I can never be with her. She has drowned in the river and is gone.
