The king's most loyal servant  now sits in the castle dungeon. I convinced the king that he must be placed there for the greater good of  Lord del Toro's plan. Even better still, the Pox of Purpose already seem to be taking effect. The king has quarantined himself, disallowing anyone an audience with him, and reports of "strange" deaths are pouring in from all over the city. Hmph. Strange indeed. Though, I am confused by one aspect of these reports. And I quote: "While it was witnesses claim that the deceased's death was agonizingly painful, there is little evidence to suggest that there was ever a sickness of any kind, not even excessive mucus or bloodshot eyes."

The Pox are most certainly supposed to leave the victims body viciously mangled. Somepony  has been tampering with my work, and I know exactly who. Unfortunately, while I would love to call him out on it, Bubo's tampering does not seem to have affected the Pox's potency. So I suppose I'll just have to reprimand him twice as much for his next transgression. Dear Gaia, that colt is frustrating.
