Today has been a wonderful day for Scotland because we won the war against Sweno and his Norwegian army! I am so proud of Macbeth and Banquo for their courage and bravery. As a soldier reported, Macbeth found out about two traitors, one of which he, “unseam’d him from the nave to the chops.” Now I am feeling irritated. Two traitors? That is way too many and it makes me feel unsafe. I value trust and honesty above all and to be a good King, one must have both. But do I trust too much? How should I know? I told my son today, “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face.” It is very difficult to judge a person and I obviously trusted wrongly. The Thane of Cawdor…”He was a man on whom I built an absolute trust,” and he failed me! I sent him to be executed but I am still not satisfied. How do I avoid this in the future? In any case, Macbeth is honorable and skilled. I trust him without fear because he is my man and I will make him Thane of Cawdor. He alone deserves my trust because he killed our enemy so perfectly. He represents bravery and loyalty. Once I name my son Prince of Cumberland, I will head to Inverness for a pleasant night with Macbeth and his Lady.
