Sanuki no Suke's Diary (1)

 

It was June 20th.  The Emperor seemed to be in a state of unwellness, often lying down.  He would say, "So, this is what people call illness.  Why don't you all even take notice?" and resented his harem for being unconcerned.  However, I now regret things beyond my control, such as not having offered prayers sooner, before his condition worsened, or not having pushed for the abdication of the throne, which ultimately came to pass.
