"I remember incidents from the age of four. I would keep a note of every day because I did not want to forget the wrong things that happened to us. Initially, I wrote only some points in my diary, but as time passed and fear surrounded me, I would note down every single day in detail. I still possess all those diaries where I noted the six years of atrocities done by my uncle on my parents."
Damien told Édouard he kept those diaries in a safer place, which was not in the palace.
"Did those diaries not burn that day in the deadly fire?" Édouard asked him.
"No. I never kept them in the house. Instead, at a place which was outside my house. I was not allowed to go beyond hundred meters. I made a small tree house which was in the backside of the house, where I used to sit in the evening for an hour to write about how my day was spent," Damien explained to him.
