Interesting. In the translation I posted, he does refer to himself in the third person singular. I wonder if the translator deliberately left out the royal we.

Every place where the translator put "I...my..." is rendered "Nostrum....noster, a, um..." in the Latin. For anyone with basic knowledge of Latin, that means "We...Our..."

Also, notice that "Nostrum" is capitalized.
