Aetosion 2062 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The Lord Chancellor sends a messenger boy to deliver news to the Duke Vekon, "My dear friend Vectis, I apologize, but this appointment cannot be recognized by the Kingdom, nor by the Archduchy. For one, you don't have to authority to issue edicts. Furthermore, to ennoble a family, you need a writ from the King. To seat a man in a title, you need a writ from the King. To create or remove vassals within my Archduchy, you need a writ from both the King and myself. The Archduchy of Herendul only granted the land of Northal to your family to hold in trust, not in blood. All decisions of this sort must first be approved by myself and, in the interest of courtesy, by the King. That aside, it is preposterous to create a common serving-man as a Count of a land barely large enough for a Barony. This will not be approved. If you wish this man to be your noble vassal, he must first petition to the crown for nobility. If this is approved due to the strength of his levies and his virtue, you can petition to the Crown and to myself for him to be titled. As for the present, no. This decision is official. You may appeal it at a later date. - Lord Regent, Lord Chancellor, Archduke Edward Winter II 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazker 307 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Vectis returns the messenger boy with his own news, "My old friend Edward, I never meant to offend Your Grace. I was led to believe, from whom I believe was His Majesty himself, that any lord over the rank of Baron was free to decide who he could or could not appoint as his vassals. Seeing my error, Mister Forren will not be taking this rank. I had also been led to believe you had bestowed Northal to my blood, though I suppose I was in error here as well. My memory seems to be slipping these days. In truth, Brandon is the most capable man I have ever met. Certainly more capable than I. I confess, Your Grace, I have found myself ill suited for this office you have bestowed upon me. Finding trouble organizing my levies and taking so long for my Castle to have finished was quite harmful to the prestige of my House, which I never meant to dishonor. It is for this reason that I have dwelt in thought of resigning from my post as Duke. After some thought, I have found I yearn for a simpler life. I have raised funds from my land and can provide better than ever for my family and my newborns' future education. I have been to Abresi and enlisted in their guard-force, feeling much more at home at the side of their Captain, the King's bastard, than in my cold, quiet castle. Once the Oren tournament is finished, I request Your Grace demote me from the peerage entirely, so I may live an ignoble life in peace to the end of my days." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
