A MISSIVE TO ODO D’AMAURY

 

Spoiler

 

 

“But my golden fields! My golden fields of wheat!”

 

Revolving prism-like mind tore from the letter afore him and sought solace in a nearby expanse of rolling amber - the golden fields of his family’s history. Steel of his quill plunged thrice in hot, pitch ink - tip set to parchment. Reply was short to arrive thereafter, heralded by steam shed from swift destriers in sweltering summer air.

A letter, closed and clad with d’Amaury heraldry - penned by the thoughtful hand of one young King Hughes.

 

My beloved cousin and compatriot,

 

Pray, forgive the brash manner of entrance into mine own hall; history has dictated that in matters such as this men are not unlikely to find themselves in a den of jackals upon their return - hot, eager tongues yearning to be slaked by blood wrought out of pitiless ambition. Wrong was I, indeed, in this illation. Quite on the contrary, you have proven yourself possessive of naught but pure intent - why, what a kinsman is this, whom in times of tumult pursues benevolence in the face of stark adversity!

 

I seek not to set the beating heart of this realm afire, nay, for such is the gravest crime a righteous man aneath the Creator’s Seven may commit. We as proud sons of man are charged by God-given providence to uphold the antiquity of our fatherland and to - within the utmost capacity of our mortal being - foster its futurity.

 

Thus it is that I shall so tirelessly seek solidarity in this noble hegemony, both in rapture and repose. Await my arrival to Ostwick; for, whatever the weather, I would let darting wind be slow to my hasting. Glory to humanity and glory to this God-given Kingdom.

 

Signed,

HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Hughes I Pierre d’Amaury, King of Lotharingia, Prince of Savoy and Metz, Archduke of Lorraine, Margrave of Kaedrin, Count of Amaury, Lord of the Goldfields, Defender of the Heartlanders and Warden of the South

Clement II nods, noting the young King's rise, "The Canonist faithful remain at peace."

Jovarn sends his blessings to the young King.

[Rammer 388]

Ian sitting in his home reads about the ascension of the young king "I do hope he fares better than the previous sons of John." He mutters, his jaw shifting around as he begins to pen a letter to Hughes wishing him the best.

so if you have any common sense, you can see that Hughes is the king because it says he is in his titles. pretty cool, ik... now for you to call anyone unambitious is just stupid. you sit in your castle and jerk off 24/7, if you did anything for lorraine in the past 3-4 months before being booted, please note, i wish to know. yeah im pretty nice and stick up for my friends, ; ) np@Solaries
