A Step Forward for Cyrilsburg

[sophiaa 778]

 

William and Leila stand together in the town square each with words well prepared and memorized. The siblings are dressed in elegant attire and hold excellent posture, warm smiles fixed across their faces. Leila steps up onto a small crate William places down for her, chin raising some before she begins to speak.

 

“Dearest citizens of Cyrilsburg, my brother and I stand before you today to unfold my plans for the upcoming mayoral election, should you all decide my brother and I worthy to be elected as your mayor and deputy mayor!

It has come to our attention that, while glorious, our fine city still has plenty of room for improvement, and we want to work hard, with you and for you, in order to implement the right systems and solutions to help strengthen our beautiful city.

We shall work on improving the city, both by increasing its splendor by means of decoration, and by providing the possibility of acquiring grander housing to those citizens who, due to their hard and diligent work, have gained themselves the currency to afford it.

We believe that the taxation has grown ridiculous, and are opting to cut this taxation in half, even if that means that we must pay for such expenses. Those wanting to settle in our fair city, especially those displaced due to the war should never be obstructed by the inability to pay for our housing.

We must streamline our government services, starting with the military. A strong military is the backbone of any healthy nation, and those who cannot protect themselves cannot thrive. We will opt for better commanding officers, and better recruiting procedures, in addition to more frequent training to keep our military in top shape and our citizens, your families and friends safer than ever before. And after that, we must fix our current stewarding issues. It seems they are never available when needed, and in order to straighten that out, we shall hold meetings whenever possible to discuss their work and their ideas of improvements which need to be made to the housing situation in our dear Cyrilsburg, though they already should have been doing so.

In the event that my brother and I are elected to office, I can assure that life in Cyrilsburg will be prosperous and bountiful with spectacular events; tourneys, balls, and carnivals!

 

I do appreciate your patience and willingness to listen, and I pray you will make the right decision to vote for the both of us, in order to rebuild our Cyrilsburg, and keep it strong. Thank you!”

 

Leila hops down and steps to the side, allowing for her brother to take the spot on the crate. William then begins a speech of his own, wearing a grin.

 

“Please, dearest citizens, think long and hard about the words my sister has spoken. We come before you with the promise of a better Cyrilsburg; a promise that we all know the other candidates cannot uphold.

We run against Stephanos and Thomas Hartcold. Stephanos is a man who cares naught for tradition and has married outside of the church, bribing a false priest to do so. By his wives own confession he is a man with no compassion. How can we rely on a man who is apathetic towards others to care for our populace, especially in this time of need?

His deputy too, one of the Hartcolds, are known well for his sin and debauchery, and an inability to stabilize his own barony nor his own marriage. Would we really entrust the progression of our beautiful city to a man who cannot run his own? Thomas de Hartcold can barely keep his wife and his bastard daughter in check, we should not be foolish enough to let him try to keep us in check too. He is an ambitious man I will give him that, however, his ambition is meaningless and crumbles quickly, as demonstrated by the swift rate that his ‘Kingdom’ collapsed.

 

Now for Veres Draskovits. He has been our deputy mayor for several years now, the progression of Curon ever stagnant in his wake. Draskovits now aspires to become the mayor and not merely a deputy. A foolish notion. He will implement nothing but slow and pointless change, and drag the citizens of Curon through another stale term. What achievements has Veres under his belt to prove that he is better than his predecessors? None.

 

It is time that the good people of Cyrilsburg are cared for by competent leaders. It is time that you, the good people of Cyrilsburg, cast your vote in favor of my sister and I. With us we bring a time of prosperity. With us, we bring a brighter future for the city of Cyrilsburg.

 

Again, we thank you for your patience and for listening to what we had to say. Take care beautiful people of

Cyrilsburg!”

"Finally, some real competition" Steph smiles

After the speech William happily mingled with the citizenry of Cyrilsburg and engaged in conversation at the town square!

Thomas de Hartcold would chuckle as he heard the speech "My barony is currently stable and happy ever since we achieved a great victory against an undead horde and against some pirates WITHOUT Curon's help"
