A Rebuttal - Véres Draskovits

[Chorale__ 2147]

[!] An aging Véres Draskovits stepped upon his self-constructed box for the third time, locking eyes with the Citizens around the Square of Cyrilsburg, and motioning them over to hear his speech.

 

"Hello."

 He simply started off, then going on to clear his throat,

 "I find it detrimental to my Campaign that there are such suggestions that nothing has been done within my time as the officeholder of Deputy Mayor of Cyrilsburg. Now, while my absence has been suggested, I've done, much like other administrative influencers, behind the scenes work that cannot be viewed by the common citizenry. For example, I can speak on this without revealing much, but I've actively helped in the drafting of the Cyrilic Codex with His Excellency, The Chancellor of Curon, Ser Sylvester of the House Halcourt. I've introduced fifty individuals to the ranks of Cyrilsburg, I've interviewed and brought to hire three Stewards to the Municipal Government, if not more, within my time as the man-in-office of Deputy Mayor. Working alongside The Mayor of Curon, Sylvester III of House Halcourt, we've accomplished many things whether it be little things such as pasting signs upon the market stalls for proper documentation of them or selling a single house. It's pity that our work has gone unnoticed. I serve the people of Curon, and I'm fully open to criticism, so if you have anything you would like to see done that you dictate unfinished, do not hesitate to send me a bird or something of that capacity. Keep in mind that I still have a few days or so until the new heads of the Municipal Government will be chosen, and can do whatever it is that's asked of me from the Citizenry within boundaries."

 

Véres halted, holding up his right hand.

 

"I"m not finished yet, allow me to criticize my fellow candidates. First, I will begin with Stephanos. Ahh, Stephanos. The Fallen Noble. If we cannot deem it wise for him to uphold his own Noble House, nor his titles, how can we deem it wise for him to uphold the City of Cyrilsburg? We cannot. That is the simple answer. I have nothing against Matthew de Cantwell. In fact, I would vote for him should I not be in the running."

 

He took just a brief moment to take a drink of water from a tankard that was handed up to him from one of his supporters. 

 

"Thomas de Hartcold. The Fraudulent King. I have nothing generous to say about this man. His wife, on the other hand, is a liberal woman, I must say. He trots around and brags he has more men in his ranks than Curon. Not only a fraud but a liar. If he were elected as Mayor of Cyrilsburg, it would not prosper. It would fall to a stalemate. He would do no good for our good City or her people. He threw a fit when it was announced that his false 'Kingdom' would be demoted to that of a Barony, which my judgment does not merit."

 

Véres rolled his shoulders as another of his supporters asked his opinion on the new candidates of the Rubens lineage.

 

"I have no opinion. as I've never met these individuals. Perhaps a thought or two will form in the near future."

 

He quirked a brow as a document was handed to him, of the Rubens announcing their campaign. After reading over it he announced.

 

"We're much alike, running against The Fallen Noble, and Fraudulent King. I will note, however, that the Holy Mother made it apparent of her support for me last election, and quickly turned to the winning side. I hold no grudge, but I am a bit pungent at the fact. I conclude today with wishing the Rubens good luck on their Campaign."

 

The man stepped down finally, smiling at the citizens before him

 

"Vote Véres, For Cyrilsburg will Prosper."

Thomas de Hartcold wonders when he ever said that he has more men than curon. "I just said i have more guards guarding, that doesn't mean i have more in general"
