A Letter

Of Abdication

 

 


 

By His Imperial Highness’ own hand it is written:

 

In the Palace of Caesaromagnus

10th of Sigismund’s End, 1691

Signed: Alexander Frederick, Imperial Prince of the Empire of Man, Duke of Alba and Furnestock, Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal.

 


 

Over a decade ago, I first appeared as the Privy Seal to the Emperor. My thoughts were that I may have proved happy in service to the land that I love. Of this object I have never lost sight, though sad experience now teaches me that selfish views are now so prevalent amongst us all, that they have smothered the virtues that we prescribe to our Empire. The strength of this land, the fierce loyalty to the country - which ought to warm the hearts and minds of every citizen living within its borders - has provided us to build the tools with which we may all enjoy the same rights and liberties to our common folk that we feel now. My ascension to Speaker of the Parliament, I had hoped, would allow me to see this task through; which I believe heartily would have rendered our Empire invulnerable.

 

Yet it is my own inclination that this task can never be fulfilled. Despite my undertaking of the arduous task of obtaining the peace, security, and stability we all wish for, it seems that a change of sentiments in our precious Parliament has labelled me unable to ever make the aforementioned so.

 

I must therefore, to end conflict from amongst ourselves, make a final decision as to my standing.

 

A long experience and an attention to recent events which have progulmated within our lands, have prepared me to the thought that I am no longer of utility to this Empire. My hour has now come; and I am therefore resolved to resign from all my titles, ancestral and nominal. To the former, I give all that I have to my name to my son and heir, John Alexander.

 

There are those who exist now that are not unworthy of the kindness that I feel towards them, and that I believe I shall hereafter forever love as my friends and devoted servants. The Empire may depend on me to continue with an arduous attention to serving GOD and living a pious and holy life of the Cloth.

 

May all the wise providence that I have dispatched within this notice and throughout my life direct His Imperial Majesty in assisting and guiding His conduct towards restoring morality within the hearts of Men, and may he strike down every evil that has plagued us. I rest now in comfort that, through the endeavors of the Crown and its successors, our home and land may be kept guarded and safe from the evil and hate that wish to see it slain.

IN NOMINE DEI,

 

Alexander.

Rhys var Ruthern sighs as he read the letter, “A great and honorable man, I fear what will become of Parliament without him.”

Commodus sighs seeing his kinsman depart.

 

“He nay admits it but I think he misses Analiese.”

 

Commodus sends several caskets of lager to Alexander.

Conan Call berg af Morr read the missive with a light sigh. "A good man, I've heard. I wish him the best." He'd murmur to himself, setting it aside.

Emma Ludovar, not one to often show her emotions publicly, sat at her dining table with no company but that of her growing infant. She read the document carefully, taking time to understand what the Imperial Prince was stating. At the end of the letter, the Princess allowed it to fall onto the table as emotion overcame her. It was not the Prince she cried for, but his lost wife and her closest friend. It was the thought of Analiese that compelled her to shed tears, and the comfort that her friend had left a long-lasting impact that Emma hadn’t realized until reading these words on parchment.

 

Emma gazed down at her own little Analiese, letting free a small laugh as the babe reached up at her mother with tiny fingers and a happy face.

Amelia held her nephew in her arms as she sat in the gardens of her Auntie's Manor, the girl silent  as she cradled the child.

Ilya reserves a prayer for Alexander, still remembering with disgust the slaughter of Analiese Barbanov at the hands of Donald Dabber and his accomplices.

Moved to The Great Library. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly.
