INSTRUMENT OF CORONATION

[Icarnus 1669]

The Lord-Protector sat in his bed, surrounded by his ministers of the realm. The sheets were drenched crimson with his blood, as was the floor beneath. The features of the soldier-protector of the empire, deformed by death, were ghastly and horrible, and more than one livid wound appeared in the face. With the slow rattle of a man gripped by some fever, he slowly spoke his will to his council, his page-boys shakily scrivening his speech all while the bile of death bubbled and seethed at the corners of his mouth;

Instrument of Coronation

 

I, Adrian Leopold of the House de Sarkozy, Lord Protector of the Holy Orenian Empire, Duke and Governor-General of Helena, Duke of Adria, Baron of Renzfeld, do hereby declare my irrevocable determination and will in legitimising as the rightful successor to, and without impediment issuing the coronation of, Antony Sigismund to his rightful seat of the throne of the Holy Orenian Empire.

 

It is with a graven pen that I write this, but hope not that these last words before I succeed from this mortal coil into the seven skys tinge the celebration and jubilee that should rightfully be afforded to the leader of man on his coronation. 

 

With this immediate transferal of power the protectorate-interregnum is dissolved, all rights and titles afforded to myself, and any other Lord Protectors of the crown are returned to the throne once more.

 

God save the Emperor. 

Adrian de Sarkozy.

((Coronation at 5 PM EST in Helena.))

“Oh look, pertinaxi is back.” Said Wilhelm from the seven skies. The old monarch and loyal servant held a detached uncertainty in his eyes, perhaps even a little hope. “That era ended once in horror, and through the devices of power, has today been restored in fear.” He puffed on his joint. “Hrm.”
