A HEART OF GOLD

14th of Owyn’s Flame, 1765

To the Orenian people,

It is no mere coincidence that we celebrate a feat of Orenian popular sovereignty and unity in the golden anniversary from the signing of the Nenzing Proclamation to the soldiers in the battlefield who rose their banners for the Josephite cause in 1715. None could imagine the inspirational character that those who sacrificed their lives then have garnered for us today. Half a century onward, in an unprecedented way, we have demonstrated great change for this Empire. All across our land, the people have casted their ballots to determine the future and the direction of this great Empire. I address all today, not as the Leader of the Josephites, nor as a Member of the House of Commons, but as a citizen with the hopes of strengthening the social contract and the vision of those who sacrificed their lives for the sake of our liberties. 

Today, your voices have been heard and we in the House of Commons shall now fulfill our obligation. I am humbled in achieving this mandate to govern in your name. This campaign has shown an unprecedented turnout in a country energized and ready to take on the challenges before us. I want to extend a hand of camaraderie to those on the other side, namely to Leader Pruvia and his deputies for waging a movement that brought many people to the fore of public discourse. We recognize that not everyone is content and not everyone is satisfied. Now, laying down the fervor of this contest, we now solemnly process to manifest our vision. I pledge that we will work closely on the many matters at hand.

As we inaugurate this House and the many members who will partake in the important debates that will shape our Empire, I want to reiterate that before any loyalty to a faction or otherwise, this is a body sworn to better the welfare and union of our fellow citizens. After having nearly served for thirty years in these halls, I have learned that above all, Oren deserves legislators who will maintain principle, integrity, virtue, and an unwavering commitment to what is right. Anything less is unbecoming of the mandate we have been so graciously endowed.

 

To those who supported this campaign from its inception up until now, I owe you my debt, not as your leader, but as a steward of your prosperity. We have embarked on a campaign that sought to uplift every sector of our country. Energized by your resolve, we obtained a mandate that cannot be put asunder. We now have a sacred duty to maintain our promises and to realize the shared vision of a bright future. To those who did not agree with us, I pledge myself to the campaign you have ran for the benefit of all. Even though the election has concluded, our work still continues to promote the Empire we seek to build.

God save the Emperor! 

 

 

For the dignity of all,

Sir Terrence May GCM, MHC
Chairman of the Josephite Union

Conrad sighs, eyes scanning over the missive but not really reading, “Well, I suppose it shan’t change too much,” he’d shrug as he shuffled his papers and prepared for the trek to Varoche Hall.

Karl furrowed his brows “Sad to see them explicitly recognize there’s many people who are discontent and unsatisfied, and then say immediately afterwards that they will not do anything with that fact... We will work on our vision.. Yeah, not exactly what those discontent and unsatisfied people ask of you.” He sighed, putting the paper down.
