The Duke of Cathalon strutting his stuff

 

Let it be known to all throughout the realm that His Grace the Duke of Cathalon, Robert Castor Helvets, seeks a maiden of fair skin and temperate character so that he may continue his most esteemed line of succession for the Duchy of Cathalon.

 

Let it furthermore be known that any would-be Lady Cathalon must meet the following requirements;

Is human, has fair skin and temperate character, who was not born in a mud hovel, and does not primarily use a river to bathe in.

 

A description of His Grace.

 

Let it be known conclusively that His Grace the Duke of Cathalon is ludicrously handsome, dashingly intelligent and elegantly clothed: the ideal man for any woman above Suffonian intellect. Only his luxurious bloodline and immense fertility (proven by his eight siblings) prevents the good court of Kaedrin from declaring him the finest bargain in the Empire’s recent history.

 

This opportunity is to take the form of the most luxurious of balls, hosted by the Minister of Interior Mariana Dubois herself. The eligible ladies, along with any debutantes otherwise, shall appear before the Kaedreni court in full and formal dress attire, where they might make their case before the radiant Duke and his court.

 

His Grace’s Ball shall take place in Varoche Palace at [[Friday May 1^st 8PM EST]].

“...His thick ginger locks waved through the wind as the Duke ventured through the palace, his symmetrical expression gazing upon the lady resting on the couch. The Duke of Cathalon approached her slowly, placing his firm and robust hand onto her exposed shoulder as he said in a authoritative tone: “You look beautiful today, m’lady.” The woman looked up to his mesmerizing green eyes, her frail hand now resting onto his strong one: “You’re the only man in Oren that compliments me this regularly, Robert..”

• Excerpt from the memoirs of Katarina Angelika Ekaterina Druzhov Reza Ivana Natalya Barbanov-Alimar

Laurence prepares his finest of robes, wringing his hands for the toughest mission he had yet to face: “He will be married by then, may God be my witness.”

“Truely, my brother has remained innocent for far too long. You would think he would have dirtied his little white nose after years of piracy; apparently not.” States the Count of Rochefort

[Fishy 2709]

The Governor-General frowns at the quotations at least one of his brothers had concocted.

Mariana Dubois wept in joy at the long list of good reviews, hand reaching upwards as to swipe a tear from the bottom of her eye profusely, nose wriggling with sniffles.

Johanna blinked slightly as her sister proposed the idea of having her attend the ball. She'd ponder for a few moments, nodding along to Luciana's words."Si, this might be a good idea," she stated. Her skygod frowned faintly upon noticing this event shall be held at 5 am, her time.
