Sir,

 

My son and first born had deigned to tell me this morn last of the pomp and intemperate remarks you so laid down upon him his last visit to our dear capital. And as I sit here upon my chair staring out upon this valley of my birth I can only think upon the most unnecessary nature. With these impressions, I was greatly disappointed; that a man who claimed to represent this province for so many years would be so quick to decry and demean his own past comrades. A good man would take no offence, give polite warning and incur no ill-will for the passion of youth. No quite the opposite of your own actions, a better man instead congratulates those who rise, as I myself thought so very well prior when I had heard tell from my happy retirement that many of your kin had found new tidings in the capital. even if to take them would be to alienate others, as it seems goodly Oisin, Count of Halstaig was the only one of your household who answered summons when our kindly Province called fresh elections. Even I rushed from my retirement to finally give the goodly Monarchy a place to rest. But I did not hold any ill will. That has changed. Though I should frankly expect nothing less from a man who goes door to door hording the all the sugar that his neighbors dare offer him.

 

No, I say openly, and with clarity of thought: If any violence is begotten upon my son, a member of the Commons I will come for you sir; better yet if this office that has provided to glutton you enough on the delusions with which you could make such a grave threat perhaps you might even meet me within my home yourself to beg penance for being such a petulant old fool. In either case, any further disrespect shown to my children will be met with further challenge. Focus that disgusting mud-eating maw you call your mouth upon a man your age. For I’ll bet any number of my own marks when the odds are the life of a loving father against the miserable existence of a filthy rat.

 

If you have any shred of honour you will publicly retract your statement of ill intent toward my son and heir Adrian Otho Helvets like any man of true faith must surely do. This is my request to avert disaster, if you are so willing to attempt to cane a young man in his youth far too passionate for his own good. Only an ignorant and jealous cockroach would threaten those folk who become for us the future of the Empire; a coward in essence, unfit of the station and opportunity I once saw fit to invest. If this too flusters your womanly inclinations; name a time and location. For I am the only man with the right to cane my boy.

 

Your Ob St

R.V. Helvets

"Very based papa." Adrian would pleasantly smile, pouring lemon over Richard's extravagant chicken filet in gratitude.

“This behavior is completely unacceptable, what has the House of Commons become while I was gone?” Lajos would say.

“Wow,” nods William, agreeing with his father’s statement – even if he had no clue what it actually said.

"And the bat bites back!" grinned Guy de Soissons upon learning of the bickering of the Houses
