Edict of Renzfeld, 1815

[KosherZombie 1772]

EDICT OF RENZFELD

 

 

12th of Godfrey's Triumph, 1815

 

An edict privileging the issue of HIH The Count of Renzfeld as imperial princes.

 

To Our Beloved Subjects,

 

We have ascended to this imperial office unmarried and intend to remain so, having proclaimed that if He is willing and We are able, Our celibacy will be consecrated unto God. Thus We expect that His Imperial Highness The Duke of Crestfall shall remain Our heir presumptive, and accordingly, his eldest son His Imperial Highness The Count of Renzfeld is second in the line of succession to Our throne. Respecting this, We privilege his legitimate issue to be entitled as imperial princes, as if they were Our own grandchildren.

 

Delivered at Augustine.

12th of Godfrey's Triumph, 1815

Princess Charlotte Augusta looked upon the edict keenly, eager to begin her new partnership with the Countess of Renzfield in pursuit of a greater-palace court.

"Well, that was to be presumed, although it is odd His Imperial Majesty would seek no marriage. Perhaps he finds it distracting from his duties..." Ailred muses.

Anne Caroline smiles ever so briefly in turn before falling back asleep.

Ser Gustaven von Halsfield arches a brow while reading the missive, eventually letting out a chuckle after finishing, "Purposefully remaining unwed? Who would've guessed that the Emperor bats for the home team! Something tells me that he dabbles in feminine literature, too! No worries, we live in a progressive society, this is something I can handle, I'm glad to hear that the Emperor is comfortable with his self enough to declare his orientation openly!"

The Governess beams with pride over the missive. "Amadea and Philip deserve nothing less." With that she move to his Imperial Majesty, offering a grin. 

 

"I am sure this will cause quite the talk. You are awfully popular."
