The Penman - A Welcome Homecoming

[PrincessSnowie 539]

[!] Found around Oren, The flyer would hang [!]

My oh my.. But how you've all been busy.

 

I know how much you've yearned for that spark of enjoyment in your otherwise bleak repeating lives.

 

 

Well let us not beat around the bush.

Some may take interest in the political ongoing, I however prefer the real news, juicier than a Providence sweetberry. Commemorating our now matured seasons ruby Laurentina, wearing the pants in her family, as she lead her household to the dais of our mighty Empress, even though her step son was present to do so. This lady has never been doubted for having bigger brazen balls than any of the vassalage.

 

And while the brooding party of Dobrov is a sassy delight to watch when swept aside by the throne. The wait they can surely agree was well deserved compared to the great scene of the century.

 

It was the utter act of the youngest d'Azor, Lucia who stepped up to the throne, and in front of the entire empire, proceeded to make a point that one of our old it girls Ioanna Basrid, was in her place. That's right dear readers, Lucia d'Azor had implied SHE belonged with the Crown Prince. And I must say...

 

I do agree. Perhaps it's because these old girls I so carefully watched on their debut have become mostly a bore, with the exception of our ruby. Yet I respect a woman willing to speak her thoughts and take her wishes if it means ripping another's throat out by her teeth! Yes! And while we all know the Orenian It Girls are all linked in friendship. I smell a weak link that's about to be broken. For Her Imperial Majesty seemed not at all insulted, and even I can tell when those great big gears are turning behind her gaze. With two families so closely related, one wonders the fate of the Basrid-Novellen relationship…

 

Still haven’t had enough? Good. Because it’s been a bountiful harvest this year.

 

As if the outburst wasn’t bad enough. An attempted assassination took place on the Crown Prince, not moments after Lady Ioanna’s insult occurred. Barely surviving, with his mother’s name next on the assassin's tongue. The brutes even went after Ioanna as she tried to help protect the Prince. I cannot say if it was for love, or purpose, but I must commemorate the girl's bravery, second only to her own saviour, none other than the Ruby Laurentina.

Amongst the chaos a certain few from Arichsdorf had attempted to murder The Baronet Cesar Komnenos. It’s no secret excess creates enemies, and yet even I find myself stumped why one of Orens richest sons would be wanted dead. Perhaps it's some pissing war between two boy’s, or perhaps it's a family drama. We all know Komnenos enterprises and Red Rose Industries aren’t the cleanest run businesses in Almaris. All I can say is it's like Mother like Son…

 

It is rare I'm given the chance to find so much ripe fruit outside of Astercalia, and with all that unfolded during court. I daresay dear readers, these dramas shall continue. For what will become of the war for Crown-Princess? Or even the relationships between d’Azor & House Basrid. While the empire is unimpressed by Lucia, everyone will be watching. Just as I will be watching the new Baroness of Arichsdorf with her newfound family.

 

Oh but don’t worry, my dear readers. I’ll have eyes on you too.

 

Written with love;

~The Penman

Laurentina beams oh so proudly that she was still living rent free in people's minds despite having debuted almost a decade earlier. The Margravine Arichsdorf shoved the missive into her husband's face, exclaiming; "LOOK! Look they mentioned me three times, Manny! I don't know what that blabber about out people trying to kill some baronet is about though. Must be evil rumors!" @Narthok

Analiese d'Azor still recovered from the shock of everything with her family. The deeply concerned woman nearly fell over and died when her maid told her what was left on the porch of her home. "No- no no no. Not againn!" the woman exclaimed, hurriedly rushing to take the paper as she read it over, relieved she was not mentioned this time. But already she was too embarrased to visit her friends after what occured. "Bring me my smelling salts- Oh dear..."

 

Vespira L. tossed the gossip article on the desk as she smoked her thin cigarette. "Of course right when I retire, that oaf  Analiese lets my company be slandered, does the girl not know how to kill a story?" she said turning to her servants. "Well GO! send for Joseph NOW." the old tycoon demanded.

"That child," rasped EIRENE ELISHEVA BASRID, hiding beneath a tall palm's shade. "A lie, surely. A  fake" — "Bringing shame upon my name, no less."
