THE CROWN ENDURES

The Abdication of His Serene Highness, Lucien of Savoy,

TO ALL OUR LOVING AND FAITHFUL SUBJECTS OF WHAT DEGREE AND RANK SOEVER,

 

The Crown of Savoy in recent years since its reconstruction has ever been a fickle one, more akin to being made of thorns over gold. From a grandfather born to great machinations, to a father of an absent nation, it was the will and hope of the Prince of Savoy, Lucien, that the buck would stop and order be restored. In such a time, multiple plots and trials have been levied against him that most rulers do not face in a lifetime. The crown weighs heavy upon the head that wields it, yet as opposed to others who would sit upon their position and allow for it to degrade, the Prince has deemed fit to offer the people of Savoy a new leader who has the energy to rebuild. It is therefore the will of the Crown that Prince Lucien of Savoy abdicates the Savoyard throne to his sister, Princess Renata Adelina Ashford de Savoie.

 

Her Serene Highness, Princess Renata Adelina, inherits the crown on account of the following; 

 

I. Her elder sister disinherited by her marriage to the Count of Mardon having not entered into a matrilineal marriage;

 

II. Her younger brother, Olivier Guy de Savoie, being;

 

i. Absent, or otherwise declared deceased by his disappearance;

 

ii. Plagued with issues of the mind deeming him insane, and thus disinherited from the crown.

 

III. Her proven loyalty to the Principality, having supported Prince Lucien resolutely during both traitorous attempts on his life and birthright.

 

IV. Her proven competency to statecraft, as revealed during the reign of her brother.

 

V. His Serene Highness, Lucien, in order to retain the humility and prestige of his house and position confirm for himself the following;

 

VI. The bestowal of the titular County of Peremont, to be held by the Prince Emeritus until death, thereafter succeeded by his heirs.

 

VII. A classic tunic personally sewn together by the personal hand of the new Princess, Renata Adelina, depicting a particularly angry savoyard bird.

“Und so this chapter of Savoyard history closes.” Adalrich Barclay said upon hearing of his Prince’s abdication. “May Lucien find the peace he could nicht as ruler.”

Carolina glances from the Seven Skies- smiling upon her siblings. "I was wrong, may GOD guide the new Princess of Savoy towards greatness! AVE SAVOY!"

[MikoMonster 1396]

Princess Renata pursed her lips as she read over the document for the hundredth time.

 

"The beginning of a new era. It is time to rebuild." She spoke, eyeing the crown that was now hers to bear. The young woman then took a deep breath, uttering those classic Savoyard words of her late grandfather:

 

"Heavy is the head."

 

 

[Traveller 2718]

Sebastian Velho would sit alone in the grounds of Fort Myrine, the missive tightly gripped in his hand, wishing he could abdicate for a particularly angry Savoyard bird tunic.

[Mio 3938]

"Hey nice job." he said, high fiving the princess.

[Ramon 5186]

Tylos II prayed for the Prince Emeritus upon receiving news of his abdication. One of the few good men left in the world, or so he had thought.

Borys sits in his throne, the missive lays on his knee. A single tear runs down his cheek as he says to himself "Too early..." He then shakes his head and shuts his eyes to think for a while

From the Ducal bedroom, a set of screams echoed through Wilheburg, filled with agony and despair.

 

"WHERE. ARE. MY. THREE. SAVOY. PENS."

[zuziee 4004]

Prinzenas Maya shoved through the crowd to grab hold of the missive. Once in her grasp, her eyes went wide. Immediately, the youngest of the Barbanov kids ran to her eldest brother, Karl. Only to hand off the paper to him and exchange hushed whispers.

Konstanz Barclay jumped as he heard the screams of his father, remembering the savoy pen he left to gather dust in the bottom of the drawer "Probably should've told him earlier."

[GMRO 6187]

Karl Sigmar prayed that the weight of a Crown was not too heavy for his own head, he equally prayed it had not scrambled his friends brain.

             "That's a good deal.."  Lev remarked, knowing of Renata's famous sewing skills! "She's very famous for her sewing!"

[LithiumSedai 5750]

Roy Mor wiped a tear off his cheek, shaken by the news; though, ultimately, all he felt was awe and respect for the young Prince who had saved his life.

 

"Weel loed he was, aye, and I sall hope we'll hae gude lairds like him still."
