ARDOR ABOVE DUTY

Prince Emeritus Lucien and Lady Stefaniya vas Ruthern after reuniting

 

---

 

To the citizens of THE PRINCIPALITY OF SAVOY and KINGDOM OF HANSETI-RUSKA,

 

IT has been many years, years spent upon time in the Principality of Savoy, and a consistent patience for a betrothal to be fruitful, to grow into a marriage of two upon a promise. Yet, time and tribulations made an oath of marriage seem vanquished. 

 

With a prolonged disappearance of Prince Lucien’s betrothed, there was a presumed understanding that a betrothal was not upon the pair. Yet, where duty falls, there is still a persistent necessity for something we all desire; companionship. 

 

The standing of a betrothal can be supported by the idea of status and gain, yet companionship was above all. Therefore, the return of Lady Stefaniya vas Ruthern had sparked a flame that had once muted. The companionship still lingered, and a marriage is soon to follow.

Princess Renata read over the missive in a state of shock. And then she read it again.

 

"What the hell?" she uttered from her residence in the Duchy of Drusco.

 

"I guess I have preparations to make. My dearest brother, finally married."

[PerfectlyPeachy 1344]

Angelika hugs the invitation to her chest, and immediately begins to prepare a gown of her own.

Adeliza-Gisèle Warlai sat at her guardian's side, taking care not to prick her delicate fingers as Renata instructed her in needlework. The little orphan seemed to brim with excitement at the idea of attending her first wedding as the invitation was read, hoping the Princess of Savoy might bring her along.

Olivier Guy frowned as he was not on the list of invitees to his brother's wedding!

[tcs_tonsils_ 2829]

Borris Iver Kortrevich beamed as he read over invitation. Moments from their conversation mere hours before the news. “I believe in your ability to provide the most for your family, Prince Lucien” Borris whispered as he sat by the fire. “Godan be with you and your soon-to-be wife.”

[GMRO 5251]

Karl Sigmar smiled upon receiving the missive, though it was also one of melancholy. He left the letter on his bedroom table, moving off in thought.

[Olox_ 3378]

Borys smiles at the invitation, he folds the piece of paper in half before saying to himself "My duty fulfilled, be as it may -I can die peacefully" The old veteran smiled once more before putting the envelope inside one of his desk drawers

[FeverCode 31]

Cole Gadian smiled as he read the document. "Congratulations Prince Lucien you will do well as the head of your family." He muttered to himself still smiling.

Although the return of the Savoyard's betrothed met Amadea with a shock, the Carrington welcomed the second invitation of the rapidly incoming wedding season with a smile  - quickly moving off to offer praise to the Prince.
