“In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control; even over his own will.” -Unknown.

TO THE RESPECTABLE PEERS AND CITIZENS OF THE EMPIRE,

 

In the aftermath of the Empire’s dissolution and the restoration of the Kingdom of Oren, the Count of Provins traveled upon his own will to Providence. Making the bountiful journey to the Royal throne room of Aster Hall, the young Count Fernand swore his oath of fealty to King Frederick I in person. This missive, however, shall prove as an official and public declaration of continued service to the King and Crown.

 

The Comital House of Provins does hereby swear that it shall uphold its oath and service throughout this tumultuous time of change. It shall remain in stalwart servitude to the Royal Crown, and uphold its duty in eradicating traitors and would-be dissidents against the rightful King Frederick I.

 

Additionally, at the personal behest of his Royal Majesty, Count Fernand shall relocate to the Imperial Palace to begin a wardship beneath King Frederick I. The House of Pruvia is most elated at this glorious and spectacular opportunity and extends its utmost thanks and gratitude to the Royal Crown.

 

GLOIRE AU ROI,

The Right Hon. Fernand Antoine Pruvia, Count of Provins

Her Ladyship, Countess-Dowager Claude Elisabeth de Savoie, Lady Regent of Provinss
