To the King: A New Duke, 1868

[Fishy 2710]

To the King
A New Duke

4th of Harren’s Folly, 1868

 

---

 

Upon this eve, Duchess Andrea Fredericka Helvets passed away after suffering from pneumonia during a period of illness at Cheval Hall. The late Duchess was a young girl born in turbulent times, ever changing, and we are saddened to lay her to rest. A pyre is to be raised in her honor and the late Duchess cremated as is the tradition of our House. May GOD keep her in the Seven Skies.

As the late Duchess left no heirs of the body, the Duchy of Cathalon shall be inherited by Owyn Leopold Helvets, her paternal uncle and long time guardian regent. The line of succession shall be established to pass to his surviving nephew and niece, Richard Helton Helvets followed by Rosina Matilde Helvets, and their progeny before passing to the Duke's own. With this change comes also proclamation of the House of Helvets to his Majesty, Frederick I, as was already the case during the Battle for Providence. Let our fealty be sworn to the rightful King and our realm be made whole again.

 

For King and Country.

 

IN NOMINE DEI,

HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Frederick I, King of Oren, forever August, King of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duke of Ves, Duke of Helena, Novellen, Furnestock, Petra, Oltremont, South Arentania, and Lorraine, Baron of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders and Farfolk, etcetera.

 

Owyn Leopold Helvets, Duke of Cathalon,
