Da_Emperors 1986 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The quill was dipped into the black ink a few times over before it reached the paper. “Constantine Malenos.” He would repeat as the name was written over the parchment while his hand continued to finish off the rest of the work. “It pleases me to see former sons of Oren come together once more as friends – and unity by marriage. God bless Sedan and Balian as they continue to prosper under his will.” 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As their Princess, I have a duty.” She addressed Persephone, her younger sibling. “I will miss you but you know where I will be” The Princess smiled and continued with her day. “Ave Sedan and Ave Balian. May Joseph and I work to construct something marvelous.” 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I wish you didn't have to go, but I understand why you must" she looked around, before picking up her blue ladybug plushie "Here, take this with you. You can hug it whenever you miss home" 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimus420 1732 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Ser Owyn de Ravensburg while in the Sedan Tavern read through the missive, a jovial expression upon his face before speaking aloud to his comrades and kin, his voice bellowed so all those nearby could hear, "The time of union is near! A toast is in order! For we drink to this budding friendship between our realms, but to to the long awaited union between our Crown-Prince and the Princess of Balian! AVE SEDAN AVE BALIAN!" 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esther de Ravensburg sighed as her father shouted, a slight glare in her eye for such loud noises. Nonetheless, she loudly shouted back; "AVE SEDAN! AVE BALIAN!" - Just to return to her studies right after. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
