THE DEMISE AT DUSK & DAWN

[poki 354]

Wzuvar and Byvca, 451 E.S.

 

 

 

Upon the dawn’s rise, the Heir Vasily Sviatoslavich Godunov was found dead in his crib. According to Medics of the Kingdom, the boy was born weak, and generally, his life was not expected to last longer than a decade. 

 

Later in the evening, the Reverend Mother Maya made the grim discovery of her husband Ivan Jaroslavich Godunov’s corpse in the feasting hall of the Verskaya keep. Near the fireplace was his body and a bloody sword. Ivan seemingly had committed suicide by slashing his own throat. There was no profound reason for his sudden death, but his wife, Mother Maya, suspects it may be due to her inability to bear him children. 

 

With the death of my only son and brother, members of the House are encouraged to don black attire and avoid celebrations of any degree. All flags in the Barony of Verskaya are to be flown at half-mast, the House will be enjoined to a mourning period of three years.

 

GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS, AND MAY HE GRANT THEM REST.

 

SIGNED,

HIS LORDSHIP, Sviatoslav Jaroslavich Godunov, Baron of Verskaya

Funeral on Sunday at 5pm EST

Mother Maya stood at her washing basin, reflecting into the pools before her, still attempting to rid herself of the gore that appeared to have stained her palms and face. But it never seemed to truly disappear.

Sviatoslav held a palm upon Leon's shoulder. "That's life." he expressed as his brown piercing hue, gazed deep into his cousin's, a singular tear rolling down his cheek.

Karl III prayed fervently for one of his most loyal bannermen and his departed son. "I am truly sorry that the boy passed, even after his rescue."
