tilly 3647 Rep Farm Share Posted January 26, 2023 It is with a heavy conscience that I must announce the dismissal of the Archduke-consort of the Commonwealth of the Petra. The reasoning behind this decision is due to a multitude of injustices: I) The Archduke has sought to overreach his station beyond his permitted privileges, as agreed to within our instrument of marriage. -The Archduke has incited hostile relations against fellow Canonist Princes in an attempt to fulfill his warlike ambitions. -The Archduke has attempted to overrule the Archduchess in the selection of the members of her government, at times even in violation of the Constitution and the ideals outlined by Paul-Salvian. -Most recently, the Archduke has attempted to usurp the Archduchess’ authority within Petra itself, erecting palisades around Valfleur and sequestering himself within the halls of the Archduchess’s keep. II) The Archduke has sought to oppose the Holy Canonist Church and the will of His Holiness the High Pontiff by asserting a desire for unfathomable privileges in the hopes of usurping the supremacy in faith justly held by the Canonist Church. III) Despite his zeal to exercise duties outside his lawful station and undermine the Archduchess, the Archduke has neglected his responsibilities to the people and the Commonwealth of Petra, namely through eroding its knightly institutions in favor of a more bureaucratic, authoritarian model that violates the Constitution and ideals outlined by the first Archduke Paul I. IV) In his attempt to usurp the Archduchess on baseless accusations, the Archduke has committed treason against the lawful sovereign of Petra, as recognized and anointed by His Holiness the High Pontiff. Not only has he forsaken the rights of government bestowed upon him by his good and gracious ladywife, but also the sacred rites of marriage he so faithlessly swore those years ago. This government has reason to believe that, on his five year pilgrimage to parts unknown, the Lord Constanz has fallen into temptation and broken his sacred marriage oath, possibly even fathering illegitimate issue by one or more women of this foreign land. Constanz of Balian is nothing more than a would-be invader, having aimed to supplant the honored and beloved traditions of the Knightly Republic during his time as Archduke-consort. This final act, the failed, yet attempted, overthrowing of the Archduchess is the final straw. His fabricated allegations of infidelity are the last gasps of air of his dying cause: to erode the republican traditions of Petra and ensure that he can cement his sole-rule over the lands of Paul-Salvian. As the latter’s daughter and rightful heir, I cannot sit idly by and allow his dream to be tainted by a foreigner who cares not for the Petran people, but for the gain and station he aspires to clasp around his hands. As the Archduchess of Petra, I shall hereby act upon the rights afforded to me by our esteemed Constitution and dismiss the Archduke from my court and exile him from the lands of Petra. I shall undertake my duty to defend the Knightly Republic and the people of the Commonwealth and see that this foreign scourge is driven from our lands. I act now in the favor of God, and of the will of the law and people of Petra. God Save the Commonwealth. HER GRACE, Renilde I, By the Grace of GOD, Archduchess of the Petra, Countess of Temesch and Moere 101 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crevel 4727 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Acolyte Petyr believes that both sides seem to be at fault in varying ways.

Sailor 498 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Grania von Draco's visage bore a striking resemblance to Caelan's amused manner as she chuckled along the missive alongside her dear brother with her head resting in that of her palm.

koanda 620 Share Posted January 26, 2023 "For a woman of such intellect, this is painful. I once sat at your table, he was no consort but your equal, if not more." She muttered, crumbling that missive to discard into the open fire. "If anyone has sinned here, it is you. An adulterous woman defending the church, true comedy." 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
