annanicole__ 1546 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Issued by the Office of the Governess of the Palatio Monterosa 11th of Horen’s Calling, 54 B.A. I have been Governess of the Palatio Monterosa for twenty-three years. My father, King John, appointed me as the Governess, and I promised him I would make him proud. During this time, I have created a system of working etiquette and manners that elevated Balian to be one of the most regal of any present human kingdom, surpassing many of its predecessors which were in the process of dying out due to a lack of decorum. The fashions of Balian were likewise spearheaded by myself, introducing a unique cultural image that all the people of Balian could use to differentiate themselves from our counterparts in the northern Heartlands. Finally, I founded the annual Symposia Pragma, a continuation of the Orenian Social Season that brings together both nobles and citizens in the hopes of finding successful unions and ushering in future generations for our kingdom. However, I grow exhausted and I do not believe I could ever host another ball in my lifetime lest I succumb to madness. It is time for me to rest and enjoy these next decades with my children and grandchildren. Thus, the time has come for me to relinquish my command of the Monterosa and its court. Therefore, I have named my daughter, Serena Viviana d'Arkent, to continue my legacy. Seven years ago, I began teaching Serena so that she could follow in my footsteps. I am confident that my daughter will succeed as the subsequent Governess of the Palatio Montersoa. SIGNED, HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, Princess Augustina Therosia “The Snapdragon Princess” of Balian, Countess of Salia and Governess of the Palatio Monterosa 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
