Xarkly 12567 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2023 THE JUDGMENT OF LORENA GANT: TRIAL BY CARROT Issued by the CARROT On this 11th day of Jula and Piov of 474 E.S. Spoiler UPON MY NAME AS VANHART THE CARROT, I HEREBY DECLARE that I stood present as Lorena Gant, daughter to Lord-Palatine Otto Gant, was apprehended in the Morrivi Prikaz by her father, my lord son Wilheim Barclay, Lord Carolus Colborn, and Ser Vlad Hothand following the pontificial enthronement of his Holiness, Sixtus V. The Lord-Palatine levied upon his lady daughter the charge of treason, for she had defected to the hostile state of Adria. Ser Vlad Hothand, having investigated the the matter, testified that this was the case, and I, knowing Ser Vlad to be a reputable man of honour, have no cause to doubt him. Furthermore, I was present when a Kharajyr by the name of 'Jester' did previously testify that Lorena Gant had partaken in the armed activities of Adria against the Kongzem of Haense's allies. I witnessed as the Lord-Palatine, deaf to his lady daughter's pleas, condemned her to beheading for her betrayal. I HEREBY DECLARE that the Lord-Palatine departed after he ordered Lord Carolus, Ser Vlad, and my lord son Wilheim to take the condemned Lorena Gant to the square for execution. I took to the patrol the walls with my lady daughter Edith of Aaun, while the condemned Lorena Gants was given her last rites while resisting her sentence. As I returned to the square, in the midst of disorder and commotion, it was I who bid Ser Vlad stay his executioner's blade as the condemned Lorena Gant continued to resist. As I called for silence in the square, I approached and examined the wounded woman, and I, as a sworn servant of his Majesty and his laws of the Haurul Caezk, did bestow unto the accused Lorena Gant the chance to rebuke her father's charge by way of Trial by Combat. I HEREBY DECLARE that all gathered in the Karosgrad Square stood witness as Lorena Gant accepted my challenge. Upon medical inspection by Amaya Colborn, I, having been satisfied that the condemned Lorena Gant was in no condition to fight, gave her leave to return to her new home of Adria and that, upon her recovery, she was to return to Haense to face me in battle. Should she prove victorious, then never shall her name be stained with the allegation of treason and betrayal. Should she fall in battle, then I shall enact judgment upon her. Should she fail to come before me to duel, it shall be my oath to my God and my King to hunt down Lorena Gant and, through all means necessary, vanquish her as a craven and a knave. I HEREBY DECLARE that, upon my hammer and the name of the Lady Johanna, I shall not falter in this duty. @liz WER RASTET DER ROSTET SER VANHART BARCLAY 41 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMRO 5245 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Jimarcus found himself shocked at this outcome, he loved a duel but he hated traitors. “They’re trying, at least. A traitor is already a coward and a knave, they have no care for their names. What is expected? Not a chance she’ll return.” 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn__TWG 2616 Share Posted April 22, 2023 "Du are too honorable for ihr own gutt, vater." the aforementioned Wilheim Barclay cursed to himself as he read the misthve. "She has turned to the same men who kidnapped ihr blood. Such dogs should've been put down before their madness spreads." 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz 962 Share Posted April 22, 2023 "My own father, my own father..." chanted the scorned Lady Gant from within a stuffy chamber in Castle Emalinhrad, her arms - thinning, thanks to her refusal to eat - enveloped her knees as she rocked to and fro with each iteration of the ritualistic chorus. "My own father..." once more echoed out as a retainer of the Lady Suzana delivered a bowl of stew, replacing the now-chilled, untouched plate of the previous day. "My father no more." Was her final resolution to the icy-eyed maid, who merely offered a meek nod before slinking back off to the kitchens - to speak of Lorena's madness, no doubt. "I will have his head." She spoke into the chilly air as she rose shakily from the down-filled cot, trudging along to the window. "I will have all of their heads." 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazedpudding 2110 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Josefina Barclay gazed out at the rose fields, arms wrapped tightly about herself. The young Gant had been present during her kidnapping just under a year ago now. She had no pity for those that stood idly by and watched as Adrians voted to take her head, and the heads of her kin. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarven 1688 Share Posted April 23, 2023 "Should have put down the heretic from the start..." the inquisitor scoffed, crossing his arms as he'd observe the proceedings and declaration of challenge.
