JustAngel69 478 Share Posted December 25, 2023 THE UNION OF HALCOURT AND ALSTREIM 1956 A.H. PRINCEPS IN OMNIBVS First First in all Things The story of Philip and Adelheid began almost two decades ago when the two met as friends within a tourney at Stassion, linked together in common cause to find more friends to play with the pair set forth as best friends. A decade later the late Baron of Brasca, George Marc made a pact with Prince Heinrich Lothar of Merryweather to wed his cousin Philip to the eldest daughter of the Langkette Mountains, Adelheid. As the Heartlands braced themselves for the inevitable onset of war, many found themselves grieving and fearing for the safety of their cherished ones. Among them, Philip Laurent Halcourt and Adelheid Klara von Alstreim experienced the same sentiments. With not only the recent loss of the Prince of Merryweather, but also the sorrowful passing of the Baron, George af Brasca a few years prior, the duo discerned that there could be no more fitting moment than now to uphold the promise forged in their youth by their relatives - an arrangement that would bind their two noble houses futures together. With a sense of expediency and lack of pomp and circumstance due to the ongoing conflict, Philip Laurent Halcourt of Veletz and Adelheid Klara von Alstreim of Merryweather, were married within the Chapel of Our Lady Paradisus within Aaun on this holy day of Tuvmas, with only a modest attendance of witnesses hailing from both the League of Veletz and the Kingdom of Aaun. United, finally in holy matrimony the couple look forward to many years of happy Union. Celebrations for the couple will be held following the conclusion of the war. Signed, His Lordship, Sir Philip Laurent Halcourt Her Highness, Adelheid Klara Halcourt 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherrybud 304 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Adelheid was overjoyed to finally marry her best friend and respect the wishes of their now deceased relatives. She had hoped her father would've been able to walk her down the aisle as anyone would, and that their quiet union would've been more lively and grand... yet she hardly found herself complaining as she rushed to find her relatives in the halls of Ulrichsburg and share the news. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanriu 421 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Clementine Francisca briefly read over the missive, a smile appearing on her face and leaving just as quick as it had appeared. "It was practically fate, and undeniably obvious they would wed one day. I wonder why they elongated such an thing for no absolute cause. It was clear since we were children.." The Chamberlain mumbled as she moved to show her Husband ( @Cubicita ) such a missive before ordering her handmaiden to toss it into the fire. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmiliainWonderland 1526 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Meanwhile, Laurens' daughter Phoibe sipped some tea with her significant other, Koios Teufel. She scoffed at the missive.
