oryP 972 Share Posted January 20 “By Bones and Barrows.”Per Ossa et in Barcis Issued by the County of Marsana3rd of Grand Harvest, 94 B.A.__________________________ Penned by the Count of Marsana, Ser Demetrius var Ruthern To the Citizenry of the Kingdom of Balian, it is with grieving hearts we announce the passing of Don Gaius Geoffrey var Ruthern and his wife, Dona Mariya Elizabeth Ruthern Novellen. The aging couple had been bedridden after the mourning of their daughter, Natalya Rosario vas Ruthern due to plague and sickness. Their ailment continued to decline, only having their long and dutiful lives prolonged by their son, Rhys var Ruthern. The pair shall be buried upon the County of Marsana, together.I, Don Demetrius var Ruthern, declare my parents deceased as of the 13th of Snow’s Maiden, 93 B.A. All of their assets shall be divided amongst their children as they see fit. Additionally, the House of Ruthern shall adorn black garbes for one saint week after the passing of both Count Emiratus Gaius and Lady Mariya. To my father, GOD rest your soul, my regret lies in my sister and your daughter, Charlotte Barrow, for I failed to hold together the family in which you and mamej created. It is GOD given duty to atone for such, it shall be as you wanted. __________________________ Eulogy of the Gaius e Mariya The life of Gaius Geoffrey var Ruthern was nothing short of a miserable and abrupt start, born from the union of Viktor Erik var Ruthern and Chloe Giselle de Rosius, Gaius was the first and only child to be born with the name Ruthern. In contrast, Mariya Elizabeth Ruthern Novellen was born from the marriage of Her Highness, Augustina Therosia Novellen and His Royal Highness, Joseph I, the Prince of Sedan. Though the marriage of her blooded parents was short, Mariya remained within the Kingdom of Balian to be raised in the halls of the Palace of Monterosa. As he entered the developmental stages of his life, Chloe Giselle de Rosius passed onto the Seven Skies and soon the disappearance and death of his father followed. Distraught and despondent, Gaius inherited the Barony of Marsana at the measly age of fourteen, having no members within his house. Early into adulthood, Gaius joined the government and enlisted into the military, eventually becoming the Minister of Interior and was seated upon the Royal Duana of Balian. Gaius was of great help in the efforts against the beast known as Cloudbreaker alongside the man who had fathered him, Ledicort Vuiller. Finding jubilation in the presence of his wife to be, Mariya Elizabeth Novellen, the two joined in holy matrimony in 47 B.A of Peter’s Glory. Following their wedding, was the birth of their first son and heir, Demetrius Laonicus var Ruthern, and the spare, Charlotte Valentina vas Ruthern and even further along came another pair of twins, Rhys Marcelo var Ruthern and Madalena Alexei vas Ruthern. Through Gaius' work and service to the crown following Ledicort’s retirement from leading the Royal Duana as Amiratus, he was found to be his successor, becoming the second Amiratus of the Royal Duana under King Alexander I. Gaius was a diligent worker and good father to his children, an even better husband after the birth of their second pair of twins had blinded Mariya, making her unable to continue her work as a Ambassador of Balian. After his third daughter, Natalya Rosario was born a cripple, the realm fell into disaster as the Mori’Quessar’s waged upon Almaris, inevitably forcing all descendants back to the fallen Kingdom of Savoy. Even then, Savoy wasn’t safe, escaping the armies through tunnels, they forged a path to the island of Failor, where Kristoff Alexios was born, the sixth and final child of the couple. Upon the journey’s end as the Ruthern mainline settled into Aevos, Gaius was rewarded with promotion to the peerage rank of Viscount and not long after, his son was knighted by King Adrian I. With his health slowly deteriorating and his wife already stuck within the confinements of Marsana. The accumulated stress from his long and dutiful years of service to the Crown as Amiratus, added with the sudden passing of his daughter, Natalya Rosario vas Ruthern was too much. His retirement was abrupt and his abdication from the newly earned title of Count more so. Ser Demetrius var Ruthern was named Count of Marsana and his father now Count Emiratus. Lord Gaius and Lady Mariya never did leave the manor much after their ailment worsened, a private viewing was held with only the present members of the mainline being able to witness, with exclusion of the disowned Charlotte Barrow. Gaius Geoffrey var Ruthern and Mariya Elizabeth Ruthern Novellen passed onto the seven skies in the 93rd year of the Balianese age, on the 13th of Snow’s Maiden, GOD rest their souls and make sure they’re guided to the eternal afterlife happily. __________________________ THE WILL AND TESTAMENT OF GAIUS GEOFFREY VAR RUTHERN AND MARIYA ELIZABETH RUTHERN The Will and Testament of Gaius Geoffrey var Ruthern and Mariya Elizabeth Ruthern Novellen will not be disclosed to the public as it was the wishes of the deceased. It is within best wishes of the Count of Marsana to have the wills of both be read aloud before the mainline and children of the couple by His Excellency, Ser Robert Joseph de Lyons. __________________________ Signed, His Excellency, Ser Demetrius Laonicus ‘Al Valiant’ var Ruthern, Constable of the Royal Duana, Fleet Admiral of the Royal Balianese Armada, Count of Marsana, Baron of Turanov, Patriarch of House Ruthern. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmiliainWonderland 1526 Share Posted January 20 At the gates of the Seven Skies, Chloe waited. She took a deep breath and frowned seeing Gaius once more. "I'm sorry for everything Gaius, but you're here at last, so forgive your mother, would you?" Then she opened her arms wide to hug him once more. @Wavey Meanwhile, in Hyspia, Eryane had heard the news at last. Her last sibling had passed away. She would forever live with the regrets of their childhood. She'd forever regret the things that happened to Diane, her twin sister, but she was glad that she had her nieces and nephews would live on for them. As none of her other siblings had children other than Emma, and Emma's kids were distant. Perhaps it was time to visit them again and send her condolences in person. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitomine 775 Share Posted January 20 The renowned Charlotte ‘Barrow’ lifted a brow at the missive and quickly signed the Lorraine. “Goodbye papej, mamej.” She murmured, staring at the paper a few moments longer. “Barrow? Vy have disowned Y but Y had married out years prior. Vyr just selfish and bitter that Y left vyr cruel family. And Y do niet even get to attend their funeral..” The aging woman shook her head. “Niet like it matters. Y do niet remember them anyways.” Charlotte read the missive in front of her daughter Helena, though didn’t seem to even register her being there. For once, her pain and sorrow of the early onset dementia finally sunk in. “Y wish Y did remember vy..” 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeylin 999 Share Posted January 21 Rhys, the only one to pursue a medical field, had tried his best to ease his parents pain in their later years, and yet his efforts were largely in vain. The both of them had been in pain when they'd passed- and he was unable to help. He was well aware of how cruel life could be towards the end. It served to make the bitter man ever more acidic. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
