THE BARONESS’S PASSING; HER THOUGHTS IN HER FINAL YEARS

FROM HER JOURNALS OF RECOLLECTION AND HER FINAL NIGHT

 

It was a most somber night, the stars were shining yet their streaking light was most wan in the eyes of Adelheid, such was the phenomenon she most witnessed of late- for some years now in fact. Her life had been a disappointment in a number of aspects, stemming from the man she married, Emilio the Roach. Cursed be his name! His promises were what drew her in their more youthful years and yet few of them he ever fulfilled, had he forgotten? No, she was sure he was naught but a liar, a promise breaker. His promises were that of greatness… of retribution… and yet after all these years he was still nothing more than a petty baron with a palace in an elfen mosquito ridden swamp.

 

She knew she had been a fool in believing in him, for he was a fool himself. All she had was the constant reminders she was in a foreign culture, few of her children had taken to her mother language of waldenian always speaking in the accursed Illatiano her husband Emilio the Roach so loved. How it wounded her so, and for such wounding she inflicted what she felt onto Emilio, often bruising his poor visage and features. How she grew to despise him, his penchant for digging ancient and useless artifacts from the ground, his bland diet of spaghetti and other variants of it, all of his ineptitudes! He wrought all her abuse upon himself, that much she swore to herself.

 

ADELHEID’S FINAL NIGHT

 

It was a night like many other nights; but for Adelheid it was the night of her doom, whether she knew such or not, a specter loomed above her or perhaps it was a man? Truth be told one cannot be sure. It is said Emilio the Roach woke up late in the night, and saw his lady wife standing upon the railing of their room’s balcony just moments before she took the fateful step to her doom. Try as he might, he could not bring himself from his bed, he was still, his body would not respond to his thoughts, his thoughts to jump and save her did nothing, finding himself within a paralysis of slumber as she slipped and plunged into the night’s darkness, to her doom. 

 

Such is only one retelling however, it was said that a servant down in the palazzo’s courtyard say they saw the arms of a dark figure push lady Adelheid, while others, specifically Emilio the Younger do indeed recollect seeing the Lady Adelheid ambling about as they went for a late night snack from the kitchen, lending credence to this being a woeful accident.

THE BARON’S SORROW

 

It is a great sadness when a family must mourn one of its members, such is the case that has struck our dear and beloved house. The passing of my lady wife, Adelheid Mathilde Varoche née von Reuss, the woman I cared and loved most for has passed into the beyond, the Seven Skies, her grace forever lost to our family and great house. She and I had our great differences but I never believed them to be such an awful burden upon her, if only I had known… it is too late for that now. I will forever pray for her and cherish her memory. May the Creator save us all when our times come.

MAY SHE FIND SERENITY AND RESTFUL PEACE IN THE SEVEN SKIES

FOR SHE COULDN’T FIND IT AMONGST THE LIVING

MAY THE CREATOR FORGIVE HER SINS

AND SEE HER SPIRIT’S GOODNESS

Thanks to Illuminare for writing this for me! (Way to busy to try to write stuff right now)

 

I loved playing Adelheid and enjoyed my time on LOTC so far. I've decided to take a break on the server for a while as I am getting my degree and need to focus on my requirements for that. My discord will always be open (might take me a little to respond) but otherwise I shall be back at another time!

I don't know this character but, take care of yourself Cubi!

Lucrezia, one of the baroness's daughters sat within a foreign land as she was surrounded by a bunch of new friends. Unsure of what was going on back home.

Emilio sat within the chapel of Palazzo Napoliza, praying for Adelheid to safely reach the Seven Skies, "I will miss you dear," the Roach said, a tears stemming from his eyes, "If-a only I could've been better."

Marlene of Merryweather could only feel the tears streaming down her face as her husband delivered the news before bedtime. Adelheid had been her closest friend and the reason she had married Siegmund. Remorse and regret overwhelmed her as she wandered alone in Castle Kostriz, hanging up black curtains and tightly knotting them to block any sliver of light.

 

However, as the Mistress of Velen, it became her responsibility to arrange the funeral. A proper, Velenic, funeral. While her aging children gathered wood for Adelheid's pyre, Marlene couldn't help but reflect on what went wrong. Why hadn't she written to Adelheid? Why hadn't she sent tokens of home, like fruit and flowers? These thoughts soon turned into anger, directed at Adelheid's husband. In response, Marlene prepared herself, donning armor and grabbing a sword. Emilio Varoche had a reckoning coming.

Emilio the Younger lays in his bed staring at the ceiling. The sun had risen hours ago, but he still felt cold; the glow of the sun could never compare to how his mother had brightened his life.
