IT HAS VERY UNFORTUNATELY come to my attention that there have been some hideous rumors surrounding me that ultimately led to my disinheritance. Whispers that claim that I was unfaithful to my now ex-lover ELISEI IVANOVICH, and with his cousin no less. This baseless and untrue slander has not only stained my honor, but also that of the good House Ivanovich.

 

“To all those who would reproach my kinswomen, now and forevermore: Piss off about it.” 

– HENRIK III AMADOR

THESE RUMORS BEGAN DURING Juliyafest, where I had been keeping the company of my good friend and guard, ILYA IVANOVICH. Ilya has frequently accompanied me on my outings and travels due to the multiple attempts on my life. While we were speaking, another man came up to me and attempted to flirt with me. I tried to be civil and thus excused myself from the festivities to politely turn down the man’s affections. However, I was informed much later that this man jested to a few that I had chosen Ilya over him, and was thus implying that I was unfaithful when I was already in a relationship. These untrue rumors eventually spread back to my father, and he resolved to disinherit me for nothing more than baseless gossip.

 

A SIMILAR INCIDENT TOOK place many years ago when I was but a tot. A man who had wished for my aunt - THEODOSYA OF MONDSTADT’S - hand spread rumors that she had cheated on him, when in reality they had never courted and she had instead promised herself to my now uncle, the COUNT FRIEDRICH VON AUGUSTEN. When this slander threatened the reputation of my good aunt, did her brother, my father HENRIK III disinherit or shame her? Not at all. Instead, he defended her honor and proclaimed that no man should ever feel entitled to lay claim to a daughter of Amador.1 So that brings me to beg the question of my dear father: WHY WOULD HE NOT DEFEND HIS OWN DAUGHTER AS WELL?

 

TO HAVE SUCH UNTRUSTING parents that would so readily remove me from heirship instead of speaking to me about the rumors that transpired not only offends me to the highest degree, but similarly insults any self-respecting parent who should cherish and communicate with their children. It is shameful to know my father is so apprehensive in regards to his own pride and honor that he would cast aside his daughter at the first sign of trouble, and I can only pray that none of my other kinswomen should ever fall to his cowardice.

 

1] ON THE HONOR OF AMADORIAN WOMEN by Henrik III Amador

Lady ESFIR ARTEMISIA AMADOR, 

 

[Lalosia 1001]

Theodosya von Augusten, Countess-consort of Hohengarten, couldn't help but laugh upon reading the missive.

 

"Henrik, how wholly out of sorts a reaction from you!" She'd speak to her brother, the Viscount Amador, through the piece of parchment

 

The red-headed woman thought back to the writ created by the man himself those many years ago...

 

❖

 

"On the honor of Amadorian women, hah!"

Renata Alba had ignored many of the missives that were delivered after the untimely passing of her husband just the Saints night before, but as her Lady-in-Waiting spoke of this being on Esfir, her dear friend - she accepted the singular missive. Her gaze dragged over it, blonde brows arching in turn. "One conversation and disinherited just like that? I should write her another letter.."

[Lirinya 4021]

Amidst preparations, Cosima took a moment to read over letters and missives that had made their way to her workshop. Keen to collect RSVPs to an upcoming event, no doubt.

She was excited for a moment when she caught sight of Esfirs signiature- to only then frown as she read the letter over.

 

"I am all for untrusting parents," the woman lamented- perhaps recalling dramas of her own through her youth, "but for it to all be so public? Is Haense really this invested in other's relationships? Is all they do gossip? Some can be entertaining but..."

[EmiliainWonderland 2311]

With a heavy sigh, Marlena d'Arkent nee Augusten, who had been missing for so long, cooped up far far away from the rest of the world after her husband's passing and her son's departure. She sighed as the missive graced her fingertips. "There was a time I held respect for the Amadors, for standing up for Theodosya despite my gross treatment of her and the misunderstanding of what occured with my son. . . that time has long since passed. Esfir, young Amador, whoever you are. . . you are more than what they make of you, child. What I had done to your aunt out of spite for my own son's feelings, I am certainly a hypocrite. Would it be too late now? To make amends? Yet I remain here in this world and I have nothing but time now." The aging woman rubbed her forehead with another sigh. "Perhaps it is time to make use of my life once more, I cannot grieve forever. Perhaps we shall see each other soon, young Amador, and I can right those wrongs I made so many years ago."

[TheBigBubbles 963]

Somewhere, an Amador of little renown, peered at the missive. The woman, in her early hundreds flipped the page, to see if there was anything on the back. Milly Amador, one of the two only legitimate daughters of her mother smirked lightly, "May he who is without sin throw the first stone."

Lord Sigmund Ludovar reads the public missive from his dear friend, Esfir. As he read it he'd nod in agreement with the statement. If such a situation were to occur in Ludovar, we would question all those involved and do a thorough investigation. It seems this decision was made hastily and without proper consideration that it could be a lie. I hope the Koeng recognizes this mistake and take the right steps to rectify it.
