A NOTICE OF PASSING

 

 

7th of Sun’s Smile, 121 B.A.

It is with a heavy heart that House Novellen do announce the passing of the Princess Selyne Sosina Novellen, formerly of Amador.

 

Loving wife to His Highness Elianos Hadrian Novellen, the Princess leaves behind three children, all of whom she doted on tremendously. 

The cause of death is said to have been sudden, and suspected as food poisoning. It was well known that the Princess loved to cook and experiment with ingredients, and she is said to have swiftly taken ill alongside several friends during a private tea party.

 

Condolences are extended to the Princess’s family- her sisters, mother and father, all of whom are invited to Portoregne at their earliest convenience.

 

For the sake of the children, House Novellen asks privacy be extended to the families, to allow them a chance to grieve.

 

Signed,

His Highness, Elianos Hadrian Novellen, Prince of Balian.

Esfir locked herself in her room, inconsolably sobbing. Selyne had always been distant, but nonetheless she was Esfir’s other half. They were twins.

 

The next day, after the woman had pulled herself somewhat together, Esfir set off to meet Elianos. A visit was long overdue.

Nerida lamented.

 

She received the news by the Amador courier around mid-day, some hour-or-two before a meeting she was to attend.
Nerida held her mother as they both sobbed within Selyne's childhood room, focus set upon the twin beds arranged beside each other.

 

Later, preparing herself for duma, the Amador penned a letter for her late sister's spouse. She hoped to meet the man that made her sister happy, and meet the children Selyne blessed the realm with.

On the Southern Shores of Aevos, Achillius Aurelian toiled as they constructed a new ship the Dona Esfir, but he paused upon hearing the news of the passing, rushing over to his wifes side in Haense, knowing that the pain that she must feel must be unimaginable, having never been a twin himself, he would be there for his wife. @Cheese
