THE PASSING OF THE CROWN

 

---

 

IN MY ROYAL WILL,
 

Despite my boasts, I have always felt the maws of doubt lurking in the corners of my mind. For all the guidance I have received from my tutors and elders, I remain wearily aware of my shortcomings. The labors that entail kingship are ones I find increasingly formidable with each passing day, and I fear I do not possess the qualities necessary to lead our realm with the pride it deserves.

 

With this letter, I announce my abdication and the accession of my younger brother and Lord of Alba, Mark Anthony Alstion, as King of Aaun. In spite of his juniority, he has shown remarkable strength, resolve and willpower where I could not. I solemnly do believe he will guide our people to a brighter, more ideal future under the gaze of God.

I've found it increasingly more as a chore to log on and roleplay. I have too many obligations IRL rn to lead a community and whatever remains of it would be in better hands with someone who truly wants it - For now I will take a break and come back later and do things that I enjoy more :)

Olga tugged on her mother's skirt. "Does this mean cousin Mark will be a king?" The child inquired, her bug-eyes staring at her mother.

As a cattle rancher of little renown, Don de Ves found himself far beneath the politics of the monarchs; however, he kept a close eye on any potential opportunities. "Well, he's going to need a horse, one worthy of a King." And so he saddled up on his horse and began to ride towards the Langkette pass.

Lorelei, the Countess of Enswerp, intends to pen a heartfelt letter to her young cousins. "May God bless them all," she wishes fervently.

Mikhail Clement Sarkozic, Count of Pompourelia sat within the walls of his home alongside his siblings, reading over the massive that was passed to him. A faint smile grew on the young Counts face, before he spoke aloud to his siblings. "Y am glad to see such a sight, someone whom has been trying his best to bring such lands back to their once standing nation, has taken up the throne. May GOD bless him, along with the men and women whom stand beside him." The Sarkozic claimed, before slipping the massive away into a desk drawer.

One autumn evening, as the sun set behind the mountains, Ludwig of Merryweather stood on the steep hill of the Langkette. The loyal Alstreim bannerman sighed as the young Prince Mark became the sixth Alstion monarch he had been in service to. The grey-haired old ranger looked at the burnt-out, once Royal, City of Whitespire and whistled quietly, preparing himself for what fate might bring to him, his Princess and the shattered Kingdom...

John Paul smiles contently, reading the missive. "Cousin Markus? Lemon Hill is going to be busy these next few days."
