The Knight and The Lady

[Plausifraunz 361]

 

 

 

 

Issued by

Arya Elizabeth Alstion

Ser Meili Altwegg

In the year of our Lord 2009

 

 

“Like a fairytale from a storybook.” Arya resonated with Meili, her voice a soft murmur. She turned to the knight, the pair standing side by side. 

 

Such a bond, born not in the safety of courtly halls but amidst the chaos of uncertainty and battle; having met on the brink of siege, it was Meili who stood steadfast at Arya’s side. It was him who aided her in recovering her Niece, him who taught her to bridge the gap and understand words that eluded her, and him who guided her down the path she took. A partnership born from resolve blossoming into something more.

 

To the curious, their camaraderie seemed unusually close, their gazes lingering longer than formality allowed. Whispers accumulated around them. It was Arya, she who did not belong, who saw in the ever-dutiful knight a steadfastness that matched her own. And Meili, a man who’d only ever known comradery and war, discovered a tenderness and courage he admired so dearly in Arya. Amid everything still, the two remained silent in their growing affection.

 

“So we shall create something new, together. To build what will be undeniably and verifiably ours.” Meili held her hands in his own, smiles shared between the two.

 

 

BY GODS WILL, 

 

It is declared that Meili Altwegg, Knight of Ivoria, and Arya Elizabeth Alstion, Lady of Enswerp, have formally announced their engagement and ceremony. The wedding shall take place in the Holy Church of Gottenthal, home of the Ivorian people. With great hope, such union shall be united and seen in GOD’s temple, officiated by His Grace, Bishop Alaric. Afterwards, the couple shall enjoy a day of sparring and drinking in the Wunderbar where they will talk to the company of those who have arrived. Gifts while appreciated are not a requirement and should preferably be left for after the festivities so as not to bog the reception and enjoyment.
