The Heir to Dover, 2012

LO UNTO THE PEOPLE OF ALBA & THE HEARTLANDS,

 

It is with delight that on this day, the 10th of Malin’s Welcome, 2013, that the Comital couple of Dover do henceforth announce the long-awaited birth of their firstborn son and heir, the little Lord George Arthur Marie Charles John Leon Richard Aldersberg.

Both mother and child remain in good health since his birth five months prior; with private invitations to the baptism expected to be issued shortly.
 

S I G N E D,  

HIS EXCELLENCY, George Charles Aldersberg,

Lord Chancellor of Alba, Earl of Dover

THE RIGHT HONORABLE,  Fiorenza Loretta Artemisia Aldersburg,
Countess of Dover

A librarian upon the streets of the duchy, who witnessed the union of the Aldersberg couple, had found the news she read to be a blessing. Octavia Galbraith and her growing mission to provide for her chosen home led her to grab a quill and dunk it in ink. 

 

"To His Excellency, the Count of Dover and his Countess, @Mattiii @Phoebe202

 

Congratulations upon the birth of your heir! I hope the boy and his mother, the Countess, are in good health. The cold is most bitter at night this time of year, so I advise your servants to light your fire with more firewood than usual. 

 

I write with the intention that as Chief Librarian of the Public Library of Saint Daniel, I might begin tutoring the young Lord George as a form of governess. He can access my ever-growing children's literature collection and be educated properly as a lordling should be. This offer will start once the boy is the age to comprehend reading and writing, and it is at your will to either accept or deny. 

 

Yours faithfully,

Lady Octavia Galbraith,

Chief Librarian of the Public Library of Saint Daniel & President of the Alban Wordsmiths Society."

The Earl's sister, Mary, rose a brow. She mumbled something to herself - perhaps about the Earl's (lack of) homosexuality. Nonetheless, Mary sent her brother George a letter congratulating him.
