Leopold Helvets read over the invitation "Seems love really is in the air! Any more marriages and my coffers will be run dry from all the gifts!" Spoke the man in jest, a gracious smile.

The farmhand Gearalt continued to tend the fields of Golden Field, unaware of the matrimony to be nor had he the ability to read the public missive which was published beforehand. However, somewhere deep in his subconscious told him to drop his scythe and begin making way for the city of Elizabeth. Perhaps the puppet master of this young farmer's soul had a friend's obligation to those in the heartlands.

Edward Caius readied the preparations for the grand wedding to be, "Everything must be perfect for my son."

Adeliade Emmeline grinned as the young lady called out to her father, "Father I must have a new gown for such an occasion! Lord Teddy will be wed soon we must look our best!" @Chorale__

[Axelu 4333]

“To the future of Alba, and of the Lowlands,” so decreed Cecily of Alstion.

[Kardika 1057]

The masked menace rubs his hands and lets out an ominous laugh

"E-hehehehehe... hehehe.... hehehe... heh..."

Jane, in the privacy of her quarters at the Castle Morvelyn, released a sigh, her shoulders deflating in tandem as she slumped against the stoney walls. Her eyes were tired already from the weight of her impending nuptials, vexed by the eagerness with which the servants and ladies-in-wait at the castle accepted her into their ranks.

Mother Alexandra rejoices upon the great and merry news that plagued the Imperial domain.

The Baron of Artois smiled toward his beloved and reached for his coin-purse, “Only the best for mon fille!” Charles of Montresor extended to her. Named after his long gone aunt Winifred whom he endeared, the Halcourt patriarch would provide this budding rose whatever she wished for.
