Niccolò rested in his family's San Godwinsburg manorhome, seated with his wife in the first drawing room. In came an Illatian servant who, on a silver tray, brought over the day's notices and mail. At the top rested the writ of gentrification, and Niccolò called out at a dynamic that could wake his entire home, "Ay, Mio DIO! Look at this dear Ophelia." He said as he read the writ, pure bliss expressed across his visage. "We have officially been granted the Gentry rank by their Serene Highnesses. - Bambini di Illatia, scendete subito! Aha, GLORIA! Viva Alba! Viva Illatia!" He said with great pride in both his current home and that of his ancestry, rambling on about an Illatian festival to celebrate. @HighLariousKitty

Ildegardaia Tommasa, granddaughter of Niccolò, daughter of Father Sigismondo, had just returned from a visit to the Imperial Capital of Rittersburg. The girl held a smile upon her visage as she entered her Father's home. She inquired then, "Papa, what is it?" She asked in a curious tone as he prayed in a triumphant timbre, thanking DIO in swift Illatian tongue. Whilst he prayed, she noticed a writ to read upon the table of the drawing room, in which she squealed and fell to her knees, signing the Lorraine. "Oh- DIO. . . Grazie, most heavenly padre-  continue to guide our Nonno, bless him as he works to establish a vibrant Illatian Identity within this Imperium. Grazie DIO!" She thanked God and returned to her feet. She then sang and danced through the home, making her way down to the kitchens for a sweet treat. @TwistedFries

Giorgia, daughter of Niccóli, read over the writ. A happy grin spread over her face. She was happy for her family. Proud of her papa, for all the hard work he had done.
She’d delightedly go to tell her dear husband Franz. Their twin children listening in though they did not know what it meant, they were happy to see their mama happy!
