A NOBLE HOUSE REDEEMED [THE FONTAINE, WICK AGREEMENT]

[198Os 48]

A NOBLE HOUSE REDEEMED

The dissolution of the Fontaines, the rebirth of the Wicks

 

 

The rain fell steadily as the two men stood in opposition, 

The noble, and the Shepard.

A proposal, a refusal,

Dissolution.

A delicate dance of words and power,

"My family wishes for such,"

"Mine for other,"

What family have you?
 Better united, 

Than dead.

One family the earth one family a dying seed.

 

A final work, Castille Fontaine

 

 

 

The Fontaines, of Adria Absolved

The formal document appeared penned with expert care

 

 

 

The Family Fontaine, alongside the Noble House Wick,

     do pen this agreement in the hopes of igniting a brighter, more potent future for Idunia, Adria, and it's people. In pursuit of encouraging unity, increasing generosity, and fighting for the peace of the people, The Family Fontaine, relinquishes it's name in order to seek prosperity under the Wick banner. The Fontaines, a family recognized for their contributions to the Duchy of Adria now under this binding agreement, seek full cooperation and unity with the Wicks under the pretense of indistinguishability.

Thunder cracked hungrily outside the window. A dark room, lit only by a single lantern.

 

"How would you like to be seen Adelbert?" Castille folded his arms, sitting back within his chair. "What do you hope the Wicks are known for?"

 

The man seemed to brighten at the question, leaning forward. "I wish to be known as honorable, good, and happy people." He spoke as a genuine hope filled his eyes. "I wish none of this- had ever happened." His eyes darkened some at the remembrance of past events. "I wish to be beloved by the people."

 

Castille stared unwavering, "An honorable wish" - "And you see my family acquiring this without title, don't you?"  He gestured toward the man. "I see that." Another pause followed. "I think you have far too narrow ideas of what could be possible between us." - "I am a shepherd Adelbert." - "To my family, to my people." - "What happens to the Fontaines is my business. And responsibility, we do not need a noble title to achieve your dream."

 

"What do you think is possible between us?"

As a product of this agreement, to ensure peace during the merger, Castille, once head of the Fontaine family is granted the position of HEAD ADVISOR, trusted voice of reason to the Lord, and is granted privilege to pass down said position for the future. Castille is also granted the position of heir to the lordship, however, must return the lordship to a member of Wick blood post-mortem. Should no suitable Wick be found, the lordship would remain inherited by any Wick chosen by Castille. In turn, all familial distinction will be entirely dissolved. The Fontaines, now inseparable from the Wicks, in both name, and common goal. All honors, titles, history, and actions merged.

"I seek to be an open hand to the virtuous in need, Adelbert. A shield to the fallen knight. A hearth to the freezing hunter. A candle for the child, scared of the dark."  A pause followed. "Ignis." The collection of candles which lined the Wick's desk, illuminated.

"What do you propose, Castille?"

 

 

 

-

As a final, binding agreement to render the true rebirth of the Wick name, the Wick family is bound to induct the oath of the Fontaine family as their own as a signal of a new way, and a true indistinguishable lasting goal. This decision, for the glory, prosperity, and future of the Kingdom of Idunia, The Duchy of Adria, and the noble house Wick, united. 

 

Signed, 

The New, House Wick

Solveig Callaghan feels a deep sense of despair at the idea of there being twice as many Wicks as there were before.
