IMPERIAL DECREE | Kill On Sight

[trinn 5128]

Spoiler

“ᴛᴏ ᴍʏ ᴛᴡɪɴ, ᴊᴏʜᴀɴɴᴇꜱ,   It was my folly to have not spoken sooner, cautioned you plainly rather than lamenting upon shadowed halls. Maidens raised us, imparted us grace, but their naivety as well. Naive we were, and the wickedness of the world knew it well to have coiled on you like a wanton beast. It was a gutless thing she did, but words are a poor currency amongst us of Dragonsblood. Maidens raised us, but we are still our Father's children; have we not an empire inherited to make real our wroth?   ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛᴡɪɴ, ᴊᴏᴀɴ.”

 

 

Issued and averred by the office of the

PRINCESS-JUSTICIAR

 

 

✠ HEED, LEAL SONS OF HOREN;

 

Craven are the lies spun from the maw of a treacherous beast. But deceit is all that might be held, in the hands of those without truth and honour; indeed, virtue flees from the hand of this shrinking beast. 

 

Henceforth, so it is decreed: Vera Fitzwillian, for her transgressions and lies against our House of Horen, is so decreed to be Killed on Sight. No priest need be offered for last rites; she may die a pagan, a pig, a snake – whatever leaves her away from Our sight, even in death.
 

 

 

 

AVE IMPERIUM!

Nafis sharpened his blade, while chanting silently to himself what he had heard an Asturian once sing. . .

"Quarenta y vente, quarenta y vente... I'll deliver her head to Justiciar and High Inquisitor both."

„WAT!!!! by me beer tats a dumb lass as I read here lying to our emperor“ Kieran yelled out in the barracks reading this statement

Arthur raises his halberd in fierce determination to rid the world of this evil. The only problem is that he has no idea who Vera even is or what they look like.

Caius II makes an awkward face as he sees the denial of the administration of the last rite. Later that evening, on a completely unrelated note, he issued a reminder to his clergy that the last rite is to be given to any baptized Faithful if able, but that otherwise the justice of the states are not to be interfered with.

The parchment crossed the desk of the Archduchess of Alba, a satisfied grin came to her countenance as she recalled memories of the early years of her union to the Archduke. A flaxen-haired woman that flanked him most often prior to the birth of their son, William, floated in her memory. The subject of her ire for many years, though only in secret until now.

From the skies did Lorena hear a murmured prayer.

 

"You may be dead, but in the end, justice."

 

She peered down upon that city and whatever ruckus was taking place. 

 

"oh... I mean I did try to tell them about the snakes in their gardens... oh well."

Romhilda huffed at sight of the missive, sadness quickly wrot upon her brow. She merely prayed for she, as another of her most cherished raisers was sentenced to death. 

 

[Kholibrii 1211]

"Is she to be cut down on sight or brought before the church for penance?" Philippa of Alstion mumbled to herself as she held the two missives side by side.

A great clamour erupted from within the Emperor's office, and soon enough, both his son and his sister departed the palace. Eventually, a retinue of dragon knights traverse out from behind in preparation of the hunt.

 

"Vile courtesan lurking beneath our very nose. She was the greatest politician, but unfortunately, her rouse did not last too long. Harlot." Hadrian bid, placing the small figurines that cluttered from his prior outrage back onto the war-map.

"A scheming, no good woman from the start - if only people weren't so blind as to not see it," Edith comments, a hand placed upon a portrait of Lorena. "Justice now, by whoever's hand, shall be served."

"That a ***** may rise to such heights..." The young squire spoke; he placed his gauntleted fist upon his mail shirt's side. "Adultery shalt be punished by death!"

Somewhere Uriella spat her goblet of wine over the missive whilst reading it, making it all a crimson mess. "Vera? Kill on sight? That is crazy! What did she even do, this Imperial drama always forgets to spill the tea in full. . ." She groaned and then she drunk what remained from said goblet the whole of it, resting on a hammock on her ship now sailing by the Storm Island of Kurai Kuni, hugging the marshland coast on the west.

[KidKrinkles 2043]

The woman's old mentor read the missive as he passed a board upon the less-traveled highways, and his eye honed in on the name in red.

 

He quietly bit on his cigarette butt,

 

"Te' **** did ye' get yer'self inte' now."

One-sided shouts had echoed through the halls of the Imperial Courts as Valentiná exposed the Duchess Hollyhold‘s deceit. A solemn bitterness settled within her chest thereafter; she opted to hide away in the palace‘s halls as to avoid facing the public. Instead, the Crown Princess tended to her writings.
