Alexander chuckled loudly as he read over the missive. "Let us see how enthusiastic they are when their kin are slaughtered and their homes razed."

On My Own Stance 11th of the Sun’s Smile, 29 B.A. The following is the contents of a letter sent to me, “My fellow Prince Alexandros, I must write to you with great unfortunity, for my hand has been played. For the sake of my realm’s nascent sovereignty, I must proceed forth with the expulsion of the treacherous Acreans. This, however, puts us on the path to oblivion, for your father is to wage war on my realm should I continue to maintain its national integrity. But why is this? Were we not brothers in arms during the sundering of the Empire? Was it not the loyalists who first rallied with the Alstions to save the Imperial way of life? Were our efforts in the establishment of your realm unsatisfactory to your father? He seeks to value cheap political gains over the friendship we once held firmly. I implore you, Alexandros, stay your father’s arms, no matter what it takes - we musn’t allow ourselves to shed each other’s blood. We are better as eternal friends, than enemies.” I shall make my bit short, as copying the letter has already tired my hand. We are better, Prince Alstion, as friends. I do not believe that humanity should be so quick to bleed one another- yet it was indeed you who failed to sign the treaty at the Congress of Atrus- not the Lord Vilain of Acre. We too were a signatory- in a vain attempt to prevent further bloodshed. We humans have experienced much too many wars in the last near century and my Father wished to try and prevent it, along with King Karl III. I stand by the decisions of my Father, King John of Balian- and will continue to stand by our signed treaties after he has been welcomed into the Seven Skies above and my own reign begins. Our Kingdom- myself included, will always stand by the decisions made by the Crown. It is for that reason that I send back to you this letter- as well as delivering it to all other Canonist Sovereigns and Lords, ultimately refusing to attempt to subvert my own Father’s reign and undermine his position. Signed, His Royal Highness, Prince Alexandros Casimir, Count of Monteres

The Prince Alexandros was taken a tad aback by the news. "Why would we wish for secession to a house that wished to murder one of our own?" He asked himself, genuinely disturbed by the revelation.

The Nauzican banner is raised in support of the Bonnie Prince Charlie. "War, then." Dzmitry Barrow, son of the Duke of Reutov commented idly.

Alexandros face turned sour as the news was broken to him. "Thank you for everything you did for my family, Lord Rev. May you rest well among your ancestors." He offered to the air around him- he found himself minute's later in the Church, idly lighting a candle to be left on a small table near the entrance, before departing.

The Prince Alexandros read over the missive, brows raising at the pledge of minas. "That is-... that is a lot of money."
