THE HENRIETTAN BERATUNG

Ladies of the Beratung, circa. 1928

  
The Reinmaren domain of Aaun has had modest courtly developments, regularly abstracting from what one may anticipate as Palatial matters. Yet, upon the union of the Grand Prince Brandt and the Grand Princess-consort Henriette, particular changes were made in an effort to organise courtly structure. By and by resulting in the need of an official institution to coordinate merriments, conduct the maintenance of the Kanunsberg Castle and to expand onto the arts and humanities.

THEREFORE, WE ORGANISE THE HENRIETTAN BERATUNG;

THE GOUVERNANTE

The Gouvernante serves as the Head of Court to the Grand Princess, Henriette. They are responsible for the management of the court, overseeing the court's operations and ensuring that particular daily procedures are executed appropriately, as well as functions hosted by the Grand Princess.

A young d'Arkent came running up to her mother, missive in hand, waving it in her face. "Dwarves are fat like Joseph, we should visit them!" @Autty

Anne Adelheid sitting inside the Sunholdt apartments within the Augustine read the given missive then shooting her daughter a glare. "Enough of that, you should not say such things about your brother. Besides, you should refrain yourself from saying that to a Dwarf directly my darling, they are not the most pleasant folk to be associated with, they do not take insults lightly."

Time: 6:30 PM EST

Anne Adelheid peered over at her Father, her brows tightening into a furrow. "What did you do?"
@MrChenn

Anne Adelheid's lips grew into a wide grin upon hearing the news of her dearest friend Juliya's unexpected matrimony. "I need to prepare a gift for her!" With haste, the young Pruvia would prepare a gift. 

Anne Adelheid sat at Provins, continuing her studies as a Medic when a servant had entered her room handing her a fresh copy of Petit Potins. The Pruvia sat there observing the column eventually coming across the paragraph that was focus upon her. As furious as she was about what had been said about her, she'd rumple the pamphlet throwing it onto the ground, going back to her studies. "People need to learn to keep their nose out of others business." She murmured to herself. 

Anne Adelheid read the pamphlet conscientiously whilst sitting by her sister during dinner. "As expected, I knew they were going to mention that dance with John. But just so happens to be that they've mixed us up, truly pathetic, at least get my name correct before you decide to write about me." She remarked with a smirk on her countenance.

The aging princess then scowled as Anne Adelheid was only signed up as Lady Anne Pruvia-Provins - despite her being a Miss - and having a 2nd first name, by which she was called by. @Autty

Anne Adelheid traced a finger as she observed the list of many Debutants. Coming to a complete stop as she came across her name, giving it a glower, feeling somewhat irritated knowing that they've omitted her middle name.

Natalya vas Ruthern would smile as she simply sat upon the soft seat with many of the ladies enjoying their time- but then, Mary and Elizabeth left. Then Anna and Juliya left, she followed along, walking and keeping up an elegant pose with a slight haste. The little Ruthern child still keeping up a smile while leaving.

 

Charlotte Amadea continued to sit there shortly after watching everyone else exit the room, she'd heave a sigh before ultimately deciding to take her leave as well.
