On the matter of Georgiana Wick, and the recent passing of Glim Wick
To his Holiness Ro’eh Tzon of the blessed Papal States, Prince Edward Caius of the Duchy of Alba, and to King John II of the Kingdom of Balian. Just a saint’s day ago, a staple and beloved member of our Wickish clans, Glim Wick, perished in the streets of Balian. His death ‘twas not a crime pursued by a lone individual, but rather, as has been told to us, a crime of a few members. While the facts of the matter are most hazy, as they may often be blurred by chattering wives and busybodies- of which every land far and wide is subject to, we have but a simple request.
On the matter of Georgiana’s involvement, we most humbly request to investigate, trial, and subject her to the laws of our family and of our land. Due to the crime involving a Wick-on-Wick altercation, it is only tradition to resolve the issue interfamilial in a Court of Candle. It is assured we would seek out eye witnesses, and exhume the corpse of Glim Wick to inspect for potential causes of death.
To His Holiness, and to the Lordship of Alba, any potential crimes done by Georgiana were done on Balianite land. No man nor woman should be tried twice, nor thrice for a potential crime committed in a lone Kingdom. For this reason, the Kingdom of Balian should be solely granted jurisdiction.
While Georgiana remains out of Wick custody for the time being, if the Kingdom of Balian does refuse our request for a Court of Candle, upon her capture she would be hastily extradited to the Kingdom for questioning and trial. As well, the body of Glim Wick has been put to rest. Though, should the Kingdom of Balian wish to further perform autopsy on the cadaver, the grave may only be unsealed once as per candlemass right. This would be permitted, should the need arise.
In our most humblest request, let justice be dealt.
We aren’t done yet.
