Eleanor grasped her cup of Pruvian Port, progressing it closer to her lips, before uttering. “GOD has blessed my confidant, Renilde of Petra. We began many discussions on reconciliation of our realms, but they were all halted by her tyrannical husband. I shall pray that she emerges victorious in this coup. Oh, how blessed am I to have you, Charles.” The other elderly extended her hands towards that of her partner, her wrinkled skin holding that of his.

Eleanor, stood at the holy grounds for hours, contemplating and praying for the souls of the schismatics. Valent, the famed founder of the Dynasty of Roses shook his head in utter disapproval.

Eleanor, now seas away, peruses the contents. She fondly recollects reminiscences of her being Governess, and grins widely.

The woman of Provinois origins stood before the altar of GOD in the Basilica of Saint Alexander of Furnestock in the latterly restored seat of Aaun. She was kneeling on the cold ground with hands clasped. "And here, the Alstion Restoration concludes. Yet, we must maintain this stability, for it is heavier to wear the Crown than bid for it." The Pruvia then rose, as she stood her husband, Charles I, embraced her, for their juvenile dream was accomplished.

Eleanor smiles, or rather smirks as Savoyards used to.

Eleanor was seated onto a pleasant tabouret, her eyes fixated upon an endless pile of papers. Thereafter, a knock echoed throughout the room. "COME IN!"

In moments, silence engulfed the room, and the Pruvia crossed the Lorraine over her body. "He was a good man, and more intelligent than many." She halted, lips curling once again. "You must ensure that his children receive letters, of our sympathy regarding their father's death."

A founder directed his gaze towards the mortal realm from the skies, thereafter his complexion shined with growing beam due to the immense growth of his dynasty. Fond memories circulated his mind, from the years, when food was blessing for them.
