The Margrave of Stassion, a good friend to the martyred Louis Dresnay and Liege to House Dresnay, outraged by the news of this missive began to make preparations to meet with his compatriots and peers on the news, "A great loss it is to not just the March, but the realm. It is time to call my banners."

As the Margrave of Stassion sat in his study reading the missive, he nodded, and also begun preparing for his assignment as an Ambassador!

A MARGRAVE’S RETURN Anno Domini 1947 THE END OF DOUBT, THE RETURN OF STASSION F I N I S D V B I I R E D I T V S S T A S S I O N “Well enough to stand, well enough to lead.” Richard Stassion to His Council. ☩ TO OUR FRIENDS OF THE REALM NEAR OR FAR, For some years now, the Margrave’s health has waned due to a bout of an unidentifiable virus or some other cause aiming to do him harm, but in recent Saint’s Days his mind and body have been reinvigorated. As days followed, his health slowly increasing, the Margrave began to leave his chambers and meander the halls of Castle Aurelian accompanied by his wife and children, enjoying their presence as his health improved without the burdens of leadership. In times away from them as the moon rose high above the horizon, his time was spent being caught up in the happenings of the world by his council whether he summoned them or not. It would be on the 6th of Godfey’s Triumph, 1947 that the Margrave of Stassion declared to his Household, Council, and People that his health be fully restored. Margrave Richard went on to state that he would be retaking the reins of leadership as he was sound in body and soul. As such it is formally decreed by this missive, any form of regency in the lands of the March of Stassion has ended and the Margrave is restored to his station in full. May GOD and Exalted Owyn guide us onwards on our path of righteousness and redemption in our quest to build anew. AVE STASSION. IN NOMINE LEONIS HIS HIGHNESS, Richard Leonus, Prince of Providentia Margrave of Stassion, Baron of Renzfeld, Lord of Fredericksburg, Protector of the Western Marches HER HIGHNESS, Ottavia of Pompourelia, Princess-Consort of Providentia, Margravine-Consort of Stassion, Baroness-Consort of Renzfeld, Lady of Fredericksburg

The Margrave of Stassion who had slowly been meandering the halls of his castle as his health improved, a confidant rushed over to him with the missive, he read it with a shake of the head, "How unfortunate."

The Margrave of Stassion smiled the Sun's Smile as a new family settled within his lands, while his illness kept him confined to his room and study, he cherished that his people grew evermore, "To new beginnings and prosperity, Ave Stassion."

After sifting through piles of letters in his study, Prince Richard Leonus Stassion saw one sealed with the wax seal of the House of Reuss, upon opening it to see he was invited to this debut, he was delighted to pen a letter back to the Lady Adelheid that he shall attend, "I look forward to such merriment!"

A certain dead Raev smiles to see his name live on!

Prince Richard smiled for his younger sister finding a proper man to marry, "I am glad she found someone suitable, I quite like Lord Edmond, a true man to call a friend and now soon to be brother!"

Prince Richard Novellen, Margrave of Stassion, frowns at the incorrect wording upon receiving his invitation to the wedding!

Prince Richard, Margrave of Stassion looked to his daughter momentarily saddened by her remark of having no friends, but smiled simply saying whilst looking between his wife and daughter, "I believe this to be a perfect occasion for young Aurelia to meet others and build long lasting friendships hm?" @Marshi @Eryane

The Margrave of Stassion who dwelled just beyond the borders of the Commonwealth nodded some at the missive, he looked to his daughter Aurelia, "Seems you cousin, my niece, is to be inheriting an entire kingdom, good for them." @Eryane

Some real based Anna posting fr.

The Patriarch of House Novellen, Prince Richard Leonus smiled greatly at these new beginnings even more excited to rejoice and celebrate with his kin, friends, and neighbors!

"Look at my neighbors go! Good for them!" commented Prince Richard Novellen, Margrave of Stassion!

Prince Richard Novellen looked to his father, Frederick Aurelian with a smile, "Aye, let us welcome this new era with open arms and plan for a prosperous future."

High above in the Seven Skies above the man who knew no peace in his blood felt a calm wash over him, he looked about unsure of where he was, for last he saw was him going down to rest for the evening, now before him stood his beloved wife Cressida. "Am I dreaming? Surely I am. You died, I was left to-." She stopped him before the Raev could utter another word, a simple smile was all that he could see. He paused as the realization settled in on his mind, the once wild Cossack regained that sense of calmness he had felt moments before, he returned the smile knowing GODANISTAN had welcomed him to paradise, Jan looked upon his wife, "It seems you have made good on our promise to find me, the promise we made to one another on those shores so long ago. No longer am I wild in blood and fury, I am at peace." Ser Jan Arpad Ivanovich, First Duke of Stran, 1891-1940.
