The mist grew thick in Haeseni lands as Alyona Godunov read the news of the raid with deep intrigue. Her lip quirked with a quip, before sipping her morning beverage. "Finally, something worth reading about. Ea was beginning to think mea mailbox would be full of pamphlets on ve cries of vampyre sympathisers." With a flare of her hand, she folded up the missive and went off to work; much to be done.

One of the newest friends to dear Princess Eirene, the Haeseni royal Isabel Theodora would not waste her opportunity to attend. From across the continent, the five year old stomped around the Esrova Prikaz demanding to the staff and her mother in particular on dress choices.

Roswitha followed suit. As Wolfgang's right wing, she made sure to collect all the eggs from the Amathine hen huts at the brisk of dawn; ready.

"There was nie rash decision in how ve missive was constructed, Malcolm." His wife, Alyona, replied; from her townhouse's balcony, she peeped over at the Amador house next door. In her arms, she soothed their crying babe Aleksei who would not dare to settle. "It was well-put. They still ought to get tested, but ea admire ve effort to put out word when all that is published currently is misconstrued lies."

The Duchess of Kvenoland, Princess Isabel, reserved one of her new horses for the princeling when his time comes.

A tired brow wiped sweat from her forehead. After moving the interiors around all year, Roswitha was finally done! Ah, alas. Now it was time to enjoy an Acrean Iced Black Tea whilst soaking in the Amathine sun.

thanks for ensuring crispy the fish came over safely across the ocean

The Lady Emissary read the news with no sudden expression of displeasure nor relief. Watching her young children play in her townhouse garden, she lit her pipe and let the smoke whirl into nothingness; Pax Canonis laid to rest on her lap. "Ea hope ve Reimarians enjoy their new steed." She mused with a soft snort, "Let us see how long this lasts, shall we? There was already uproar at ve meeting alone."

THE FIFTH NAME-DAY OF PRINCESS ISABEL THEODORA Issued by the ROYAL HOUSE OF BARBANOV-BIHAR On this 15th day of Gronna ag Droba of 485 E.S. VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK, From Princess Isabel’s first appearance during the sixth season of Lifstala, the citizens of Hanseti-Ruska have been eager to witness the youngling develop her character. Four years later and already, she bursts with enthusiasm with every skip she takes down the halls. In light of her fifth name-day, Her Royal Highness welcomes all from far and wide to celebrate with her in the Esrova Prikaz. Jubilation filled with sweet treats (all of her favourites, naturally), games, and music will be present for children and adults alike to mingle. She encourages all children to attend, for she is needing a plethora of friends to accompany her on her pending adventures. A tiered cake for Princess Isabel’s name-day will be catered by Little Acre Bakery, a once-Petran establishment now residing in the Crown of Amathine. With her interest in one day being an equestrian, the Duchess of Kvenoland asks that her only gift be a horse. If a number of horses are given, she herself shall test them all out to see which is better suited for her needs. It is also encouraged that any great horse riders across the realm come forward on this day, for the young princess seeks out a teacher.

The Lady Emissary of Haense was stacked with papers in her office, letting out a sigh of relief to see that the alliance with Amathine was published. Five down, muttered she. Alyona was hard at work.

As the daughter-in-law and Lady Emissary of Otto Gant's council, she recalled fondly the conversation she held with him after her first meeting with her ambassadors. It was rare she would ever talk to him in anything that wasn't politics, but the moment had stayed with her. Malcolm Gant was the subject - a friend then, husband now. Alyona scanned the missive with wide eyes, but she wasn't alarmed. Rather, it was the piece of advice she had needed for a long time. "Spasiba..." Was all she uttered, sliding the parchment into a book on her personal desk. He had taken a chance on her, a young and impressionable nineteen year old. Now was her chance to prove him right in his decision more than ever.

Merry was the newfound aunt and mother, Alyona Godunov, as she received word of her sister and niece's condition. She made sure to get together a little basket of goodies for the Rostig couple and their new born, tying it all together with a little grey ribbon resembling House Ruthern's colours. "Perhaps we shall have a little dinner soon, mrm?" Thought the baroness aloud, "So much has changed within ve last two years, we ought to catch up."

THE BIRTH OF THE BARONIAL CHILDREN ISSUED ON THE 6th of Wzuvar ag Byvca, 1931 | 6th of Horen's Calling, 1931 VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK, As dawn falls upon the realm this day, the Barony of Verskaya announces the birth of the first child and the beginning of a prosperous future. Long has it been since new life has graced House Godunov after decades of death and tragedy, and with it brings a beacon of hope. It was noted that after the birth of her son, Alyona lit a cigarette in celebration. He greatly resembles his father, Malcolm, in both temperament and appearance. The boy shall be named: His Lordship, ANATOLIY ILYA ALYOVICH GODUNOV, Heir to the Barony of Verskaya (@Caedis) The eldest son of the baronial couple will undergo lessons in etiquette, diplomacy, and politics after his tenth name day. When he is old enough and proves his capabilities in all three sectors, Anatoliy Ilya shall take the seat of his predecessors before him and serve the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska as the third in his position. Anatoliy was not the only child to be born on this day, for his younger sister arrived much to the family’s surprise, a quarter of an hour later. Cries in the house burst the eardrums of those present as she wailed endlessly, making her presence known. She shares a likeness to her mother, with large brown eyes curious of the world. The girl shall be named: Her Ladyship, SVETLANA MARIYA ALYOVNA GODUNOV (@zuza1102) May Godan bless the twins and their future endeavours, for He shall keep a watchful eye over them forevermore. SIGNED, Her Excellency, Alyona Rhetta Sviatovna Godunov, Lady Emissary of Hanseti-Ruska, Baroness of Verskaya His Lordship, Malcolm Sigmund Godunov Baron-consort of Verskaya

This had been a long time coming. She remembered it well, Alyona, the first time the Prince and her dear friend had met. The sweltering heats of the Balinaite desert blew no air as they crammed in the palace, and she had been first assigned to her post as Lady Emissar of Haense. Not even a few minutes gone to pay respects to the monarchs and they were mingling. Alyona had arrived back to talk to Aleksandra, and Heinrich was there; faint introductions in whirls of smoke, dissipating into nothing but a fond memory. Now did her invitation arrive, and the baroness opened it with a swell of pride. A hand went to her stomach as she read its contents. "Oh, Aleks. It was only so long ago that we were playing in Hoonse. Where did ve time go?" Alyona wondered aloud.

In the future, a young Princess Isabel would be befriending the Baruch heir; going off to frolic through the fields of Valwyck. For now however, the two year old merely gawked at all the new babies popping up everywhere. Oh, how she thanked her mother for being the oldest of them all by continuing to scream bloody murder in the palace.

She had been far too busy these last few months. After her own wedding, Alyona Godunov had been whisked around the continent of Georgia on a never-ending journey of diplomacy. Yet as she pondered on news of her own in her dwelling, an invite arrived. With her paper knife did she slice the envelope open and read aloud the contents: "The Baron of Rostig and the young Lady Katia Godunov..." The baroness put the parchment to her chest with an exhale, for she didn't need to bother reading further. Finally, she thought. Finally. Alyona had been waiting for this moment for a while - with patience, too. She needed a break, surely this would be it.

The sister of the debutante, Alyona, peered at the reviews. "She is to wed ve next Duke of Vidaus! Ea hope there would be intrigue to her mysteriousness." Chimed she, wide-eyed. "Dobry nevertheless..."
