Helene is rather confused at the missive as she sits in the stables with her horses. She hasn’t seen Adrian since she was 14 other than briefly for her 18th birthday. The two didn’t even carry a conversation. Rather so, she also wonders if the Heartlanders considered her so dim-minded that she would hand out her own missives so loudly and publicly, especially if Bel Aurum wishes to keep themselves secret.

Maxima Falkner reads over the missive, smiling at the paper, "You are extremely gifted Boat Man." She tells him, before running off to go look for her daughter.

An old portrait of Renilde Helena and a small Helene-Olympe, frolicking through the gardens of Courteis Hale, circa Atstana de Regne Petrère 114 9th of Harren’s Folley, Atstana de Regne Petrère 126 Freyde from Courteis Hale in the Province of Petra! I, Helene-Olympe of the Petra, come with advice and insight for individuals who intend to appear at my coming-of-age get-together later this year. For those of us that wish to keep our conversations ever more private at large social gatherings, I come to you with a quick and simple guide to the Flyeur Tongua (Floral Language). The first thing one must realize is that not only are the flowers themselves a message, but also the manner in which the flowers are displayed and presented to the possible suitor, friend, or foe. - If you present the flowers with your right hand, it is an affirmative ‘yes’ to whatever question might be looming between the pair, but a left-handed handoff is a definite ‘no’. - If flowers are presented upside down, they are to be believed to mean the very opposite of the flower’s original message. Ribbons are also important in meaning!: - A ribbon with a bow tied onto the left means that the message portrayed is symbolic of the giver. - A ribbon with a bow tied onto the right means that the sentiment portrayed is symbolic of the receiver. And as if it weren’t obvious, a wilted flower or bouquet is a rather brash statement! It is to symbolize hatred towards the receiver. Now, a quick guide to some of the most popular flowers and their meaning to prepare for your next outing in the rip-roaring wilderness we call society! Ie Ald Reinya's Neras Hortu (The Old Queen’s Little Garden) Since the construction of Courteis Hale, Grandmama and I have spent a good portion of our mornings and evenings nurturing this garden, from bud to blossom, much like the terms that my Grandmama uses to describe her upbringing of myself. On the evening of my debut jamboree, we have chosen to share the beauty of our garden with you, our guests, where you may pick the exotic flowers of ie Ald Reinya’s Nera Hortu, and gift them to another – or keep them for yourself! There is no judgment with the temptation of a garden so vast.

Helene looks over the missive Monika had presented her with a curious glance. She hadn't realized just how many people saw her Father's... punishment, but apparently a lot more were going to know of the conduct. Fair play, author. Fair play.

Carice is confused, considering that she didn’t even know that she had familial relations to Vuiller…

Carice rubbed at her throat gently as she read the missive, tracing the thick scar that had been slit by the very man that was being written about. She had grown in emotional control in the years after the attack, but she couldn’t help but smile at the fact that these men had finally gotten punished.

A Grievance With the Legal Proceeding in Haense [!] A missive is hung around Haense. It is written in delicate and expressive handwriting. As a young, hopeful lawyer, I was more than excited to see a Haense trial, especially one of this status. I was dazzled by the concept of this mighty empire and what their system could bring. The problem with this is that I was instead given the opposite, a hodge-podge of a trial, complete with a Soldier as a judge and a Lady Justiciar as a silent plaintiff. By the time the trial was completed, I felt 10 years older, and no closer to actual justice. I made a list of things I noticed at time of trial: I. The Judge, Atilan Bishop, decided that his line of questioning was more important than that of the Plaintiff or Defense Lawyers. Adele Ludovar haven fallen completely silent by the final witness, Callista Santos, who wasn’t even aware she’d be asked onto the witness stand. II. Multiple people were speaking as witnesses at once during the questioning. Some were even going as far as to yell from the peanut gallery. III. There was no distinct Direct or Cross examination with any of the witnesses, leading to an almost impossible time for anyone to understand what was happening. IV. The lawyer’s objections were never followed by a distinctive explanation of what the objection was. It was just “Objection!” instead of “Hearsay” or “Lack of Foundation”. V. A piece of evidence was brought forth by the Defendant themselves, not the Defense, leading to a complete 180 of court proceedings. VI. Two of the three summoned Defendants were not even in attendance of the trial, possibly leaving out vital parts of the Defenses case, or even the Plaintiff’s for that matter. VII. Due to unforeseen circumstances, a final verdict was not even given to the court, instead secretly given to the Defense and Plaintiff. VIII. On the original court order issued by the Lady Justiciar, there were five distinct charges being brought against the defendants. Only two were even touched upon in court, meaning that the entire trial could be considered a mistrial. IX. Defendant Alejandro Sands was charged with Negligence, which was not even a charge mentioned in the original order. This would call for a completely different trial. X. Judge Atilan Bishop has no formative training as a judge, and it was painfully obvious through this trial. This is not to be a slandering of the Haense legal system as a whole, more-so how the trial in which I was attending was handled. The Lady Justiciar should choose to be a judge or a lawyer, or at the very least provide a somewhat competent lawyer to hold the proceedings of such a sensitive trial. If I was given the chance to give my full opinion and have it matter (of which I know this missive will do little) I would call this trial a mistrial and hold one when all involved could be more prepared, with a true judge and legal representation for both sides.

Hey! I dont know if you’re still taking people, but I’d be super interested!
