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! 

What is your name? Wilhelmina De la Rosa

Senora Wilhelmina Rosa Wick 

A depiction of Senora Wilhelmina Wick, Dama de Honor to Princess Sofia de Pelear.

With the assimilation of young Senora Wilhelmina Wick to that of the Hyspian culture, her coming of age has come in the nick of time.

Having befriended Princess Sofia at a young age, she went on to stay by her side as her Dama de Honor or in common terms lady-in-waiting. Undergoing varying trials, she has come to prove herself, having this day to showcase what she has learned.

The young woman, having requested things to be kept simple, and simple it shall be.

A ball will be held tonight within the palace of Ciudad de Plata, where a celebration will be had.

May DIOS guide you!

Viva Hyspia!

Senora Wilhelmina Rosa Wick, Dama de Honor

A Fated Union

The Holy Union of 

Lady Ipera de Falstaff and Mister Sigismond Varoche

The couple's nuptials were held on a well-weathered day in 1891. Their holy matrimony was celebrated by Father Markos, the officiant. 

Following that, a private ceremony was held, which the families of de Falstaff, Varoche, and any other extended family and guests in attendance. 

The Union of Hearts

[!] A portrait of Ipera and Sigismond ahead of their union

The House of Varoche is happy to announce the Union of their eldest son, Mister Sigismond Petinax Varoche and his betrothed, Lady Ipera Antoinette Ashford de Falstaff. 

After five years of courtship, the two are ready to make their union permanent, under the watchful eye of The Creator, their friends, and fellow citizens of Sedan. 

The Union is to take place at the Basilica of Saint Alexander of Furnstock. The couple asks for no gifts, and that your presence is enough of a gift to them.

Special Invitations Addressed to: 

Ser Aurion Aretheon & His Pedigree @X3N02k

Miss Giovanna Florentino @Oriaros

Lady Laurelai Holly Komnenos @MapleSunflower

Crown Prince Joseph & His Pedigree @Dogged

Even though she's sad that her play wasn't chosen for entertainment, Ipera decided to put her skills to the test! 

[!] A missive would be sent out to the general public of Karosgrad in a dinged parchment. The words would be written carefully in a black ink that stained to the back of the paper.

To The Royal Family of Barbanov and whom it may concern,

For those who may not know me, my name is Ipera Antionette Ashford de Falstaff. In recent times, I have done many unsavory things, reflecting poorly on my family and Her Highness. 

Though it is not my place to go into specifics into what happened between the Princess and I, that is for her to publicize how she deems fit, I do wish to issue the sincerest of apologizes. I spoke out of turn, and above my rank, to someone who deserves respect of the highest degree. 

To Her Royal Highness,I was a provoker, and caused you to lash out. It was not your fault, you were just acting in reaction to my improper actions. You had every right to be emotional and should not be ridiculed by the public for anything you may have said or did to me in this time. I am sorry for pushing you. I do hope that we can work through this and eventually regain the friendship we held when we first met.

To His Serene Highness, I should have not spoken the way that I did to you, even if it was in private. It was unsightly of me and I am very grateful that you did not publicize what I did say. I hold our friendship in high regard and I am thankful that that friendship has remained intact.

However, I do wish to clarify some misconceptions, I did NOT steal His Serene Highness’s circlet. I removed it from his head and joked around with him, and immediately returned it once he asked for it. The crown never left the palace or His Serene Highness’s sight. This was blown out of proportions by an unnamed source stating that they saw me trying to take it once before, which is false.Through my clarity I do not wish to continue this quarrel however my words are ment to put an end to this more than anything else.

Signed,

Ipera Antionette Ashford de Falstaff 

Mal looked at the letter, taking a deep breath, "No, this can't be real..." He ripped the letter up and wipe a single tear from his cheek. 

In the wee hours of the morning, Locke took her final breath. Before this, she gave Amura, the only person present at her passing, a stack of letters.

Dear Parent,

I am sorry that I didn’t tell you I was sick. To be completely honest, I didn’t tell anyone. I wanted to be allowed to live my last few months exactly as I left the many years before.

I had always envied you for being an elf and being able to live forever. Ironic that now I’ll never have to grow old.

Thank you for being my parent. Genuinely. For the first 19 years of my life I didn’t have that. You allowed an overcautious, overbearing teen who was more of a problem than anything else into your life and let her scream at you, cause problems, cry into your shoulder and laugh when I was happy. You made me into more than I ever thought I would be, and I can never repay you.

Please take care of yourself. Continue to love unconditionally and care deeply for those you hold dearest. You’ll never know when or who may need it most.

-Locke Brook

Dear Oliver,

I am sorry that I didn’t tell you I was sick. To be completely honest, I didn’t tell anyone. I wanted to be allowed to live my last few months exactly as I left the many years before.

I remember the first time we met. We were both young and you couldn’t even speak. I found you so fascinating for some reason. So I pushed on you until you became my friend. I’m so glad you did.

We had our fair share of low moments in our relationship, but the good parts were so good it was almost easy to forget the bad. I remember at our wedding you were so nervous you didn’t even say vows. Honestly I couldn’t give a **** about whether or not you said any vows because I knew that what we had was special. I’m so thankful you were the love of my life, my fierce protector, and the father of my children.

Hold those children tightly. Love them endlessly. Remind them how much Mom loved them too. If they ask, tell them about me, from my highest highs to my lowest lows, because we both know I had both.

As for you, never stop fighting for what you believe in, even if our opinions did differ frequently. Your passion for things you cared about was always one thing I loved about you most.

-Locke

The Kids 

Floris, Aspen (@generi), and Angela ,

I would write all three of you a separate letter but I almost feel like I don’t know you all well enough to write you personally.

I absolutely hate that I am not going to be here to watch you grow up. I’m going to miss you all becoming yourselves, independent from what your father and I tried to force upon you. Speaking of which, I’m sorry if you feel like I was too hard on you three. I didn’t want you to end up like I did. Alone. Desperate. On the run.

I ALWAYS wanted to be a mom. Ask anyone. I would go around Elysium and find kids who needed help and help them. It brought me a great joy. That’s what the safe house was supposed to be. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more joy than when I had you three.

Floris: Keep being you. Jump into the Elysium fountain with reckless abandon and remember that even though I grounded you for it I always thought it was funny.

Aspen: You are more than your wheelchair. I know that you’re shy, and that is something that you’ll have to overcome, but I know that you are going to do amazing things in whatever you do.

Angela: My little wild child. I know that you always had a weird aversion to me, mostly because I was overbearing. I can assure you, it was never me trying to knock you down, it was always to keep you safe. But now, you can go get that castle. I’ll be your biggest supporter.

I love you all dearly, and I will continue too long after I am gone. Listen to your dad, love and support each other.

Mom

Vunlea (@lilbeantoes),

Lea. My dear sister.

I am so glad to have found you. I was an only child the first nineteen years of my life and I had always wanted someone to confide in. I was so lucky to have you be that for me.

I always tried to be your best friend, and the best confidant I could be for you. I wanted to be annoying when you liked boys but also be there to help you. I just hope I was able to be all of that for you. You were that for me.

You were always so fun to be around because you spoke your mind, no matter who you were talking to, whether it be your best friend or worst enemy. I hope you always do that. Be strong.

Love you always.

Locke

Andora (@generi),

I watched you grow up from a child into a beautiful young woman.

I believe the first time we ever met was when you asked me to be the officiant for your frog’s wedding. I thought about how much you reminded me of me when I was your age. Honestly now, I hope you turn out nothing like me.

Thank you for saving my life on that rooftop. At least it gave me a few more years with my family.
