"Oh how beautiful!" the Princess Royal of Aaun nodded to her father as she stared at the map from over his shoulder.

Adeline smiles at the invitation her father had received, a little upset she did not receive one though

Lothar d'Amaury glances at an unsigned flyer, scanning through it intently. He lets out a chuckle before glancing at the fellow Knights.

 

"It is interesting to see that the Adriatic people, once unified in their cause now grow fragmented and resentful of their liege lord. They are boastful of their ignorance to their history and ancestry but perhaps that is what they need to recall in times such as these. Do they forget the burning of Brelus? Or the sack of Barrowyck?"

 

Lothar d'Amaury would heave a sigh, performing the Lorraine cross over his chest.

 

"I pray these 'Men' find their courage. These are not the Adrians I recall reading of in the wars of Augustus."

Cecelia d'Amaury smiled at her brothers wise words as she too signed the Lorraine cross over her chest  "The stories made them out to be much more fierce than what we have heard in this present day...I'd much rather come face to face with those mori soldiers I keep hearing of"

The Countess of Aldersberg smiled as she read the missive. "Perhaps I should invite Allessandra over for tea, its been ages since we saw eachother"

"When were older!" 

The memory replayed in the Princess royals vision. The first time she had met Anatoily Godunov, and how he showed her around his ancestoral home. She sighed as she opened her bottle of wine, already in her mourning attire as her grandfather had not even been gone a year.

When they were older...

When they were older, Adeline, Anatoily and Mariya plan to finally explore the Witches hut that lingered on that cliffside. By then they would all be successful and brave enough to enter that crones doorway.

Though when she grew older, Adeline was all that remained. Sitting on that cliffside drinking her wine...Alone

The Countess of Aldersberg looked at the invitation and simply tossed it into the fireplace alongside the rest of her True Aldersberg family.

HER EXCELLENCY, Cressida of Aldersberg, Chamberlain of Aaun, Countess of Aldersberg. 

The Princess Royal sat quietly within her new Quarters, after she had finally been forced from her grandfathers rooms. Tears flowing from her eyes , she clutched the Tartan that Charlie had given to her tightly as she stared at the missive,  He was the only one she could share her adventures with and not be scolded for she was his little Dragon that could not be tamed.

Adeline is also rather confused..

"I shall pick out my best Nightgown!" Princess Adeline smiled, placing the letter down on her dresser as she began searching through her luggage

The Margravine- Emeritus smiled, reading the missive as she sat in the middle of the Arentainian alps, overlooking one of the many valley's "She is happy..." the finally retired woman hummed quietly to herself as she unsheathed her sword placing it neatly next to her upon the bench she was seated "I am coming home my love" Her usually melancholic expression had changed as a feeling of content washed over her as she walked closer to the side "Finally, We are to be reunited" Guinevere nodded to herself for last time before stepping off. Leaving nothing but her legacy behind her.

Listen here you reprobate - I'm not playing right now, nor would I be with Adria if I was. I was a Petra player, and I would join @Josey in Elvenesse if I was active. Your only crusade here is putting words in my mouth I've not said. I don't give a **** about Adria, a **** about Blackvale, and lumping me in with them is frankly stupid. I wouldn't be with Aaun either. You derailed this thread, so enjoy the just desserts. Own up to the things you say and do, I make no pretense to say that I've never said anything bad, but watching you and others on here parrot these talking points while being the craven, spineless creatures you are is hilarious to me.

 

There are pages upon pages of these screenshots everywhere. Enjoy your peek before my comment is inevitably hidden, but it's hilarious watching you try and accuse me of even taking a stance when I am of the mindset that r8pe threats of any kind are horrific. 

I have more respect for Muna and MissToni than I have for you, you weasel. 

In the mindset that its horrific? then go argue about your fued somewhere else...No one ******* cares.

"They beg for peace...we offer peace....they beg for war, and we are the tyrants?" Cressida rolled her eyes, simply going back to her routines

Cressida of Aldersberg would sit and smile, excited to attend many of the shows

A certain Ivanovich, who isn't even truly a thought just yet upon her parents minds is glad her brother is born, as it means she was one step closer to being born and releasing hell upon these turbulent lands.

Little did the Ivanovich girl know her mother would be with child again a mere month later!
