Statement on the Attempted Assassination of Henry II
11th of Horen's Calling,1814
We have recently received news of an attempt on the life of the King of Haense, Henry II. Thankfully, King Henry survived the event, and those responsible have been captured or killed. Though the Haeseni investigation is still ongoing, it has become apparent to us that two Orenian nationals were implicated: Irene Sarkozy (a Haeseni-Orenian dual citizen and the estranged wife of the Imperial Archchancellor) and the now deceased Elizabeth Tuvyic, Countess-Consort of Dobrov.
The Imperial Government denounces the actions of these criminals, and asserts that assassination is never an ethical means of effecting political change. The Holy Orenian Empire offers its full cooperation to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska in the course of their investigation and prosecution of those responsible. Finally, we ask that the Orenian people offer their prayers for the wellbeing of the King of Haense and his family.
His Imperial Excellency, the Archchancellor
