Upon reading the missive, a certain Amiratus of Balian reminisces about the casual conversations he would have with the now late Rex. “Rest well comrade, Y hope you enjoyed mea pastries.”

A certain young Ivanovich lord reads the missive with a confused blink. He then shows the missive to his father, "Papej...Y niet heard of Oksana Marusya Ivanovich...ever...who jest?" (@Optimus420)

Gaius signed the Lorraine as he read the missive, a gentle sigh parting his lips. “A Countess and once Procurator dedicated to the service of Balian and to her own family…Y hope more of our Peers strive to be like her.” He remained silent for a few moments, standing up from his chair whilst he then murmured, “Rest well cousin…May you find peace in the seven skies with your husband.” The Ruthern would then begin preparing a trip to Acquillae to speak to his ward who is now the new Countess of Acquilae.

Dam 2 years already. What’s your favorite type of pizza?

Cesar II de Pelear would cheer alongside his twin sister, "YAY TIA!"

The little lord Istvan sat down upon the chair in the tavern, his gaze upon the empty table and then to the empty seat before him. "Y miss soup vy cook...Felden...", He muttered as he then brought his gaze down to the table again, glaring at it. Oh, how he missed the delicious smell of beef soup that Felden would cook for him at the tavern...

Gaius var Ruthern sent a letter in response to his Ivanovich cousin. Dear Jan, Yes he is I believe. He would be a distant relative of yours. His mother, the late Queen Yelena is a Ruthern and my aunt. Signed, Gaius var Ruthern

“These drawings are so adorable!” Gaius smiled at his children, Charlotte and Demetrius, “Y guess…being a dictator jest niet bad if you are a kind one.”

Gaius couldn't be ever the more optimistic and happier for the future of the Kingdom.

Eid Mubarak!

Gaius var Ruthern closed his eyes, a soft sigh escaping his lips. The Ruthern felt a feeling of hollowness as the news of Alexander's passing reached his ears. The first time the Baron of Marsana had met Alexander was with his sister at the gates of old Atrus. He was merely the age of six back then. Oh how have times passed. Now Gaius himself was a married man. Odd isn't it? To see the ones whom you have looked up to and known for all your life now slowly slip away from this world. "Rest in peace, Alexander...May GODAN see that you find peace in the seven skies. Your words of wisdom and rule of fair justice kept our nation together...it was an honor serving you."

I support radical pacifism.

István Mátyás Ivanovich couldn't be ever the more prouder for his Papej, Count Jan Ivanovich.

Wavey smiles at the world <3 for it’s a really beautiful place, one which he thinks we all have to cherish and protect.

Gaius var Ruthern’s lips curled into a warm smile as he read the missive. “Congratulations coz, congratulations to the both of you.” He marked the date on his calendar, making sure to attend the Crown-Prince’s and the Princess of Ba’as’s wedding.

Gaius var Ruthern nodded with a smile. The talks were a success. "For prosperity, defense and cooperation!"

Gaius var Ruthern is happy for his fellow peers and friends. He made note to deliver gifts to the Kervallen estate sometime soon.

Baron Gaius var Ruthern will miss his mentor and father-figure dearly. Oh how he had always encouraged him and pushed him to hone and sharpen his mind whilst striving for what is best for his beloved nation! The Baron made note to bake some pastries for his dear friend and take them to his home. Perhaps they could spend the rest of the day reminiscing about their time working alongside each other in the Duana?

Awesome work guys! <3

“Que? Tio Audo shaved his beard?!”, Cesar blinked in confusion towards the individual who had whispered the rumor to him. “But he still has a beard…”, Nevertheless, the little Prince shrugged. He then moved towards his twin sister Frisketa to deliver the rumor. “Keta! Escuché un rumor que Tio Audo saved a bear!”, Cesar II de Pelear was beginning to enjoy this game, even though he could barely remember what was being whispered to him.

Upon hearing the news the Baron of Marsana, Gaius Rosius var Ruthern signed the Lorraine before murmuring a soft prayer for the Musin. A sigh would then escape his lips, “You deserve a peaceful rest, komyn. Dravo and spasibo for all the humorous yet interesting conversations Y had with you.”

Gaius var Ruthern polishes his thanhic steel mace, ready to break some heretic bones.

"Boy do Y love Canonism!" A certain Ruthern would proclaim in the south.
