Henrietta Theresé Helvets, b. 1825 - d. 1857 How puzzling Henrietta Helvets had always been, an imperfect piece of porcelain that could never be polished quite right. She had always understood she wouldn’t be akin to one of the maidens in the fables, written with an immaculate ending. There was always going to be something much darker in store for her. That was an indisputable fact. The matter of her death was utterly ironic, almost as if her demise was prophesied years before. She died alone in the mud, her blood pooling beneath her and seeping into the very earth she had once called home. She had died with onlookers idly peering upon her fragile form as she struggled to retain a hold on her vitality. Just as someone she once knew. She recalled a voice, a murmur barely above that of a whisper which spoke to her, a calloused hand caressing her blood-stained cheek. "Etta, please," he uttered, jaw clenched as tears rolled down his cheeks. "I'm sorry.” [!] This is information unknown to the public, please do not metagame this part of the post. The information released to Haense and Henrietta’s relatives can be found beneath, ‘Missive from Cathalon’. "She had been to visit me," Cried Henrietta's younger sister, Laurentina. "She was attacked by a bandit, she died to protect me!" To the Kingdom of Haense, It is with deep regret that we must inform you of the attack and following passing of Princess Dowager Henrietta of Alban. On the 16th of the Amber Cold of the year 1856, the Lady Laurentina of Cathalon was receiving house calls in lieu of the Astercalia. The gates to the estate were open for that reason and anyone could enter the grounds. Princess Henrietta visited to offer her youngest sister support and advice. They were in the gardens when suddenly, an armed man on horseback rode in and threatened the both of them. Princess Henrietta ushered her younger sister behind herself and a fight with the unknown assailant ensued. The commotion drew out the Heir to the Duchy of Cathalon, Helton Rhodes Helvets. He drew his blade just as Princess Henrietta fell to the ground, a gashing wound upon her head. The screaming, and Helton approaching with a weapon in hand, made the unknown attacker flee the scene. Lady Laurentina swung on her horse and went to the Imperial City of New Providence for help as Lord Helton remained to try and stop Henrietta from bleeding. As Lady Laurentina returned with a soldier and a medic, only the death of the Princess Dowager could be confirmed. With this letter comes the body of our beloved daughter and sister in the hopes that you may let her rest near her late husband. We also ask that you kind people of Haense care for Princess Henrietta's two children or allow us to take them in and care for them instead. We also ask you to pray for our departed sister and to keep her in your hearts as we will do the same. Faithfully, and with wishes of our condolences, Lady Laurentina Marigold Helvets
