The Duchy of Prussia wrote:Count Maximillion ''Maxy'' Captured and Beheaded by King Gustav!
King Gustav's forces captured Maximillion, and King Gustav personally beheaded the traitor to the crown, declaring his Neice, Erika I, regent until Markos could assume the Throne. The Prussian forces have left behind 5,000 men to help maintain Terra Equestor while it re-builds, and the majority of the army marches North, to cheers of celebration by Terra Equestor. Due to conversions that occurred during the Prussian march, at least half of the population is now Catholic, and the Prussians ready for a Crusade.
Nevertheless, he will uphold the alliances to the two kingdoms as he would have if Timothy were alive today. His hopes are not entirely diminished, for he has heard news of the birth of Prince Markos.Equestor could've become something great, we should've become something great.
the Macedonian Rider-King reminisces,We would often talk of what his son's name would be. Timmy and I,
with that he laughed, a laughter so needed in this troubled nation...'E said that his boy would be either "Lukos the Lustrous, cuz his Illyria would be covered with the gold gained through trade in the Mediterranean. Or if times were tough, "Markos the Mighty" or "the Magnificent". Timmy must've known that times were gonna be sh*t, I just hope that Markos don't forget where he's from. I have half a mind to go see the little guy, I'm sure Andromeda won't mind. No doubt she's proving a handful for Paul

Silence and somber tears are felt throughout Macedonia. King Jason himself locks himself in his hall, weeping and lamenting the death of King Timothy, and Terra Equestor as he knew it. Though he knows that Basiliscus and Prussia are noble allies, he can't shake the feeling thatNevertheless, he will uphold the alliances to the two kingdoms as he would have if Timothy were alive today.

We welcome you with open arms, dear Jason!
I completely understand your grave situation, having lost friends and a nation in which you actually believed.
Dear Markos, my grandson, is all well. I'm pleased hearing you will come visit, can't wait to see you!
I am sure our alliance can continue, now that Terra Equestor is, basically, you. I am more than sure that The Duchy of Prussia will feel similarly about the topic.
Thank you, and may God be with you! See you...

Jason stated as he readied his humble chariotI'd like to see how Paul's been treating my girl
when asked if he minded a Catholic ruler sitting on the Throne of Illyricum he responded without hesitationBut first I'm going to see this "Eugene" who's callin' the shots in Illyria, see if I can help him out or anything. But I won't stay for long, cuz I'd like to go and see 'em as soon as possible!
With that, he hoisted himself onto the chariot, and made his way westward.As long as he doesn't pull a Maxy and kill all the Orthodox, then he's all right in my book. Hope he knows about the Council of the Fourteen. Or else he's gonna recive a long chat from yours truly. Speaking of, I wonder if, Bishop Alexandros is still hiding out in Rome? If so, he might come along and teach Marky how to speak Greek and the Orthodox teachings. It'd be what Timothy wanted, as long as Clyde don't mind.

Alexandros stated,No doubt the boy is baptized into the Catholic, and no doubt both the Regency and the Basilisculians will want him to be confirmed as a Catholic.
. The young Orthodox Reverend, who was a decedent of those Orthodox Christians who had fled like many others into Macedonia during the War before the First Crusade.But that does not mean that the young boy can't learn about his Orthodox subjects. My protege, Justinian will carry on my work as his adviser in the Council of the Fourteen. I hope His Majesty, King Clyde would forgive this "apostasy" so that Prince Markos will rule kindly and wisely to both Catholic and Orthodox Christians in Illyria.
He crossed himself in the matter of his fellow Orthodox priests, no doubt saying a quick prayer of thanks and a request for wisdomAt first, I thought that King Jason asked me to come along, since I was to become the Royal Chaplain. But being the tutor to the rightful heir of Timothy the Pious...
The three wait outside of the capital, incognito in order to avoid more zealous Catholics or assasins from killing them.It would be my honor and pleasure to see an Illyrian King upon the Throne in Equestor, no matter how menial my tasks may be. Not that there isn't anything wrong with the Regents, of course.
Jason repliedAnd also just to avoid the unnecessary pomp.
They have sent word to Andromeda, and await the invitation to enter the castle.I'm just a granddaddy going to see his daughter and her family, bringing along his two best friends. Nothin' too fancy about that.

Reverend Justinian:
Dear Jason, seeing you have arrived in my lands is fantastic, and I hope you like them. Rock Castle, that of Paul and Andromeda, is where you must go to meet your family. Trust me, everyone's very excited about meeting you again. Yes, Markos is Catholic, but I approve of him learning Orthodox ways too.
To rule fairly in Illyria, he must know all his people.
Welcome to Tyr-Basiliscus! Having you here is wonderful, and I can't wait to see you in the Rock Castle! Andromeda and little Markos are more than eager of seeing you... so be quick and reach us!
Going to the two priests... I accept them to teach Markos when he is old enough. To rule in Illyria, he must know and respect all cultures present there. We wait to embrace you.

Alexandros saidJustinian is younger than I,
The two Orthodox priests would converse about the political, religious, and future status of Prince Markos and Illyria as a nation.and my duty lies with my homeland. I must see to it that Catholic and Orthodox are united again, and to put the pains of the past behind them.
Justinian informed Prince PaulI will be staying by Markos's side until my death.
The two priests also brought with them heirlooms of Timothy, the Royal Signet Ring, the Cloak of the Knight Guardians, and Timothy's personal sword: Emblazon.I would also like to meet the Catholic spiritual adviser of the young Prince, so that way we can settle any issues by the time he is old enough to begin his education. I wish to fulfill my duty as not only the Royal Orthodox Chaplain and as a member of the Council of the Fourteen, but as his spiritual mentor as well.
Alexandros continuesWhile His Majesty enjoys a well earned reunion with his family,
he gestures to Prince Paul, Princess Andromeda, Markos, and King JasonWe shall represent Illyria abroad, for there is much to discuss. The status of the Council of the Fourteen, the future of the Guardians of the Gospel. It is these troublesome things we must speak with King Clyde about, and let the young

Dear Friends,
I am more than please that we shall cooperate for years into the future. Young Markos here needs to grow up properly, and the three of us, I am sure, are perfect for this task.
Still, Justinian, you have to remember that I am no youngster. I am closing in onto the sixties, and sadly my life will eventually finish. In Caen, these days, we are deep in talking about who will succeed me, but for now we still do not know. I will tell you as soon as I can.

Justinian proves Alexandros's last statement by asking Segentesse of the current political settings of the kingdom, and how much he knows of Illyria.It will largely be between you and Justinian. I shall live out the rest of my days making sure there is a kingdom for Markos to rule. I must place the duties of the Council of the Fourteen before my own desires. However Justinian is learned in scripture and sciences, and I have full confidence that Justinian will guide young Markos well.
Justinian pointed outBegging your pardon, Lord Segentesse, you are indeed learned from years of expirence. However, your I doubt you have experience of Illyria.
I mean no disrespect to you, but Illyrian Catholics may be different than Basiliscusian Catholics, due to culture and history. If I may be so bold as to request an Illyrian Catholic member of the Council to be your successor? You may go to Illyria, for Markos is still but a babe, and see for yourself what the young Prince shall inherit. That way you may choose the perfect tutor for young Markos. I am also concerned for the safety of Basiliscus, for there are rumors of war between the Romans and the French, I fear for the young Prince's safety as well as that of the Rouge family.

Marnier, in Southern Bretagne, is being built while I speak. This new city will be home to two universities, several libraries, astronomy centers, public debate zones and much much more. The universities, one specialized in Classical and the other in Science studies, will be state-of-the-art, and accessible to anyone of Catholic faith and who earns a place in it.
The libraries, the biggest of the known world, will have hundred of thousands of books, all meticulously hand-written by friars throughout the Known World. Those will be for anyone who wishes to read, and inside there will even by lessons hosted by great scholars of our Kingdom. Renowned scientists and astronomers will use our astronomical centers in Marnier, and our Kingdom will become so cultured and advanced... they will not even have a name for it!

Friend, I understand what you mean, and I fully share your feelings. I don't know many Illyrian Catholics, but surely they are different from us. In fact, some very valid candidates for my succession are Illyrian, but as I am sworn to secrecy for now I cannot tell you who they are. Still, you can be sure he will have a valid Illyrian mentor.

I believe there is a city called Mariner, that is to become a center for arts and science. Do you mind if I travel there with you, so that I may take notes in which to fulfill Timothy's dream of Illyria being a Mediterranean center of learning and commerce. Perhaps the young Prince would do well to live there and learn the necessities of governing and living in a culturally diverse city firsthand, if you believe it necessary. In fact, Alexandros and Jason shall leave via Mariner, so as to give them a sense of what is to come.

Friend,
This city, which goes by the name of Marnier, not Mariner, is still being built. Nonetheless, I would greatly enjoy visiting it with you, as I still have to see how the works are getting along.
I am afraid that young Markos and his family will remain living here in the Rock Castle. As you surely know, to ask a knight to move out of his castle is an arduous task, and I believe that Markos should stay in the castle until the age where he will start studying in Marnier.

He asked as the two sat down at a meager tavernTell me about yourself.
What prompts you to serve Prince Markos, aside from regal command? I wish to know about this country I shall live in until Markos is ready to rule. Let us talk of our countries and how we can help one another

I am bonded greatly to this Kingdom, to Clyde, and to Paul and Markos. When Prince Paul was nothing more than a toddler, and I was 36, he had fallen into a rushing river. Queen Caroline and I were the only people present, and without thinking about it twice I jumped in after him, saving his life. Since that day, the bond between us became stronger, and I was elected Royal Advisor.
What about you, Justinian? Tell me something about you!

Segentasse goes on to explain:I am bonded greatly to this Kingdom, to Clyde, and to Paul and Markos.

Segentasse stopped talking for a moment, merrily remembering the days when he, too, was young. Then, he continued:What about you, Justinian? Tell me something about you!
he laughedIts the same thing with myself and King Jason. I am technically Macedonian, having grown up in the court of King Jason, I was descended from those who fled King Leonidas's reign. I was a friend of King Timothy and we were confirmed at around the same time.
Justinian laughed again at the merry timesMaybe "friend" isn't the right word. More like childhood rivals. Nothing too bad, we'd race, spar, and try to out do each other in various ways. We could do anything that the other would do, except court Andromeda, that was apparently the right for another.
then he growled darklyYou might think it strange, a Prince engaging in petty rivalry with a commoner such as myself. I think the reason for it is to show Timothy how to be with the people, and how to take their interests to heart. When Timothy ascended the throne, I was present at the first meetings of the Council, and the Knights Guardians. I truly thought that Timothy would be the people's king.
a moment of silence occurredBut not everyone agreed with me. Maximilian, may his name be cursed, took advantage of Timothy's mistakes. His Majesty was still human! I can't tell you how horrifying it was. Seeing some of the very people who stood by you betray tou or be marched of to executions. I tried to help as many of my fellow Orthodox and Catholic sympathizers as possible, but I was captured. If Prussia hadn't come in and saved Illyria, I would have been burnt at the stake.
For my patriotism and bravery, I became the Royal Chaplain of King Jason. Now I am to help the future king of Illyria. Such a heavy responsibility frightens me..

My childhood days were tough ones, too. They were days when Northern France wasn't unified, and Saxons and Picts from Great Britain came down, doing massacre after massacre.
My whole family was murdered by those barbarians, but I managed surviving, probably by the hand of God.
You cannot understand how pleased I am to see, nowadays, that our Kingdom has managed unifying Northern France, and that The Kingdom of Verdmontia has unified Great Britain. Like this, the world is much safer, and barbarians are always blocked before they become a big problem.
How will you help young Markos grow into a good and fair leader?

People of the great city of Kent, for too long has mighty Verdmontia been threatened by hordes of savages, whether they be Nordic or Scot. Despite our efforts for total victory, the savages always escape, despite our efforts for peace, the savages prefer violence. This we must not tolerate, for we have the greatest army in the civilized world, it better be time that we put it to use. People of Kent, my plan is simple, we shall unite all England into a great state forever safe from savages and we shall kill all pagan heretical savages!

That I have no idea.

Dear Lad, don't discourage yourself like this! There is really no need for it. If Jason and Alexandros thought you are the right person to teach Markos, then let me tell you that they are surely correct.
I have great faith in you, and be sure that you will start being more secure in no time!
