Palais de Royal Rouge, Windensen, Pierreland

Footman: The Grand Duke of Anjou Your Imperial Majesty. David: Thank you. Felipe, take a seat. Felipe: I'd rather not. David: This is going to take a while Felipe.

Felipe: What is there to say? Edmund told me everything. Stripping me and my children of my titles and estates, my order of the lion, my stipend...let's just sign and get it over with. David: I want you to understand why I've done this. You broke the law. You've practically ruined relations with the Ionian Union. I want your word that you aren't going to say anything about the parentage of Prince Lenerd of the IU. Felipe: Where do I sign? David: Felipe. Your Word.

Felipe[flippantly]: Yes. Yes. I won't say anything about the baby. Is this what you do father? Bargain people into silence? David: Felipe, what are you talking about? I just want to ensure that you will at the very least not spill family secrets- Felipe: Who else did you make this kind of deal with over the death of Ben? I knew you were angry but I didn't peg you for a murderer.

David: What has gotten into you Felipe? Ben was sentenced to death over thirty years ago and he chose the firing squad. That is the truth. Those are the facts. I know you are angry but you are letting it cloud your judgment and your simtube history since you are believing such conspiratorial nonsense! Felipe: Conspiratorial nonsense HA! Anything that goes against you is conspiratorial. May I remind you, this is not Francesim as much as you try to make it so... You do not control the press nor public opinion. David: Which due to your actions, will tank in the future. You are not sorry for this are you?

Felipe: It's always been about perception for you...Watcher it's fucking annoying. David: Watch your tone.

David: You are being ridiculous. You do realize that I claimed you. Which I did not have to do by the way, it was done out of love, not perception. [sighing] You will never understand the things I have done for the Empire. For the Family and you never will. because you will never have to be the emperor! Felipe: because I'm a bastard. Like the baby. except at least he gets to be a prince. David: For fucks sake is this what it's all about?

Felipe: No. Yes...it's about everything! The secrets. The lies. The fact that you seem to put Louis above everyone. I'm your eldest son! David: And Louis is the heir to the throne. I'm sorry Felipe, that I am putting Louis ahead of you. I won't deny that I am because it is the truth because one day, he is going to have to shoulder the empire and frankly, he and I may not have enough time so that I can pass the lessons of the trade to him. The Emperor as a role is supposed to be above scandal. That is why my first instinct was to suppress the letter. It was the same instinct my private secretary had with you all those years ago...except I changed my mind then...and I had changed my mind that next day.

Felipe: Then why not announce it to the world. David: Because you, dear boy, wrote that letter and had it mailed. Letters between monarchs move fast in Europesim. When you also burned the original, you backed me into a corner. Felipe[muttering]: You mean your pride backed you in.

David: And your pride in being a councilor of state pushed you to commit crimes Felipe. CRIMES. You are lucky I do not want to have your sons visit you behind bars. Felipe: Prison is a dangerous place for someone who goes against you. Since you.killed.Ben. [SLAM]

David: I.did.not. This insinuation you are making is treasonous and frankly, you are pushing the limits of my empathy for your wives and children. Are we clear Felipe? Felipe: Father I- David: Are we clear?? Felipe: We're clear... David: Very good.

Felipe: Papa I- David: The world will be told that you willingly gave up your titles and that you are moving to Simnovia with your family. Go before I change my mind.

Eagle Hall, Pierreland

Edmund: Renounce your titles. Return your Order of the Lion. And banishment from Papa's presence until he decides to allow you back. Felipe [scoffing]: And his grandsons? Edmund: Jasper and Matt are more than welcome as well as Elisabeth and Priyanka. His anger is with you. Not them.

Felipe: A little steep huh? Edmund: Be lucky it isn't treason. Felipe: Treason? Really? Edmund: Forging the Emperor's signature. Destroying diplomatic correspondence. That is textbook treason. And you are lucky Papa is deciding to not have you arrested.

Felipe: Arresting me for doing what he wanted? Edmund: You didn't know that. Felipe: He said it! Edmund: And yet he wanted to sleep on it! Felipe, you commited a crime. Accept your punishment. At least, there is a way back for you with this! Felipe: What if I don't want a way back? Have you not heard the rumors about Papa? That he-

Edmund: Don't tell me you believe that shit Felipe. Just cause your pissed- Felipe: Believe what you want Ed. Edmund [sighing]: Just....Meet with Papa when he summons you. And...you'll be following those terms, one way or another.

A Private Park, Island of Anjou

TW: Discussions of violence, gun mention, and potential past murder

Felipe: Huh...whose this?

Felipe: Hello?

???: Felipe Valois?

Felipe: Yes? Who is this?

???: An ally. I have some information about your father.

Felipe: What kind of information?

???: Information that if it comes out, it'd damage the monarchy forever.

Felipe: What makes you think I'd want that information?

???: You are on the outs with the family. Your father has nothing but distain for you. Why not hit him where it hurts?

Felipe: I'm listening

???: The official story about happened to the murderer of your grandfather is just that a story. Ask your father about how it felt to pull the trigger.

Felipe: He'd never-

???: How do you know?

Felipe: I know my father. He may have a temper but he isn't a murderer.

???: Do you really know him then? [Click]

Can't Hit Control+Z

The Emperor's Office

David: Kat...have you seen the letter from Eloise? Katalina: So you can ruin a baby's life? David [groaning]: Kat...please...it's what's best for our son...he isn't ready for fatherhood, as I know from experience... Katalina: No...I thought it was in your in your pile of inbound mail? David: I thought so too...but it's not here..it was on the top of the pile cause I was going to answer it today.. Katalina: Did you ask staff? David: I did...one of them said Felipe handed them an envelope Katalina: Call Felipe... David: yeah...he has some answers to give us.

Moments later

Felipe: Hello Papa and Mama. The Aide sounded urgent on the phone what's- David: The letter. Where is it? Felipe: What letter? Katalina: Felipe...don't be coy. There was a letter here...where is it. Felipe: I don't know-

David: Don't lie to me boy! Where is it! Felipe: I don't know! David: You were the last one in here yesterday! You saw it didn't you? Felipe: Maybe a staff member took it! David: None of them did. Yet someone said you handed them a letter.

Katalina: David...you're squeezing- David: What. Did. You. Do. Felipe. Felipe: I didn't- David: DON'T LIE TO ME!

Felipe: Okay...I saw it.... David: and Felipe: I...I burned it... David: YOU WHAT? Felipe: And I wrote a response.. Katalina: Felipe....you've done things that have disappointed us before but this is a whole other level..

David: How dare you! What were you thinking- Katalina: He clearly wasn't thinking. David: This was not your right! It was mine. As Emperor. As Louis's Father. The person the letter was addressed to!

Felipe: But this is what you wanted right Papa? Louis isn't ready. I just decided to ease your guilt and fulfill your wishes because I'm sure Mama has tried to convince you otherwise Katalina: Damn right I have. But this is too far Felipe.

Felipe: I was doing right by my brother! Katalina: You comitted a crime. You foraged your father's handwriting on something of international consequenses. This isn't some permission slip! David: You...are very lucky, that I do not wish to cause this family scandal and leave your boys fatherless. Felipe: What are you saying Papa? David: Get out of my sight. You will only be allowed to attend family functions, you will no longer be able to be a working member of the family and You are no longer a Councilor of State. Felipe: But Papa- David: GET OUT! [A set of doors slam shut]

David: Where did I go wrong? Katalina: That was his decision. He's a grown man and he made a choice, let him lie in it.

Katalina: Is there a way for us to recall that letter? Or to write another, telling Eloise of this situation? David: I'm afraid not Kat...the letter must have already reached the Ionian Union due to it being priority Imperial correspondence. Katalina: David...surely this can be undone!

David: I don't think so Kat....I'm afraid that chance went up in smoke with the letter...

The Grand Ducal Wedding Part 1

Bordeaux Abbey, Violette, Bordeaux

Pierrelander Anchor: Goood Morning to viewers from all around the simverse especially our friends from the Kingdom of Carrington! I’m Pierre Pepin from Good Morning Pierreland and I’m joined by my friend from Wake Up Carrington, Sophie Carter to celebrate the wedding that is taking Carlisle and Bordeaux by storm! The wedding of His Grace The Grand Duke of Bordeaux to Her Highness the Duchess of Carlisle! Good Morning Sophie!

Sophie: Good Morning Pierre! Thank you for allowing me and the Carrington join you for such a lovely wedding! Now we are experiencing nothing but blue skies and sunshine for the happy couple who we have been watching be deeply in love for months now with the pair deciding to take a very long engagement. But judging by the venue, I think it was worth the wait!

Pierre: That’s right Sophie! Unlike the wedding of the Grand Duke’s younger twin sister which took place at the church their parents, Duke Jeffery and Duchess Cecile, married in. The Grand Duke has opted to take up the family tradition of marrying in Bordeaux Abbey which was built in the 1500s by the first Duke of Bordeaux!

Sophie: That is fascinating! Today hopes to be a blend of both Carrington and Pierreland traditions as we see these lovebirds walk up the aisle!

Pierre: And speaking of traditions, we just have received news from Palais de Royal Rouge, home to Emperor David, in conjunction with Nimben Palace, home to Queen Anastasia, that the pair will be combining their titles! While in Carrington the pair will be known as Their Highness’s the Duchess and Duke Consort of Carlisle but in Pierreland they shall be known as Their Highness’s The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Bordeaux. Phew that is a mouthful!

Sophie: it is Pierre! I do love that Grand Duke Edmund will be just a Duke Consort in Carrington, it speaks to his supportiveness of his soon to be wife. Now I wonder what will happen with the titles of their children?

Pierre: That is a Great Question that will have to wait because Guests are now arriving at Bordeaux Abbey!

Pierre: And first to arrive are TIH the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Siene! The lovely older couple are the parents of HRH the Crown Princess of Lunaria who is Grand Duke Edmund’s godmother. It is reported that the Crown Princess does send her best wishes to her godson. Did you know that the young Grand Duke was apart of her bridal party!

Sophie: that is so sweet! It is a bit of a bummer that we won’t get a dose of Minicolas however, Minnie’s parents look lovely and matching in their green hue, we love a bright cheery green! And behind them appears to be TIH Prince Anthony and Lord Consort Nashville!

Pierre: I adore them, the seem to be deep in thought with Lord Consort Nashville opting to not wear military uniform and to go with a tan suit. A smart choice! I also love that the husbands have the salt and pepper look as well as the beards! Such a handsome couple!

Sophie: And behind them is Mr. Marcos Sepulveda, the Empress’s Father and a defacto grandfather to the Grand Duke! He appears to be holding his cane but not using it as he strongly walks into the abbey.

Pierre: Pierrelanders do love the former Prime Minster. We have heard of some small health scares with him so we do wish him best!

Sophie: And we are going to quickly pan to the main entrance to the abbey, to see the arrival of the Groom and his best man! This is all very exciting! Pierre, can you give us a rundown of the two uniforms we have on show today!

Pierre: I will Sophie! The Grand Duke of Bordeaux has opted for the formal uniform of the Imperial Airforce with his service beret due to him being apart of the Helicopter Corps. It does appear that the Grand Duke of Bordeaux also has on his Dark Green sash. This is to signify that he is also Colonel in Chief of the Bordeaux Brigade in the  Imperial Army. There were rumors that he was going to marry in the traditional kilted garb of the Brigade but the IAF uniform was a clear front runner. The Grand Duke of Anjou, who is on best man duty today, is in his Imperial Navy darks, much different than his own wedding where he was in his Imperial Navy whites. He very much fits the tone of todays celebrations and it is noted that both men are swordless today which again, comes as a surprise to some but honestly. Swords do get heavy.
