Just come get drunk with us in the estate, Eirene. It's the best solution to all problems.

Relationship Note on Darren
On behalf of my wife, but not instead of her, I thank you.
Also, everything's far too complicated when it comes to family, so it's your turn to organise our next jolly jaunt. Try to make it so we're not held up by treasure hunters this time.

Relationship Note on Victus
We are ready ashore, as you will be at sea. That's all I need to know. Every ship that goes down, every enemy that falls for good, it is less power to our opponent for the years to come. We are prepared, and we now have a chance to accomplish this in droves. It is a sacrifice we make willingly.
Recognising a moment of brashness is the path to improvement. I have been far too prone to this my entire life. My father taught me as best he could and still I faltered.
For a man who has waged naval battles as efficiently and conclusively victorious as you have so far, I will not allow a moment of expression to result in a punishment, so help me god.

I, Talen Velenosa, Archduke Consort of Lenosia and Grand Duke Consort of the Lyceum declare this to be my final Will and testament. This Will invalidates any other documents of the same or similar nature when it comes to this matter.
- Archduchess Eleyna Velenosa: I leave a letter addressed accordingly in my Black Journals. Additionally, I leave the words, "Four is your high score - stop there."
- Prince Donato Velenosa: I leave a letter addressed accordingly in my Black Journals. Additionally, I leave the Lenosian diresnake hide and rubicund armour as well as the matching schiavona and stiletto blades.
- Princess Adriana Velenosa and Princess Luciana Velenosa: I leave a letter addressed accordingly to each in my Black Journals. Additionally, I leave my high quality steel armour, diamondplate sword and throwing knives which are to be held in trust until they duel over who gets what.
- Blacktongue Artiglio: I leave 'an intricate golden puzzle box, dented and streaked with black soot' and its contents.
- Princess Jaenelle Velenosa: I leave any tangible medals or awards made of precious metal or greater that have been provided to me posthumously.
- Princess Isolde Velenosa: I leave the words, "If he hurts you I will come back from the dead to kill him myself".
- Prince Alistair Velenosa: I leave the words, "If you hurt her I will come back from the dead to kill you myself".
- Prince Luca Velenosa: I leave the returned responsibility of any potential mass murders of avian creatures Princess Ophelia Velenosa will commit without supervision otherwise. Additionally I leave the words, "Get up, get up, you lazy lump."
- Prince Niccolo Velenosa: I leave the words, "I'll tell Giovanni you weren't the worst father to have been given to. Your lessons were invaluable, if not always welcomed."
- Brother Driskell Stillwater: I leave the words, "See you when I see you, friend."
- Baron Audric de Lire: I leave the outstanding balance of 12,731 Silver knights owed from countless 'get the round in and I'll pay you back later' moments. This should be given in the smallest denominations possible, ideally for a total of 127,310 Copper bits.
- High Lord Victus Thrax: I leave a Lenosian-class Caravel (toy), the Carlotta (mini), with full rights and ownership so that he might pretend he actually has one until he does.
- High Lord Darren Redrain and Princess Consort Donella Redrain: I leave the words, "I'm still not even sorry for what we did."
- Duchess Calista Fidante: I leave 'a non-descript box' and its contents. Additionally, I leave the words, "It's not empty this time. Probably."
- House Mazetti: I leave 'Chianti, a majestic black Ostrian horse'. Additionally, I leave the the words, "Best horse I ever owned, I only punched it a few times, still in good but used condition."
My Black Reflections are to be released at my death to Archduchess Eleyna Velenosa and Brother Driskell Stillwater. After a period of no less than seventy years has passed, the entirety of my Black Reflections may be released to the public.

Relationship Note on Duarte
Those who would cry foul of being called upon to answer for their "appearance of insubordination" should know that to bring the issue to light in private, without punishment, and to include one's direct liege is a proper and merciful courtesy. It is not shaming, it is guiding and it is what leaders do when they wish to keep matters grounded, rather than escalate them needlessly.
It is therefore my only assumption that Count Duarte Amadeo is apologising for being the one who was in truth too hasty, that he was afforded the opportunity to explain himself and failed to do so, and that any social faux pas is his alone to learn from.
So, once more, my lord? For the public record. Your challenge is rescinded and the above is correct, yes?

Relationship Note on Leola
Getting your hands dirty so that thousands are given a few vital moments extra is one of the most worthy and undersung moments in preparing for battle.
Dame Leola Allenatore is a credit to House Saik and House Malvici.
Should any be willing, their time in her company assisting her would be lauded.

Welcome to the Dad club. The first rule of Dad club, don't talk about the weird shit your kids do in the journals.
They'll grow up, kill you, and usurp you.
To be fair, in the Lycuem they might do that anyway.

The first Kennex I can tolerate. This man has shown that he can get his hands on information of use to others. Communicating it can sometimes be an issue but that's as much the receiver's fault as anyone's, sometimes.

You were voted in by the High Lords and approved by the King. As a Voice, I echo my Archduchess' commendation. Furthermore, I personally recognise you as the perfect person for this role, with all the burdens it entails.
Anyone who says otherwise and thus disagrees with the Grand Duchess of the Lyceum will know my wrath. A punch to the mouth might silence that dissent in a time where we can't have any.
Sail under the High Admiral and do it without disquiet. This is war. None of it is pleasant. Nothing will be to all our liking.
