Relationship Note on Victus
Everyone makes mistakes. You may have made one, but rest assured of this, High Lord:
The storm was already coming. Maybe it wouldn't have come for another week, maybe not for another month.
All you did was bring it to us when we are at our strongest.
What challenges we may face, henceforth, are not of your design.
And we will overcome them.

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 have remained silent up until now. I'm just a tailor. But I've been watching from my Lighthouse and feel compelled to say something to be recorded for the ages.
Apologies are meaningless unless they prompt new action.
Abbas Crownsworn (once Thrax) was exiled for his foolish actions, though what he did was in misguided defense of the Compact.
High Lord Victus Thrax has done something ELSE (again!) very foolish without a thought to the safety of the Compact and the consequences we all now face.
What will his consequence be? An apology in a white journal? It's not enough. Is exile too much? Maybe. But this ought not to be brushed off.

Thank you, High Lord. I needed that.
I'll make sure the next release has more steamy scenes in it. Although, my next release .. well, let's just say it's book about a specific royal in the city, but I'm sure they won't mind if I spice things up.

I think there's validity in words that are not sugarcoated.
All I meant is that I wish one of your family members had come! I think Thrax would have added interesting thoughts and views to the conversation that we lacked. Big words or small.

My husband corrects me.
That is fine. For I was wrong.
But he now owes me a new dress before he sails to war.
And his daughter one as well.
She likes white like her mother.

Victus
I wrote you a letter like this the last time, freshly married and watching you set to sail from the docks and waiting till the Serpent disappeared from sight. I will do this again, only I will have Astrid with me.
Return to us. I have no doubt that should something befell you, I can hold this house together with those that you have surrounded us by. I have no doubt that we will serve these people well and they us, till she is old enough to do so herself. But I would prefer that I did not have to. Nor that she grow up without you to teach her how to walk that line between what it is to be Thrax and a part of the compact. We both know that I will teach her how to use the Grayson in her.
Return to me, even if it is with more scars. It may seem sentimental but I have gotten used to you. Put the pretender in his place, show the compact it has not misplaced it's faith in you and show them what I saw in you that year ago when you asked me to wed you.
You are fierce and strong. You have stood upon the deck of your ship and sent a Kraken screaming to the depths because it threatened your child and your line. Now it returns and it's owner bays for the blood of Maelstrom. It's threatens that which your daughter is set to inherit when the time comes and any other children we will have. It threatens her. It threatens the lives of your people, your friends, your companions. Put it into the ground Victus. Give it no inch. The Mourning Isles belong to you. The Lycene Isles belong to Velenosa. Crovane to Redrain. All of it belongs to the Compact. Not to a pretender who died a thousand years ago and turned his back on his people in cowardice.
You stand on this eve of battle, sharpening your axe and your blade. You will put your beads in your beard, throw Astrid in the air a few times before she is set to sleep. Your armor will be freshly oiled and unashamedly will take me to bed and do other things. Then come the morning, you will stand on the deck of the Serpent and sail off to defend our allies even as the wind will whip my skirts. Whatever may come, whatever unexpected help we may find or hindrance, you will persevere.
We will be waiting for you.
So return to us.
Because you still have not taught us to swim and you are not allowed to perish until you have taught us both to swim.

And the unwillingness of her sons to be fucked with, I guess.

After initial misgivings I humbly ask for your forgiveness in my voicing doubt upon your appointment. I have come around and I now stand corrected. I am sure you and House Thrax have the best interests of the Compact in mind and I am sure every honorable Bisland sailor will follow your every order. I trust the appointment by my King and am ready to stand united.

While I may not be on a ship going to battle -- and while Ashford may not have many ships to begin with -- if any men under my banners do not follow their leader's order, no matter whom that leader may be -- they will soon find that they are disobeying not only their leader, but their Duke.
That will not stand. Ashfords know their duty. Ashford supports the Compact -- all of it.

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.

The High Lord of House Thrax certainly knows how and where to stick his harpoon. He earned those antlers that he's apparently set himself on the path of affixing to his helmet. He's also rather hilarious in his own endearing way.

My Brother Prince Valen taught it to me when I was his squire. My brother Prince Vance even had to pay him a healthy purse of silver because he thought I'd not be courageous enough to use it! Clearly that the woman thought it might have meant I was offering to 'peal her eggs' was due to some regional dialect difference.

Do you want to know the funniest thing, Victus?
I made that bet knowing full well that despite being Grand Duke Consort of the Lycuem, King Alaric Grayson IV is a wise monarch. Rather than invite literally fucking everyone to the table at the Assembly of Peers, he restrains from just allowing spouses to join. The likelihood that you'll even get to hear me call you 'Your Oakliness' is very slim indeed.
Why oh why do you always fall for the easy tricks?
Nice aim out there today, however. The silver stag's antlers will look good on a helm especially.
