The Howard's of Star Base 10 and 12. Third , Fourth Fifth and Six Generations

Queen Anne of Beltane Manor

The Three Musketeers set out in Aramis' carriage from Bedford Territory and with his two cousins by his side.

The people gather to see the Three Musketeers of Star Base 12 and stand together and they exclaim "One in All and All in One."

It is Athos, nicknamed Lord Andrew Charles as Cardinal Richelieu.

"What a perfect name for that scumbag." Aramis says.

The Three Musketeers ride onto Beltane Manor to rescue their Queen, Queen Anne from the hands of Richelieu.

When they arrive they see Lady Karissa outside in the courtyard with her children, Lady Elizabeth, Lady Samhain, Lord Andrew Charles Jr and Lady Caroline Matilda is in her pram.

They walk up to her and they bow to her.

"What a nice surprise and what brings you out to Beltane Manor?" Lady Karissa asks.

"We have come to make sure that the children and you are right." Lord Thomas William tells her.

"I am well thank you and you can see that the children are outside playing." Lady Karissa answers.

"Where is our cousin or do I need to ask?" Lord Thomas asks.

"Where do you think he is, Porthos?" Lady Karissa asks.

"He is behind his desk once again and being a stick in the mud. I wonder how he even got into our illustration family." Porthos asks.

"You know that he is the grandson of Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR that is how." Lady Karissa tells him.

"Oh! I want to forget about my grand-great uncle Lord Charles Andrew SR." Porthos tells her.

"It is not easy to erase a relative out of your mind, Porthos."Lady Karissa tells him.

"I am afraid he is one of the sons of Lord Frederick William and Lady Jeanette Virginia and he is your grand-great uncle as is Lord Frederick William and Lady Sophia Charlotte is your grand-great Aunt." Lady Karissa tells him.

"I accept the fact that that old rascal is my grand-great Uncle but I don't have to like it." Porthos tells Lady Karissa.

"We have given Lord Andrew Charles the nickname of Cardinal Richelieu.' Armais exclaims.

"Whatever for don't you know that he was the villain in the Three Musketeers." Lady Karissa answers.

"I would have given the title of the Duke of Buckingham in our saga." Lady Karissa laughs.

All three of The Musketeers walk over to where Lady Elizabeth is playing with her sister and brother, and they bow and she looks up and says,"Good Morning Cousins."

Aramis, Arthos, and Porthos all walk up to where Lord Andrew Charles JR is playing with his puppy, King Frederick and they bow.

Lord Andrew Charles JR looks up and he looks at his mother and she says, "They are your cousins."

Lord Andrew Charles decides to come outside and he walks up and says, " What do I owe the pleasure of your company cousins?"

"We have not come to see you Richelieu. We have come to see Queen Anne." Porthos tells him.

"I am not amused." Lord Andrew Charles them.

"We are not here to amuse you." Athos tells him.

"I see that you are still spending too much time at your desk." Athos tells him.

"Unlike you. I take my responsibility seriously in governing my territory that was started by our great-great-great-grandfather." Lord Andrew Charles tells him.

"We govern our territories and they are not under distress or under any financial hardship." Athos states.

"Our people are happy and they prosper." Porthos tells Lord Andrew Charles.

"Stay away from my son." Lord Andrew Charles tells his cousins.

Lady Karissa walks over and she asserts herself, " He is my son also Lord Andrew Charles. He needs to know his kin."

"They will cause him no harm." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.

Lord Andrew Charles JR stands up with his puppy and says, "This is King Frederick."

"What a fine name for a dachshund Lord Andrew Charles JR. Do you know where he originated from?" Lord Frederick asks his third cousin.

"The dachshund originated from Germany." Lord Frederick tells his cousin.

Lord Andrew Charles JR looks at his father and mother and Lady Karissa says, " He is only three years old, Lord Frederick William."

"No time like the present to start on his education as he is the Duke of Lancaster Territory." Lord Frederick William states.

"A wise ruler is educated." Lord Thomas explains.

"I will supervise his education at the proper time and please let my son enjoy his childhood." Lady Karissa asks respectfully.

Lord Richard William walks over and says, " Lady Karissa is totally capable of educating her children."

"It's not our place to interfere with a child's childhood." Lord Richard William states.

"Thank you for that Lord Richard William" Lord Andrew Charles tells his cousin.

"You are welcome Lord Andrew Charles." Lord Richard tells him.

"Trust me gentlemen. When the proper time comes Lord Andrew Charles JR will be sent to the same school that his father attended.' Lady Karissa them.

"I have to be assured that their curriculum has changed since his father's time." Lady Karissa tells them.

"My daughters will be sent to the Finishing School provided they teach them just more than the social graces." Lady Karissa tells them.

"I will home-school my children and they will be given the proper education." Lady Karissa explains.

Lord Andrew Charles says, " I am leaving for Norfolk Manor tomorrow please make sure that Barbara has Lord Andrew Charles JR clothes and toys packed up."

"I will see to it Lord Andrew Charles." Lady Karissa tells him.

"Barbara will accompany you along with Lady Theresa Hardwick." Lady Karissa tells him.

"What are you allowing him to take Lord Andrew Charles JR with him to Norfolk Manor Lady Karissa?" Lord Thomas asks her.

"Lord Andrew Charles is his father and Barbara is going with him and she will take care of Lord Andrew Charles JR." Lady Karissa tells him.

"I am sending with him Lady Theresa Hardwick, and she is fond of Lord Andrew Charles Howard JR." Lady Karissa tells him.

Lord Richard comes to her defense and he tells his cousins, " Don't tell Lady Karissa how to raise her children. I trust her with our daughter, Lady Caroline Matilda."

"We aren't telling Lady Karissa how to raise her children." Lord Thomas explains.

"Lord Andrew Charles JR is also the son of Lord Andrew Charles and if he wants to take their son out to Norfolk Manor it is his right." Lord Richard explains.

"It will be good for father and son to spend some time together alone from all the women at Beltane Manor." Lord Richard William explains

Lord Andrew Charles isn't a bad man as some of his cousins preconceived him to be as he does love his children.

Lord Andrew Charles has promised his father Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR he will guard his children with his life.

The Three Musketeers look at each other and they say, "We will protect our Queen and Duchess from Richelieu.

They bow to Lady Karissa that they renamed Queen Anne of Austria.
