The Love Letter

Lady Josephine Isabella walks into her daughter's room at Lennox Manor and says, "This letter just arrived for you from Lancaster."

Lady Josephine Isabella hands it to Lady Alexandrina and she opens up the letter and it was handwritten by Lord Andrew Charles JR.

It reads: My Dear Lady Alexandrina: How have you been since we departed. I can't stop thinking of or about you. You are forever in my thoughts and my heart.

My eldest sister Lady Elizabeth told me if I love you, and I do, I must fight for you, and marry you.

I have returned to Lancaster Territory with my second cousin Lord Thomas Howard who is my regent until I turn 18 and then I will govern on my own, but I want you to help me govern and I will bestow upon you the Tiara of Lancaster that only consorts receive wear.

I know that we are young and we must wait until you are 18 and I am 19, but I can wait until I can marry you.

My cousin Lord Thomas William Howard is a wonderful man and he is my father's second cousin and my second once removed.

He is the grandson of Lord Andrew Charles Howard,the late Duke of Northumberland Territory.

Did I tell you I have a dog whose name is King Frederick. He is a dachshund.

Do you like animals? I love animals.

"My sisters love cats and kittens, but my eldest sister wants a horse.

I have one niece, Lady Karissa Ann Howard, and I have 3 other sisters and one little brother- Lady Caroline Matilda is 13 years old, Lady Sophia Charlotte Dorothea and Lady Anastasia Christina are both 10 years old, Lord Benny as my mother calls him is 4 years old and my baby sister is only 3 months old.

Tell me about my late grandmother's family and all about the highlands of Lennox.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Much Love,

Your cousin,

Lord Andrew Charles Howard JR

Lady Josephine Isabella looks at her daughter and Lady Alexandrina tells her mother, "Lord Andrew Charles has proposed to me mother. He knows we have to wait until I am 18." Lady Alexandrina tells her mother.

"My dear Lady Alexandrina. You must follow your heart and decide. No one can decide for you. Lord Andrew Charles JR is a fine young man. He reminds of his mother Lady Karissa." Lady Josephine explains.

"I do love him so, mother. I don't want him to get away." Lady Alexandrina tells her mother.

"What will father say as I am his heiress?" Lady Alexandrina tells her mother.

"You can govern from Lancaster with Lord Andrew Charles as your Earl-Consort as you will become Duchess-Consort of Lancaster.' Lady Josephine Isabella tells her daughter.

"Our first child will be heir to Lancaster and our second will be heir to Lennox." Lady Alexandrina tells her mother.

"My dear Lady Alexandrina. You are a Stuart marrying a Howard, and any first child regardless to the child's sex will inherit the Dukedom of Lancaster." Lady Josephine explains.

"The child will become a great-great-great-great-grandchild of Lord Patrick William Howard." Lady Josephine Isabella.

"You know that your father and I will leave it up to you to accept his marriage offer, but if I were you I wouldn't let Lord Andrew Charles JR get away." Lady Josephine explains.

"I would love nothing more than to have Lady Karissa as a relative." Lady Josephine tells her daughter.

Lady Alexandrina decides to accept Lord Andrew Charles Howard JR marriage proposal and Lady Alexandrina writes to him and tells him that she will happily marry him in June of 2299.

Lady Josephine Isabella smiles and she says, "You have made a wise decision."

When Lord Andrew Charles JR receives her reply he is in his seventh heaven and he rushes to Lord Thomas and shows him the letter and Lord Thomas tells him. "You made a wise decision cousin Lord Andrew Charles JR."

Lord Thomas informs Lady Karissa and Lord Andrew Charles about Lord Andrew Charles JR asking Lady Alexandrina Charlene Stuart to marry him and she has answered "Yes I will marry you in June of 2299."

Lady Karissa smiles and says, "It is a worthy match for our son and she is a beautiful young woman."

The news spreads to Wessex Territory where Lady Elizabeth and Lord Richard Edward III and Lady Elizabeth say, " Lord Andrew Charles JR is getting married in 2299 to Lady Alexandrina Charlene Stuart."

The news reaches Lady Samhain and Lord David JR out at Clarence Territory and she receives the news happily.

Lord Charles Andrew JR hears the news and says, "I think he made a good choice."

"I just hope I remain alive long enough to see my eldest grandson marry." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lady Sarah.

It will be the first two events of the year of 2299 that will take place as on October 31, 2299 on Lady Samhain's 23 birthday she gives birth to a Lord Charles Andrew SR first great grandson Lord David William Beck III four months after Lord Andrew Charles JR weds Lady Alexandrina Charlene Howard.

Love is a marvelous thing if it is done for the right reasons. Love can also hurt you and it can break your heart, but in the case of Lord Andrew Charles Jr and Lady Alexandrina Charlene it is a love-match from day one and it lasts until they depart and return to Odin and Freda in Valhalla
