Lady Elizabeth exclaims.
Lady Samhain extends out her hand and tells her father and mother "I am engaged to Lord David William Beck II." Lady Samhain tells her father and mother.
Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa " Am I to lose my daughters to their damn cousins." Lord Andrew Charles asks .
"It looks like it, Andrew Charles." Lady Karissa states, " This will please your father. He has been waiting for this day to arrive."
"Dad. I love Lord Richard Edward III and I have loved ever since we were children." Lady Elizabeth states "Furthermore, you should be happy I am marrying Howard."
"I am very happy that you are happy, but couldn't you marry outside of our family." Lord Andrew Charles asks Lady Elizabeth.
"I have a duty to my great-great-great-grandfather to carry on what he began in 2153 and Lord Richard Edward III feels the same way." Lady Elizabeth explains.
"I see that my father trained you well." Lord Andrew Charles states, "But by his own admission he didn't want to inherit this Dukedom, nor did your great-grandfather."
"Perhaps it is because they are both men and I am not and I have a stronger sense of duty." Lady Elizabeth tells her father.
"Lady Elizabeth. You are the heiress of Three Dukedoms, and you will need to make sure Lord Richard Edward III and you have an heir/heiress for each of these territories." Lord Andrew Charles states.
"Our first child will inherit Norfolk Territory, our second child will inherit the Dukedom of Wessex Territory and our third will receive Pembroke and Fairfax Territory." Lady Elizabeth explains.
"I will govern Pembroke and Fairfax until at which time we have our third child." Lady Elizabeth states.
Lord Charles Andrew Jr walks in and asks " What is all the excitement?"
"Granddad. Lord Richard Edward III and I are engaged to marry each other." Lady Elizabeth tells Lord Charles Andrew JR.

"What can I say if my son loves his second cousin and she is the daughter of my first cousin." Lord Richard Edward II tells his uncle.
Lady Samhain is quiet, and Lady Karissa tells Lord Charles Andrew JR "Lady Samhain is engaged to Lord David William Beck II."
