Lord Anthony Christopher Howard, Duke of Lancaster and his beautiful wife, Lady Alexandrina Charlene, Duchess of Lennox Territory watches their three children grow up and Lord Anthony Christopher made himself he would never be like his own father, Lord Andrew Charles and neglect his family for his territory.
Lord Anthony didn't neglect his territory either, but it came second only to his family which he loved and cherished more than his own life.
Lord Anthony saw how his own father, Lord Andrew Charles neglected his brothers and sisters and he was seldom saw in the nursery and it was his third cousin, Lord Richard Willliam Carey and his two uncles, Lord Charles Andrew Howard III and Lord Patrick William Howard and his beloved his grandfather, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and his dear love mother, Lady Karissa who had been his brothers and sisters.
Lord Anthony remembers it was his uncle who taught him to stand up and fight bullies and how to beat the tar out of them.
Never again did the bullies pick on him and call him ugly names like sissy, coward, and other crude names.
Lord Anthony gave all three of the bullies that picked on him a knuckle sandwich and they fell on their rear-ends and went home crying to their fathers.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard III also taught him that must only fight to defend himself.
Lord Patrick William taught him archery, swimming, and softball, and Lord Richard William taught him how to respect the ladies and never take advantage of them.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR read to his grandchildren and took him often to visit their aunt, Lady Frederica out at York Territory.
None of Lord Andrew Charles' children rarely saw him because he was too caught up in governing his territory of Norfolk and later he would pay the price when Lady Karissa would divorce him after 24 years of marriage and five children.
By 2299, Lady Elizabeth, Lady Samhain and Lord Anthony would be married, and the only children left at home with her would be Lady Caroline Matilda until 2301, Lord Albert Edward, Lady Anastasia Christina, Lord Benjamin Lawrence Carey, Lady Sophia Dorothea and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard.
In 2299, Lady Karissa gave Lord Andrew Charles his divorce papers and Lady Elizabeth became Duchess of Norfolk Territory at the age of 24 years old exactly the age her father became Duke of Norfolk Territory.
Lady Elizabeth stands outside of Norfolk Estate first and she gives a compelling speech to her people " I am your Duchess now. I declare that women may exclude their sons from inheriting the mother's title and property. It is their right." Lady Elizabeth states.
" I will be damned if I ever see an older sister be replaced by a damn younger brother or an older daughter replaced with her younger son." Lady Elizabeth tells her people.
Lady Elizabeth held up her four year old daughter, Lady Karissa Ann Howard in her arms "Here is your next Duchess of Norfolk Territory." Lady Elizabeth calls out.
