It came as no surprise to Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane and her husband, Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third when their oldest daughter, Lady Karissa Ann announced to her father and mother " I am getting married father and mother."
Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane, Duchess of Norfolk Territory asks her heiress "Who are you going to marry Lady Karissa Ann?"
"Why mother? I am going to marry my second cousin, Lord Frederick William Howard The Fourth." Lady Karissa Ann tells her mother.
"Why shouldn't I realize that Howards marry other Howards, or we marry our cousins." Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane tells her daughter.
Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third looks at Lady Elizabeth "I am your second cousin." Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third tells her.
"We are indeed and we share the same great-grandfather, Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR." Lady Elizabeth states.
"Lady Karissa Ann and Lord Frederick William Howard The Fourth share the same great-great-grandfather, Lord Frederick William Howard." Lady Elizabeth tells Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third.
"My youngest sister, Lady Sophia Dorothea married our daughter's fiance, older brother." Lady Elizabeth tells Lord Richard Edward The Third.
"We want to marry in June of 2316, when we are both 18 years old, mother and father, don't expect any grandchild right away as we want time to settle in our new home." Lady Karissa asks.
"I am fine if you wait. I am too young to be a grandmother. " Lady Elizabeth tells her daughter, and your father needs to take your brother, Lord Richard Edward Howard The Fourth to the coming out event of 2315. "
"My brother shouldn't have any trouble finding a bride mother, he will one day be Duke of Wessex Territory." Lady Karissa Ann tells her mother.
"As far as I know, none of your great-grandfather's sons had any problems finding a bride." Lady Elizabeth tells her daughter.
"That is not true Bess. My father had trouble convincing my mother to marry him and she refused him twice before she agreed to marry him in 2275." Lord Richard Edward The Third explains.
