The Edwardian Era: Sequel To Remember Me

Part Two ; The Untold Story of The Birth of The Duchess of Clarence Territory

Lord Andrew Charles Howard, Duke of Norfolk Territory, not even age of 24, and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard, not even 20, had their first child, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane on May 1, 2275 at Norfolk Manor where Lord Andrew Charles Howard had been born not even 24 years before his daughter.

One month later after the birth of Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard, Lord Andrew Charles Howard with Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann by his side, became the fifth Duke and Duchess of Norfolk Territory.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard wore a very impressive regency suit and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard wore a beautiful elegant Regency dress of amethyst and gold lace.

Together they became Duke and Duchess of Norfolk Territory and they remained at Norfolk Estate until July of 2275 and moved into their new manor of Beltane in Bedford Territory, where Lord Andrew Charles Howard's second cousin, Lord Richard William Carey was Duke Of Bedford Territory.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard was busy governing his Dukedom of Norfolk Territory and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann kept herself busy taking care of their daughter, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane, and she was her grandfather's golden hair heiress to the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory.

It was no big secret that Lord Andrew Charles Howard and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann's marriage was based on convenience.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard was under pressure from his father to marry and produce an heir/heiress for The Dukedom of Norfolk Territory whereas both of his two older brothers, Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third and Lord Patrick William Howard The Second had failed to produce a single child with their wives.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard began to feel the pressure from his father in 2270 and it continued until the arrival of Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell on June 25, 2274.

The two other young women with her, Susan Virginia Bell, and Katherine Grace Kelly, and Susan Virginia Bell was 23, Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell was not even 19, and Katherine Grace Kelly was only 17 years old when they arrived on Star Base 12.

Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell wanted a daughter that she could call Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane, and the only way she was going to marry was if the man gave her a daughter and then she would agree to marry him.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard went to his first cousin, Lord David William Beck who was a Star-Fleet Officer Medical Officer and asked him " What are my chances of having a daughter on the first try?"

Lord David William Beck looks at his first cousin, Lord Andrew Charles Howard and tells him "Your chances are 50/50."

"Your odds are the same for every man." Lord David William Beck confesses.

"I am not even sure a new position when you have sexual intercourse will increase the chances of having a daughter or son." Lord David William Beck tells his first cousin.

"Why do you want to have a daughter?" Lord David William Beck asks his cousin.

"It is the only way that Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell will marry me and if I give her a daughter. She will." Lord Andrew Charles tells his cousin.

"Why are you chasing after the unobtainable?" You can have any woman here on Star Base 12?" Lord David William Beck asks.

"Have you seen what these young women look like here on Star Base 12? They are silly, frivolous, vain creatures that bat their eye lashes at you, and parade around in their fancy apparel." Lord Andrew Charles Howard tells his cousin.

"I am not under pressure to marry." Lord David William Beck confesses.

"You are only a Howard through your mother, and you escaped it,but Lord Richard Edward Howard The Second, Lord Frederick William Howard The Third, and Lord Thomas William Howard and I are." Lord Andrew Charles Howard explains.
