Shortly after Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane and Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard are married in June of 2294, Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third asks to see Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard, Duchess of Norfolk Territory and she grants his request and she is with her youngest daughter, four year old Lady Sophia Dorothea, Duchess of Gloucester Territory.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third walks into the drawing room and he bows to Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann and Lady Sophia Dorothea and she looks up and asks him " Why did you want to see me, Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third?"
"I am rather busy with my children, and I just married my two oldest daughters, and I still have Lady Caroline Matilda, Lord Anthony Christopher, Lord Albert Edward, Lord Benjamin Lawrence, and Lady Sophia Dorothea to take care of and not to mention your damn brother." Lady Karissa tells him.
"I am scheduled to take a tour of Pembroke Territory in the next two weeks and I am planning only to take Lady Sophia Dorothea and Lord Benjamin Lawrence, Lady Caroline Matilda will spend time with her father, and Lord Andrew Charles wants to spend time with our sons." Lady Karissa tells him.
"Don't you have a Dukedom to govern?" Lady Karissa asks him.
"I do have a Dukedom and a daughter and a Duchess, but with my Duchess, none of our children are fit to succeed me." Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third explains, " My son is Duke of Albany Territory, and I don't see my daughter becoming Duchess after me." Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third states.
"Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third, if this is an adult conversation. I will have to send for Lady Caroline Matilda to come and get her sister." Lady Karissa tells him.
"Lady Sophia Dorothea, why don't you go and play with your sister up the stairs, and go play with your brother,Lord Benjamin Lawrence, so your uncle and I can talk." Lady Karissa asks her daughter.
Lady Sophia Dorothea gives her mother a curtsy and she walks out of the drawing room and Lady Karissa looks up and asks Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third, " We can talk now. Why isn't Lady Charlotte Victoria Maud fit to be your heiress. You were very happy at her birth?" Lady Karissa asks.
"It is not uncommon to make your son a dual heir to two Dukedoms? Lady Karissa explains.
"Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Fourth will be the one that carries your name into the future with sons with your surname." Lady Karissa explains "You were named for your grandfather, and your father defied his father to name him you after your grandfather."
"I have to ask you if you would have my heiress and I will name her after you. She will be my pride and joy." Lord Charles Andrew Howard The third asks.
"Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third. Do you realize what you are asking me?" Lady Karissa asks." You are 64 years old and I am 45 years old, and I have five children for your brother and two for your second cousin that I love very much."
