I am to present Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard to the people of Norfolk Territory and show them their future Duchess of Norfolk Territory.

I can visualize all the mothers, and their daughters and other women dancing around Norfolk Territory 

when I present Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Beltane to the people.

Lord Andrew Charles and I will be wearing Navy Blue and Gold when we are created Duke and Duchess of Norfolk Territory, but later on that evening we will wear at the ball, Deep Amethyst and Gold and later on we will change once again.

I have hired a young nanny named Barbara to help me take care of Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane and she will carry Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane into the coronation and give her to her grandfather to present to the people at the coronation.

It is Lord Richard Edward Howard The Second who comes and tells us it is time for us to walk down the stairs, and Susan, Katherine are present wearing Regency dresses of Gold and Navy.

Lord Richard Edward Howard The Second walks down the stairs before Lord Andrew Charles and I descend from the staircase at Norfolk Manor and everyone is standing in the corridor waiting for us to walk down.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR is waiting for us to walk into the formal drawing room at Norfolk Territory and the doors open to the drawing room, and the music starts to sound for our entrance and everyone stands and as we pass by all the men bow and all the women curtsy to us.

Lord Richard William Carey is seated in the front, along with Lord Thomas William Howard, as the two highest peers in Star Base 12, along with Lord Edmund Grey, Duke of Suffolk, Lady Georgiana Grey, Duchess of Duchess of Suffolk Territory, Lord John Seymour and Lady Josette Collins, Duke and Duchess of Somerset Territory.

and The Female Ruler of The Planet Vulcan.

A great many nobility of Star Base 12 as well.

We finally reach the front where Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR is waiting for us and we sit down in the Queen Anne chairs with violet cushions.

From the front- Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR starts to talk " I, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, the great-grandson of Lord Patrick William Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk Territory has governed the Dukedom and Territory that my great-grandfather begun in 2165 since 2240, but now I am 66 years old and I want to retire,so I am passing the Dukedom on to my successor according to my late father's Last Will and Testament who gave him his first male line grandchild, and it is my youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard. "

"My father stated that the first of his grandsons who gave him his first great-grandchild would inherit the Dukedom and Territory on Norfolk." Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR tells everyone.

"I present to you, The New Duke and Duchess of Norfolk Territory, Lord Andrew Charles and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann." Lord Charles Andrew Howard announces.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR places the coronet on Lord Andrew Charles Howard head and places the robes around his shoulders, and after that Lady Patricia Eugenie walks up to me and she places the tiara on my head and places the robes on my shoulders and we stand and present ourselves to everyone present.

I ask for Barbara to bring Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane to us, and she walks up proudly carrying Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane and she gives Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR a curtsy and she gives Lady Elizabeth to her grandfather and he presents Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane to everyone present.

Finally, the ceremony comes to an end, and I look at Lord Andrew Charles Howard and I ask for Lady Elizabeth back, with Susan, Katherine and Barbara we all escape from all the ceremony.
