Twelve Years Later In The Dukedom of Bedford Territory on Star Base 12
The year is now 2282, and 12 years have passed since Lady Ann Clifford turned down Lord Richard William Carey,Duke of Bedford Territory proposal of marriage.
Lady Ann Clifford, now a widow and Dowager Countess of Huntingdon has traveled out to the Dukedom of Bedford Territory to ask Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory for his help.
Lady Ann Clifford married Lord Lawrence Hastings in the year of 2272, and with him she had two children, Lord Edward Hastings in 2275 and a daughter, Lady Elizabeth in 2280
Lord Lawrence Hastings, Earl of Huntingdon has a brother, Lord Huge who wants to challenge his nephew's right to The Earldom of Huntingdon on Star Base 12 and he was born in 2275 and he is only 8 years old and Lady Elizabeth is only 3 years old.
Lady Ann Cifford rides out to Majestic Estate and Manor Beltane in The Dukedom of Bedford Territory and she is unaware that Lord Richard William Carey has his own Estate and Castle of Bedford.
When she arrives at Majestic Estate and Manor of Beltane in The Dukedom of Bedford Territory and she asks to see Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory, sitting in the drawing room is Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard, Duchess of Norfolk Territory holding in her arms Lord Richard William Carey heir and their daughter, Lady Caroline Matilda Carey, who resembles her paternal great-great-grandmother, Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard in her arms.
Standing by her side are Lord Andrew Charles Howard, Duke of Norfolk Territory and his second cousin, Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory along with her very precocious seven year old daughter, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard who is Lord Richard William Carey third cousin, and they share the same great-great-grandfather, Lord Frederick William Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk Territory.
Lady Ann Hastings with her two children walk into the drawing room of Majestic Estate and Manor of Beltane Manor.
Lady Karissa looks up at Lady Ann Hastings and she asks her " Why have you come to Beltane Manor?"
"Excuse me, Lady Howard. I thought this is where Lord Carey lived?" Lady Ann Hastings tells her.
"Lady Hastings. Do you realize in the year of 2163, that Lord Patrick William Howard and Frederick Weston drew up the blueprints for Majestic Estate and Castle of Bedford for Lord John Thomas Carey, Lord Richard William Carey's great-great-great-grandfather." Lady Karissa asks her.
"The Majestic Estate and Castle of Bedford was built in the year 2164 and they moved in it." Lady Karissa explains.
"Lord Patrick William Howard and Frederick Weston started to work together in 2159 and all the Estates were built by 2164." Lady Karissa tells her.
"What? Your father didn't tell you that Lord Patrick William Howard and Frederick Weston also created The Estate and Castle of Clifford.?" Lady Karissa asks her.
"There is not one Estate on Star Base 12, but the ones that The First settlers moved into that weren't created and built with the help of Lord Patrick William Howard and Frederick Weston." Lady Karissa tells her.
Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard,
looks at Lady Ann Hastings and she tells her "How dare you insult my third cousin, Lord Richard William Carey. We are both the great-great-grandchildren of Lord Frederick William Howard?"
"It is too bad that my great-grandfather didn't draw and quarter your great-grandfather." Lady Elizabeth declares.
"My great-great-aunt was too good for your great-great-grandfather." Lady Elizabeth declares.
"Why should the daughter marry the son of a Baron and demote herself that way." Lady Elizabeth demands.
"You could have become Duchess of Bedford Territory rather than Countess of Huntingdon." Lady Elizabeth tells her.
"Lady Elizabeth. You are very precocious." Lady Ann tells her.
"Lady Ann. I assure you that Lady Elizabeth already knows that. She is being raised to become Duchess of Norfolk Territory after her father." Lady Karissa explains.
"Do you see my other children, Lady Samhain is Duchess of Clarence Territory and my son, Lord Anthony Christopher is Duke of Lancaster Territory.' Lady Karissa explains.
"Do you see this wee one in my arms?,
she is the future Duchess of Bedford Territory." Lady Karissa tells her.
"You see Lady Ann. It is not about family honor. It is about love and keeping Lord Patrick William Howard and Lord John Thomas Carey's legacy alive on Star-Base 12 along with Lord Edmund Beaufort legacy too." Lady Karissa explains.
"Why have you come now, Lady Ann?" Lord Richard William asks.
"I have come to ask for your help in retaining The Earldom of Huntingdon for my son.' Lady Ann explains.
"Your husband's son will inherit it, unless there is a better claimant to his Earldom." Lord Richard William states.
"Even if he had a younger brother, Lady Ann, his younger brother can't replace your husband's son as legal heir to The Earldom." Lord Richard William explains.
"Your son is only 8 years old, but his brother can be regent to the Earldom until your son comes of age and then he must give your son the Earldom." Lord Richard William tells her.
"You could return to your brother, Lord Roger who is Baron of Clifford and ask him to take your children and you in since you are a widow." Lord Richard William tells her.
"I don't think he will refuse his nephew, niece, and you ." Lord Richard William declares.
"You refused my offer of an honest marriage, one of love and honor, for the sake of family honor." Lord Richard William declares.
"When I first met you in 2268. I never thought you would break my heart." Lord Richard William Carey declares.
"I thought better of you than that." Lord Richard William states.
"As you can see I have recovered from it and I have moved on and I have my heiress because of Lady Karissa. Our daughter has two sisters and a brother." Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford tells her.
"My Great-Great-Great-Grandfathers' Dukedom will live on through my heiress, Lady Caroline Matilda.Carey." Lord Richard William states.
