Words that will change the life of his only son, Prince Alexander. "Let it be known, that in a year from the day of my death, my son Prince Stefan Alexander Donovan IV, is to stand at the altar with his bride, whom he shall swear by man, by earth and by God to love and to hold, to learn and to grow, to protect, to cherish and to stay loyal to forever. And if this action does not take place, my son, Prince Stefan Alexander Donovan IV shall lose his rightful position as heir to the throne and to the Kingdom of Nirvania and all its benefits."
