Comtess Yvonne De Villepin – A Romantic Interlude
It's another month where I'm happy to report that so many of the events of note were romantic that I am reporting on them!!! Long may this continue and I wish Monsieur and Madame Balls many happy years of marital bliss and I'm happy to see that new arrival Hans Hoffman got into the spirit of things with his appearance at Monsieur Balls stag do, hosted by Baron Bonnett!!! I am glad that Mlle Valanon and Mlle Johi had such a good time at the hen party although perhaps Johi's drinking got a little bit out of hand as I think perhaps the Rose & Crown are not quite used to that level of noise!!! Of course, this was also a more sombre month as the funeral for poor Sieur D'Blancheur took place and was well attended by the great and good of society!!! I am glad to hear that Tristesse d'Blancheur is to be brought up in comfort by the Lagarde de Bearnes!!! Congratulations are also due to the de la Azurs and an excellent christening service it was indeed!!! And the Monsieur Balls wedding was very sweet and I was very impressed by Mlle Valerie's musical piece "Chastity" even if her drinking at the party was a bit too much if you don't mind me saying dear!!! I hope Mlle Johi isn't being a bad example to you because I have to say that at wedding receptions it is normal for the bride to pay attention to her new husband rather than the other gentlemen in attendance and poor Baron Bonnett didn't know where to look!!! Especially awkward as he'd proposed to Mlle Valerie earlier in the week!!! Congratulations to both of you!!! And, if I may be so bold, congratulations to Mlle Johi for her upcoming motherhood it does seem lucky the wedding has taken place although I shall say no more!!!

Reports from the Front by General Georges Boulle (rtd.)
Just a bit of advice Hoffman. I admire your enthusasism, lad. But despite what the toffs might say, nothing wrong with the infantry. Allows you to get stuck in.
Glad to see Bougiedure back on active duty.
Spanish Frontier
Back and forth on the Spanish Frontier. Lots of argy bargey. No clear victor yet.
Flanders
Enemy raids. We chase them off. Repeat. Still, they seem to have lost interest and gone looking for an easier target. Nice work.
Lorraine
Our patrols kept the enemy well under control. Worth keeping an eye on but nothing to worry about yet.
Savoy
State of alert but if the enemy are attacking it's not yet at least
Next month:
Spanish Frontier HL 7 Incursion Siege
Flanders Frontier HL 3 On Alert Field
Lorraine Frontier HL 3 On Alert Field
Savoy Frontier HL 3 On Alert Field

Court Circular
Jacques Bougiedure has been raised to the title of Marquis. The new Marquis was seen celebrating with the de la Azurs at court. Sadly, his Majesty was unable to grant Marquis Bougiedure a private audience this month, the Royal Steward citing other committments.
At the government meeting this week Comte Lagarde de Bearne was seen in close consultation with his eminence Cardinal Richileau.

It is indeed! I was actually going to post a little more about that tomorrow. There's two of you, but for you in particular this is a rare chance for a non noble character to get a royal audience.
