Emperor,
I must say I was saddened by your words. I myself am the Childe of one
who you yourself chose to be your Crown Prince at one time. Within the
line of the Blood, I am the great granddaughter of Queen Belladona, or
her third blood. Many of my sisters, brothers, cousings, as well as the
Princes and the Princess retain the mark of second Blood. No decree can
take that away.

Although I see the dirtying of the Blood, and grieve for it, it is
tragic indeed when the label of bottom feeders is attached to those
whose blood and pride runs pure. For any Childe that you yourself
embrace shall be merely a young Aunt or Uncle, brethen to my Sire, and
their blood scarcely purer.

Do you then seek to call the very blood of Belladona sullied? For in my
eyes, that statement is as high a blasphemy as the pathetic attempts of
true traitors to spawn new Houses of a dirtied blood.

For the honour of Bahir'an, original House of the Crown Prince,
Grand Duchess Silmarillion Bahir'an
Third blood of Belladona

Penned by my hand on the 17th of Chakros, in the year 75 MA.
