It is our understanding that you wish
to swear fealty as a Laurel at this time.
MISTRESS CECILE:
I do.
SIR CARHOO:
Place your hands upon the Sword of State and swear this Oath:
This day do I render homage and fealty to
my Sovereign and Liege, the Crown of Atenveldt, who will from this day onward be my liege lord. I will remain in all ways the true servant, serving faithfully, and endeavoring ever to prove myself worthy of this noble title of Laurel. This I do swear by this sword and my honor. So say I, Mistress Cecile de Bretigny.
HRM MORGAN & LIVIA:
We, Morgan, and We, Livia, do accept this oath and, for Our part, vow to protect you and your household with all Our power until the Crown shall pass from Our hands, the world ends or death take Us.
(SIR CARHOO reads the scroll of a Patent of Arms and hands it to the Crown, who gives it to the new Companion.)
SIR CARHOO:
Three cheers for this newest Companion of the Order of the Laurel!
