Kingdoms Associated Press - London, England


Tensions erupted this week as King Rowan of England abruptly terminated the longstanding military alliance with the Kingdom of France. The decision reportedly discussed in both the House of Parliament and Royal Privy chambers, came without formal communication to the French government, leaving both national and county-level officials scrambling for answers.

The news first reached the English public through an unexpected source: Jesijajo, the Countess of Westmorland. On December 5th, the Countess shared her concerns during a conversation in Westmorland inn, sparking widespread debate. Soon after, it emerged that King Rowan had opened a discussion on the matter in private chambers, accessible for review by all.

The fallout escalated when France’s Great Ambassador, Dorrante, issued a letter to England’s Counts. In his correspondence, Dorrante revealed that King Rowan had unilaterally broken the Treaty of Alliance between the two nations, offering no explanation. The ambassador expressed deep frustration, writing:

"Alas, it appears to us that the grounds for breaking the alliance decided by the King of England are inaccurate and unfounded. The French Crown is accused of violating the 1462 Treaty of Alliance, but we never knew how, by whom, or when. We have tried, on many occasions, to understand the accusations of the King of England, in vain…”

Dorrante included minutes from a recent diplomatic meeting, shedding light on the escalating tensions.

A Fragile Meeting of Minds

The meeting in question brought together prominent figures from both nations, including the Royal Embassy's Chancellor Ysabelle, French Ambassador Élianor, King Rowan, Princess Llyres, England’s Ambassador to France Sebastian, and French King Azharr. Despite formal pleasantries, the underlying discord quickly surfaced.

England, represented by Princess Llyres, voiced concerns over the perceived neglect of alliance terms by France, particularly regarding maritime actions that disrupted trade and security. Llyres highlighted England’s significant naval contributions and expressed frustration at France’s perceived silence on key obligations.

French Chancellor Dorrante refuted these claims, insisting recent communications had been constructive. He further questioned England’s motivations, which prompted a defensive response from Llyres, who criticized the lack of transparency in France’s approach.

The situation escalated when King Rowan, supported by Ysabelle, announced England’s decision to withdraw from the military alliance. This move, they explained, was due to repeated violations of treaty conditions, especially unilateral military actions by France. To mitigate the fallout, England proposed a Non-Aggression Treaty, signalling a desire for neutrality while exploring opportunities to rebuild diplomatic ties.

France’s Reaction and the Road Ahead

France’s leaders, including King Azharr and Ambassador Dorrante, expressed bewilderment and dissatisfaction. They demanded clarity on the specific incidents that led to England’s withdrawal, describing the decision as abrupt and lacking prior attempts at resolution. With global threats like ONE looming, they accused England of abandoning a crucial partnership prematurely.

In an effort to calm the waters, Ysabelle assured French representatives that the Non-Aggression Treaty was merely a starting point for discussions, not a finalized agreement. However, France’s representatives remained sceptical, with Dorrante emphasizing the need for detailed explanations before further dialogue could proceed.

As the meeting concluded, it became clear that both sides remained committed to diplomacy but were deeply divided by mistrust and conflicting narratives. Whether the fractured relationship can be mended remains uncertain, as the parties continue to grapple with their differences.

Seeking the Full Story

In the wake of these developments, this reporter has reviewed the meeting minutes and reached out to key figures for their perspectives - King Rowan, Chancellor Ysabelle, Princess Llyres, Ambassador Sebastian, King Azharr and Great Ambassador Dorrante to offer insights into the conflicting accounts and paving the way for readers to judge the situation for themselves. However, a few of the key opinions did not answer the call for an interview, including Chancellor Ysabelle who said "Thank you but I will decline at this moment." In the upcoming edition, we will have some questions and answers from England's ambassador to France Sebastian, Princess Llyres, the Grand Ambassadeur of France Dorrante, and the French King Azharr.
