Kingdoms Associated Press - London, England


In our recent exclusive interview, His Majesty King Niketas laid out a firm defence of the Crown’s actions regarding the rogue army in Salisbury, stating that "after murders have taken place it's too late for diplomacy." The Monarch painted a picture of a Crown bound strictly by the limits of national law, stating that he lacks the power to dictate solutions to regional governance.

However, a startling open letter addressed to the Throne has forced a critical question into the public square: Is the Crown enforcing the law equally, or is it selectively ignoring treason when it is written by a council?

KAP has obtained the full text of Charisma’s missive to the Crown. It outlines a terrifying development in Devon. One which directly challenges the King's assertion that Devon's leadership is professional and acting within the confines of law.

✍️ Editor's Note: The following is printed in full for the public interest, following Devon’s passage of a new charter addition alleged to violate the National Treason Law.

"To the Throne of England, Niketas and Jesijajo


Your Majesties,

You know me as the one who treats the follies of this realm with satire, preferring to laugh at the absurdities, not to weep for them. But the joke has ended as the theatre burns down around us. I have set aside my jests because English blood is pooling in the mire and muck of Devon, and the Crown has fallen utterly silent.

I write to you with sincerity. I am not here to beg for a pardon for the rogue army that marched through Devon. They broke the law. They took a town by force, people died, and by the strict text of our National Treason Law, they must answer to the courts. They knew this, which is why they tried to face the courts. They accepted the weight of England’s justice.

While the Crown remains mute, the realm bleeds. So I must ask you, directly, without the comforting shield of courtly euphemism.

Why are you allowing this to happen?

What has become of the King who spoke so fiercely of his red lines?

How can we hold the scales of justice over vigilantes when the very rulers of Devon are using your law as kindling?

The Council of Devon did not just bend the law, they eradicated it. They have flaunted their absolute ignorance of England’s national legal framework for months. Their solution to not knowing our historic laws was simply to pass a new charter law declaring them void. Section I-2.2(d) of their new charter explicitly states that the Royal Edicts and National Laws mean nothing in Devon unless they vote to allow them.

This is not a regional dispute; it is a bloodless coup by ink and paper. By Section 2.6 of the National Treason Law,

"The act of turning any territory under the authority of England (county or town) independent of English rule by force or by vote without prior Monarch or Parliamentary approval."


The Council of Devon has codified their rebellion, yet they sit safely in their chambers while Count SparrowJack acts like a common cutthroat. Brokering human ransoms for Mac with the Wolves of Sherwood.

You, Niketas, told Miss Vivienne Degrey that internal conflict was stabbing ourselves in the foot to invite the sharks. But by staying silent for days while Devon secedes from our legal charters, you are not avoiding the sharks; you are, in fact, feeding the realm to them piece by piece.

You cannot deny the facts. They are written now in Devon's own charter. And they are written in the blood of the town that the vigilantes felt forced to "free" because the Crown offered them no shield against tyranny.

Under the Government of England Act of 1462, you are the Commander-in-Chief. You have thirty days of absolute military authority to crush an insurrection without waiting for the fractured Parliament. You have the power of attainder. You have the power to strip treasonous councillors of their titles. You have the legal machinery to right this wrong, yet the throne remains mute while Princess Llyres takes Mac away on a ship.

If the rogue army must face the law for their violence, then so true, Devon’s Council must face the law for their treason. Anything less is not peace; it is capitulation.

I implore you both to break your silence. Do not let it be said that the King and Heir of England only enforces the laws against the desperate, while allowing the tyrannical to write themselves out of his kingdom entirely.

What will you do to assist Devon?
Best,
Charisma

The letter brings forward legal facts that directly contradict the narrative His Majesty Niketas provided to this press. While the Monarch claimed to KAP that the Crown “does not have the power, either under the law or physically, to dictate a solution,” the The Government of England Act of 1462" tells a vastly different story.

According to national law, the Crown possesses thirty days of absolute military authority to handle insurrections, alongside the power of attainder.

More alarming is the revelation of Devon’s new charter, Section I-2.2(d), which reportedly declares Royal Edicts and National Laws void unless the county votes to allow them. However, Section 2.6 of the National Treason Law, this constitutes a bloodless, bureaucratic secession from England.

The Question for our readers is, if a rogue army is outlawed the moment blood is spilt, why is a rogue council met with silence when the sovereignty of the Kingdom is stripped away by ink and paper?

Following inquiries from KAP regarding these severe allegations of selective justice, King Niketas issued a formal public response to clarify the Crown's position on the legal contradictions raised by Charisma.

The Monarch stated that the open letter attempts to connect two entirely separate issues that share neither temporal proximity nor causality, offering four definitive counterpoints:

• 1) The Timeline of the Charter: Devon's revised Charter is by no means new or a sudden development. The review took place more than four months ago (on February 10th) during the previous reign, and is not a product of the current term.


• 2) No Active Insubordination: Over the last four months, Devon has not formally exercised any embedded clauses to deviate from or refuse National Laws or Institutions. Their actions have mirrored standard regional autonomy observed across other English counties.


• 3) Commitment to the Union: Devon's formal declarations have consistently affirmed their commitment to a unified Kingdom. Count SparrowJack previously clarified to Parliament that Devon does not seek to withdraw from the realm, adding that the county's revised measures are not retroactive and recognise "one Kingdom and one Crown."


• 4) Distinct Legal Frameworks: The Crown emphasised that the National Treason Law was never applied to the rogue army. Rather, they faced the National Outlawry Law due to the verified killing of travelers. Because the Devon Council has shed no blood, no "red lines" have been crossed to warrant a swift Outlawry Decree or royal military intervention.

In his concluding remarks to the public, His Majesty welcomed the active engagement and fair critique of the realm's citizens, stating: "I believe that talking about the Crown's power and how it should be wielded to enforce and subjugate is easy, but it is my earnest hope that whoever wears this crown in the future marks their red lines with prudency and frugality, and defends them vehemently, balancing responsibility against tyranny."

Furthermore, the Monarch noted that the Crown's Heir, Princess Jesijajo, has already engaged directly with Charisma regarding her letter, and he welcomed a similar open discussion with the satirist at a place of her choosing.


In Closing
His Majesty's prompt and detailed defence offers a fascinating look into the Crown's legal philosophy, but it leaves open a critical debate regarding the text of England's laws.

While the Monarch views Devon's revised charter as a dormant issue, arguing that no active insubordination has taken place, the literal text of Section 2.6 of the National Treason Law specifically includes independence established "by vote." By this standard, critics argue that the mere act of passing the charter constitutes a violation, regardless of whether Devon has actively enforced it yet.

Moreover, when the Crown claims it lacks the "power" to step in, it conveniently glides over the Government of England Act of 1462. That law explicitly hands the throne temporary military authority and the right of attainder during regional crises.

This leaves the realm wondering: Is the Crown genuinely legally helpless, or is it just choosing to look the other way? By treating Devon's charter as a minor paperwork issue rather than a rebellion, King Niketas is betting everything on diplomacy, even if it means tolerating a document that fundamentally challenges his own crown.
