Lord George Mountbatten

[Capt. Henry Morgan]

817 A.S. - Aboard the HMS Sovereign

George didn't know what to believe anymore. His whole world had just been turned upside down for the second time in his life. What he had believed to be true turned out to be the real lie.

Recently, he finally managed to open his father's Journals, which had been heavily encrypted. He was left with the distinct feeling that he wasn't supposed to read their contents. Now he knew why. He listened.

Personal Log of Lord Nelson Mountbatten. November 17, 784 A.S.

Preperations for my claim to the throne are complete. I have managed to create a convincing genealogy, and our family IS close enough to the throne historically for it to pass inspection. In addition, due to my post at the Cambridge University, I have finally gained full access to the ancient archives from the Sleeper Ship Bretonia itself. That was the easy part. Making the original files disappear in a manner consistent with the data loss from the journey was not quite as easy, but I have suceeded.

Yet, now that it comes down to it, I find that I do not have the will to commit to my strategy. After some considerable thought, I have decided that George must be the one to do it. I must wait for the right time to pass him the information. He's stronger willed than myself, and is more likely succeed where I have failed.

George checked and rechecked the journal for authenticity, hoping against hope that what he heard was not true. No matter how many times he went over the files, the result was the same. His own father had lied to him and used him to sow havoc in Bretonia.

Contrary to some people's accusations, George's first interest really was Bretonia, and not just a power-grab on his part. At this point, there was really only one thing left for him to do. He had to tell his own people the truth, then he must apologize to Her Majesty. He would probably still face execution for his effrontery, but that didn't bother him much. Death would probably be preferable to the pain he's feeling now.
