From the Office of the Landgraf von Beiersdorf-Freudenberg-in-exile
In the matter of
Honouring the new Kaiser
YOUR IMPERIAL MAJESTY, the Kaiser Frederick Augustus Second of the Name, Kaiser of Holzborg, Supreme Sovereign of the Holzer Reich, King of Holstein et alii, greeting.
My name is Johann Boyen. My family have long been faithful servants of the Empire and her Kaisers, dating back to the first of my line, Hans Boyen, my great-great-grandfather. That same servant of your imperial ancestor was, in recognition of his valiant actions as a soldier in the Imperial Armed Forces, granted the title of Langrave of his home town of Beiersdorf-Freudenberg in 1910, and the succession of his heirs was guaranteed forever so long as they served the Kaiser dutifully.
However, your predecessor Hans-Fredrich broke this guarantee. He demanded my family to be rooted out of the ground, our ground, in the North, without prior explanation or justification and I was forced to flee the country. I took refuge in the briefly independent Principality of Ludenberg, where Prince William welcomed me warmly, for which I was thankful.
I return to my homeland of Holzborg now in the hope that the Imperial Court and I, lowly Landgraf, might be able to reconcile, and that I might be granted my ancestral homelands back to me as is only right.
All respect and glory to you, Kaiser Frederick Augustus. May you be remembered for your wisdom and perception in years to come.
Yours sincerely,
Johann Boyen von Beiersdorf-Freudenberg
Johann Boyen
Landgrave of Beiersdorf-Freudenberg
