In the KOP chapel. Gen Elson take a seat in the front roll and awaiting for other knights to join him.

In his mind, he start to remember the first time he heard Maj Degas name at the KotR chamber. From the that, he know that he was a person he will look forward to meet him.

After taking over the command of KoP, Maj Degas apply to become a member, he ability (full stats in all) and his name bring KoP into another mile stone.

Must depart quickly and return to my Duties as Honour Guard over him at the
Abbey

Maeve solemnly enters the Chapel and kneels at the altar. For a short time she offers up a silent prayer to Jah and His Son Christos. Ever since she has heard of the death of Prince Degas she had been saddend by the loss of such a great man. When she was asked to perform this small memorial service, she had been greatly honoured and truth to tell, greatly scared too. She had spent many nights with her gracious mentor and tutor Mother Finn, learning the words that were needed to say. Actually, no. The words she knew, they were buried deep within her heart. What she had to learn was how to pronounce them in a way that would be understood by all. It was no good for her to speak these solemn words in her broad Scottish brogue and so she knelt now, praying to Jah that she would say the right words in the right way so that she might best honour a great man.

Having received an invitation from General Elson to attend her husbands memorial service, Lady CruzinCat has the Royal Carriage readied for the trip to the KoP Chapel.

Arriving at the Chapel entrance, the footman opens the door for her and helps her out. Straightening her skirts and pulling her shawl around her shoulders, she makes her way up the steps and enters the chapel. Looking around at all the familiar faces she smiles at each of them as she walks to the front and takes a seat. Bowing her head she says a silent prayer for her husband.

Standing up, she turns and faces the assembled knights. All of them are brave, honourable warriors and the look of mourning on their faces, touches her deeply. The sight of the late Prince's wife and current Regent didn't do her nerves much good, but she was ready to do her best to honour them both. Softly she clears her throat and speaks:

"We are here today to honour the memory of a fallen comrade; His Royal Highness Prince Richard Morgan Degas. He was not Aristotelian, but one of our Brethren the Spinozists. I do not feel that Jah or Hashem will take offense at us choosing to honour him in this way as it is true that in Death, all men become equal. The truth of friendship will raise his heart and if it is worthy to join the Lord, he will not fall as the body towards the fire of the hells, but on the contrary, he will find his true nature, which is to rise towards our Lord.

Brethren, we are here to gather in friendship as a family in sorrow. It is also ours to recall that Jah remembers all that was good in the life of our brother, Prince Degas.

We are here in this chapel, gathered around Prince Degas, to be aware of the bond of love, which always linked him to God, which links God with each one of us at all times. Death will come for each one of us; for some early, for others later, for some in their youth, for others in their old age. The Lord warns us: "Be ready, be always ready because you know neither the day nor the hour". Aristotle guided us and Christos invites us to follow his example, to find our joy in living for others, to love as they loved us.

Before leaving the chapel, we will say a last good bye to our brother Prince Degas. With respect and affection, let us entrust him to God in the hope that we will meet again in His presence."

At this Maeve pauses and allows for a moment of silence so that everyone has the chance to offer up their own silent prayers for the late Prince. After allowing enough time, she concludes the service:

"With all those who preceded us, who live already in the presence of the Lord and with the immense procession of the saints, let us wish him a good journey.

Those who wish to may speak."

Stepping aside she allows for others to step and speak about the Prince if they so desired. She stayed nearby so that she could be on hand to offer solace and comfort as needed.
