Lady Karissa with Lady Elizabeth and Lady Samhain arrive back at Beltane Manor along with Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory on May 31, 2280.
Lord Andrew Charles, Lord Charles Andrew Junior, and Lord Charles Andrew III meet The Howard carriage in front of Beltane Manor and Lord Andrew Charles walks up to the carriage and he offers Lady Karissa his hand and she accepts it " How was Pembroke?"
"Pembroke Territory is amazing and the people are so warm." Lady Karissa tells Lord Charles Andrew JR "but tell me about your grand Aunt, Lady Elizabeth Ann Howard?"
"I don't know much about her, but she was born in 2170 to my great-grandfather and he adored her the Marchioness of Pembroke Territory at birth and she had a regent from 2170-2189, and then she governed Pembroke on her own from 2189-2250." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.
"I remember her as she outlived my worthless father, and grandfather, by the way." Lord Charles Andrew JR says with a laugh.
"We dropped off Lord Frederick William Howard to his Dukedom of Windor and Lord Thomas William Howard to his Dukedom and Lord Patrick William II to his Dukedom before we continued on our way, and we saw Kevin and his friend back to Star-Fleet Academy." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"Lord Richard William Carey is the best of your family, I declare." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles, " Is that because he comes from the matrilineal line of Lord Patrick William Howard." Lady Karissa asks.
"Lady Sophia Charlotte was my grandaunt." Lord Andrew Charles states, " She was the daughter of my grandfather, Lord Frederick William Howard Senior." Lord Andrew Charles states.
"I guess that Lady Virginia Beaufort was delighted the birth of such an amazing daughter." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles " Didn't she outlive her brothers?"
"My Aunt Sophia Charlotte lived until 2250, and died around the same time her aunt, Lady Elizabeth Ann Howard died." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.
"Lady Sophia Charlotte was born in 2185 and she died in 2250 and she was 65 when she finally passed away." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lady Karissa.
"Lady Sophia Charlotte was 4 years old when her aunt, Lady Elizabeth Ann started to govern Pembroke Territory on her own. I don't know why my father didn't appoint my aunt to Pembroke Territory." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.
"I had a sister, Lady Sophia Charlotte named for her aunt born in 2216, and she could have succeeded our grand aunt, Lady Elizabeth Ann in 2250, and I would have done it." Lord Charles Andrew JR states, "but my sorry excuse father married her off."
"My sister was married to Lord Antonio Bourbon in 2234 and they live in Lennox Territory, and they have two children, Lady Antionette Bourbon and Lord Antonio Bourbon." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lady Karissa.
"According to my great-grandfather only a Howard could inherit the Dukedom of Pembroke Territory, and since you are a Howard through marriage it would go to you." Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR states.
"Lady Elizabeth is my heiress until our son, has a daughter." Lady Karissa explains.
"Lady Elizabeth child will become the next Duchess of Norfolk Territory." Lady Karissa explains.
"Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR. You must really visit Pembroke Territory and the castle that your great-grandfather built. I have added some paintings to the painting in the gallery." Lady Karissa states.
"I have decided to start a portrait gallery of famous women that rules throughout the ages it will begin with Empress Matilda, mother of King Henry II of England, followed by Lady Joan of Cornwall, Queen Margaret of France, Lady Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, Lady Elizabeth de Segrave, Lady Margaret de Mowbray, Lady Elizabeth Howard, Queen Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth I of England, Kosem, Sultana of The Ottoman Empire, Queen Anne of England, Empress Catherine I of Russia, Empress Catherine II of Russia, and Queen Victoria of England." Lady Karissa states. "Of course, Lady Margret Penelope Devereux."
"You have to give credit to Lady Margaret Devereux given birth to Lord Frederick WIlliam Howard and Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort for giving birth to your father, and Lady Patricia Eugenie Stuart for giving birth to Lord Charles Andrew III, Lord Patrick William II and Lord Andrew Charles, although I pity Lady Patricia for hatching Lord Andrew Charles in 2250." Lady Karissa tells Lord Charles Andrew JR.
"Well, if she hadn't hatched such a creature I wouldn't have my Elizabeth, so I have to thank her for that." Lady Karissa states.
"I have to thank Lady Jeanette for giving birth to the great-grandmother of Lord Richard William Carey." Lady Karissa tells Lord Charles Andrew JR.
Lord Richard William Carey walks over to Lady Karissa, and he takes her into his arms, and he kisses her in front of Lord Andrew Charles and tells him " One day I am going to take Lady Karissa from you."
Lord Andrew Charles tells his second cousin, " We will see about that, Lord Richard William. We have two more children to go."
"Lord David sends his regards to you, Lord Charles Andrew JR." Lady Karissa tells him.

Lord Charles Andrew JR embraces his son, Lord Andrew Charles " I have my first-born grandson, finally."
Lady Karissa gets dressed and she walks out of the room, and she looks at Lord Charles Andrew Jr and Lord Andrew Charles " Listen here, gentlemen. My ELIZABETH is going to govern this damn territory after her father."
"Lord Anthony is our third child and first son, and I will not see MY ELIZABETH lose her place." Lady Karissa states.
"Brood all you want on the birth of Lord Anthony Christopher if you want, but Lady Elizabeth is the heiress." Lady Karissa states.
"Lord David. Please take Lord Anthony back to his crib and ask Barbara to take care of him and bring in Lady Elizabeth and Lady Samhain to meet their new brother." Lady Karissa asks.
Lord David walks over and he takes the new Duke of Lancaster Territory in his arms and Lady Karissa looks at Lord Andrew Charles and she tells him " Get yourself a mistress."
"I don't want a mistress when I have a wife." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"Frankly, my dear. I don't give a damn what you want." Lady Karissa states and she wants backs into the suite where Lord Anthony is laying in his crib and Lady Elizabeth and Lady Samhain are looking down in his cradle.
Lady Elizabeth and Lady Samhain become Lady Karissa's helpers to their new little brother, and they all grow very close to each other.
