A Royal Revelation

Countess Delcroix’s newest suiter spotted?

By Helena Korr

Morobe’s high society gathered in full force last night to celebrate the launch of the Starlight Garden of Jou’s Grace, a recently constructed Ithorian Herdship designed to function as a mobile spacefaring cathedral to spread the good word of Jou. While the evening was intended to honor this monument to the Lost Vigo, the unexpected reunion of Sovereign Countess Lilith Delcroix and Privateer Captain Jecal Nadrihm became the talk of the royal court.

The gala took place in the opulent Illumine Palace on Moroa, where it quickly became evident that the real story of the night was the chemistry between the Countess and the Captain. The two women were seen whispering and sharing private smiles throughout the evening, appearing completely at ease with one another— a stark contrast to the usual formality of royal events. At one point, the Monarch was even spotted placing a hand on Nadrihm’s arm, an intimate gesture that did not go unnoticed by guests.

Despite their close contact, the nature of their relationship remains a mystery. Could this simply be a sign of rekindled camaraderie following Nadrihm’s return, or is there something deeper developing between them? As one palace insider remarked, “Seeing the Countess so relaxed in the company of someone like Nadrihm is rare, and it speaks volumes.”

Nadrihm, the celebrated war hero and privateer, made her first public appearance after a secretive spiritual pilgrimage that had kept her out of the spotlight for nearly a decade. Rumors had circulated that the warrior-turned-philosopher was on a journey of introspection, one that promised to shape the next chapter of her life. Her return was nothing short of captivating: dressed in elegant attire that matched her formidable presence, Nadrihm stood by the Monarch’s side, drawing the gaze of every observer in the room. With her return to public life, some are now wondering if Nadrihm’s journey has led her to more than just self-discovery, but perhaps to a spiritual connection with the Countess.

Jou’s new Cathedral, purported to foster connections among the people of the galaxy under Jou’s eternal grace, seems to reflect the potential of this new relationship. Could Countess Delcroix and Captain Nadrihm be laying the groundwork for something greater in their own lives?

As the evening drew to a close, guests couldn’t help but buzz about the two women, who seemed to transcend the boundaries of royal duty and warrior resolve. Is this the beginning of a royal romance, or merely a fleeting connection? The future of The Church of Jou and Morobe’s royal family may depend on the direction this newfound bond takes. For now, all eyes are on Sovereign Countess Lilith Delcroix and Captain Jecal Nadrihm — Moroa’s potential newest power couple.
