##### 14 Hirotashi 4361, [[Session 29]] # le Correspondant ## Reformists Shock Theatregoers with Crude Stunt #### By Louise D'Aboville At least six people have been arrested in central Béliveau in connection with a protest organised by the 'Acolytes of the Chamber' during the Honeyed Moon annual performance at the Grand Chateau Theatre. The 'Acolytes of the Chamber', or, the Acolytes, was set up in 4272 and was formally established as a campaign group in 4308 to lobby for the abolition of the monarchy. It would see Princess Lorelai Monet Béliveau replaced with an elected head of state, for example, a president. It argues that a system where power and patronage is based entirely on a hereditary monarchy is unfair and goes against democracy. In a statement on one of its pamphlets, the group says: “Because we can’t hold Princess Lorelai and her family to account at the ballot box, there’s nothing to stop them abusing their privilege, misusing their influence or simply wasting our money.” It often gains publicity around royal events, with an increase in coverage ahead of Queen Céline's and her Prince Consort's death in 4311 – and rises in support in the early part of the 4310s when Duchess Adrienne II Cyrille claimed rule of Pacé upon Princess Lorelai's leave for Elysée. Acolytes were hoping about 15 protesters would demonstrate in the Grand Chateau Theatre on Wineday during the annual performance of the Honeyed Moon performance, disrupting the play’s final act with a faked stabbing using a prop dagger and chicken’s blood. The display has been the most outward and lurid yet of the Acolytes, with previously campaigning with signage at royal events, including the Pâques in 4360, where dozens of them held banners saying “citizen, not subject” on the banks of the eastern New Dawnhold coast during the pageant, where a flotilla of 1,000 boats sailed down the east bank and were inspected by the princess. --- ## Manticore's Shadow Renovations Taking Longer Than Expected #### By Jade Bernard ==Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
