My fellow Britons, those present from nations overseas, I speak to you today not as a high commanding officer of Great Britain and Ireland. I speak to you as the King and Grand Duke of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a nation which has been, and is one of Britain’s closest allies.

In my time I have been many things, held many positions, and been in many guilds. From Prince of Spain, to Emperor of Japan, to Prince and Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, to King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Prussia, and HCO of Britain, one person has been with me through all of that. One person that I never lost the support of, the person that I led one of the best SvS guilds with. That person is Ben Squidskull (Dandandragon).

Ben was a Prince of Spain along with me, a fellow officer in the Spanish guilds back in the day. Together with Cadet, we started a rebellion against the Spanish government. Although this rebellion would ultimately fall short of its goals, out of it came the guild The Complex. It is through my experiences in this guild that I began to realize Ben’s skills as a leader.

Today he serves as Grand Crown Hetman of the Commonwealth, he is the head of the Polish-Lithuanian military, in charge of land and sea operations. I can personally attest to his skills, and anyone who questions them should first examine themselves. There are not many people that I trust as much as Ben, and my trust is certainly difficult to acquire.

Therefore, it is with great honor that I announce that the question of French leadership has been answered. Ben Squidskull will be the next King of France, and he has most certainly earned it. He has the support of Duchess of Anemois (Grace Goldtimbers), and possesses the skills necessary to make France a prosperous nation. He is the kind of leader that France needs, and the one that it deserves.

In light of his ascension to the throne, Ben has elected to remain in the Polish-Lithuanian guild where he serves as an officer. He has also chosen to retain his position as Grand Crown Hetman of the Commonwealth. What this means is that anyone that would threaten France or Ben Squidskull’s status as King will in turn be threatening the Commonwealth and our guild. We will defend France’s borders and Squidskull’s reign, as he is one of us.

May his reign be a just and prosperous one. May he elevate France to the stage it once held and deserves.

Now join me in congratulating the new King of France.

Long live King Louis Philippe I.
