It was simple and in the country and he promised a grander manor after he completed their new home but Lady Penelope was happy with their country manor in Norfolk Territory.

Lady Penelope was an accomplished seamstress and she started up her own business and she made the other ladies dresses and she preferred the regency style dresses but she did almost any style from Regency to Edwardian style dresses and all the ladies came to her to make their dresses.

Lady Patricia gave birth to their first child, Lord Frederick William  in 2045 and following him Lord Richard Edward in 2051, followed by Lady Victoria Charlotte in 2057, followed by Lord Patrick William in 2062, and Norfolk Territory was secure.

Cadet Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell walks out of the shuttle craft and she takes a suite at Madame's Boarding House. She is old fashion in some ways but she is unconventional in other ways when it comes to marriage.

Cadet Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell loves to sing and dance and she doesn't take notice to who is watching her as she sings and dances on top of the hilltop that overlooks Star Fleet Academy.

Cadet Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell loves to read, she loves art, and literature and she loves nature.

The other young women that reside at Madame's Boarding House are aristocrats and she calls them "Stuffy runny nose aristocrats."

Most of the young women there are attending Finishing school and she is about to start Star Fleet Academy and she is going to pursue a career in Medical Science and Pediatrics.

Well, in July of 2274 she is sitting on the top of the hill that overlooks Star Fleet Academy and she starts dancing and singing under the bright sunlight of Star Base 12 and she doesn't realize that there are three gentlemen watching but she doesn't notice.

Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley, Lt.Commander David Beck, and Lord Andrew Charles Howard the youngest and unconventional son of Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and Lady Patricia Eugenie Howard nee Stuart.

Cadet Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell takes no notice who is watching her and she is Pagan and they love music and nature.

Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley is the first to notice Cadet Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell and he is a Junior at Star Fleet Academy.

Lt Kevin Thomas Riley was born in the year of 2249 on Planet Q and he starts to study at Star Fleet Academy on Star Base 12 in 2267 at the age of 18.

The second gentleman to take notice of Cadet Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell is Lt. Commander David William Beck who is also a descendant of Lord John Howard the 2nd Duke of Norfolk through is son, Lord Thomas Howard but through the female side.

Lt. Commander David William Beck was the grandson of Lord Edwin William Howard was the third son of Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR and Lady Sarah Winston and he married Lady Penelope Rich nee Devereux who was the daughter of Lord Walter Devereux and Lady Lettice Knolly who was a direct descendant of Lady Mary Boleyn the eldest daughter of Lord Thomas Boleyn and Lady Elizabeth Howard the eldest daughter of Lord Thomas Howard 2nd Duke of Norfolk and his first wife, Lady Elizabeth Tilney that blessed him with many children three were Lord Thomas Howard 3rd Duke of Norfolk, Lady Elizabeth Howard that married Lord Thomas Boleyn and she gave him three children, Lady Mary Boleyn, Lord George Boleyn and Queen Anne Boleyn that married King Henry VIII of England and they were the parent's of the greatest Queen that England ever saw her name was Queen Elizabeth the First of England.

Lord David William Beck turned five years old when Lord Andrew Charles Howard was born in 2250 and they were first cousins's once removed.

Lord Edwin William Howard was not given a title as his eldest brother Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR was and his middle brother, Lord Richard Edward Howard married against his father's will and he lost his right to his inheritance.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard married Lady Patricia Eugene Stuart in June of 2228 much against will as he was in love with another woman, Lady Charlotte Augusta Beck the sister of Lord William David Beck that married his niece, Lady Eliza Katherine Howard.

Lady Patricia Stuart protested to her father Lord Matthew Stuart  that she didn't love Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR but it didn't do good and she was dragged to the altar and they were married.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard was the youngest son of Lord Charles Andrew Howard and he didn't believe in the aristocracy and he refused to marry a woman that he didn't love.

Lord Andrew Charles Howard was tall, good looking, but he was unconventional and he was rebellious and defiant but again then again very few younger sons succeed their father's to their Dukedoms.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR like every aristocrat made sure that his children married into some of the most prominent families on Star Base 12 and it started with Lord Charles Andrew Howard III with Lady Victoria Charlotte Stanhope in 2251.

The next one to marry was his eldest daughter Lady Patricia Charlene to Lord Ralph Neville in 2253, followed by Lord Patrick William to Lady Pauline Charlene Stafford in 2258 and then Lady Charlotte Augusta to Lord Charles Patrick Stafford in 2263 and that only left Lord Andrew Charles to marry in 2269.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR summoned his youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles into drawing room and he said, " It's time that you marry Lord Andrew Charles."

"I will not marry a woman that I don't love father and mother. " Lord Andrew Charles exclaims.

"I have seen the disastrous marriages of Lord Charles Andrew III and Lord Patrick William." Lord Andrew states.

"Neither of your brother's have produced one child since they were married Lord Andrew Charles." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells him.

"Is that my fault father. " Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"Personally I wouldn't touch either of them if I didn't love them." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"You didn't want to marry mother as you told me so." Lord Andrew Charles protests.

"I will not marry a woman that I don't love and furthermore I will not even consummate my marriage with them." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"Tell my brother's to start making love to their wives." Lord Andrew Charles protests and with that Lord Andrew Charles bows and exits the drawing room.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR looks at his wife Lady Patricia and she just looks at him, but what can he do.
