Hollow County not likely Accepted

(Year 235, Spring) We finally get some official report from the recent meeting between HRM King Tarriot and Count Vladislaus of Hollow, taking place at the royal palace. Vladislaus Straud (68) claims Count of Hollow, his title going 4 generations back, to be officially accepted by the Royal Chamber.

There exist no track of such a peerage in the official formal lists issued by the Royal Chamber, meaning there exists no Count of Hollow within the great peerage. However, House of Straud is fully registered with the public residents system, and the County seems mentioned occasionally, too, the Royal Chamber just never approved, and has nothing to do with those info pages.

Recently Mr Straud was observed arriving the royal palace, so, how did the meeting turn out?

If Hollow County would be accepted, it will get formally handled at the Royal Court, taking place on Investiture Day (1st Day of Winter). The line-up is traditionally announced in Spring, in order to give minimum half a year for anyone to protest. Did Mr Straud pick the time for his audience with that deadline in mind?

However, the Royal Palace Office (RPO) has now announced that the case will be looked into, but that the implementation of a 6th county is not very likely at this point. Several members of the Royal Chamber actually sees the great peerage as too big.

After the official photo, which is tradition with any audience with the Monarch, some confusion arrised.

A staff member was ready to show Mr Vladislaus Straud his way out of the grand palace, but suddenly the black dressed man was nowhere to be found! Staff is still debating whether the man might have taken one of the secret staff coriodors, by mistake.

Well, before end of Spring we will get to know whether his Hollow county will get an approval or not.
