Cornelia va Ffion

(click to show/hide)

Neither the Ffion family nor its House ever stood out in Gratis. It was noble and its master, Vali, had machinations, but its standing among the nobility was tremendously middling. In truth, this was exactly where it wanted to be. Not so high as to garner attention from the Imperium, nor so low as to garner derision from the other noble houses. In its entirety and for many years, it was a happy cog in the machine of Gratis.

One day, just more than twelve years ago, its heir was born. Or should have been. As with any noble house, the birthday of its first born son was looked forward to as an auspicious day. This was a black day for the family, however, as it was not a son that was born, but a daughter, whom her mother named Cornelia.

The lady of the house, Crina Ffion, had been assumed to be barren until 5 months before. Nonetheless, Vali had yet to take another wife. The audacity of this betrayal was simply too much. Crina cared for her daughter, and Vali provided for her, but this was all. She was afforded a single retainer, Winthrop, by her father: though he was young at the time, he would grow into the role. He would serve the purpose of her tutor, her guide in the city, her advisor and any miscellaneous needs she might have. Crina, on the other hand, passed on to Cornelia her own retainer, Natali, a silent girl, who was all but invisible, and who would see to Cornelia's care and well-being.

As Cornelia grew, she would need to be perfect. An ideal daughter of Ffion, if she were to escape the notice or the scorn of her father. She knew her mother only in her early years. Crina was kind and warm, but shielded her daughter from Vali's impatience on multiple occaisions. For this defiance, Crina disappeared from Cornelia's life when she was seven years of age, taken to asylum for madness, and it was at this time that the heart of Ffion was laid bare to Cornelia, corrupt and malicious.

She would not recoil, though. After the initial shock of her reality fell away, Cornelia set a campaign into motion. With the aid of her only two retainers, she began by slowly gathering information for two years, and then proceeded to the Imperium halls of government, where she spent the next two learning its laws and the by-laws, various revised codes and regulations of Gratis.

It wasn't the crimes that spurred such a child into action, but the malice and the apathy with which they were carried out. Since long before Cornelia's birth, Vali had traded in slaves and exotic prostitutes, controlled a trade of sannish through the lower quarters of Gratis, exploited non-citizens for a variety of profitable ends, and though it took her most of a year to find proof of it, maintained an august, highly exclusive dream room. The Imperium didn't ban most of these things, but they did require permits, and Vali operated without them. They were ignored by the Watch and the Imperium, and after Natali investigated the matter only briefly, Cornelia added wanton bribery to her father's list of crimes. And as long as the right bribes were paid, the Imperium simply didn't care.

What they did care for, however, is where Vali's iniquity interfered with the Imperium's ability to serve itself. Morally speaking, there is nothing truly damning about tax evasion, but Vali had been abusing loopholes of political and legal artifice for fifteen years by then, effectively stealing thousands of gold from the city. They weren't particularly fond of that.

Cornelia had learned no love for her father in the eleven years of her life so far. In its stead, she learned prudence and wisdom beyond her years. She could never be seen, in her bedchamber, on the streets, nor anywhere else, without the company of at least one of her two golems. One, an impressive purchase with Winthrop's aid, and the other an impressive find - a living golem - among the non-citizenry.

By now, she had a half-brother, nine years of age. In the event of her father's untimely demise or incapacitation, her brother would inherit the estate and an appointed steward would overlook the house affairs until he came of age. It took several months to arrange the coup, but the reckoning was swift and brutal.

She began by filing for her own emancipation, using the Magic and a few extra coins per delivery to keep their profile low. The process would take an exact number of days. During this time, she arranged limited evidence of Vali's tax evasion and quietly approached her brother. Groomed for his role and well cared for, he was still too naive to have an edge over his sister's designs. She explained to him in simple terms how the following few days would progress. He surrendered his inheritance willingly.

Perhaps you would be amazed at how quickly your well-laid plans will fall apart when a payment of off-the-books gold is not delivered to a city official on the same day that the physical location of your august, highly exclusive dream room is delivered to the Watch in the form of an anonymous letter. Perhaps you would not. And perhaps you would be amazed at how quickly the Imperium can freeze your assets when an audit of your tax status is requested in-house, and how your attempts at reprisal can be thrown askew by learning via letter that your heir, who has gone on extended holiday with his mother, has willingly given over his inheritance to your unwanted daughter. Perhaps you would not.

Vali Ffion was. He was also amazed at how quickly the proceedings went along, how ineffectual his barristers had suddenly become, and exactly how long he would be a guest of the Imperial dungeons for his crimes. It would be for at least the duration of the audit, which was taking significantly longer than the legal proceedings were... just to get underway. Indeed, the Imperium had many audits waiting in the wings, and so very few auditors to perform them, and only after it was done could his actual sentence begin, during all of which time, he was considered legally incapacitated, and his heir assumed control of the estate.

Which she promptly liquidated in its near entirety, to the state itself, before it could be seized by the same. Only its status as a noble house and a small collection of its required secondary effects remained. Even if Vali could somehow excuse himself from the sentencing, he would still have nothing to his name, and that was exactly how Cornelia wanted it.
