=== The King is Dead!!!! Long Live the King!!!!: 28th December 1752 ===
That is correct, at 3:00pm, during a parade of the royal regiments, King Bach I was assassinated in his throne. The assassin was one of the Anzian aids to the Anzio embassy. The King was bludgeoned over the head with a purse containing several Pyrusian commemorative coins of the death of King Waghallen. The assassin was executed after a brief hearing at 4:00pm. Also a few moments after his execution the ambassadorial aid to Pyrus from Anzio was put on trial for being connected to the assassination and was also executed at 5.00pm.
So who is the new King? The new king is the former Prince of Pyrus, Prince Balin now King Balin I, who will be crowned at 12.00am [sic noon]. This also means that there will be various promotions within the Royal Family.
It is unfortunate that the new king will have to prepare this year's budget when no one expected such a brutal murder. It is feared by some members of the Nobility that the king will this year over spend his budget because of his generosity. Also the new king has a passion for war so it is expected that there will be a large increase in the armies and navies spending.
This reporter hopes that the new king is as good as his Father was, for if he is not then our Kingdom is certainly doomed.
The following changes in the Royal Family are:
*King of Pyrus - Balin Derfel
*Queen of Pyrus - Olwen Derfel
*Prince of Pyrus - Cunglas Derfel
*Earl of Pyrus - Tewdric Derfel

=== Derfel ===
On Sunday afternoon the twenty-eighth of December ultimo, at three o'clock, our late Most Gracious Sovereign King Bach the First was murdered at Bachstadt in the seventy-first year of His age, and fifty-first of His Reign. This event has caused one universal feeling of regret and sorrow to His late Majesty's faithful and attached Subjects, to whom He was endeared by the deep interest in their welfare which He invariably manifested, as well as by the eminent and impressive virtues which illustrated and adorned His character.
