The blackguard known as Ansel Xavier is hereby pardoned of all crimes against the Kingdom of Gallia and henceforth is bound to the Royal Navy until his crimes have been atoned. Which won't be anytime soon.
So, kindly avoid shooting the bastard Joseph. He actually knows how to lead, unlike some people who shall not be named.
Signed,
Adelaide Roux, Marquise of Orleanais
Grande Marechal of the Royal Navy
