A petition:
His Imperial Highness Prince Jonathan The Duke of New Aquitane
(Mirza Jonathan Merlingsson Ayreon-Kalirion)
Claimant
His Imperial Highness Prince Karl The Prince of Walstadt
(Karl Blutwasser von und zu Walstadt, zu Licht)
Respondent
REQUEST
May it please the Court to adjudge and declare:
1. That the so-called adoption of me by Prince Karl of Walstadt is null and void.
2. That my adoption of Ludwig (the father of Prince Karl) remains valid.
3. That legally, Prince Karl is my grandson, and afforded all the rights stemming from that right.
BACKGROUND
4. I adopted Ludwig Blutwasser and Benjamin Ædwynn Nebuchadnezzar.
5. Ludwig Blutwasser died and the throne of Walstadt was succeeded to bit his eldest son Karl.
6. Prince Karl severed his familial ties with Ayreon-Kalirion, no longer recognizing other members of the Ayreon-Kalirion extended family as family.
7. Prince Karl then proceeded by adopting me as his youngest son (when, in fact, were I to be his son, I would be his eldest, but I do not consider myself his son) against my own wishes.
OTHER
8. I reserve the right to call on witnesses, should the matter go to trial.
9. I humbly ask that amici curiae will be able to submit briefs to the Court.
Respectfully signed,
Jonathan
