| '''Prince Lucius, Duke of Lyressa''' (born Lucius Michael Constantine; 7 July 1903 - 18 September 1996) was a member of the [[House of Dimitrios|Belfrasian royal family]]. He was the third child and second son of the Sovereign Prince [[Philippos of Belfras|Philippos]]. He was the first member of the family born following the independence of [[Belfras]] at the start of the century and also the first to be born in [[Questros Palace]], which had previously been the residence of the [[Monarchy of Latium|Latin Emperor]] when they were in the country. He served his country in the Armed Forces until his honorable discharge in 1944, following which he served as Chancellor for his nephew, [[Georgio of Belfras|Georgio]], who had succeeded Philippos in 1924 at the age of 12. His tenure as Chancellor oversaw the country's involvement in the [[Social War]] in Latium and a large number of social and economic reforms that shaped the country through the middle half of the century. One of his largest achievements as chancellor was the nationalisation of the country's health sector and the law that made getting treatment free. His 30 year tenure as the Chancellor ended in 1974, at which point he retired to his estates in the west of the country until his death in 1996 at the age of 93. | | The '''Narwal'''-class nuclear powered attack submarine in service with the [[Velikoslavian Navy]]. Designed to achieve goals set forth by the admiralty for a competent, long-range submarine capable of operating alone in hostile waters in order to achieve a complicated set of objectives. The first Narwal-class submarine, NAME, was launched in 2018 and has been in service since 2020. |

| At his birth, Prince Lucius was the second in line to the throne, at his death he had become XXX in line. He was praised by his nephew on his retirement as being the backbone of the Federation in it's maturing years.

| == Early life ==
| |
| | |
| Lucius was born at Questros Palace on 7 July 1903, the first of the royal family to be born at the palace since the independence of the country 3 years earlier. He was the third child and second son of the Sovereign Prince [[Philippos of Belfras|Philippos]] and was baptised at the [[Cathedral of Saint Peter]] on 23 July 1903. He was 20 years younger than his brother, [[Nicholaus, Prince of Belfras|Nicholaus]] who was still settling into the position of Hereditary Prince. With his father attending foreign visits to secure the independent country's relations, some of Lucius' early life saw him looked after by both his brother and by a governess.
| |
| | |
| On 15 March 1912 at the age of 7 Lucius lost his brother in the [[Belfro-Mutulese war of 1911]], the birth of Nicholaus' son, [[Georgio of Belfras|Georgio]] one month later caused Lucius to be, for a month, the Hereditary Prince. The rest of Lucius' education at Questros concluded without incident and he was sent to the Eredid academy in Mondria where he took up horse riding and polo for academic sports during his studies. He spend six months in [[Latium]] on an exchange program to the University of Ascanium in [[Latium]].

| Lucius left the military in 1944, having conducted a 23 year career honourably. In his forties, Lucius had planned to spend a few years quietly in his estates with his children and horses with one of his first monetary projects being the construction of a private yacht with which he intended to take his family on a tour of the Periclean and Ozeros. A year following his departure, however, he had been approached by his nephew the Sovereign Prince [[Georgio of Belfras|Georgio]], who had been in power since 1924 but had just suffered the death of his chancellor, [[Peter Vanderos, Duke of Orestes|The Duke of Orestes]] from a short-term illness. Georgio had personally asked his uncle to accept the role of Chancellor, an executive position that would place him as the second most powerful man in the country behind Georgio himself. He had accepted it, reportedly on the grounds that he would help the Sovereign Prince through the [[Social War]], a civil war in Latium that had started in April that year, and then assist him in finding a replacement.

| On his assumption of office the Federation had already pledged support for [[Diana I Anicia|Empress Diana]] and had begun combat operations both at sea and on land. In a televised speech, Lucius used his first address as chancellor to state that "..all enemies of the Empress were enemies of the Federation", with all efforts to be made to secure their ancestral homeland back to the Imperial crown. In a private meeting that day with the Latin ambassador to the Federation, Lucius had, with the approval of Georgio, proposed to expand the military force inside Latium from the expeditionary group led by [[Michael, Duke of Eunos|The Duke of Eunos]] the Field Marshal of the army. The increase in manpower, approved in September - A month after his assumption of office - resulted in an expeditionary force of 50,000 soldiers to be deployed across the Salacian Ocean.
| | {| class="wikitable" |
| | |
| While the war in Latium would last until 1947 and despite not being in office when the Federation had joined the war, Lucius quickly came up against opposition for policies both in protest and in the senate, with senators across the hall demanding that the Federation withdraw and focus on matters in Norumbia, where a growing Elatia put fears of another war to the front of the newspaper. An address by him in November, which marked the point when the deployment in Latium had now reached 60,000 soldiers and the recent loss of a destroyer with all hands, laid the foundations of the Home Guard, a component of the military's reserve that would "..utilise in emergencies reserve, volunteer and conscription-based forces for alleviation of military strength in times of emergency, including war."
| |
| | |
| Following the end of the Social War Lucius had assured Georgio that his previous insistence of serving briefly was now not an issue and he was happy to maintain his position. Starting in spring 1948 Lucius toured the Federation, now post-war Latium and visited allies overseas with his return to duties in Thessalona resuming in November that year. His tour, he told reporters in his later years, was to outline others expectations of the Federation and how they might be managed with considerations of their own taken into true account. The rising cost of medical bills, seen as a consequence to the Social War, increasing manufacturing costs from abroad and the new import tax caused Lucius to begin the foundations of nationalising the health sector and guaranteeing citizens the right to free medical treatment.

| | |
| == Death ==
| |
| | |
| Lucius died in the afternoon of 18 September 1996 at the age of 93 after suffering from {{wpl|pneumonia}} which had been attributed to {{wpl|old age}}. His sons Marcus and Servius had been at his bedside when he died.
| |
| | |
| The [[Royal Household of Belfras|Royal household]] announced his death two days following his death on 20 September, to give the royal family time to ensure his friends had all been told personally before it became public. His funeral took place on Friday, 11 October 1996 which had been declared an emergency bank holiday by Sovereign Prince [[Nicholaus of Belfras|Nicholaus]], who led mourners at his funeral. The ceremony, which took place at Questros Palace and the Cathedral of Saint Peter, had been attended by a group of 20,000 and a audience in the cathedral of 1,900. At the conclusion of the funeral Lucius' coffin was escorted out of [[Thessalona]] where it was transported to his estates in western Belfras, where he was buried in a plot of his choosing in his will.
| |
| | |
| In his life he had publicly enjoyed active hobbies such as football and his equestrian activities, which later on in his life evolved into raising horses for sport and leisure. He had put aside his own needs twice, to join the military and serve a fruitful career and to then serve as his nephews Chancellor for most of Georgio's reign.
