CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS TO THE HONORABLE SUCCESSOR
Sir Alfred
I am delighted by your succession as the honourable master of the Ashford family.
In accordance with the Ashford family's custom, I hereby present to you a porcelain vase as a gift.
This tradition derives from a golden tea cup given as a gift to Lady Veronica, the Ashford family founder famed for her beauty and brilliance, by her butler at that time.
Second generation master Sir Stanley and his son Sir Thomas, who also served as the third generation master, were also bestowed similar craftsmen-made objects by Lady Veronica.
Following that, the seat was succeeded by Sir Arthur, twin brother of Sir Thomas...
It was then passed down from Sir Arthur to your grandfather, Sir Edward, and the Ashford family reached its peak.
The establishment of the giant corporation Umbrella was the result of Sir Edward's achievements as well.
However, ever since Sir Edward passed away and your father Sir Alexander succeeded as master, I gradually began to observe a cloud hanging over the glorious Ashford family.
I pray that with your guidance, the Ashford family will once more attain this vase's eternal glow.

当主御継承の祝詞
アルフレッド様
この度のアシュフォード家当主御継承心よりお喜び申し上げます。
つきましてはアシュフォード家の慣例に従い、祝品である陶器の壷を贈らせて頂きます。
この慣例は聡明さとその美しさで名高い我がアシュフォード家創始者ベロニカ様に当時の執事が記念の品として金色に輝くティーカップを作らせて贈った事に由来しています。
二代目当主のスタンリー様、スタンリー様のご子息であり三代目当主のトーマス様に仕えた者も、ベロニカ様にあやかり同様の品を職人に作らせて贈りました。
その後当主の座はトーマス様とは双子のご兄弟であるアーサー様へ･･･
アーサー様からあなた様のおじい様であるエドワード様へと受け継がれ、我がアシュフォード家は最盛の時を迎えるに至ったのです。
アンブレラという大製薬会社の設立もエドワード様のご活躍の賜物でございます。
しかし、エドワード様がお亡くなりになり、あなたのお父様アレクサンダー様が当主をご継承なさった頃から、徐々に栄光のアシュフォード家にも翳りが見えはじめたのでございます。
あなた様のお導きにより、再びアシュフォード家に、この壷の如き永遠の輝きが宿らんことを祈って

MESSAGE TO THE NEW FAMILY
Sir Alfred,
Congratulations on your succession as master as the Ashford family. I hereby present you with an earthenware vase, according to the Ashford family tradition. As you may know, this tradition first began when a butler presented a golden teacup as a commemorative to Veronica. As founder of the Ashford family, her intelligence and beauty are legendary.
The second and third, masters, Stanley and his son Thomas were also presented with similar teacups. It was their hope to achieve glory as Veronica did before them. The position as family master then shifted to Sir Thomas to his twin brother Sir Arthur. It then went to Sir Edward, your grandfather. That was when the Ashford family enjoyed it's golden age. It was also Sir Edward's achievement that established the large chemical enterprise, Umbrella Inc.
However, when Sir Edward passed away, and your father Sir Alexander succeeded the position, the glorious Ashford family gradually began to sink... I sincerely hope that the Ashford family regains it's glory with your guidence, just as this vase continues to shine eternally.
