Declaration of Protection

Augustus Leo Apolo’s Declaration of Protection to the King of Hawaiʻi

Throughout history, people have made vows of loyalty and promises to defend what they believe in. One such vow has recently been declared by Augustus Leo Apolo, known as the General of the Last Legion of Byzantium. His words now reach across the sea to offer allegiance and protection to His Majesty Beatitude Archking Silva II, King of Hawaiʻi.

In his declaration, Apolo—also called Sir Junustia of the House of Brecen—makes it clear that his loyalty to the Hawaiian Crown is unshakable. He compares his words to stone, unchanging and permanent. He promises that no amount of tyranny or global pressure will turn him away from his mission. For him, this is about more than politics. It is about faith, honor, and the sacred duty to defend a people and their king.

This pledge is not just symbolic. Apolo states that he and his legion will “stand guard and defend the lands” whenever they are called by royal command. His words have the weight of a soldier’s oath: strong, serious, and rooted in his faith in God and Jesus Christ. Drawing from the history of Byzantium, he ties together the strength of belief with the strength of arms, showing that both are necessary for true protection.

For Hawaiʻi, his declaration is a reminder that sovereignty is not only defended with weapons, but also with conviction, courage, and unity. It shows that allies beyond the islands recognize the value of standing by the Hawaiian Crown.

In closing, Apolo affirms his vow with the words, “So help me God and Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen.”

This is more than a statement—it is a promise of protection. It reminds us that loyalty and faith still matter, and that Hawaiʻi’s crown remains a symbol worth defending.
