King of Kelon, Agilial and Erira, Shield of Kelowna and Protector of the Realm.
Daniel McCoy International, Kelowna
The King of Kelonna was wearing the dress blues of the Royal Kelonnan Air Force, because that was his branch of service before he ascended to the throne. He had been a Flight Captain, and commanded a section of four aircraft from the carrier HMS Courageous (NSC-03). This was until his father and elder brother died in a plane crash, and he was the next in line to inherit the throne. Though he had been hesitant to step up, he turned out to be a good King for the people.
And what a good King needs most of all is to carry on his line, and for that, he needed a wife. He received many offers, but ultimately he was reminded by advisers about arrangements that his father had made before he died. Rickard was to marry Princess Sarah, of Aquitayne.
Rickard was aware that arranged marriages were necessary for the politics and progression of Royals, but he did not quite like the fact that he did not have a say in it, which was pretty much the essence of Arranged Marriage. Nonetheless, he would do his duty, and would make the best of his fate.
In preparation of the event, the First "Coldsteam Guards" Infantry Division had been shipped over from Grissom Island. They would, together with the First "Royal Dragoons" Armoured Division, line the route from the airport to the Weirwood, and from there to the Royal Palace. Many were given the day off to witness the event, but alas, several had to keep on working. The nation must function on some level.
The City itself was decorated like never before. The Capital had transformed into a mix of the amber, scarlet and blue of The House of Stark, and the white and blue of the Aquitaynian Royal Family. The King almost didn't recognize the City when he drove down to the airport in the morning. The cheering and chanting was heard even over the noise of the airport... After all, life must go on.
Sent to all the leaders of the Astyrian nations is this handwritten letter:
