The corridor of the honourable ancestors.
A reflection of countless aspirations, dreams, and voices. Its surrounding stone walls, anciently filled with the irreplacable and priceless passage of history itself, astride of the innumerable cracks identifying the past presence of destiny and story of a thousand generations, whispered upon one's sanity of the never-ending passage of civilisation and mankind.
A corridor of sanctity and soul.
The spot whereby the name Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy was painted upon the very chapter of history itself, proudly embellished upon the year 1987. Never forgotten and put aside, up to the present day. For it was here that the history of the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy was made, and the unification of a divided brothers and sisters forever consolidated.
She walked slowly whilst ignoring the commotion around her.
Ceara Bickerton had always fancy it this way. She looked at the bright and blue sky above, rasing her head slowly at the peaceful assymetry and metaphor of heaven's presence itself. The soothing and morning breeze could be felt upon her face, and she was enlightened yet more by the wonderful feeling itself.
She walked slowly towards the left stonewall. A broken yet identifiable painting of the historical flaming vanguard of phoenix itself, flying and proudly extending its majestic wings upon the resemblance of countless commoners. Courage and tenacity could be felt upon as one looked upon the legendary creature of fantasy and numerous tales.
"Courage...", the First Minister of the Imperial and Royal Authority, the highest executive authority within the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy, whispered to herself.
She looked straight at the creature's glaring eyes. "Surely i will need it..", and she sighed. Her nervousness hidden within her unshakeable wall of stone, built by her alongside the rite of passage itself, and marked permanently with numerous past experiences.
Ceara Bickerton was unlike any other previous First Minister of the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy. Pragmatic and strong-willed, she was deemed publicly within the Dual Monarchy as one of the most popular executive head of government within all its constituent states' history. Born in 02 July 1970 within the atmosphere of a working class family, Bickerton's pragmatic approach towards life, and consequently the realm of politics, was consolidated by the time she reached the age of seventeen.
Her father was the strong figure within the household, as her mother was a dedicated housewife, forever held accountable for her, and all her two siblings' positive achievements in life. She was nurtured the way that she was meant to be; as the oldest daughter within a working class household, Bickerton's mother guided her through the wonderful maze of life itself.
The importance of education, aspiration within one's life, and of course, she thought amusingly even now, the intriguing case of love and males.
She smiled to herself, even now the vision of these wonderful moments within her life still not ceased to amaze her. The alternative vision of whether she would have become a physiatrist or perhaps, a loving housewife within a prosperous household as she once wanted to be, was neither here nor there, she thought to herself. What was of importance would be the fact that without her parents' benevolent and loving guidance, Bickerton would not made it as far as she could ever be as of now.
She looked up at the sky again. Her dark blue eyes could not hide the accumulation of small tears, gaining momentum slowly as she was reminded of her loving father and mother, and her moment of childhood. She had felt this sense of lost for quite some time, ever since her mother passed away six years ago, and finally and most devastatingly to her, the passing of her father a year after that.
And finally, the wave of tears engulfed upon her, nonetheless her effort to block her sadness could not even hold the realisation that her loving father would not be there to guide her way through the maze of life itself.
She raised her right hand to wipe her tears, whilst her left hand was holding an embroided piece of paper. It was not just another normal letter. It was an official letter, symbolised as a "declaration act". Within the Anago-Yohannesian empire, ever since its unification as a single national and political entity in 1987, the "declaration of act" had always been one of the highest order within the hierarchy of numerous other "official acts".
The word declaration within the act part itself was put forward as a way to emphasize the fact that any act associated with that word would be directed at not the domestic realm of the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy itself, but the international realm of innumerable and countless nations. An act directed towards the international community.
It was not since the unification of the Dual Monarchy in 1987 that a declaration act was made.
Indeed, Bickerton thought amusingly, her wave of tears was finally receding at last, the first and only official declaration act was constitutionally and officially made and announced only in 2 December 1987 , when the Kingdom of Yohannes and the Confederate States of Anagonia decided to unite under one national banner, as the imperial and royal sovereignty of the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes, and unofficially and popularly known by its close associated nations and unofficial allies as the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy, or the Dual Monarchy.
But then again, even she agreed within her heart that this second declaration act was made to finally emphasize upon the position of the empire in regard to its foreign affairs and relations towards the international community of varying national sovereignties.
She sat upon one of the mahogany-coloured wooden seat located just on her left side, whilst slowly reading the letter issued to her by the Imperial Diet, the supreme entity of legislative assembly within the land of the rising sun.
She knew that the recent establishment of cultural, economic, and military alliance made between the Lamonian Free Republic, stratocratic Lyran Protectorate, and the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy, was one of the major reason behind the establishment of this recent declaration act.
The said letter was issued to her two days ago, and as according to the laws written upon the #117 Ministerial Act, Bickerton was under the law, restricted from reading upon the said letter, and consequently, act in accordance to her possible reaction towards the legislated decision, until at least the second of the day the initial and completed letter was sent constitutionally towards her working desk.
If her mind had not betrayed her, exactly more or less around this moment that the declaration act would finally be announced publicly and officially towards the international community, and its associated national sovereignties and represented entities.
Knowing amusingly that the restriction was finally gone, she opened the folded letter, and slowly read upon the written piece of legislation.
It read.
