The Monarchy Restored (CAS Only)

[Dual Nations]

Next in the entourage came a motorcade flying the flags of the Dual Nations - Poland and Hungary, and of the Amerikaner Reich. In front and back of drove black armored SUVs, completely indistinguishable from any other black car on the road, save for the near title flags that adorned it's front. Just looking at the outside casted out impressions of pride and regality, but the inside of the vehicles were a complete other story.

"Brani, where did you put your shoes this time?" bellowed the barrel-like King Krzysztof II Poniatowski, already annoyed at the fact he had had to listen to "The Wheels on the Bus" for he fourth time now.

The wheels on the bus go-

"I don't know" his son, Prince Branislav, replied sheepishly. He was the youngest of the children at only six years old, but was the most like his father - brash, argumentative, prideful, and most of all chubby.

-round and round, round and-

"Oh well then get off your damn tablet and help me find them! There is no way you're going inside barefoot!" shouted his father, now annoyed by the fact that this was the fifth time this trip Brani's shoes had suddenly gone missing.

-round, round and round.

"Oh well calm down now, will you? I won't have you swearing in front of our children." said Queen Marina, talking quietly but sternly to her husband

The wheels on the bus-

"Honey we're almost there, I can't have a son with no shoes at the crowning of the new monarch of Amerika!" retorted the King "And shut off that blasted music, will you Ferenc?"

-go round and round-

"Yes your highness" said the chauffer as he shut off the CD player.

The Royal Guardsman, up until having seemed completely distracted gave a sigh of relief. "Thank God..." he said and went back to his job of scanning the crowds surrounding the motorcade, all waving the flag of the Amerikaner Reich.

"Here's Brani's shoes, Father" said Gerek, the eldest son of the family at fourteen years old, starting to hand his father his brother's miniature loafers.

Justek intercepted the shoes and started to place them on young Branislav's feet "I can put his shoes on him for you, Papa" he said, eager like most nine-year-olds to prove that he could do things.

"Oh well thank you son," replied the King in his usual bellowing voice. He laid back in his seat and looked accross the inside of the "Royal Carriage" until his eyes fell upon his eldest child at seventeen and only daughter, Nadzia, leaning her head against the glass of their tinted window, and staring outside - not seeming to be focusing on anything in particular. "Oh Nadzia, you seem to have been very quiet so far. Are you okay?"

At hearing her name she immediately perked up and turned to her father "Oh yes I'm fine Father, I guess I'm just tired from the trip is all..." replied Nadzia, before resting her head back on the window of the car, frowning and staring into space. The truth was, she was tired of traveling in general. She appreciated her father and mother's attempts to raise their family like any other, away from nannies and servants, but the constant travel mandated by her father's position meant she hadn't able to go to school or make friends like any other teenager - she hadn't even been able to find a boyfriend! There were constant suiters of course, like any regal bachelorette would expect, but each one seemed more interested in the prospect of becomming King of the Poles and Hungarians than in her, and so each one had been turned away.

As the car pulled up to the Cathedral, Nadzia straightened up and checked her makeup in her compact one last time, hoping that she hadn't smudged anything with the window. When she was finally satisfied with her appearance, she turned to door and it was opened by a waiting servant. She disembarked from the limo, before regrouping with her family on the far side of the vehicle. As they all made their way inside, Nadzia fell back into thought "well my favorite part of dad's job has always been the parties, I should just try to enjoy myself instead of wishing for what I don't have. Today will probably be like any other function, but who knows? Today might surprise me" and she snapped back to reality, but now with a smile on her face.

Just as the last of the guests were filing into the St. Johannes Cathadral, the Carpathian Delegation arrived. Colonel Subermann, being told the last of the international guests had arrived, was about to light a cigarette and relax, as now was his off time. However, seeing the Carpathian King's arrival, he quickly pulls the cigarette out of his mouth, jams the lighter back into his pocket, and made his way down to the vehicles. Greeting the Carpathian King, he says: "Gueten Tager, your highness." through his thick Amerikaner accent. "We are honored to have you here today. May I show you inside?"

The King took a plump pinkie and cleaned his ear "I'm sorry, but what was it you said?" said he.

At this sight his wife looked completely revolted, but only a second later went about doing damage control for her husband "You'll have to excuse him he's quite hard of hearing, we'd love for you to show us to our seats" she said with small hint of a smile.

"Ja, ja, Das gueten." The colonel says with a warm smile. "Come in, ja?" He leads the Carpathian Entourage into the Cathedral of St. Johannes, showing them down the vast main hall of the cathedral. Already filling fast with international journalists and multiple heads of state, primarily fellow monarchs, the Colonel had to fight his way through the crowd to get to the reserved seating for the Carpathian Delegation. Ushering them to sit, he says: "Das gueten. Now if you would excuse me, I am needed at the main entrance." He salutes the Carpathian King, and proceeds to exit the cathedral. Once outside, he goes back to his original spot, and resumes his activity, lighting a cigarette and checking his text messages. "Ze Carpathian delegation is the last one expected, I believe." He says. "And they too shall witness the birth of the Reich."

St. Johannes Cathedral, Wiesbaden am Breigsau

The soon to be Kaiser, Michaëlle Hrothgar I von Wittelsbach, stands outside the entrance to the great hall of the Cathdral with a dozen of the Lifeguard of Foot. The uniform of the Kaiser, colored a deep blue, is fixed with an Iron Cross and several other medals, which gleam in the light. He is about to change history, but his mind remains calm, collected, and prepared for his rule. Within a moment, a Lifeguard slips into the room, and whispers "We are ready to begin." The Kaiser acknowledges the Lifeguard, and he disappears back to his post. The Kaiser swallows his fear, and the doors open. The ceremony begins.

The doors open, and the Colonel of the Lifeguard, Colonel Klaude Wyckmann's voice fills through the hall: "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the soon to be Kaiser, Michaëlle Hrothgar von Wittilsbach." The Kaiser, flanked by a pair of Lifeguards, enters the main hall. All eyes are on him, and as he begins to proceed down the aisle, the Lifeguard Band begins to play the Imperial Anthem.

Both national and international news cameras capture the moment, with the future Kaiser marching down the aisle, with heads of state from all across the globe present, watching this moment in Amerikaner history. At this very moment, the Cathedral of St. Johannes was the center of the universe.

The Kaiser is lead down the aisle, flanked by two Lifeguards, who's bayoneted rifles gleam in the brilliantly lit Cathedral. He reaches the podium, which he stands by Johannes von Eyck, the highest member of the Amerikaner Clergy, along with a translator, as the whole of the ceremony would be done in Amerikanisch, the official language of the Reich. The Priest's voice rings throughout the hall:

"Montierenektë zu bezeugen und ein vommer in ziet das wird das Amerikaner Reich fur immer verändern."
[English: We are assembled here today to witness a moment in time that will forever change the Amerikaner Reich.]

"An diesem tag, durch die kraft invesitiert und Ich durch Gott,"
[English: By the power invested in me by God,]

"Ich hiermit krönen du, Michaëlle Hrothgar von Wittlesbach, Michaëlle Hrothgar I, Konig von das Amerikanen!"
[English: I hereby crown you, Michaëlle Hrothgar von Wittlesbach, Michaëlle Hrothgar I, King of the Amerikanen!]

With this, the Kaiser takes the crown, a beautiful piece of gold embedded with jewels, and rests it atop his head. The Priest hands him a ceremonial sword and a crucifix. The Priest speaks again:

"Mix dieser klingè, sie erhoben worden durch Gott zu schutzën sie ihre volken, und dieses kruzifix soll daran du sie die auf deine feinde, barmherzig zu sein."
[English: With this blade, you have been charged by God to protect your people, yet this crucifix shall remind you to be just, and have mercy on your foes.]

The Kaiser accepts the cruficix in one hand, and the saber in the other. The cool metal presses against his palms, and the light from the cathedral's windows beam down, brilliantly illuminating the hall, and perfectly illustrating the expression of awe on the international delegation.

The priest and the Kaiser turn around and face the audience of onlookers. The priest speaks one last time:

"Ich presientölen zu dau, Michaëlle Hrothgrar I, Konig von das Amerikanen!"
[English: I present to you, Michaëlle Hrothgrar I, King of the Amerikanen!]

The room bursts into a standing ovation, people rising to their feet, and Amerikaner officials and Lifeguards alike bow to the new Kaiser. After around twenty seconds, the Lifeguard stands and salutes the now Kaiser. The Lifeguard, now bodyguards of the new Kaiser, now shout a command to all:

"Alles heil das Kaiser, Konig von das Amerikanen!"
[English: All hail the Kaiser, King of the Amerikanen!]

At this moment, the all in the room stand, applauding the newly crowned Kaiser. The Amerikaner officials begin to chant "Heil, heil!" Tens of thousands of people flood the streets all over the nation, church bells ring, and all kinds of celebrations begin. After nearly a century and half, the King has finally returned.

Tens of thousands of people flood the streets all over the nation, church bells ring, and all kinds of celebrations begin. After nearly a century and half, the King has finally returned.

As the applause finally faded, King Krzysztof II looked from side to side, before finally spotting a seemingly unoccupied usher. He walked up to them and said in his usual booming voice "Right so this was fantastic and very impressive, but when do we eat? I thought there was something in the invitation about hambugs… is that how you people say it? I can barely understand your accent."

I thought there was something in the invitation about hambugs… is that how you people say it? I can barely understand your accent."

As the newly crowned Kaiser is escorted down the aisles, a Lifeguard ushers the Carpathian King aside. The Lifeguard, with a blank expression, states:

"A banquet will be held tonight for the international heads of state at the Kaiserpalast, the Imperial Palace outside of Wiesbaden am Breigsau. And for the record, what you did just now is considered quite rude by my fellow countrymen, and I'm sure by many others present today." The Lifegaurd states. "Your vehicles are waiting outside, all the attending heads of state, including yourself and your family, will be driven down to the Kaiserpalast shortly for the banquet."

As the Lifeguard speaks with the Carpathian King, the Amerikaner Kaiser walks out onto the steps of the St. Johannes Cathedral, where he is greeted by hordes of spectators, cheering the new Kaiser. The Police have managed to keep a portion of the stairway clear, and the Kaiser descends the steps, towards a topless convertible with a battalion of the Lifeguard of Horse waiting. As he climbs in, the Kaiser smiles and waves to the news cameras and people, as he is driven down Grand Straße, the largest street in Wiesbaden am Breigsau, the now Imperial Capital.
