Royal Wedding in Gande (IC/TG to Enter)

by **Kingdom of Derita** » Thu May 14, 2015 7:08 pm

Princess Marie Karoline was ecstatic. She would very soon be marrying the love of her life, Duke Alex Uchiha. After he had proposed to her in the Imperial Ruxelles Palace, she had chosen to have the wedding, which was to be a massive party of historic size, in the ceremonial chapel in the palace. Her younger sister, Princess Auguste Sophie had been chosen by their mother and the bride to be to plan out everything. She spared no expense. The guests list was enormous as she invited all the Royal families of Europe, from the Prussians, to the Spanish, even the Irish and the Russlandains. Other world leaders were also invited like the Prince Primate of Rhine States and the Prime Minister of the COA. The Ruxelles Palace was completely re decorated to please Karoline, sculptures, paintings, flowers trees were all taken out, redone or brought in for the wedding. Karoline wanted her wedding to be like her late grandmother's wedding, some 83 years ago, large,lavish, beautiful and famous.

Relatives can from across the Empireand the world. Her older brother, Napoléon VII came home from Kenya, where had been studying rare African Animals. Reschnov II had traveled down to Espana and then back to Gande to marry his girlfriend, Princess Maria Antonia. King Allan I of Serbia, Karoline's uncle came with his five children. Even Emperor Christopher II and his wife planned to come, though with both of them running empires it was more difficult for them to enjoy things like weddings.

Crown Princess Aura II, Karoline's mother and former Queen of Serbia, was against spending so much money on the wedding, but her cousin, King Étienne bailed Karoline out and agreed to pay for the event. Aura Stated that he would come to retreat that.

The Ruxelles Palace was located right next to the River Gande de Nord, the northern branch of the Gande Maj River. It was extremely large, started when Karoline's mother was first born and not completely finished until Karoline herself was 20, a spanned time of 40 plus years to build it. Despite being a branch of the Serbian Royal Family, Aura II joked that they were more Hollandeers than they were Serbian, as near none of them lived or even visited Serbia, due to its location in the Balkans and history of being violent still lingered, even after 65 years.

Princess Auguste Sophie had wonderful ways for guests to arrive, some would be flown in via helipcopter, others arriving on party yachts along the River, then lead ashore, King Étienne asked to land in a hot air balloon since he was paying for the lot. Horse drawn carriages were another choice as Auguste Sophie wanted to make the wedding as Royal and magical as possible, she was a bridesmaid as well as the wedding planner and was to meet the guests and have the servants, dressed up in traditional Hollande regalia, lead them into the chapel. She wore a long southern belle type ball gown that was a pretty pink and black.

Alex Uchiha was very excited for his wedding...He was also pleased to know that most of Timeria approved it; except for a few old hags. For the first there would be a royal wedding between a Timerian & a Deritan. This would be a historic event and hopefully one for the better.

The wedding would be held at The Ruxelles Palace, a beautiful estate that would be polished perfectly for the wedding Marie's younger sister, Princess Auguste Sophie would plan the wedding, knowing her he knew she would go all out & buy all of the lavish things one would want. Duke Alex only had one request, that she imported 2 Kirins from North Timeria's Forever region. They were widely considered to be the most beautiful & these weren't as aggressive as those in the west. It was a tradition and it could be something that a lot of Deritan haven't had the chance to experience.

The royal family would be flying in from North Timeria, all on the same jet. This was dangerous but they would be escorted by North Timeria's finest pilots. Even King Uchiha, who had surprised Alex when he publicly announced his support for the marriage. The last time Alex checked King Uchiha was mostly hated in Derita, considering their troubled history. Hopefully him coming would change a few peoples opinion and ease tensions.

Many speculated that this was just a hoax to better relationships between the 2 nations. They were all wrong, Alex loved Marie & their wedding had nothing to do with politics. Of course this would bring the 2 nations to better terms but these marriage was made out of love.

The Ruxelles Palace had never before been so busy. The massive palace complex was right next to the wide and shallow River Gande du Nord and the gardens that covered the estate were being prepared down to finest blade of grass. Crown Princess Aura had been right, King Étienne did regret paying for the wedding.

Princess Auguste Sophie had spared no expense, in fact, Étienne was positive that she went out of her way to spend money. Princess Auguste Sophie had hired 300 garden caretakers, 40 landscape architects, 430 constructors, 12 River boat captions, 30 scuba divers, 200 cleaners, 70 carpenters and 50 masons. And that was just for the outside.

She had completely remodeled the du Nord bank gardens, near the chapel were the wedding ceremony would be taken place. Trees, orchids, flowers of pink, white and red had been brought in, grass imported from the finest fields in Tuscana had been brought in to replace the native lime green Hollande grass. Lavender were planted in beautiful shapes of hearts, the word LOVE and the rare smiley face. A stone path went down from the palace into the garden were it cut the garden into fours and then went down to the River. King Étienne was furious about what Auguste Sophie did to the river. He complained to her eldest sister, Christina II.

"I can not believe her. Your mother was right you know, she was right. Leave it to Sophie to lose billions in a River."

"Uncle Étienne, please, it can't be that bad-"

"That bad? That bad! Your sister spent 2.3 billion Dérrals on water! On water, Christina, on water. Imported water from the water falls of South America she says. Millions of gallons of water, shipped from Peru!"

Princess Christina shrugged at that.

"No one will be thirsty."

"No, no,no. You don't understand. She spent 2.3 billion dollars on water from Peru, and you know what she does with it? She dumps, she dumps it all into the River! 2.3 billion Dérrals of water straight into the Gande du Nord. To raise the water level she says! So when people arrive by boat, they would have the discomfort of walking so far."

"Oh."

Yes it was very interesting time going on in the Ruxelles Palace, inside Princess Auguste had spent twice as much as she did outside, flowers, petals, ribbons, lights, cameras, guards, waiters, aids, ushers, photographers, paparazzi, bakers, cakes, dishes, cooks, wine, champagne, tables, chairs, rugs, paintings, performers, horses, birds, doves, drivers, sound systems, sparkles, lace, fans, indoor plants, trees, clothes, jewels, decorations, decor, furniture, table clothes, fruits, sculptures, ice, stone etc..... All the finest of everything. As the beginning of the ceremony rapidly got closer,people ran about the palace to make sure everything was completely perfect. Countess Charlene and Archduchess Anna Charlotte had disappeared to help the beautiful bride get ready up in her chambers. Downstairs the rest of Marie Karoline's siblings were already ready or arriving, eager to meet the man who Marie loved and had kept hidden from them for several years.

In the city there was almost as much of a buzz as at the palace itself as people wanted to see the arriving people. Princess Auguste Sophie had spent a billion Dérrals on safety to make sure nothing bad happen. Drivers of town cars, limos and even horse carriages zipped into the airport. This was very interesting to common people as almost everyone in Derita walked to were they needed to go or went by moped, motorcycle or train or trolly and if your were wealthy enough to relax most of the time, by horse carriages. Cars were usually seen as a nice then, but too damaging to the environment to have a lot of.

Boats crowed the large and wide River Gande du Nord in the heart of the city and the shallower Gand du Sud farther north east. They were party boats, your boats and show boats, River cruise ships and supply ships.

At the Rux Airport the place had moved flights else were to allow other planes and delegates to fly directly into the city. A number of Deritain nobles had already arrived, though everyone knew the big show would be the top people, like the Timerian Royal Family, the Serbian Royal Family, etc. Despite what many people may think, Deritains were not completely interested in the affairs of foreign nations and were not known to hold grudges, while it was no secret that Derita and Timeria had not gotten along before, that had faded like a old fashion in the publics mind as they focused on different things. But it also gave excitement to the event,

It was 2:00 when the first guests were to arrive, and of the first was Empress Saint Alanna, Empress of Polonge and Saint of Life and Family. The King-Emperor's sister arrived at the Rux Airport and travelled happily to the Ruxelles Palace via boat, guarded unknown by her, by beautiful yellow motor boats that appeared to be for show, but in truth were not. She walked ashore and up into the gardens happily, carrying around her a aura of peace and tranquility. She was famous for her calm and polite attitude and large heart and love of family that had made her the de facto head of the Volonté Dynasty on a private level and had also made her a Saint, not that she thought much of it, in her humble ways. She wore a beautiful but simple cross between a empire style and Hollande Belle style dress in light blue and white colors with a gorgeous gold shawl with black lining with tiny golden words in French in the lining, covering most of her coffee black hair with gray strains expect for a lock or two.

The Empress Saint was greeted by Princess Auguste Sophie who was happy to see her "Aunt" Alanna. However she was unable to chat as she had to deal with other things as well and so Saint Alanna was left to wait in the gardens, waiting for other guests to arrive. Servants and guards in ceremonial 1800's style cloths and uniforms lined the walls in silence while the servants of their finger foods like vanilla filled eldairs and sparkling water. The sky over head was a brilliant blue, not a single cloud in the sky expect for those created by airplanes, crisscrossing the sky like a an X. It was still very hot, the heat wave that had settled in for the last two heats was still there at a blazing 93 degrees Fahrenheit, though the windows of the palace on the second and third floors were open, letting air circulate as the silk currents flowed like flowers in the wind.

Auguste Sophie had spent several million dollars on special cooling systems in the gardens that where hidden in the rose bushes that have a gentle breeze cooling the gardens and the house then out being too hot or too cold.

As the preparations for the wedding were being finished up, two large planes, escorted by four F-55 fighter jets, landed at Rux Airport at exactly 1:30. Ignoring all forms of Air-Traffic Control, the two sleek private jets sped down onto the runway, coming silently to a stop. In the back, cargo doors opened, and three black Lamborghinis, Conner Originals, came out of a bay that seemed too small to hold them. Ignoring once again the planes speeding down the runway, the procession of hypercars flew off the runway and onto the streets of Derita, while the two private jets wheeled off to a hanger.

After a half an hour drive, two Lamborghinis pulled up to the Ruxelles Palace. As two men in suits stepped out of each, radio signals went flying. "Clear. 2-7, check. Overlord is rolling. Bravo is in the lead. All clear. Proceed." Out of the distance, a pair of black Connerian VTOLs zoomed towards the palace. Quickly, and in full view of all the Deritians, they pulled back as they reached the lawn, making no noise as they came to a horizontal stop. Slowly, they set down upon the precisely manicured lawn. The doors opened, and out of each VTOL came two men in black body armor, each wielding an M6A4 assault rifle. More radio signals flew, and then stepped out some of the most important men in the world. Out first came Secretary of Defense John McTavish, also known as Nick Fury. His signature eyepatch, pistol, and steely stare were all present. Next, out came the new Vice President, Robert Allen. He smoothed down his suit as he ducked his head instinctively, despite being nowhere near the repulsers. Finally, out stepped President Conner Boehm, taking a drink of water and smoothing down his hair before walking onto the grass. Four more armed SWAT men followed them, along with six more men in suits. The legion of Connerian strolled together for a while, their steps in perfect time, before the Operators split up, leaving the Agents and leaders to enter the palace. Seeing Saint Alaza of Derita, Conner smiled as he walked forward and extended his hand. "Ah, Miss Alaza. I don't believe we've met. Conner Boehm, President of the United States of Conner."
Conner could see other Deritian nobles and such around the park, watching him, but he was indifferent. It was kind of funny, actually.

by **Kingdom of Derita** » Sat May 16, 2015 6:53 pm

Empress Saint Alanna sipped a China cup of sparkling water as the Connerains arrival finished. Her voice was slightly amused as she spoke.

"Why, Mr. Boehm, your as flamboyant as a Deritain. My father would be proud."

The Empress Saint spoke of her father, Emperor Almahn the Conqueror, whom Conner had never meet but had probably heard of. He had conquered much of Asia, Africa and Europe and had been a flamboyant and elaborate man, famous for his grand entrances and imposing aura. Alanna always thought kindly of her father despite his tendency for violence, something that had convinced her brother to be as peaceful as possible. But she heard the President and a sharp pain of memory of her dear Aunt Alaza came to mind. Caught off guard she dropped her cup which shattered into thousands of pieces.

"I think you spoke wrong. Please, call me Alanna, I do not care for titles such as miss and ma'am."

The Empress of Polonge then promptly got on her knees and began picking up her ruined cup. It was a pity, it had cost several million dollars. Nobles around them gasped in shock at the act, a member of the Imperial Family on their hands and knees cleaning up in front of guests. It was strange.

Meanwhile Princess Auguste Sophie zoomed back outside at the notice of another guest arriving, though she had never heard of a President Boehm.

by **Polonge** » Sat May 16, 2015 7:17 pm

Emperor Francis II and his two children, Princess Joséphine and Prince William V, Archduke of Maricia arrived on a river barge shortly after his wife, Empress Saint Alanna.

Emperor Francis II was dressed in a gold and white uniform with the Imperial Eagle stamped into the chest of his uniform. He was shocked by the blazing heat over head, it rarely ever got so hot in Polonge, he was happy that his uniform was made of soft cotton as not to have him become roasted alive. His brown hair reached just above his shoulders and gave him a young sort of look though he was clearly middle aged.

Princess Joséphine had gone native and found a Hollande Belle dress to wear, and while she dislike the fact it was so complex and complicated she had to admit it was very pretty. She topped it off with a matching flowery sun hat, let her long brown-blonde hair reach past her shoulders. She looked much more like her father than her mother, which she found very annoying as she thought her mother beautiful. She had fairer skin and lighter hair than her mother's coffee and sun kissed skin and black hair. She even had dark blue eyes that she tried in vain to convince everyone were brown.

Prince William V was the opposite of Joséphine, at 16, he was six years younger than his sister and Empress to be. He sported curly black hair and caramel colored skin and big brown eyes lined with eyelashes girls would kill for but he couldn't care less about. He wore a uniform much like his father's though simpler and more comfortable. The only flaw was a small zit on his right cheek that was barely noticeable.

The trio walked off the barge and up to the garden.

A rather battered cruiser sailed up the river Gande Du Nord and the representative of Mountain Sea disembarked. Like all his people Ambassador Kurosawa was short & muscular his dark hair cut shorter than his people usually wore it. In respect of the ocasion he wore a dark blue three piece suit, and shoes. His tie held the symbol of his clan, a black Raven.
With the appointing of the new High King it had been decided that Mountain Sea would break its self imposed isolation and enter into the wider world and so the Ambassadorial programme was created and Kurosawa was the first appointee.
He looked around the assembled guests and waved for the two guards with him to bring the wedding gifts forward, as he desperately tried to spot either the bride or the groom...

Kaiser Edward IV arrived at the Ruxelles Palace via horse draw carriage. It was surprisingly very comfortable to the Kaiser, who was used to luxurious cars and high speed planes, not the old fashion ways of traveling. The carriage was painted white and gold, the four graceful and pure white horses had their manes and tails dyed a beautiful and shining gold and wore gold color collars and reins.

The Kaiser stepped of the carriage with his wife, the beautiful Queen Christina and his only son and heir, Prince Taylor III, who wore a black suit, black boots and a red waist slash on his lean but muscular frame. Kaiser Edward IV wore a formal black suit with the collar going all the way up to his throat, war medals and honors hung on the front of his uniform and a short formal shoulder cap rested on his shoulders. Unlike his son, who looked dark in his black outfit, Edward appeared large and bright.

The Prussian Royal Family made their way gracefully into the gardens were the rest of the guests were waiting.

by **Great Hyruke** » Sun May 17, 2015 9:36 am

King George I of Great Hyruke arrived with his sister, Queen Anne-Maria of Greece and his new wife, Queen Caroline of Great Hyruke and Ireland at the Ruxelles Palace in Gande, Queen Caroline's brother, Prince Philip III was also with them.

Queen Caroline and King George I

The group stepped out of the horse draw carriage and entered the palace, admiring the decorations of it. King George and Queen Caroline walked with their arms locked together, while happy, not in love at the least. The marriage been Caroline and her regent, Mary III's idea to reconnect the Hanoverian Dynasty. See, Caroline was by birth the Queen of Isles of Ireland after her mother, Queen Jenna II died a month ago. King George was King of Genoa through his father, the late King Alfried and was King of Great Hyruke and Hanover through his mother, the great-great granddaughter of Queen Anne, making George her great great great grandson. But Caroline was her great great granddaughter, making her and George third cousins once removed.

But through a technicality they were not related as Queen Caroline's grand mother, Queen a Maria had not been Queen Anne's actual granddaughter, not by blood, but by adoption. Therefore they were third cousins, but by relation, not by blood.

But even then the marriage had no love in it, it was purely political reasons for it. Caroline's mother, the late Queen Jenna II, George's second cousin twice removed, had been forced to abdicate the throne of Great Hyruke to her cousin, the Emperor of Derita who pasted it down to his son, King-Emperor Christopher II, Caroline's other third cousin through her grandfather, Prince Waxwilliam had appointed George I, one the last surviving of the true Hanoverian Dynasty as a sort of sub King. Knowing the King-Emperor would never allow Jenna II nor her children to become Kings or Queens of Great Hyruke as they should have, Caroline saw the only way to regain her mother's lost crown was through marrying King George I.

But they were not truly married, for they were not technically married, she was not his wife, nor he her husband, they saw each other as cousins and both from their respective country saw it that way too. The were co-rulers of Great Hyruke,(Under King-Emperor Christopher II of course) and it separated from there as Queen Caroline was Queen of Ireland alone, George was not even recognized as married to her, and he was King of Hanover and Genoa alone.

Queen Anne-Maria of Greece

They entered the gardens quietly, hoping to have a good time, but very quiet, only Prince Philip III, a mere teenager of 15 years, smiled with true happiness. Queen Caroline watched in silence, her emotions un readable, very impressive for a 17 year old girl. King George looked around with interest but he two had a face of pure calm void of emotion, the 27 year old King wore a formal uniform of navy blue, white and gold, though he lacked the powder wigs used in Londres for formal events. Instead he showed off his brown hair and light mustache. His younger sister, the newly crowned Queen Anne-Maria of Greece was ready to meet delegates, the 26 year old was interested in other people after being detached from the rest of Imperial Europe for so long, both her and her family, before her brother had been King, the last Royal in her direct line had been Duke James I of Cambridge, her great-grandfather.

Prince Philip III

They waited around for someone to talk to.

Ambassador Kurosawa watched the guests arrive and was directed by a footman towards the garden. In respect of the occasion his guards had left all weapons on the cruiser and after giving the gifts over to the footman he ordered them to socialise.
Looking around the grounds he was overwhelmed by the formal uniforms and made a mental note to have one made upon his return.

He saw amazing dresses fashions that he had never imagined and was really struck by a blond woman in a large White & Black dress with the largest hat he had as yet seen (this being Princess Josephine, though of course he doesn't know this yet).
He walks over and bows "It is my honour to be here, I am Ambassador Kurosawa of Mountain sea, and to whom do I have the pleasure of meeting?"

As the Imperial Family were in the gardens, Princess Joséphine saw a man, who she did not know was Ambassador Kurosawa, coming towards her and after he bowed he gave him a polite curtsy. Despite Josephine's some what liberal ways, she still believe in the monarchy that she was apart of.
"It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Princess Joséphine of Polonge. This is my father, His Majesty, Emperor Francis and my brother, Prince William. It is nice to meet you Ambassador Kurosawa. Are you one of my cousin's friends, or a political guest?"

by **Mountain Sea** » Sun May 17, 2015 1:49 pm

Ambassador Kurosawa bows to both the emperor & Prince William.
"Gentlemen it is my honour to meet you, and in the name of the High King I extend greetings from my land".

He turns back to Princess Josephine.
" As to your question, I would be a political guest. Our recently crowned High King has opened our borders I am the first ambassador to pass training. I am also honoured to be able to speak in all matters for the High King.
A question if I may. I have several mistresses and I would gift them upon my return with a new dress or two, where could I purchase a dress such as yours for them?"

Emperor Francis II nodded and Prince William V bowed. Princess Joséphine looked at the Ambassador with her deep blue eyes. She was a little shocked at his use of the word mistresses, though she said nothing, thinking that perhaps it meant something different in Kurosawa's country than Polonge.
"Well my mother bought this dress for me, though I am sure you could find it in a store, though it must warn you, everything good in Derita is expensive, it will cost a few thousand NSDollars. I can ask my mother where she got it from. Follow me."

Princess Joséphine gestured for him to follow her to her mother, Empress Saint Alanna to see were he could buy a dress for his mistresses. Emperor Francis II and his son both followed.

Ambassador Kurosawa nods.
"Thank-You for this kindness, though cost is irrelevant my tribe the Ravens are the second richest in my land. though I would ask do all your women dress so..." he waves his hands seeking the right words " so extravagently or merely for such ocassions?
You will I trust excuse any inadvertent rudeness I may cause our cultures are significantly different.
An example is this wedding. In my land we are tribal and are usually at a state of conflict with each other, we would only be able to attend a wedding with so many different tribal or should I say national leaders if the High King himself were there, he is the only person we all defer to. His word is literally law"

Gaining a little more confidence he waves to a drink carrying waiter who comes over with a tray holding glasses of champagne. He takes two glasses and passes one over to princess Josephine.

Princess Joséphine took it kindly. She laughed playfully at his curious and somewhat lost postion on the affairs of her family and their culture, she didn't blame him, it was large, strange and interesting to her at times as well.
"Well, I for one dress far simpler usually. I do not like dresses very much, I feel like a doll in them at times. But for Deritains.... Well, for them my outfit is tame. You have not been rude at all Mr. Ambassador.

by **Mountain Sea** » Sun May 17, 2015 2:23 pm

Ambassador Kurosawa laughs
" Yes I too do not usually dress so formally, however it appears to be expected. At home I would wear simple outfits more suited to our mountains. Does Polonge have mountain ranges? perhaps an exchange of hunting parties in future days. We have large bear & wolf, as well as large lions dwelling in the heavier forests.
Of course all Mousers, sorry we call ourselves Mousers as Mountain Sea-rs is a bit too much to say. all Mousers even the central tribes swim & sail. In fact upon my trip here I was admiring the many & varied sea craft I saw. Do you sail?"

Princess Auguste Sophie zoomed over to Princess Joséphine and Ambassador Kurosawa. Moving as fast as she could in her Hollande Belle style pink and white dress, and three inch heels that were hidden in the ruffles of her dress, waving her fan rapidly. She was happy to see her decent cousin, the future Empress of Polonge, and air kissed her twice on each cheek.

"Joséphine, it is so good to see you."

Then the bride's sister spun around to give a polite curtsy to the Ambassador as she check him off on the guest list.

"Mr. Ambassador, I see you have meet with my cousin, Princess Joséphine. I hope she has been as sweet as she usually is."

Crown Princess Aubrey being the 17 year old girl she was, she walked in on her phone behind her mother and father, as well as her twin sister and little brother. Her mother poked her and told her to put it away. Their guard walked in before the royals and the others. Aubrey sighed and put her phone away. Within a year she'd be going to one of the most prestigious colleges in the region. The University of Chesterfield Rock. As they entered, Caroline took hold of her now longtime husband. Leo III was extra enthusiastic to be around this many other royals. Some even if his age. Caroline moved over to Connor. Aubrey meanwhile, stood looking for something to do. The beautiful by nature brunette Crown Princess looked for anyone she may have known or want to meet.

Princess Joséphine listened carefully, taking note of his description of his home country, trying to picture it in her mind.
"Why yes, Polonge does have mountain ranges, high ones too, but they are mostly around our northern and eastern borders. It is like that of a bowl. The center part, were most people live is flat and deep, even in some places below sea level. It is not nearly as hot in Polonge as it is here. What about you country, is if very hot? And no, I do not sail, there are not many waterways safe enough to sail in. My father saw the nation has a huge water supply and movement problem. It could cause huge flooding if something went wrong."

Ambassador Kurosawa bows deeply to Princess Sophie.
" I am deeply honoured to meet you and in the name of the High King I extends the friendship of my land".

He smiles.
"Lady Josephine has been a delight, it has been good to be greeted in friendship, especially as this is my nations first external contact for very many years. However I must confess to some embaresment, though i was provided a great deal of information about manners and culture as well as some details about the bride and groom, I was not provided a description. could you possibly point them out to me so I can extend the High kings greeting to them."

by **Mountain Sea** » Sun May 17, 2015 2:42 pm

Ambassador Kurosawa looks momentarily surprised that Princess Josephine does not sail, but quickly recovers his poise.
" I am saddened to hear this, sailing is the noblest of pursuits the more dangerous the water the greater the skill needed. Still I am sure your Husband or Lover will be glad to teach you this. As to my land, no it is no very warm the northern Mountains are frozen all year around, though the southern mountain are temperate. I suppose the central range could be classified as warm as it holds an active volcano. a source of the lava our carvers use."

King Charles II arrived at the Ruxelles with his usual smile, he loved to party, to attend parties, host parties, sneak into parties, it didn't matter. He enjoyed a good time, the 27 year old King was determine to have a good time. Following him was his younger brother, Prince Henri IV who was only 16 and moving around looking around him with excitement. Despite being heir to the throne he was given most of his time to relax, at least relax when Lord Tudor, his tutor, was breathing down his neck. Following him were his other half-Siblings.

There was Princess Marie Victoria, who Charles nicknamed Vicky who was 17 who was texting rapidly on her smartphone to someone in the Navarre Royal Court. She wore a empire style light blue dress with pink ribbons around her waist and in her hair which was tied up in a bun. She was so busy on her phone she bumped into Prince Henri.

Carlota had her brownish-red hair tied up in a bun covered by flowery hat, biting at her fingers, and looking down at her feet. Or she would have if she hadn't been wearing a puffy red and white dress. She a shy girl who would rather sit quietly in nature than attend a wedding of royalty.

Prince Jean Pedro wore a red colored uniform that went all the way up to his throat, which he for one disliked, but King Charles and Prince Henri seem to to mind as they wore similar uniforms, though Charles's was by fair the most elaborate of colors of red and gold. He stood out like a expensive cherry, Henri and Jean however where more muted by the large amounts of navy blue on their uniforms. They both had big light brown eyes , though Henri's skin was fairer than Jean's who was the color of milk filled coffee.

As the group entered the gardens, Jean notice a brunette haired girl standing around and worried what she was thinking.

" I am saddened to hear this, sailing is the noblest of pursuits the more dangerous the water the greater the skill needed. Still I am sure your Husband or Lover will be glad to teach you this.

Princess Joséphine was sipping on her champagne when she was caught off guard and a bit offended by the ambassador's words. She was caught on his words, Still I am sure your Husband or Lover will be glad to teach you this. Princess Joséphine was offended he would assume that she was married or even in a relationship as one would not be able to tell with her gloved hands, there was nothing to even bring up the idea she could be married.
"What makes you think I have a husband or a lover? That I must have a man in my life because I am a woman?"

Behind her Prince William put his head in his hands.
"Oh no, not this again."

Ambassador Kurosawa tilts his head and looks carefully at Princess Josephine for a moment or two. then laughs loudly.
"You see offence has been caused. I do not for a moment think that you need a man, our women are capable fighters & hunters, better in some cases than the men of their tribes. However I was led to understand that in many nations women marry young, and so I incorrectly assumed the possibility of a husband. Also in my land a woman can take a lover if she chooses and no shame is attached to this, hence my wording of lover. If I am incorrect than I apologise for my error.
Is there now peace between us?"

He looks at Prince William.
"Not this again?"
