Prince Regent Etuarte meet today with President Majange-Vera and President Thornhill of Rogoda and Ondas respectively as they all signed the Treaty of Masefau, creating the Anti-Dutch League. The Anti-Dutch League is a military alliance between the nations of Aogau, Ondas and Rogoda against the imperialistic Dutch Empire that is behind the separatist movement of Gwaga in the north of Rogoda. Aogau and Rogoda have been combating the Gwagan insurgents since the Christmas Day Attack in 2083 that saw widespread fighting and destruction across the continent of Eacus. Now, seeing the growing threat of the Dutch with the explosion of conflict in Dattan, the two nations have been joined by the Republic of Ondas in declaring war against the Dutch-Empire in order to protect one another from the imperialism of Amsterdam.

The Empire is at war. After days of deliberation and the movement of large number of troops as well as general mobilization, the Empress and the States-General official announced the state of war that now exists between the Dutch Empire and the Kingdom of Aogau, Republic of Ondas and Republic of Rogoda.

With the Dutch military forces having been involved in the region for so long already, many suspect that this conflict shall be a short one, with the Dutch’s superior numbers and weapons set to make quick work of the Aogaian, Rogeno and Ondasian forces. New Minister of Foreign Affairs, Michelle Wissink has already recalled all consulates and most Dutch expats in the three nations.

Wissink, successor to the infamous Clem Nano, has taken a hardline against the Anti-Dutch League, and is notable a member of the Hadel Party. Wissink made a statement shortly after the grand declaration of war in the States-General of the new Treaty of Beretseras, forming the Ternary Alliance in response to the Anti-Dutch League with Gwaga and Visayanes being members.,

George Asbury, Prime Minister of the Netherlands has been rumored to have threaten to resign if the Dutch declared war, standing in the past week on the wish to deescalate the situation. However now that the war has begun and fleets are en route, the office of the prime minister has fallen silent.

Connuriste News Roundup - February 28

The City of New Sierrapolis on Astraeus, expected to reach 10 million inhabitants later this year

February 28, 2085 | Lausanne, Switzerland


Today in the daily news summary - if you're only reading one news page today then this one is for you!

1. Unification of Astraeus and interstellar expansion
2. MacDonald condemns Derita, claims they are waging 'shadow war' against Dutch
3. Hyruke also condemned, travel warning issued
4. Minister of Homeland Security - law enforcement must step up to keep up with new criminal technology

In our first batch of news, this week the President of the Connuriste Space Agency (CSA), Claudia Gillory, announced that the former Atmoran colony on the planet of Astraeus has agreed to a unification with the Connuriste colony there, that sees the whole planet fall under Connuriste control. The colonists there had earlier respected the right to leave the former Atmoran colony there to its own governance but this week saw the finalisation of talks between diplomats that saw them become citizens of the Empire of Connuriste. This adds approximately 65 million people to the interstellar population of Connuriste, and also sees the inheritance of control from the Atmoran Fleet stationed there, resulting in 300 warships being added to the Connuriste Interstellar Fleet. Other gains from this include the city of New Sierrapolis, which has just shy of ten million residents, once described as the Crown Jewel of all Atmoran colonies, as well as several areas of interest for mining purposes. In addition, military forces secured bases of operations in the area and control of the full planetary gun network, in what residents there refer as to their 'fortress amongst the stars'. It has been rumoured that military forces have also moved to take control of Atmoran technologies that represent an improvement on Connuriste designs, though it has not been specified what exactly this would be. Regardless, in addition to the colonies established in the Fiore System last year, and increases to population on already established colonies, this week's unification helps to represent a rise of over 30,000% in Connuriste interstellar population.

Secondly, in the wake of the creation of the Anti-Dutch League (ADL) and its declaration of war upon the Dutch Empire, Vice Chancellor Aurelia MacDonald addressed the Imperial Council, declaring that they could not recognise the Kingdom of Derita as neutral in the conflict as long as the Duke of Alençon was leading troops, allegedly volunteers, in the Dattan region. The Minister of Defense and leader of the National Front, Michel de Vada, spoke in support of MacDonald, explaining how the conflict in that region is directly contributing towards the regional tensions in the area, and that if the world is not to recognise, it would set a dangerous precedent for how much interference you can have in a conflict whilst claiming neutrality in it. The floor was then turned back over to the Vice Chancellor, who pointed out that all members of the ADL have recently received money, trade deals and projects from the Kingdom of Derita, and that the Duke of Alençon potentially represents another gift to these nations from Derita in the form of a military leader they take no responsibility for whilst he does the dirty work of their anti-Dutch agenda. Miss MacDonald then went on to describe the situation as a 'shadow war' conducted against the Dutch by Derita, as they attempt to destabilise the Dutch sphere of influence and undermine Dutch authority in the region, saying that 'it should not be tolerated'. The Imperial Council will have further meetings this week to discuss the possibility of intervention in the region against the ADL aggression. The general manner of the council hall was one of the Dutch having every right to feel wronged by recent developments. There was also a discussion about whether the Duke of Alençon should at this time be considered a mercenary or a terrorist. Of course, if the Deritains are unable to control the Duke, then he can be understood as a terrorist. If this is not true, then they are unwilling to control the Duke, which makes him a mercenary, an instrument of war against the Dutch, that no matter how anyone could try and spin it, is indicative of their support for his military actions in the region. There are unconfirmed reports that Connuriste and the Dutch Empire are in contact about the possibility of co-operation. The Foreign Office has also advised that citizens currently in ADL nations should return home and has issued a travel warning to them.

However, in our third item of news, the Kingdom of Derita is not the only nation whose conduct the Vice Chancellor has called into question. Aurelia MacDonald launched a scathing critique of the state of affairs in the country of Hyruke, which was met with a mixed reception. Many applauded her efforts to call the regime into question and most of her opposition came from those who didn't find it necessary to be so vocal in her criticism, even if they agreed that their surveillance program was Orwellian. The Vice Chancellor of Connuriste spoke of how many recent laws and developments in Hyruke had been based upon or led to discrimination against men, and how their surveillance program is an all pervasive power that represents a significant danger to freedom and liberty in the wrong hands. She described one of the heads of the program, Marie of Wied, as "evil, child killing scum" who should never be trusted with power in a free society. Miss MacDonald spoke strongly on how citizens should avoid travel to the nation and questioned how Queen Caroline could possibly give Marie a position of authority. She vowed that Connuriste would never become such a country where the state sought to dictate every aspect of daily life, this time to much louder support.

Finally, the Minister of Homeland Security, Arnold Meyer, has claimed that that law enforcement agencies need more funding and improved access to high technology equipment and resources in their fight to control crime and deliver justice. He has warned that in the present day criminals have access to more kinds of technology than ever before, and that law enforcement must always do what it takes to keep up with and surpass that level. With the rise of affordable and available cybernetics, there has been 'a noticeable evolution in crime' and that the government must invest resources to keep on top of these new opportunities for the nefarious.

Hopfer Condemns Hyruke!

Prime Minister Hopfer addresses the National Assembly

Dierek Dazsob (

February 28, 2085 | Bledapestra, Polonge


In what may be his last address to the first National Assembly of Polonge, Prime Minister Nickolaus von Hopfer spoke on Polonge’s position and place in the world.

“My fellow members of the National Assembly, ministers, my sovereign and the people of Polonge and beyond. We in Polonge have seen a great deal rapid and some would say extreme change over the last nine years. We have seen the reign of three Empresses, each gracious and magnanimous in their rule. We have seen the rise and fall of the parliamentary system of the last half a century. We have seen this National Assembly come together. We have seen an economic boom unprecedented anywhere else in the world in the last half a century. We have seen ourselves take ourselves to the stars and build literally ground breaking projects. We have seen extreme pacifism and unrestrained warfare. We have been in the deeps of isolation and the most exposing grasps of interventionalism.

We have seen, if I may put it lightly, growing pains of an empire. An empire not built on war or oppression or assimilate. Not built on religion or politics, but one built on people. A human empire. An empire of ideas and ideologies that conflict at times and at others combine. We have created something beautiful. And now it is time to spread that beauty. Now, now, I hear many of you grumbling and looking agast, and I know what you are thinking. But I do not mean war. I do not mean crusades. I do not mean missionaries. What I mean is that we as Polongains must be models of society. We must be the champions of civil and human rights, the safe guard of the free flow of ideas, even those that do not align with our own.

That is why we must condemn the policies of those who abuse their power and ignore the rights of mankind. In many people’s eyes, it is the duty of a government to protect the security of its people. But when that search for security goes so far as to eliminate the freedoms and liberities of the people, it is no longer a government. It is a slavemaster. Across the globe and beyond many nations are see liberalization on never before seen levels. But let us not be blind to the truth. For ever nation that marches forward, another crawls backwards. Freedom and liberty must be head high and laid down as the foundation of every modern society regardless of history, politics, and other short sighted ambitions. It must be the flower of a seed planted together by all hands. Only then can we live in a just and greater world.

That will never be done through war. War is not an answer. War is a problem caused by the lack of solutions. It is hard, it is difficult, Hell, at times, it seems impossible. But when there are no solutions that are there, it is up to us to make a solution. This is the modern world, where modern problems require modern solutions. We as a species have achieved more than anything that our parents, and their parents, and their parents could ever have dreamed. We have not only made contact with alien life, but for millions in colonies, they enteract with it in harmony. Our contemporary issues, I am quite afraid to inform you, go beyond anything before. We can not solve them using archaic minds. We must take the next steps and actions in the world with love in our hearts, understanding in our mind and Harmony in our souls. “

The speech was meet with widespread applause and general approval. Many have called the speech, the most assertive force of passive nature they had ever heard, with the Prime Minister on brand moderate nature speaking to many. Kosta Coanda, leader of the Traditionalists, rivals of Hopfer’s Progressives was saidto have stated in a rare show of kindness towards his rival:

“Many people go up there and talk a whole lot of words and say nothing, and Hopfe, like any good politician has done so, for the first time in my life I must say, he went up there and said nothing, and yet he said everything.”

Coronation of King Antonio and Queen Adela

Coronation of the King and Queen

ImageSHARE THIS: Image Image Image Image

Angel Saelices (
@Angel Saelices)
March 2, 2085 | Aranjuez, Espana


Earlier today, King Antonio and Queen Adela were crowned in Aranjuez Royal Cathedral in Aranjuez. Some have in recent years called the act of coronation archaic and undemocratic. As a consequence, the coronation ceremony for King Antonio and Queen Adela was more subdued than those held in previous years. For instance, the traditional coronation procession was eliminated, and instead the King and Queen were escorted to the cathedral in a coronation coach drawn by four horses.

This coronation was noticeably lacking in foreign dignitaries. Whilst previous coronations often held many heads of state, the only foreigners were the partners of the King’s siblings who attended, Rafaël, Prince of Asturias, Crown Princess Emily of Connuriste, Infante Christaan, Crown Prince Enrikos of Cinyras, Infanta Stéphanie and Prince Jonatan of Racraigua; and Prince Frederick of Connuriste, the Queen’s twin brother.

In line with the tradition begun by King Philip II, King Antonio was crowned in uniform, while Queen Adela broke with tradition by selecting a gown without traditional Spanish symbols and wearing white. The two previous queens had worn red gowns adorned with the gold big cats associated with the Espanards.

This coincided with the first of the Fundamental Law’s referendums, the approval of the ascension to the throne by Antonio I, which saw him received 77% of the popular vote of approval. Many have praised the new tradition of a vote on the approval of the king, with many seeing it as a way to in theory, elect the monarch of Espana.

On their way to the coronation, King Antonio and Queen Adela left Aranjuez and took a tour of the country by car. They arrived in returned to Aranjuez after a ten day tour and were greeted by a large crowd of well-wishers at the Royal Estate. They had stopped many places during their tour, as the coronation journey also served to acquaint the people with their new Royal Family and the Royal Family with its new people and country.

This process of making a long journey through large parts of the country in connection with a coronation or consecration dates back to the medieval kings, who were hailed at the various assemblies located throughout the realm. However King Antonio and Queen Adela are the first to do so in modern times. It was met with great cheers of join as Antonio visited many of the cities still rebuilding from the Christmas Day Attack.

Although the cathedral at Aranjuez was never intended to serve as the place for coronations, the entire nave was opened for use to accommodate the largest possible audience. Over 2,300 people were in attendance at the cathedral. The ceremony was performed by Cardinal Antonio Espiga.

Cardinal Antonio Espigan greeted the King with these words: “May the Lord bless your going in and your coming out now and for evermore.”

The King and Queen took their seats on the coronation thrones created for them, the originals from 1700 having been destroyed in the Madrid Royal Palace, which were positioned side by side under a canopy below the central turret. The service began, and following the first section of Antonio Espiga coronation cantata, the coronation was performed.

King Antonio, attired in the coronation robe, stepped forward and knelt before the high altar. Cardinal Espiga anointed the King’s forehead and wrists. The King then seated himself on the coronation throne that was positioned in front of the high altar, and Prime Minister Alex Davalos and Cardinal Espiga together attempted to place the crown on the King’s head. However the King took the Crown from them and placed it on his own head. Minister of Foreign Affairs Marco Juderías then presented the King with the royal sceptre, while Minister of Trade Christian Puig Andino presented the royal orb. The sword of state was presented by the Minister of Defence . Cristian Barrueco. Cardinal Espiga said a prayer for the King’s solemn duties and offered a blessing. The King then returned to the coronation throne under the canopy, wearing the coronation robe and bearing the royal regalia.

Following the third section of the coronation cantata, Queen Adela stepped forward before the King. The Queen was anointed and crowned following the same ritual used for King Antonio. She then returned to the coronation throne bearing her robe and regalia.

Foreign Affairs Minister Juderías concluded the ceremony by stating that the coronation was complete, urging the attendees to join him in declaring “God save the King”.

Dattan Revolution: PONDICHERRI LIBERATED! !


Image

Palace of Pondicherri, found abandoned by Dutch Forces


ImageSHARE THIS: Image Image Image Image

Waazir Vyas (
@Waaxirvyas)
March 3, 2085 | Suttukeni, Dattan


While kings, kaisers and newspaper correspondents are discussing the proprieties of diplomatic interference with the subversive operations of ALENÇON, and contriving pleasant devices for keeping Dattan free under the Wessex dynasty, the steady march of events is making all their wisdom idle and all their schemes ridiculous. As winter turns to spring the advanced guard of the liberating army of Raigoranka made themselves masters of the important town and fortifications of Dhebzar, on the mainland, commanding from the cast the same straits which Messina watches from the west. Once established at Dhebzar, ALENÇON held Dattan in his hand, to be won or lost by a single decisive effort, and it is more than probable that the miserable PRINCE JACQUEs is at this moment safely housed in some one of the many palatial mansions of his hospitable brother of Espana.

Pondicherri, long suffering under the hand of the most vicious and savage Prince of Orange as the Governor of the subcontinent has fallen to the might of the Dattan people and the weapons of the Duke of Alençon. Storming the grand palace that for centuries had been home to emperors, it was found abandon by the Prince of Orange his husband, the manipulative ASBURY. Gathering the colonial administration, for they had treated Dattan as such, ASBURY and the tyrant prince fled the city, with some suggesting flight to Aranjuez whilst others report to Tettemada.

Here in Suttukeni, President BANDYOPADHYAY met with his first foreign ambassador to Dattan, the Kegaran Ambassador Nataye Fassilidas Arefani, for many, marking official recognition of the Dattan Confederacy on the international stage. And even as Dattan soldiers move under the command of militias and LÉANDRE DE HOLLANDE westward on further campaigns, for millions of Dattans, they are freed.

The Nukastan President, in a message to Suttukeni, has officially declared that Nukasta will occupy for the present an attitude of strict neutrality, and there can be no reason for supposing that the formal granting of independent of the subcontinent will encounter any foreign obstacles half so troublesome as the domestic difficulties by which ALENÇON, after taking up his victorious abode at Malabar, will find his tact and his talents more sorely tried than they ever yet have been.

The more than probability that so sudden and splendid an issue of success has really been achieved in an expedition so sublimely hazardous, may well confound the friends as well as the foes of Dattan. History has no page more amazing, and it will be strange indeed if men and women shall not now begin to believe that nothing is to prove impossible to the hero who has overthrown a dynasty and conquered a empire for liberty in the time of a Summer's parade. Yet it will be well for us to remember that the proclamation of just of Southern and Eastern Dattan to the States of the Confederacy will not suffice to constitute that realm of Dattan which all the generous instincts of mankind have already put into the keeping of the movement.

Majority of the country remains to be won without wrong done to the most embarrassing, the most vexatious, and at the same time the most reverend of rulers. And beyond Tettemada, Naramak awaits, in a passion of dumb endurance, the hour of her inevitable redemption from the most shameless and the most inhuman of tyrannies. It is a curious commentary on the relation between the faith and the politics of mankind, that while all the world applauds the interference of ALENÇON to prevent a savage tyrant prince from slaughtering his own subjects in honor of his own mother, it never occurs to any statesman that the deliberate assertion by Wessex of her right to torture, oppress, insult and plunder nearly two billion of true Hindus chained to her car of State, is a far more flagrant outrage upon our common humanity. The Prince of Orange, at his immoral and horrific savage that he is only a fraction than the Empress of the Dutch in Amsterdam.

However the rest of the world may lull its conscience with State maxims before this hideous spectacle of Dattan suffering, it is impossible that Dattan, free from the Ghowan Desert to Raigoranka and the sea, should be long indifferent to the scandal and the wrong. Every step, therefore, which ALENÇON and Dattan make in their onward career of triumph, hastens the inevitable hour of war upon the Dutch intruder; and the more prompt and peaceful the Dacadattan victories of the Deliverer, the nearer we may be assured does that hour lie. Every battle spared the Dattan cause in the east is a season gained for the organization of hostilities in the West.

The Capitulation of Tettemuda


Image

The Prince of Orange flees Dattan


ImageSHARE THIS: Image Image Image Image

Vasishtha Sarkar (
@V.SarkarDSN)
March 31, 2085 | Suttukeni, Dattan


One of the most puzzling knots in the great Eacusian tangle has been at last loosened, and that most opportunely. We are told by report that Tettemada has finally capitulated, and that the Prince of Orange, "the last of the tyrants of Dattan," has taken refuge with his family on board a Spanish private jet and fled, we know not whither, but may conjecture to Espana.

So ends the extraordinary episode of the Siege of Tettemada. It was, after all, despite its weak points, a not unfitting conclusion to the Wessex dynasty in Dattan. The last government in Eacusia which held obstinately to the absolute feudal system and feudal tyranny, it was still fit that the lost flash of its taper should show some sparks of feudal chivalry. The crown prince -- there is something romantic in the very title -- adhering obstinately to a political system, of which he was not the author, as his brother ANTONIO I courteously states, could appropriately enough fight to the last like a preux chevalier. And here we may also appropriately enough smile at the derision of the Spanish King in re MAHALANABIS, that the conduct of the great condottiero "was chivalric but crack-brained."

What must his secret opinion of the crown prince have been when he heard that artillery shells had lodged in the room above the Royal chamber? And how VANWINSUM may that celebrated "side-smile" have been when his young friend gave him full and generous credit for disinterested alliance! Not that we believe the Spanish King to have been sorry to have had the opportunity to do a good action -- on the contrary, we sincerely think that like that good-natured little sinner, Becky Sharp, he had much rather do a good turn to any one than not -- especially when it may be in any respect profitable.

The profit of the Spanish support of the Prince of Orange has by this time become apparent enough. Long before the fleet was withdrawn, we declared it to be our opinion that the siege was prolonged as a counter-irritant to the Matadian trouble. Had it not been for Tettemada, there would have been such a concentration of Dattan and Eacusian enthusiasm in Matadi that a general A.D.L. and perhaps Red Republican conflict could not have been avoided. Since we expressed this opinion, the immense efforts of New England and Polonge to effect a peaceable secession of Dattan, and the influences brought to bear on ALENCON, have fully confirmed our views. It may be that this siege of Tettemada has been the means of preventing the spread of the most general war in Eacusia. In any case it has very considerably modified it, and given constituted authorities time for resistance.

The capitulation in question has also a very favorable aspect from another point of view. The Dattan Parliament, now about to meet, has by it a very serious stumbling-block to free and united action removed from its path. With internal reforms of the most serious magnitude to carry out, with jarring interests to reconcile and heavy taxes to raise, and with the dark cloud of the Dutch still lowering over the Northwest, Tettemada would have been an intolerable thorn in the Dattan side. This difficulty removed, we may hope so much the more for peaceful progress. It is over -- peace to it. It will merit a distinguished place in history as the last battle fought in Dattan between the uncompromising despotism which yielded in nothing, and the cause of popular liberty.

Asbury Administration collapses!

March 31, 2085 | Amsterdam, Dutch-Empire


The People of the Dutch Empire took to the streets with a rage never before seen in them as news reaches the capital of the Prince of Orange’s capitulation in Tettemada to the Duke of Alençon and the Dattans. With a fiery fear that this means the end of control of the sub-continent and that this spark could lead to revolts in the rest of the colonies. Even more with the anger is the most burning ball of emotions felt by those who scream for the end of the “Dutch Embarrassment”, the idea that the Dutch have been made fools on the international stage for too long.

To combat this, riots demanding change, vengeance and war has spread throughout the capital, Rotterdam, Zaadam, The Hague and Batavia on unprecedented levels. The riots saw over 900 people injured, with 54 people being found dead, 50 of which were, perhaps should be noted, of Dattan descendent. One Dutch MP, Thies Rijmink was killed when a homemade bomb was thrown into his townhouse. No one has been arrested for the riots and subsequent damages and even deaths that have taken place.

Demands for change did not stop in the streets. It was also found clamoring in the chambers of the States-Generaal where George Asbury attempted and failed to have them recognize the capitulation of Tettemada as a ceasing of hostilites in Dattan and recognition of it as an independent republic. Mr. Asbury was shouted down in the midst of his statement and a motion of no confidence was prompted by Carolien Jeurnink and quickly and overwhelming saw Asbury loose control and be removed, with foreign affairs minister Michelle Wissink taking charge as a caretaker prime minister.

Michelle Wissink, the de facto head of the Hadel Party and the architect behind the Ternary Alliance and the Eacusian War, has been called a Warhawk and Wissink the Warhawk. And she has risen to power in an unprecedented manner. The successor to Clem Nano, she joined the Cabinet of Asbury III as a appeasing appointment to the Hadel Party. Now she has risen to the most powerful government position in the country. Wissink has stated: “The Dattan people do not exist, they are Dutch. Dattan is Dutch. And they shall be under the Dutch Empire.”

This was met with wild yelps and cheers in support with cries of “Dattan is Dutch!” and an even louder and more venomous “Kill Alençon!” Wissink is expected to greatly increase Dutch military spending and launch a counter-invasion into Dattan. A general election of the States-Generaal has been scheduled to take place in June.

The Royal Family wasn’t safe from this wave of rage, instead finding themselves at the center of it. The Prince of Orange has yet to return to Amsterdam, believed to be in Espana. His younger twin brother Prince Jean and his wife Princess Charlotte were shockingly attacked by riots, having several non lethal objects thrown at them before they were hurried away into a car. People attempted to march on the palace to speak directly to the Empress, unaware that she wasn’t even in the city. Finally it was Prince Christaan who was able to calm the crowd.

King William Recognizes Dattan’s Independence, Eighth Strike Fleet Deployed to Dattan along with 42nd Orbital Assault Corps


Today marks a great change in New England involvement in the Dattan War for Independence, particularly with the defeat of the Prince of Orange. King William himself came up in front of a large press conference, and announced that not only did he, and by extension the Stellar Kingdom, recognize the independence of Dattan, but that the Stellar Military, as of this point forward was granting full protection to the nation of Dattan. While a full declaration of war has not yet been made against the Dutch Empire, his majesty has confirmed that he is keeping the option close at hand should the need for an offensive action arise.

As of now, the deployment of the Eight Solar Strike Fleet has been deployed over Dattan, and has been given orders to standby to provide tactical and strategic orbital support. Meanwhile, the 42nd Orbital Assault Coros has been ordered to remain on standby, and is to be deployed to Dattan at the first sight of a Dutch offensive. The Admiralty has not released any further details as to troop movements and fleet movements, but it has been estimated that additional forces are being allocated and prepared for the possibility of deployment of New England forces to Dattan.

Assassination of Bandyopadhyay by Auragisaṭa!

Acting President Padhya speaks in mourning white

“This criminal act is a clear attempt to put an end to the development and democratization of Dattan and plunge it into a state of servitude once again and was carried out by those who have been trying over the past few years to do so through various murders and assassinations," the government said in an official statement.

Officials are speculating that the shooting could be linked to a crime wave in the country and the government's efforts to stamp out the remains of the Dutch’s control from the sub-continent.

The government is blaming a criminal group called the Satara clan, named after Dacadattan supporters of the Prince of Orange, the Auragisaṭa, or Orangist, for the killing, but made no mention of arrests, although local media said two or three people had been held, SARKAR reports.

"The murder ... represents an attempt by this criminal clan to cause chaos, lawlessness and fear in this infancy of the country," the Duke of Alençon said.

The government declared a state of emergency soon after the assassination, handing control of security to the Dattan military under a triumvirate, ALENÇON, KAPODA SHIRSVASATA and CHANDA GOYAL.

"The government will do everything in its power to protect peace and democracy in Dattan and protect our liberity," the statement said.

Dattan was in shock Wednesday after the assassination of President Ravi Bandyopadhyay, who played a key role in the overthrow of Prince of Orange, the monarchy and the independence of the nation and personified the country's postwar future down a peaceful and moderate path.

President BANDYOPADHYAY, 94, was hit by two bullets in the stomach and chest outside the main Pondicherri Palace, which is being used as a state building in the new capital of Pondicherri. The married great-grandfather was taken to hospital but doctors were unable to save him.

The government said "the method in which the assassination was carried out is known," but it did not elaborate.

Another person was wounded in the shooting at about 12:25 p.m. (1125 GMT), police said. The shots came from a distance, suggesting a sniper pulled the trigger.

Police, on the hunt for the perpetrators, were stopping cars and searching them. Pondicherri’s airport had been closed for departures; only arrivals were allowed, but it was expected to be fully opened soon.

Three unidentified people were arrested but it was unclear what their role may be in connection with the incident, police sources said.

BANDYOPADHYAY’s assassination was announced as the government met in an emergency session, and participants held a moment of silence. The government has declared three days of state mourning from Thursday to Saturday

A senior official of the Confederacy ruling coalition said the government, which confirmed Bandyopadhyay’s death, had appointed Senator Manas Padhya as acting President of the Confederacy and Mahadaji Bhattacharya as acting second in command, Sarkar reported. PADHYA and BHATTACHARYA has formed the Independence Triumvirate that had gone to Amsterdam along with Bandyopadhyay to negotiate Dattan Independence in early 2084, only to be forced to run for their lives. PADHYA, 41 and BHATTACHARYA, 45 are expected to take a more radical stance than the “Grandfather of Dattan”.

PADHYA appeared on television and said: "The assassination of the President of the Dattan Confederacy, Zoran Djindjic, was a criminal act by those who want to disrupt reforms, democracy, change, progress and independence in Dattan."

At the behest of Prince Akhenaten, the Queen has allowed her youngest son to establish the Royal Peace Corps. Irisids first deployable force to ever be commisioned. A purely humanitarian force, the Prince is interested in taking the medical resources of Irisid, which he has had a firm support in developing, and using it for good around the world. The Royal Peace Corps or RPC will operate in active combat zones and hopefully mitigate casualty loss in future warzones. Time will only tell if it will help.

President Henele, mastermind behind the self-coup

As the nation prepared for an upcoming election in August, a constitutional crisis has emerged. According to the old constitution, a president serves only one term and can not run for a second term, and despite a new constitution being adopted in 2081 with the abdication of King Alika I (Alexandre I) and the return to a republic, there was never a point that addressed the limits of presidencies under the new constitution. This lead to a fierce debate over if President Palakiko Henele (Franz Henry) could run for a second term.

The question was answered today when President Henele decided himself. He in a statement to the National Assembly dissolves the constitutions, the current and old one, declaring them outdated and illegitimate in their jurisdiction, and dissolved the very National Assembly that he stood before. In the same swift motion, President Henele vowed to restore a “system established by the Keʻelemakule”, the religion of Mantara that has been sweeping over the populace. He declared universal suffrage for all Mantarans over the age of 16.

President Palakiko Henele has declared himself Kuhina Nui of Mantara with a national mandate for the next ten years, as well as being declared by his supporters and the Mantaran Defense Force commanders and leadership and the soldiers that make it up as President for Life. President Henele is only 52 so he seems to be ready to govern the nation as President for years to come. The self-coup has been regarded as inevitable by some and pleasantly gentle for a coup, giving it the nickname it Henele’s Soft Coup or Henele Hoʻopunipuni.

Prince Frederick introduces son to the world!

Prince Frederick and his son, Prince Vigeli

April 10, 2085 | Aranjuez, Espana


The world is in love the newest modeling prince in the form of Vigeli Pearson as he made his photo shoot debut on snapgram for over six million fans. Well. Sort of.

Famous modeling prince, Frederick of Connuriste and his wife, Alice Rüegsegger, welcomed into the world their first son who was born Tuesday morning and they wasted no time letting the whole world know as they posted pictures for their six million followers on snapgram for them to see. Alice, who is 20 and has 61k followers referred to their son as their “little prince” while Frederick who is 22 and has 6 million followers referred to him as their “little angel” and “the most perfect gift”. We wonder how long it will be before Vigeli has a significant Instagram following of his own.

One would think that we would have heard about the pregnancy months ago, but it seems the Pearson children simply love their secrets and surprises. Like his sisters, Frederick had a secret wedding, a double wedding with his twin sister, Queen Adela of Espana. Frederick and Alice have in the past months lived a very private life, much to the handsome prince’s fan’s disappointment with the couple living in both Lausanne and Aranjuez. Frederick didn’t reveal his marriage or the pregnancy until he and Alice were spotted holding hands in Aranjuez after his brother-in-law’s coronation.

Image
Prince Frederick, Prince Vigeli and Alice Rüegsegger


“Hey guys I just wanted to let you in on an important part of my personal life,” he wrote in his low key announcement post. “I have some wonderful and surprising news—Alice and I are having a baby!”

Alice, who refused taking any royal titles upon her marriage to Frederick gave birth Tuesday morning at Aranjuez Hospital del Tajo. The couple are currently staying in Aranjuez with the King and Queen of Espana, the Queen and her twin brother being seemingly inseparable! The two, now three came together to take pictures, no surprise with Frederick coming from a family of the most photogenic people much to everyone’s delight! Vigeli is as adorable as his parents, and is the first grandson of the Emperor and Empress of Connuriste.

Many are wondering about Vigeli’s name, not being a standard “William” or “Connor” or other traditional recycled royal name. Frederick and Alice have, according to friends, said that they wish for their son to be judged by his character and own personal merits, not by his name or ancestry. And with there being multiple Prince Fredericks across the world to the point where it can be confusing on who’s who by even the most devote royalist, it makes sense. There is no doubt the world will remember the adorable Prince Vigeli.

April 12, 2085 | Nikosia, Cinyras


King Loudovíkos has closed the national borders today following his return from holiday in Selesburge by royal decree. The King's soldiers meanwhile have seized control of many plots of land that contain the Enrikosvilla plant that over the last year has swept across the country following the crossbreeding of the alien kiberry plant and native plants and then invaded the native ecosystem. This ecological crisis has been called by Dr. Nasia Karahaliou, the King's Royal Botanist as a great war. However it seems that that war is over. Royal authorities have over the last year been blocking off large sections of the country from the population in order to protect them from the subjectively adverse effects on people.

Now however the King is cracking down on human influence on the Enrikosvilla, seizing control of any and all areas of land which holds it, in the name of the Crown, a legal right never before used on such a scale. Even the army has been used to evict people as this massive land seizure takes place. Those who have been found with Enrikosvilla pollen, leaves, berries or other such contraband have been taken into custody and any and all movement in and out of the country has been temporarily halted in order to protect and prevent the spread of Enrikosvilla outside of the country. The shutdown is set for the next three days as new border security programs and devices are put into place. Meanwhile those who attempt to leave the country will be punished by immediate execution.

This royal decree and new policy coincides with the arrival of a new company, The Cinyroite Garden headed by Koralia Verga as CEO and supposedly has several "high profile" members on their Board of Executives who have kept their identities private. With its headquarters in Selesburge City, T.C.G. has opened up already a half a dozen facilities for construction in the past two weeks with many reports having been referenced but not fully released promising a blooming of jobs in the cities that have the new planned facilities. Ms. Verga is believed to have meet with King Loudovíkos whilst he was in Selesburge and been an influence in the new royal decree. T.C.G. has marked its goals as "The Cinyroite Garden grows, procures, markets, and sells Cinyroite berries and other fresh fruits."

There are many planned leases and economic deals supposedly planned between the King and The Cinyroite Garden with an estimated 700,000 jobs expected to be created in the next eighteen months.

Drought in Seidang!Image


For the second time in within a decade drought has come to Seidang as wide spread farms have dried up in the summer's heat, ruining much the harvest that was expected to be found later this year. The widespread crop failure in the wake of the ongoing natural disaster has been blamed in some degree on the Imperial Government who had not prepared the argicultural sector of the nation despite promises to reforming of this sector. The drought is not showing any signs of lifting up any time soon and a national emergency has been declared. Imports are expected to rise from Derita and Aogau in order to prevent a food crisis in the countryside.

Prince’s Pleasure Palace


Image

Apellaios Palace


ImageSHARE THIS: Image Image Image Image

Giannoula Eliade (
@GianEliadeReport4U)
August 10, 2085 | Kórkyra, Cinyras


Royals Life was perfectly pleased with an exclusive into the private princely pleasure palace of Enríkos of Cinyras in Kórkyra. The Crown Prince of Cinyras, who turns 23 this upcoming December recently left Geroskipou Palace, the home of the Milanés Dynasty since the Crown Prince’s grandfather became king. The lovely made Apellaios Palace, built for the prince as a 21st birthday gift however is not a rival court, but a luxurious lodging of love.

Seated on the top of a mountain that gives a panorama of the island of Kórkyra, the palace is enchanting. As the Crown Prince prepared visitors to the magnificent structure he said: “I told them, I want a palace with pillared colonnades and hanging gardens, protected from prying glances - a palace worthy of Apollon, who radiated light from above and whom the others all revolves around.” And it is surely worthy of the beautiful sun god that no one can help but see Enríkos in.

Beautiful statues line the route up to the palace and exist everywhere across the property. Prussian sculptor Heinrich Rehert was commissioned to create works inspired from Cinyroite mythology. The statues, coming in silver, gold and marble depict the nude, free and... vibrant world of beautiful nymphs, breathtaking goddesses and handsome demigods. However, standing out among all of them are those of Enrikos as Apollon, of which there are many, each dome with great detail.
Image

Reader, we would like to show images, but I fear that the statutes often depict such vigor in the prince that our audience may not be able to handle the emotions that might otherwise be provoked, though we assure you that the prince seems to have been endowed well worth a young god.

This however is not the end, and stepping into the palace one is overcome with he beauting and stunning design of the palace. It is clear to see that the architectural design was intended to represent an ancient Phaeacian palace. The building, with the classic Cinyroite statues that surround it, is a monument to erotic romanticism as well as escapism, joining the theme of the sun god is Eros and Aphrodite.

More excitingly are the parties hosted by the Crown Prince at Apellaios. Free from the King’s Courtly instructions in Nikosia, the Crown Prince has taken to throwing parties twice, sometimes even thrice a week. Each grandeur than the last. Royals Life was able to attend one such parties and it was spectacular, something straight out of myth, with such games, activities and dazzeling sights that would make even the Gênoise blush! In one such party, the Crown Prince lead the festivities entirely in the nude save for a perizoma whilst fireworks lit the sky, circus performers wowing the crowd and scantily clad servers with all forms of Enrikosvilla.
Image

The dazzle and otherworldliness of the whole experience is that of the Lotus Eaters of myth. We ask for forgiveness in our readers that we are unable to fully describe the scenes that were witnessed, for some are beyond words, while others are well within the realm of words, but we dare not go into such sensual detail.

But it is not all sex and parties for the playboy prince. Enrikos uses Apellaios to host art auctions, hosting several works by Rizamos. The Crown Prince also has over 89 vintage cars from across the world in his state of the art high tech garage. The Crown Prince has also made his pleasure palace a home of high fashion, with private fashion shows being put on my Gênoise models for the prince and his close friends, the Queen of Espana, the Queen of Makonia, Prince Christaan, and Louis de Réthy. Apellaios also includes three basketball courts, six pools, and a golf course, where he plays holes with the Grand Dauphin.

Staffed with over 1,000 workers, from gardeners to poolboys, to maid to models, to cooks to personal assistants, Enrikos himself reported that he spends upwards of 150 million astartes a day on average. Thus it should be no surprise that he happily embraces the source of his tremendous wealth, Enrikosvilla. Found across the estate, it’s scent lingers permanently in the idea, warming the most frigid of people. During the day, flags fly over the estate, bright pink and with the sun on it, the embrace of the flower from the sun god.
Image

The Crown Prince told us that while Apellaios is a personal estate, he has intentions to build a new much larger palace elsewhere for himself in Cinyras. We can’t wait to see what magnificent that holds.

New Frigate Reveals the Future of New England Shipbuilding

The Stellar Navy has always made its best effort to stay at the forefront of spacefaring technology, especially in the area of warship construction and design. Today, the Navy has shown that, despite the war on the frontier, and rising troubles with corsairs in the outer colonies, that this has not changed, in fact, these threats have only acted as further encouragement for the research and development divisions of the Navy. This was made clear when the Navy not only announced, but christened and launched twelve new vessels, titled the Reaper Class, a new breed of frigate made in response to the deadly hit and run attacks carried out by the alien corsairs. The vessel features newer, more powerful fusion engines, pushing it to speeds well in excess of even the fastest Corvettes that have come before it, as well as making use of an advanced fusion jet design that makes it one of the most maneuverable ships in the entire fleet, only matched by very small gunships and Corvettes. The ships armament is also formidable for a ship of her size, utilizing powerful mass drivers using plasma explosive rounds to increase the already considerable destructive potential of the long range weapons. She also fields the most advanced and powerful sensor system yet fielded by the Stellar Navy, capable of picking up small starships from nearly twenty billion kilometers away, including vessels that utilize thermal and optical cloaking technology. She holds a maximum crew of a hundred, with most nonessential functions carried out automatically by robots and AI constructs. While she may not be the largest and most powerful ship out there, she is a sign of things to come, and it is a bright future ahead indeed.

Murder of Henry Lovelace!


A Coup in Scotland! A most shocking murder! The internal conflicts that have for decades plagued our fair kingdom seem only to continue strike at us. For those unfamiliar with the current state of affairs in Scotland, some context must be established. For the last three years, Scotland has been ruled by Henry Lovelace, Earl of Mar; the ruthless tactician who assisted the Queen against the rebellious Duke of Rothesay. The Queen, known for her iron fist since Rothesay’s rebellion, has notably soften with her pregnancy, believed to be her third with at least two miscarriages previously being revealed. The Queen, who has been married to King consort André for the last six years, has been ecstatic in hopes of finally providing a long awaited heir.

At the same time we must consider the lives of Queen Adelaide’s two sisters, Adela and Sofia. The latter and youngest has left Scotland a year ago to marry Crown Prince Baudouin of Beliany, leaving mostly out of Scottish Politics. Meanwhile, heiress presumptive Princess Adela earlier this year married Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, also known as Lord Bosworth, an Espanard aristocrat. However it has been rumored that Queen does not approve of Adela’s match, Bosworth not being of royal blood and his family being a supporter of King Antonio I of Espana. Under the dictatorial like premiership of Lord Lovelace, the princess and lord have been stifled in their advancements and stand to loose the princess’s large income once she is no longer heiress presumptive upon the birth of the Queen’s child.

Meanwhile, Lord Lovelace, who has never been the most popular man with the nobles of Scotland or even the people, though at least respected by the latter for his efficiency and good guidance of the nation since the waning days of 2082; has grown very wealthy in recent years. While officially gaining such riches from the acquisition of hotels, an exclusive country club in the Highlands, and even smart investments in the profitable Enrikosvilla trade, some have their doubts. It has been rumored that Lord Lovelace has been stealing money from the government, funding his own pockets instead of the government’s projects to improve the country. It is with all this in mind that such chaotic events unfolded last night.

At 8pm last night, Lord Bosworth, (son of Jacobo FitzJames, 14th Duke of Berwick and brother-in-law to the Queen) and a large group of conspirators (around 18 men) made their way through the Palace of Stirling to the Queen's supper chamber where she was enjoying a meal with Lord Henry Lovelace and some other friends. Bosworth entered first, to reassure his heavily pregnant sister-in-law, and then Lord Reesbooth, with fully armed guards, entered the room informing Queen Adelaide that Lovelace had offended her honour and defrauded the nation. Queen Adelaide asked him to leave, saying that any offence committed by Lovelace would be dealt with by the Lords of Parliament, but she was ignored and Reesbooth ordered Bosworth to hold her. Queen Adelaide got up angrily and the terrifying Lovelace snapped at Reesbooth, commanding him to stand down, who faltered before one of his guards drew his gun. Reesbooth’s men then proceeded to shoot Lovelace who was then hauled out of the room. Queen Adelaide could not do anything to help him, she had a pistol pointed at her.

Lovelace was then shot multiple times, with the final blow being delivered by Lord Bosworth’s gun, although he was not the one brandishing it. Reports state that at least 40 shots were heard in the palace, with so many coming not from the difficultly to kill Lovelace, but a sadistic desire to draw out the death. When the Queen confronted Bosworth, wanting to know why he had been a part of such a wicked deed, and Bosworth was joined by Princess Adela, who had arrived from her seat in Edinburgh with soldiers. The two sisters, one newlywed and the other pregnant, broke into a fierce verbal fight, both being reduced to tears. After this argument between the princess and Queen, Lovelace’s lifeless body was thrown down the stairs and Queen Adelaide and King André were placed under guard, where they and several others remain prisoner.

The imprisonment of the Queen and her husband, the death of the Prime Minister and the princess’s control over the capital and now the royal seat of power has left many confused and concerned this morning, as the future remains unclear. The scene remains eerily similar to the chaos of Rothesay’s rebellion, but the princess has not declared herself queen, at least not yet. The weak shell of a parliament has been through into a frenzy and there is a fear that a feudalistic system of noble warlords might return if the Queen or even just a Queen is not returned to their state of power. For the moment, Princess Adela holds the fate of Scotland in her hands. Let us pray and weep for our nation.

King William Issues Ultimatum to Lord Bosworth, Legion III Mobilized for Conbat Deployment

It was mere hours ago that the murder of Lord Lovelace, and the arrest of the Scottish Royal Family, came to the knowledge of the interstellar community. This knowledge seems to have hit the desk of his majesty. It was mere minutes ago that Legion III, under the command of Grand Lord Julak, was ordered into combat readiness and into orbit over Scotland, and were ordered to be prepared for a combat drop at the slightest notice.

It was after this order was given that King William himself issued an official ultimatum against the offending parties within Scotland, the terms of which were as follows.

By Order of King William, Sovereign of New England and all of her colonies, of the following terms are not carried out in their entirety within 24 hours, then full military force will be brought upon the forces loyal to Lord Bosworth, with all of the efficiency and lethality to be expected.
1- the release of Queen Adelaide unharmed and in good health, along with her family
2- An official apology for the murder of Lord Lovelace
3- An official abdication of Lord Bosworth, and surrender to loyalist forces


Along with the forces and vehicles of Legion III, the starships of Battlefleet Homefront, totaling 165 vessels, has been deployed in an official blockade of Scotland, with orders to destroy and ships entering or leaving the nation until either the conditions of the ultimatum are met, or until an invasion is under way.

The nation was captivated this morning as Empress Maria Christina gave an emotional statement in regards to the current situation in Scotland. Empress Maria Christina, who is nearly the same age as Queen Adelaide and similarly succeeded her mother and is similarly pregnant currently, naturally cake to sympathize with the imprisoned Queen of Scots. She came on television and addressed the nation on her and the empire’s stance.

Scotland, is to many in Polonge a land of beauty and mystery. It has captured the imagination of millions and stands as a friend to Us. But through the mists of the highlands and the distance that separates Us from Our sister across the sea. Treachery has gripped the heart of Scotland. We are most distressed to hear of the unfolding of last nights events. We wish to see Our fellow monarch be freed from the nest of lies and betrayal that has been brought down No Queen, and no *mother* should have to face such familial treachery. We wish to see the Queen freed and her child left unharmed. Lord Bosworth and this gang of assassins must be brought to justice and law and order restored to Scotland. They have acted shamefully and as traitors to their Crown Sovereign. We wish to see reconciliation between Our sister and her own. Many nations have been built on blood. But none can survive on the spilling of blood of the innocent.


It has been stated from the Emperor’s office, that the air force has been mobilized in the area, believed to be ready to rescue the Scottish Queen and King if necessary. Emperor consort Matthieu and King consort André are notable friends from their teenage years in Vanessa where they both took part in the cultural and artistic renaissance that look place in the city in the 2070’s. Their friendship has continued to this day. It is the greatest desire, said the Emperor, that we see Queen Adelaide and Princess Adela and all of Scotland reconcile peacefully and to show the strength of the family unit.

After years of fighting each other for control of their nation then falling into a period of silence, Aellyrian war Blitzmaschine arrived on the shores of Scotland without warning. When asked a public relations representative for the Zuerst said, "The Zuerst often blames the Scottish campaign for the fall of the nation, and the need to remake the nation. The wolfwaffen will secure Scotland and order it in a correct fashion, as the Zuerst commands." There were no further comments.

A Royal Escape!


Chaos in Scotland! As ultimatums come in from Polonge and New England and attacks by Aellyrians, more events unfold. The ever clever Queen Adelaide, along with King consort André have escaped Stirling Castle! The details of the escape are muddled and still coming in, but reportedly the Queen and King escaped under the cover of smoke after starting a firing from the chambers they had been locked in and scaled one of the palace walls before taking a car and fleeing across the country.

As Bosworth and Princess Adela and their supporters scrambled, with a number of them fleeing, including the belligerent Reesbooth who is believed to be the mastermind behind the plot to kill Lord Lovelace. In Glasgow the supporters of the Queen have ordered no one to leave the nation and the navy has declared for Queen Adelaide. Meanwhile the Air Force has declared for Princess Adela and Lord Bosworth. The army is still divided.

But the internal struggles have not distracted the Scottish from the attack by the Aellyrians, not suspected to have caused the crisis in the first place in order to invade. At Dunbar Castle, the new Earl of Mar, Henry Lovelace III, son of the late Lord Lovelace along with his stepdaughter, the Countess of Moray, the Queen’s illegitimate half-sister and strongest supporter have taken command in the defense of the nation and welcomed the Queen and King to safety as they engaged the Aellyrians.

After the fire in Stirling Castle and the escaped of the Queen and King, and the fleeing of Reesbooth, Princess Adela and Lord Bosworth have both also fled and are wanted, alive, by the Queen’s supporters.

King William declares war on Scotland after terms of Ultimatum Remain unmet



Image
A Legion III Vanguard after landing in Scotland

Today, New England was filled with activity, as things in Scotland have, once again, started to spiral out of control. However this has not caused his majesty to flinch, as he has not lost sight of the goals of his Ultimatum. An hour ago, King William issued a formal declaration of war against the Kingdom of Scotland, and ordered the immediate deployment of military forces into the nation.

Immediately after this declaration, Battlefleet Homefront began a series of strategic orbital bombardments against defensive aerial and military installations, while also targeting any and all Scottish orbital constructions that are still operational. This precise, and deadly, bombardment was then followed by the landing of Companirs I, II, and III of Legion III via orbital drop, landing near Glasgow, and securing a landing zone for further forces to land, which was followed by the deployment of additional Vanguard forces, as well as the 19th Mechanized regiment. These actions have made it clear that his majesty is true to his word, and that this time, noncompliance will not be tolerated

Hearts and Minds


Aellyrian Forces have started to set up refugee camps in the rural villages of Scotland. Zuerst Aeylgarn in his benevolence has recognized that not all the Scottish are to blame for their governmental incompetence and should be cared for as any decent person would want. Citizens are funneling in every day to recieve shelter, food, and medical care from the Wolfwaffen as their lives are once again upended. A spokes person from the capital city of Trollhattan has claimed the Zuerst has nothing but the care of the people in mind for Scotland and doesn't wish to see any of them harmed.

Princess Adela, captured at the gates of Dunbar Castle


In the tense 48 hours or so since the murder of Lord Henry Lovelace and the temporary holding of the Queen and King, great tides have changed in the subsequent series of events. Yet another great tide has turned now. In the surrender of Princess Adela and Lord Bosworth.

Princess Adela and Lord Bosworth arrived at the gates of Dunbar Castle, the stronghold that the Queen and the Countess of Moray have rallied around with an army. The Queen herself, despite being heavily pregnant, took on army gear and was prepared to lead her soldiers into battle herself against Stirling and then turn onto the invaders of the Scottish country, prepared to battle several fronts at once as only a true Scottish Queen could ever think to do and succeed. It was here that Princess Adela and her husband, Lord Bosworth arrived, on foot, and in disguise, having abandoned their usual finery.

The Princess demanded an audience with her sister, the Queen. She, along with her husband, was granted this and the Queen dropped her plans on battling for Stirling, now free of the conspirators and went to the Great Hall of Dunbar Castle. She was flanked by the new Earl of Mar, the Countess of Moray, her other sister, Crown Princess Sofia of Beliany (who arrived only hours before with a team of medics) and her husband, the King consort. It was here that Princess Adela and Lord Bosworth were brought and fell to their hands and knees, with the princess having to push her husband's head to the ground.

This is the account of his fateful meeting:

The Princess Adela, bowing her head to the floor, tears in her eyes spoke with shaking words.

"Your Majesty, I, we, beg your forgiveness."

The Queen, her hand on her swollen stomach scowled.

"You dare come here to grovel for forgiveness?"

"We have been deceived, tricked by dark forces that wish to turn us against one another. They wish to us fight, princess against Queen, sister against sister! We meant no harm against you. We meant only to help. The Aellyrians, the Duke [of Berwick] provided my husband with evidence of Lord Lovelace's crimes!"

"You believed them over your Queen?"

"We knew not your awareness of the Lord's financial state, for you, oh most excellent Princess, we could not imagine you'd be involved in such corruption. We meant only to arrest him, so that he may face your judgement, the most high in this land . It was Lord Reesbooth who had the vice of murder burning in his veins, and it was he who wished him dead. You yourself paid witness to my husband's absence in the participation in the act. Lord Lovelace's murder is an inexcusable crime! It was then that Reesbooth tried to imprison you and us. We barely escaped with our lives!"

The Queen, clearly most frustrated and upset, and with her hand over her stomach was silent for a moment. It was here that the King consort and Crown Princess of Beliany spoke each in turn.

"Adelaide. She is your sister."

"She is our sister."

The Queen was again silent for a moment and Bosworth began to speak, but the Queen raised her hand to silence everyone.

"I may be magnanimous in my decision. My sister. Rise."

Princess Adela rose to her feet, whilst Lord Bosworth stayed with his head pressed to the floor at the Queen's feet. The Princess kissed the hand of the Queen, and then the Queen pulled her close and kissed her cheeks, the princess repeated the action, marking a kiss of reconciliation. The Queen took her sisters hands, squeezing them.

"Forgiveness is given. You are as heart to Our heart as ever. Now. We must defend Scotland against her enemies."


The reconciliation between the Queen and her sister has been seen as having been the working of the pacifistic King Andre and Crown Princess Sofia. Shortly after Princess Adela's statement against Reesbooth and Aellyria, the remaining armed forces of the kingdom rallied behind the Queen, with what being left of the air force declaring for her. In Glasgow and Edinburgh cheers were heard across the cityscape as people waved the national flag and chanted "Long Live Adelaide!". Reesbooth and other conspirators have been declared enemies of the People, the State and the Queen. The National Police force, under the direction of the Queen has established martial law and has begun a hunt for the traitors.
