Aureumterrese-Eclisian Imperial Wedding [IC/OPEN]

[Eclius]

OOC
Smaragdus Islands Imperial Villa

Inside the imperial villa on the Smaragdus Islands not far from Sicily, imperial attendants and server droids were quite busy. The day after was set to be the wedding between Gnaeus Aemilius Fuscus, the only son to one of the most powerful families of Eclius, and Empress Lisette of Aureumterra. The couple was set to have their wedding ceremony held in the north garden area of the villa, garden filled with exotic botanical treasures from Exodian Islands to Steppe Khanate. The guests were also invited to a dinner and ball room dance event set inside the villa. The Smaragdus Villa was considered to be one of the marvels of Eclisian science, constructed on an completely artificial island, Smaragdus Villa took a more high-tech and contemporary approach to its design and interior decorations. Equipped with Eclius' latest electronic A.I. information system and other smart assistant systems, it set to reflect Imperium's technological advancement and Eclius' contribution to modern science. Unlike all the other villas, Smaragdus was accessible only through air and sea. NFF Ascension, one of Eclius' mighty flying fortresses, was docked above the villa, and set to act as the headquarter of Praetorian Guards and Fatherland Security, which overlooked the security of the guests. Measures were also taken to prevent potential assassination attempts against the guests by agents sent from certain nations (OOC: Atkemri and Gagium).

"<<GUESTS RECOGNIZED, RAINES, CID AND CASTAMIR, SABIN OF DANCERIA>>" the mechanical voice announced as the two Dancerians entered in, one was a cool headed and dark haired ambassador, with a stocky and scruffy cohort, who cringed beneath the excessive security of the event. "Sheesh, hard to believe they parked a spaceship over an island for a wedding." the blond would grumble. "This is a high priority event between two technologically advanced nation-states." the Ambassador would calmly note "If they have the budget for it, they can show off."
The two lingered in the courtyard until the other guests arrived, or someone would guide them to the official area where the ceremony was being conducted.

"GUESTS RECOGNIZED: CRASSUS VON HOHENZOLLERN-JAGELLION, LOUISE VON WITTELSBACH, ERIKA VON SCARNHORST. WELCOME.", a mechanical voice announced. A tall man wearing a Feldbluse entered, his hands entwined with that of a young, blonde woman. Behind them a young girl, around 16 or 17, entered, dressed in the same manner as the man.
Crassus looked up and chuckled. "Nice bellhops they have."
Louise smiled. "Well, dear, today's Lisette's big day..." Her smile faded a little. "You still like her, do you?"
Crassus raised an eyebrow. "As a friend? Maybe. Romantically, no." He closed his eyes for a minute.
"'So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows/ As my lady o'er her fellows shows.' Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. Act 1, scene 5."
Louise grinned. "Oh, you flatterer!"

Unlike the two lovers beside her, Erika was silent. She scanned the courtyard in a cool, detached manner.
One could very well get the idea that she was a soldier of the Grenzebattaillons watching the border, not the 17 year-old niece of Crassus.

[Steppe Khanate]

GUEST RECOGNIZED: KHAIDU KHAN, KHUNBISH KHAN, AZEN GRAYA a mechanical voice said to the trio that walked into the courtyard of the futuristic Imperial Villa. Khaidu, the constitutional monarch of the Steppe Khanate was accompanied by his sister, Khunbish, and Lieutenant Council Leader Azen Graya. The massive amount of security at the event was not surprising, as it was a gathering of some of the most powerful figures in international politics. The Khanate, being diplomatically close to both Aureumterra and Eclius, was nothing short of obliged to send representatives at the event. They waited for an attendant or official to escort them into the venue of the main event.

[Eclius]

Fuscus Familial Villa, not far from Smaragdus Island

Gnaeus was getting prepared inside his familial villa. The most luxurious one in the coastal areas. Gnaeus put on a new set of wedding attires hand crafted and designed by the top designers of Eminence. And under his parents' instructions Gnaeus carefully memorized the speeches and wedding procedures. One of such was a wedding announcement made by a priest from PPC, the Gnaeus' family was not familiar with religious marriage, but per Lisette's request, they decided to make adjustments to accommodate some religious themes. Meanwhile, Tiberia gathered with her Inner Senate in an emergency meeting hours before the wedding. They aimed to set out a proper "bride wealth" (more on the diplomatic scale) to Aureumterra side from the one already prepared by Gnaeus' family.

[Aureumterra]

Smargdus Island
A motorcade pulled up behind the luxurious Imperial Villa. In the middle was a sleek limousine with a golden finish, the hood had two flags on it, one of Aureumterra and the other of Eclius. Inside, Empress Lisette sat with her brother, Prince Åke, and her mother, Queen Mother Annika. It was the big day she had been excited for a long time.

“Are you ready Liz?” Åke asked

“Yes, we should get going” Lisette replied

An attendant opened the doors of the limousine, as the Aureumterrese guards around her saluted when she stepped out. Right now, she was wearing a modest dress, with high heels and a skirt bottom. She was followed by her family as she entered the villa and went straight to her changing room, where she would put on a wedding gown. She waited to be informed of Gnaeus’ arrival.

Smargdus Island
Archbishop Fredrick von Mucke of Konigsberg, known as 'Red Priest' for the flamethrower he kept under his altar, was on the verge of panic.
During his career as a clergyman he had officiated funerals, units mustering in, units mustering out, and the beginnings of major operations. But he had never, ever officiated a wedding. He flipped madly though his bible, bookmarking important passages, and was so engrossed in his preparations that he ran face first into Gneaus. His notes went flying everywhere.
After taking a moment to recover he looked up.
"What the fu-Oh shit, sorry sir." With that he bent over and began to pick up his notes.

[Danceria]

"Hmmm..." Cid would ponder for a moment, before turning to his associate. "Sabin, I do believe that the reception is taking place right now, in this garden, rather than an official hall..." the Ambassador would note. "Perhaps it would be prudent of us to know the allies of Ecilus and Aureumterra." he would gesture subtly to the Steppe and Prusso-Polish delegations, "You'll to the Prussians-" "Really?" Sabin would interrupt. "Look, I know this is my first diplomatic visit and all, but even I know of the Prussian's discipline...the teen girl acts like a bloody Pathfinder scout or a bodygaurd!" the Ambassador would retract and consider his words carefully, before coyly and coolly grinning. "You're right. I do believe you and the good Khan would have more in common. I wouldn't want your first wedding to be you loosing to some girl half your size." he would chuckle, before leaving Sabin in a fuming and pallid demeanor.

-Those of Prussia-

"Ihre kaiserlichen und königlichen Majestäten?" a voice would ask, gently emphasizing consonants, and allowing a breathy caress of harder constants, and pronouncing the vowels in an almost melodious manner. A telltale sign of a Dancerian speaker. Belonging to the voice was a well dressed dark haired man, who would bow before the company. "Ich bin Cid Raines, großer Botschafter von Danzeria, demütig im Dienste Eurer Gnaden. Mögen die Großen Götter in diesen Hallen Fröhlichkeit und Sicherheit gewähren." When allowed to rise again, he would smile gently. "I would like to apologize firstly if my German is a bit rusty."

-The Man of the Steppes-

Where Cid excelled in knowledge of language, culture, and general courtly manner, Sabin excelled in awkward but genuine conversation. He had heard briefly of these Steppe peoples, those who still rode wild and free on the open land and under sky, much like the Rohirrim and the Xaelan Nomads of Azim near Khand. They were a simple, and forthright people. So with a bit of a nonchalant inching towards the Steppese entourage, Sabin gave a simple. "Hello."

[The Liamese Empire]

GUEST RECOGNIZED: SUPREME EMPEROR ROGER a mechanical voice said as Roger walked into the futuristic manor. Supreme Emperor Roger, Emperor of the Liamese Empire walked in alone. His wife would usually have accompanied him but this time she had a cold and couldn't make it. All around him he saw security guards stationed and thought to himself Damn, it's going to be a pain to give my gift to the groom. Roger had never really been close to either of the nations but he thought this was his chance to change that. He stood patiently for the main event.

Smaragdus Islands

GUESTS RECOGNIZED LUCKY AND CAREN WELLS Lucky and Caren Wells walked into the manor. Lucky looked very unhappy about the whole thing, while Caren looked quite the opposite. Caren nudged Lucky with her elbow "Cheer up Lucky, how would you feel if someone looked like you do at our wedding?" Lucky nudged Caren back "I would be fine because I'm no tyrant." Caren smiled softly at her husband as she nudged him again "You are when it comes to my budgeting." Lucky laughed "700,000 in a month is not normal. You seem to forget that most of the money in our shared bank account is mine." The two laughed off their talk as they moved towards the bride and groom to give their gift.

[Prussian Polish Commonwealth]

Crassus seemed taken slightly aback, while Louise smiled. "It's passable; I've heard worse while visiting schools in the colonies."
Crassus regained his composure. "As my wife said, nothing wrong with your German." He smiled as well. "In any case, I'm Crassus, this is my wife, Louise."
A cough came from behind, and the young girl from before came up, hob-nailed boots ringing on the floor. "Kaiser, is he bothering you?"
Crassus sighed. "Quite the oppisite, Erika. Don't cause an incident."
Erika nodded, her face blank. She pivoted and went back to her position by a column.
Crassus turned back to Cid. "Apologies; that was my niece."

[Steppe Khanate]

Where Cid excelled in knowledge of language, culture, and general courtly manner, Sabin excelled in awkward but genuine conversation. He had heard briefly of these Steppe peoples, those who still rode wild and free on the open land and under sky, much like the Rohirrim and the Xaelan Nomads of Azim near Khand. They were a simple, and forthright people. So with a bit of a nonchalant inching towards the Steppese entourage, Sabin gave a simple. “Hello."

“Hello” Khaidu replied to Sabin

“You people are from… Danceria?” He asked, while glancing at the other person who came with him, who was conversing with Crassus and his wife.

Lieutenant Council Leader Azen Graya looked up at the Dancerian representative. He smiled politely.
“Hello, I am Azen Graya, Lieutenant Council Leader of the Steppe. In was you’re wondering what that is, it’s equivalent to Vice President, Council Leader Raroko Khakjaida unfortunately could not attend personally, as he’s on the campaign trail for a second term. Pleasure to meet you” Azen replied.

[Nyevzky]

GUEST RECOGNIZED: AGUSTINA AXULIANA NIDRAPOV AND ROBERTO FÜRST FROM ARGENTINA.
Has mentioned a mechanical voice. Later a woman with a cold and young appearance, with a light blue business suit over a white business shirt, enters accompanied by a man with a rigid and serious appearance, he wore a military uniform in brown, with black leather boots, several platinum medals on his torso and a bent neck of black, finally his appearance ended with a white skin, light eyes and a brown cap with some black stripes and an argentine shield made of platinum, located in the center of the gala cap. The appearance of the man so that it is not difficult to identify who was the Argentine General.

Upon entering, both observe several representatives from other countries and instantly observe them with a serious look of respect towards them. The Argentines wanted to show an image of discipline but also of respect for those present.None could avoid being curious about the people present, however they should keep their composure.

[A m e n r i a]

Amenrians are known to be dramatic. In combat, they're the ones most likely to charge forward, with battle cries and explosions. Though this day is supposed to be a peaceful one, that doesn't mean the Asian representative, one of the Heavenly Empresses can't make an extravagant entrance. And Somi did just that.

An aicraft, roughly the size of a fighter jet, zoomed through Aureumterrese skies. When it was getting near the artificial island the wedding was going to be held, a figure was seen ejected from the cockpit. As the figure got closer to the ground, it became clearer who this was - Heavenly Empress Somi, second wife of Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa and the only human in the imperial family. She did tricks as she was falling, from backflips to spins and other fantastic moves. She then pulled the string attached to the bag she was wearing, causing a parachute to open and land her safely on the ground. She put her parachute away and casually walked into the villa, responding to stares at her with a simple "What? Never seen an empress use a parachute before?"

GUEST RECOGNIZED: JEON SOMI OF AMENRIA. WELCOME.

[Anaxus]

"GUEST RECOGNIZED: Lord Anaxus. WELCOME.", of course, Anaxus wasn't actually here, his sheer size alone would cause the orbits of the celestial bodies in this solar system to go haywire. A sentient mechanoid body would have also ruined his chances to mix with the natives. No, he had simply arrived in the convenient form of a Holomatter Avatar, essentially a solid and tangible hologram. Currently, he had the guise of a young earth male of average height, approximately mid-thirties and in a plain black suit. Overall this form, combined with a head of blonde hair and a pair of dark-tinted sunglasses, was almost completely nondescript. He passed into the villa unopposed, taking in the sight of the delegations from other nations. "Pathetic piles of slag, I don't know why I torture myself by coming to these organic events." thought Anaxus. The answer was to catalog the culture and society of different organic races, before their inevitable destruction by his hand. What better a way to do so than by attending a wedding of some minor nobles?

He gazed at who was currently here, his cybernetic optics giving readouts on what could be called his Heads Up Display. A man, probably a ruler in a Prussian uniform, what was likely his partner, and a younger relative(?) who looked like some sort of minor-ranked military officer. What a Prussian was, Anaxus had no idea whatsoever. A few people who looked like nomads on account of their odd dress. There were a few other national leaders here but they were of no interest to Anaxus...yet. Slowly he crept upon the 'ruler', perhaps he would be capable of serving Anaxus for a while...as a test subject; "Excuse me Sir, but I don't believe we're acquainted. May I ask who you are?" Little did the person whom the question was addressed to know, the eyes of Anaxus' holomatter avatar were recording him.

Prussian Polish Commonwealth

[Latin American Republics]

"GUEST RECOGNIZED: AZUL MARQUÉZ. WELCOME.",
Azul Marquéz, the young and intelligent president of EARL. Had arrived by helicopter to the island and had already entered the imperial village, she wore a formal suit of a black color with some silver prints. She was excited at the same time a little scared, since she had never had contact with the nation before and possibly unknown the other guests. But she was willing to participate in the wedding and meet new people, and also be able to build better relationships for the Latin people.
When she arriving at the Garden, she observe that there were from presidents to emperors, she even saw landing a spaceship (which she assumed was from Danceria).

Nevertheless, the landscape of the garden of Eclius was very remarkable, was very well taken care of. Because she didn't know practically nobody, she stayed watching the garden.

[P a m p a n g a]

"GUEST RECOGNIZED: MARC DAVID T. CUERPO. WELCOME.", a mechanical voice announced as a man in a white military uniform and a woman in a baro't saya enter.

"High Comrade Marc...I mean Marc, why me? Why not invite one of your Generals or Advisers?" Asked the woman.

"Well why not? I needed someone to come with me who i can chat with. Plus, i needed someone as smart and intelligent as you to translate and help in case i don't understand what the person is talking about. And your a good friend to me, i wanted to bring you to one of my trips as a present." Replied Marc.

"Well that's sweet Marc, but i never knew you considered me as a friend." Said the woman.

"Andrea..we've known each other for almost 11 years now. And you do still remember that you were my first crush?" Said Marc trying to hide his affections.

"Yeah Yeah dork i know." She gives Marc a slight punch.

"We should probably go inside now, but we should be care since some of the people here did try to kill you." Said Andrea.

"Yeah Yeah...You go ahead first i'll catch up later. Just wanna stay here awhile and watch the view." Said Marc.

As Andrea walks away to mingle with the other guest, Marc pulls out a ring from his pocket.

"Maybe today i'll finally give it to her....maybe"

He returns the ring back to his pocket and joins the Andrea and the other guest.

[United Islands of Polis]

GUESTS RECOGNIZED: JOHN NIKOLAI GREYHOUND, CHRISTIAN GREYHOUND, MAGNUS JAMES LINDHALLEN. WELCOME

As the trio stepped off the helicopter, they were treated to a close up look of the area, just before the Battleship escorting them had to stop they could see the island and all of its rich glamour and extensive security details, such is the flying fortress above it which Christian openly criticized on the command bridge on how it ruined the look of the palace.

All three were in their respective dress blue uniforms which had the proper representations of their ranks and units.

Premier Greyhound wore a dark blue uniform adorned with 4 rows of ribbons amd 3 medals signifying he was at one point an active service member.

Major Lindhallen wore a black uniform adorned with 6 rows of ribbons and 7 medals, signifying he was of the Spartan Unit in charge of protecting the Premier, but he was here as a friend.

Christian's was a normal shade of blue with 6 ribbons and 1 medal, meaning he was from the Junior Cadets Program for secondary educational institutions.

Removing his peaked cap, Premier Greyhound looked around to see many foreign heads of states and dignitaries "Just like a normal day."

"I'd rather wear a normal suit than be in this." Christian said as he brushed the side if his head to fix the strands of hair that got out of his beret.

"You know that our culture dictates we be dressed in this for formal STATE occasions." Major Lindhallen said as he looked at his watch, he didn't really like going to such events but his entire unit told him to go or else they'd lock him in storage until the next war came around.

"Fine." Christian said, defeated by culture and doctrine.

"Come along you two, let's go." Premier Greyhound said as he placed the peaked cap back on.

Mingling into the crowd, they made their way almost into the center when the Premier told someone "Good day, you must be?"

[P a m p a n g a]

"Good day, you must be?"

"Marc Cuerpo, Supremo of Pampanga. Its nice to make your acquaintance....uhh" As Marc offers his hand for a handshake a moment of awkwardness happens.

"Premier Grayhound." Whispers Andrea to Marc's ear from his back.

"Premier Grayhound! From Polis i presume?" Ask's Marc.

[Eclius]

Smaragdus Villa

Gnaeus and his parents arrived to the villa through choppers. Soon as they arrived and confirmed their identities with the security droids, Gnaeus' parents quickly approached some of the foreign diplomats for some casual conversation. Meanwhile, Gnaeus escaped to a bathroom stall, trying to memorize the steps and a speech that was written by Department of Foreign Affairs as a diplomatic mean. In a way, he rather have preferred a more casual wedding, with only close family relatives and friends instead of foreign politicians and "friends" to his parents that he never even met before. Meanwhile, an attendant led the guests into the back garden, where they would be seated and the ceremony would take place soon after. Moments later, Gnaeus calmed down a bit, he went out the bathroom stall and went to Lisette. "Your maje...Lisette, are you....prepared for this?" He asked, nervously, "I didn't quite expect this many people...mostly...foreign leaders...not that I've never met them before. I know quite a handful through my parents, mostly Aureumterrese officials, I know several of them". He started to stutter again, not knowing what he was saying. Suddenly, he took out a small yellow pill and gulped it down with champagne in front of Lisette (which Gnaeus always remembered as the biggest shame of his life). It was the medication that his doctor has prescribed for anxiety.

[A m e n r i a]

Somi was led to the palace garden, where the wedding itself will be held. She took a little stroll around, enjoying the weather and taking in the sights of the plants and decorations. Suddenly, an Eclisian couple approached her and greeted her. "Ah hello, there." she responded. Since the couple arrived with the groom, she assumed that they were important figures. She extended her right hand towards them and smiled, prompting a handshake. "Heavenly Empress Somi of the Empire of Amenria, pleased to make your acquaintance."

[Waldmark-Gnadenstein]

His Serene Highness, Hereditary Prince Conrad of Waldmark Gnadenstein, her Highness Countess Fredericke of Hartstein, Gertrude von Schafburg and Eduard von Hengst recognized.

The four Waldmarkers entered the party as one, shoulder to shoulder. The Hereditary Prince dressed his civilian clothes, although at home he preferred his uniform for formal occasions. On the young man's arm was his date, the Countess of Hartstein. Rumor had it, that the Sovereign Prince had invited the daughter of his tennis partner on his son's behalf, in an attempt to set them up.

Next to them was Gertrude von Schafburg, a noblewoman and rising politician, standing in for her father, the foreign minister. The man she was with, was her current boyfriend, Eduard von Hengst.

After scanning the room, Conrad turned to Gertrude. "Gerti, shall we divide and conquer?" he said with a smile. Von Schafsburg nodded and went to the left. The Prince escorted the Countess to the right, where a group of people were already in conversation.

[United Islands of Polis]

"Good day, you must be?"

"Marc Cuerpo, Supremo of Pampanga. Its nice to make your acquaintance....uhh" As Marc offers his hand for a handshake a moment of awkwardness happens.

"Premier Grayhound." Whispers Andrea to Marc's ear from his back.

"Premier Grayhound! From Polis i presume?" Ask's Marc.

"Indeed so Mr. Cuerpo." Premier Greyhound said as he shook the extended hand.

Seeing as 2 of his companions were in the background getting some form of refreshment perhaps, he decided that it was only right to introduce them to the man.

"May I introduce Major Magnus James Lindhallen and my nephew, Cadet Lieutenant Christian Greyhound." Premier Greyhound introduced them as he introduced the 2.

"An honor to meet you sir." Major Lindhallen said in a stern but welcoming tone as he extended his hand.

"Uh, hello Mr. Cuerpo." Christ in said in a slightly nervous tone as he extended his hand as well.
