Nattia wrote:The Provisional Council of State considered the foreign aid deal of Saint Asperes and decided fairly quickly that they would accept the deal of the billions and the training and certainly the fighter jets. It would mark a new flooding of wealth into the nation’s treasury and go to the reconstruction efforts of the many planned projects. At the suggestion of Koski, a new Provisional Ministry of Public Works was formed in order to organize, budget and record the many projects that would need to go on across the country.
The Provisional Council then turned their attention to the question of the monarchy. The greatest question the Royalists had ignored throughout the fighting days had been on who would actually sit the throne. The House of Bentheim-Steinfurt had ruled for over a hundred and twenty years, but had completely died out at the violent hands of Leo Pekkarinen. So it was decided that they would select a new monarch, with a new House. But who to choose.
Some had suggested a native Nattian— but perhaps to some surprise, no one who might have been suitable wanted the job. Besides, the Triumvirate, worried about a new Pekkarinen who might try to seize power didn’t want a rival from within the realm. Instead it was agreed that a foreign noble should be selected— one who was noble or royal, to appease the Royalists— while also not a threat to the new order of things. And, it was agreed a well chosen king would secure new alliances and friendly relations with other monarchies.
This still left the actual matter of choosing. Saint Asperes and Genes both had already thrown their proverbial hats in. To Saint Asperes a message was sent.The Provisional Council is willing to consider a member of the House of Castenac for the throne. We ask that a profile of these most esteemed of noble blood be sent so that we may have more details in our consideration.
To Ambassador Moresco, the Provisional Council said,
“We are greatly honored to have you here in Nattia, your lordship, and we thank your king for his continued humanitarian assistance in Nattia. We too hope we may work well together in the future, and we are willing to consider His Majesty’s grandsons for the throne. We ask that a profile of these most esteemed of noble blood be sent so that we may have more details in our consideration.”

This inquiry was shaped around what the Provisional Council thought would be important in a new monarch. They wanted someone noble, preferably a man, neither too old or too young, not set to inherit another kingdom, and who would adopt Nattian values and name. Marriage, children, religion and the rest could be negotiated on it was felt.
As for Inha and Raita, they thanked Nataye for his visit, but made no promises, save that the new monarch should be the one who could bring the greatest prosperity to the new kingdom. As far as they were concerned, this throne was best suited for whoever could pay them the most for it while also being an easily managed puppet of the Triumvirate.
