Janice Spencer of Semparia would step off the plane, carrying a long, thin case glancing around.As her foot touched the ground, flanked by four guards. She stepped into a simple black SUV, and began to make their way to their hotel where they would be staying. Upon arrival, after dropping off her luggage she drove to the Palace itself, taking several detours to view the sights of the city. Upon arrival, they took some seats in front of the palace with portable chairs, simply waiting until the event would start.

The royal delegate, the first to arrive is from Semparia."We wish you a very happy welcome to the event.We hope you enjoy your stay",utters the guards.Many other guests were either busy chatting, or walking around, socializing the event.While the Queen is not in sight, her fiance, David Kross was busy wandering and maming sure everything's right, as planned.He would take note of the arrival of the first royal delegate."Greetings, Your Majesty, I am David Kross, dearest fiance of Her Majesty, Catherine I.I hope that there is no shyness in you to explore on what we had here.We have a bar corner that serves controlled amount of drinks and also, by special permissions, access to the private balcony", he portrayed a respectful bow to the Queen and her delegate.

“Ah thank you, it is a pleasure to meet you.” She’d say, returning a bow. “Such a lovely event, and I’m glad to be out here.” She’d set the small case down, straightening out, “So what do you plan on doing today for the event?”

by **Icadias** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 11:22 pm

"Well, if according to plan, we will all be first celebrated with a short freetime before the marriage ceremony, and of course, the dance is a top priority, and aswell, everyone is allowed to do as they please in a controlled manner.Gift handling are also allowed during this time, and as so, I hope that the presents can be gifted at the rightful and lovely time".He took a moment to pause,continuing after a few seconds."But there is one thing that the specified delegates of this event can do;a trip to the northern forest winter areas with me and Her Majesty.I believe the winter forests of Icadias has much pleasure and suprises to be delighted by its visitors.The enchanting skies,animals and the trees had always delighted my dear wife".

Deep down aswell, even though not portrayed, he was quite anxious of how long he has to wait for his wife to be ready.As Queen;she is always accustomed to the most beautiful and elegant dresses available, thus taking a lot of time;and making him nervous in return."I just want to say Your Majesty that my dear wife can be a bit intrigued when it comes to political affairs;it's just her, and I don't want her to be like that today.Today, is the day she's free,like a young child".

David seems to took notice of the luggage brought by the Queen.He already knew it was the gifts, but not knowing what it is makes it more memorable to wait for the revelation."I, in honour of my dearest wife and myself would like to express our gratitudes for the beautiful and elegant gifts that had been brought

After a long trip, the Crown Prince's flight is arriving at the airport in Stockholm. This is one of the first negotiations that Roger II has done on his own but because of certain reasons... it is necessary. He steps off the plane quickly and surprisingly unnoticed. He brings with him multiple gifts, all said to be extremely necessary to bring according to his father. Roger gets in a limousine and heads towards his hotel.

Meanwhile,the Queen's two younger sisters, Juliana and Emma were, as usual busy socialising with the guests that had arrived at such a large amount and pace."I thank you for your kind wishes and hopes for my sister's marriage.I loved my sister very much, and this day shall be the best she'll have",utters Crown Princess Juliana,Heir Apparent of her sister and the youngest sister of the latter.She was plastered with a very beautiful smile and delight for that very day;she just couldn't contain it.Meanwhile, Emma, who was thankfully, granted a holiday from work was really into talking about, mostly the current trends and gossips alike.Being a highly social person, she has no problem in doing so.Their sole mother was also involved in the event, with the older guests.It is unsure what they're talking about, but atleast;everything is fine.

by **Semparia** » Sat Oct 20, 2018 11:38 pm

“Well, I won’t keep you occupied, I’ll explore the palace a bit.” With that, she wanders off through the palace, her four guards standing outside, with them guarding the car, and other guest’s cars, since they were there anyways.

WP Royal One was in the air, it would soon be landing in Icadias for the wedding of Queen Catherine and her fiance David Ross.

Rayford Fleming a long time pilot who had been chosen from over 500 other pilots to control WP Royal One. It was a great honour to fly the most expensive and sophisticated plane in The Confederate Empire of West Phoenicia which was owned by the royal family. His Co-Pilot beside him was getting prepared to go through the landing checklist.

The Boeing 747-8 dubbed Royal Phoenicia One was the official Aircraft for the King and the royal family of West Phoenicia. Originally intended for up to 350 passengers, it had been fully refurnished to accommodation 60-90 people in luxury, comfort and style.
The plane had separate quarters for members of the royal family, with lavish beds, bathrooms and showers and personal lounge area. As well as separate quarters for staff and support staff and the 9 cabin crew personnel who took care of the needs of the high class passengesr; the plane included a state of the art kitchen built in offering food and beverages 24hours a day.
In the middle of the plane was the conference area, where the royal family could entertain heads of states and other dignitaries in professional surrounding with all its added luxuries and comforts of home.

It was a small contingent reroute to Icadias; Emperor Glenton Gryphon-Bush II along with;

* Empress Angelique Gryphon-Bush, 1st Wife of Emperor
• Prince Glenton Gryphon-Bush III Philopator
• Princess Royal Arsinoe Bush II Philometar
• Jack Portland, Minister of Foreign Affairs

A number of servants, ladies-in-waiting, aides and other courtiers were also making the trip. While attending the wedding the non-invitees would be free to do as they pleased. 10 Royal Imperial Guards were present. 4 would accompany the small contingent to the wedding while two would stay with the plane and the other 4 would guard their floor at the hotel that Catherine I had reserved for them.

At present the royals were in the lounge section enjoying the flight being waited on by the planes personal aircrew.

" It's quite the scandal actually," Empress Angelique said as she worked on her needlepoint. "Fancy a queen marrying a-a commoner. It's unheard of in West Phoenicia,"she sniffed indignantly.

"And an actor at that,"her daughter Princess Arsinoe II commented, one of her ladies in waiting was arranging her hair preparing for the wedding. "I couldn't think of nothing worse. Someone from a noble house should never marry below their station."

"Their in love," the Emperor said with a twinkle in his eye as he looked over at his first wife. West Phoenicia was a polygamous nation. He had four wives, three he had married due to political alliances, but his first had been for love."

"Love should never hold precedent in a marriage. What could he possibly offer the Queen of Icadias?"

"That's why I will never marry for love. I was a king or a Prince, not some commoner who will be given a title he doesn't deserve,"Princess Arsinoe II said "His not even noble blooded."

"Different cultures different customs,"Jack Portland, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said from his seat. He had visited many nations which were all different, this would be no different. Queen Catherine is very liberal, not Conservative thinking like West Phoenicia so we must not belittle their choices and customs. It is not their fault they are a little backwards in the rights and wrongs of the world."

"It's a wedding I daresay we shall not get political, let us enjoy this wedding without the usual drama that seems to follow this family around. We shall enter in our finest attire that we are world renowned for, offer our generous gifts and play nice!" Emperor Glenton Gryphon-Bush II said.

The conversation was erupted by a voice on the intercom.

"Please prepare for landing, we will be arriving in Icadias in 10 minutes. Once we have landed cars will be waiting to escort you to the hotel."Rayford Fleming said before he returned to his duties.

Meanwhile, Catherine was busy fixing and suiting herself up with such,various outfits bought just for that wedding.Her personal maid, Angela was busy suiting the right and perfect corset on Her Majesty.She had initially herself refused to wear it, as it suffocate her in her opinion,but her mother wished for otherwise;how could Catherine resist or deny."Ma'am, this one looks perfect!", exclaims her, showing Catherine a silver corset, decorated with black coloured leaf petals.Luckily,it just fitted itself for her."Absolutely Angela, just beautiful!", Catherine just couldn't wait to start it all.From that point on, she would finally have a suitor that'll understand her and be by her side.For her, it was all never too fast, just slow and graceful.

"The guests and Mr Kross will surely be fascinated when you wear this one,Ma'am", says her as she shows Catherine an elegantly-made V-neck,combined with a bare back white coloured wedding dress.Catherine, for a split second just couldn't contain her tears as she imagines how her future husband would be really happy when he saw what she wore for the event.As much as she loved him with full honesty and love, she decided to surprise him in this one occasion, one occasion that will bond them forever."I love you, my dear", mutters her softly that even her personal maid, Angela who's behind her fixing her backside couldn't hear it.She stared at the beautifully made clock on the wall;"Just a few hours more, a few hours more, Catherine"

"Oh shit, I hope I'm not too late", Adlov thought to himself as he disembarked from the Almvoz, wearing the standard fedora and trench coat that seemed to be the standard cold weather dress of all the Communist Solidarity Party officials. Unused to the amount of press that would prove to be ubiquitous in this nation, especially at this time. Unsure of what to do, Adlov quickly gave a collective salute, must to the shock of the camera flashes, while his security maneuvered throughout the crowds of people at the tarmac. After what seemed like an eternity of clamoring through reporters and what seemed like protesters(?) he finally made it through the limousine and hurried his Foreign Minister, and closest friend, in.The driver excitedly blurted, "Mr Secretary-General, it is an honor to be driving you around our beautiful city to--", but before he could finish, Adlov interrupted him with a quick "Yes, thank you very much. Drottninggatan Strasse, if you may be so kind. And step on it."

After getting ready in his hotel room, Roger II decides that he needs to go. He runs down the stairs and gets back in the limo. The driver says "Where are we goin' chief?" Roger responds by saying "To the palace now, book it!" After reaching the palace, gets out of the car and struggles to carry all the gifts into the palace. One of the guards says to him "Sir, do you need any help with that?" The Crown Prince quickly replied with "No siree! I've got this, it would be great if you could find a place for me to put these down." Roger, after putting his stuff down, looked around the room, hoping to make tonight a great night.

Aboard the Royal DC-10 airliner that took off from New Edinburgh lies the luxury suite where the King of Folaisia, Diarmid IV, and his entourage resided in during the flight. The King is sitting on the couch facing the pristine mahogany table and the wall where the television playing the Ardrankirk Broadcasting Network News's Afternoon Report is at. On his left side is his spouse, Queen Cairistìne MacCrìsdein, who is currently talking to Kirsten McInnes, the daughter of the nation's Minister of Foreign Affairs Ewan McInnes, of whose wheelchair is positioned at her left. On his right, there is Prince Tòmachan, who is currently playing a game on his dad's tablet, and next to him is the Minister himself, leaning towards the tablet screen and helping the little Prince at the same time. As the plane continues to hum high in the sky, their excitement for attending the party seemed to dissipate almost completely.

"You know," the King said to the Queen in Scottish Gaelic, "I feel like we could've brought with us more gifts, if not better. Maybe it's not good enough."

"Oh, nonsense," the Queen replied, "It's good enough, for sure. Besides, the clothes are more important than mere rich decorations like diamonds. And even so, we got capes colored in the fashion of the Icadiasian flag, and ceremonial knives, at that. I'm sure they'll be glad to accept."

The King snickers to himself.

"Thank you, my love. I needed some reassurance of confidence."

"No problem, sweetheart. And I can't wait to get there and meet them. It will be interesting to know more about them."

"Same here."

Just then, the Prince jolted his head forward and interjected with words that makes both parents turn their heads with fright, if not also surprise.

"Watch your damn tongue, there, you wee devil," the Queen said.

"Sorry," the Prince responded.

"I'm still surprised he got that from Anndrais," the King commented and chuckled.

"It would be bad if he were to heard saying that."

"I'm pretty sure these days most people would think it's funny."

"Well, regardless, he needs to control his language, especially in front of the newlyweds," the Queen shrugged.

"Of course."

"A think it's funny," said Ewan in Scots.

"Shut up, ye cheeky bastard," the Queen said to him.

Ewan, Kirsten, and the King and Prince then laugh.

"Ye niver cease tae amaze us, dae ye, Tomachan," Kirsten said smiling.

"Never, Kirstie," replied the Prince, also smiling.

Then the intercom on the plane announced that the plane is now approaching the designated airport.

"Get ready. We're landin," said the King.

At this point, the entire lobby settled themselves for the landing. As the plane touches the runway, they brace themselves to not let them bounces tip them off, especially for Kirsten's case. Then, as the plane comes to a stop, they make their preparations to get off.

"Well, here we are," said the King, standing up.

Alexa Chung had prepared a couple of baggage as she readied herself for the trip to Icadius. Since the trip took a certain duration of time and she wanted to arrive as soon as possible, she threw in artificial light in the room as she made her hair and put makeup on. She put lipstick on as she looked on the mirror and carefully selected the choice of her clothes to be deemed appropriate. She then left the governing residence and met with her foreign affairs minister, Amanda Steen who was talking to a lower government bureaucrat and a media official. She waved at her, signaling that it was time to leave for the trip for Icadius and Amanda quickly wrapped up the conversation. They took out a plane and arrived at Icadius. A limo was hastily called for and as the ride went through, while there were not too much attention raised by the public or any media or reporters, a few snapshots from a news agency were taken as she smiled and waved.

She was greeted by a guard outside the palace. “Miss Chung, I presume?” asked the guard after she her identification and as he looked at the invitation list. She replied yes, as she and Steen was let in. She entered into the entrance and she tried to look for Queen Catherine the hostess and leader who was going to get married with David Cross. She was also anxious for the expectation of multiple guests of foreign leaders from other countries.

David Kross would notice one of the newly-arrived guests, two female guests.He was relieved after double checking that they're both are one of the special guests that he and Catherine had invited.After making his way to the guests, he introduced himself humbly."Miss, I am David Kross, fiance of the Queen.I welcome you to this great nation of Icadias.Here, we serve many delicate dishes and also, very good and top-rated sceneries aswell.As you're one of our special guests, you are free to access our private balcony upstairs, it's sure to please you with the beautiful sight.I believe you are Miss Chung from Cosmopolitan Borovan?", asks Kross while also handling out a pamphlet containing the program's schedule.

"I hope you're having a good time, Miss.This'll not only be a day for me and my fiancee to remember, but for all of us aswell"

Outside of the palace, a couple of limousines lined themselves up and let their engines die down. As the car doors open, NISB agents walk out, shut their respective doors, and make their way towards the doors that let the King and his entourage to step out of. As the delegation stood in the fresh air, their limousines drove off to a convenient parking spot, and let the flash and clicks of cameras sound out into their ears.

"Everyone ready," the King asked with the accent visible, "Then let's go."

The delegation then walked towards the doors of the palace. Aside from the agents escorting them, the first people to lead this alluring display were Kirsten and Ewan, the latter of whom was pushing the wheelchair. Then behind them were the King and Queen, with the little Prince holding the hand of his mother.

"Now remember," said the Queen, leaning to the Prince, "if I hear one profane word come out of your wee mouth during the party, it's the limousine for the rest of the event. We clear?"

"Yes, mom," the Prince replied almost aggravatingly.

"Good. Then, let's have fun, shall we?"

As the delegation went to the front of the palace, they were stopped by a guard. After telling each of their names they went in and let themselves immerse in this foreign and unique atmosphere of a party.

Interdimensional travel is certainly a useful part of his power set, especially when visiting dignitaries of other worlds. Heavenly Emperor Cheonsa flew to the palace with another Amenrian figure, this time the Matriarch of the Miao Vampire Coven, Camille Miao, also known as Miao Tianshu. With a pair of feathered wings, one black and one white, it was difficult to miss him. As a show of goodwill, he folded his wings upon landing with the lady in the Icadian palace. Some nearby guards surrounded the duo, pointing their weapons at them. He simply raised both hands and dismissed his wings.

"Relax, it's me. Cheonsa of Amenria, here with my umm..." He seemed to be at a lost for words when she cut him in. "Friend. I'm his friend. Miao Tianshu, Matriarch of the Miao Coven, a Ramadhan Family subsidiary."

Catherine would be standing just straight, facing the windows of her bedroom.It's the day for her, the day, the night of the day."How long do we have until the ceremony begins?Is the priest here?", asks her towards her personal maid."Not very much left Ma'am, 2 hours still.Do not worry, Ma'am,it'll all be fine", assures Angela.She was very excited aswell.Not only she was the personal maid of the Queen, but she was to dress the Queen for her marriage aswell.After several minutes of silence, Catherine finally took a deep breath and exclaimed,"I'm ready now, Angela.Have the palace guards announce to the guests, the declaration event will happen shortly.I have to see my mother".Angela obediently followed her orders, while Catherine makes her way out in her beautiful dress to see her mother, for a final assurance and to express how happy she is for tonight.

Amidst all the people and also the harmonious music playing in the background, David's hearing was never down.He hurriedly turned his attention towards the source of the voice."I believe you asked for one of these, and I believe you are Crown Prince Roger II of The Liamese Empire?Welcome then, Your Highness.I am Dsvid Kross, fiance of the Queen".He proceeded to hand one of the pamphlets towards the Prince, there weren't much left in his hands."I hope that you're not feeling anything unbecoming here as this day is all about welcoming a new bond & relationship".Kross has always been an expert in poetic talking due to his acting career, and also to charm his future sit.Catherine does sure loves intellectual and humble people.And Kross got the best of her, and this is the day.

"Ah yes, it is I, Roger II, Crown Prince of the Liamese Empire and King of Israel." He takes the pamphlet and thanks Mr. Kross for it. "Of course I am not planning anything unbecoming. What on earth would give you that idea?" It is visible that the Crown Prince is a little suprised and angry about that statement.

“That is correct, Mr. Kross. I appreciate the welcome, all of this sounds delightful to hear and I am of no doubt that we will have a fine time here,” Alexa said as she received the pamphlet. She then tried to find the most appropriate greeting, almost began to shook hands, hesitated and decided to instead bowed. Her foreign affairs minister however shook hands. “The event must be a special occasion for you and Queen Catherine,” she folded her hands while smiling. “I hope that she has made a good choice for someone to be with.”

by **Folaisia** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 1:35 am

Meanwhile, as the King motions himself to where David Kross is for the pamphlets, the entourage waits and observes the party. After the King hands out the pamphlets to the entourage, he tells them to disperse among themselves.

********

The King and Queen heads off to David Kross, holding hands to accompany each other. As they walk up to him and the Liamese Crown Prince, they stare with much pleasure, waiting for the latter to finish his conversation.

********

Ewan and Kirsten roam around the lobby for someone, some people, or somewhere that would pique their interest. Moving into the crowd, the guests at the party move themselves out of their way, giving them a bit more scope to search.

********

At his own discretion, Prince Tomachan searches for persons of his age to play with. Even though excited, he still remembers the words that his mother told him. Within moments, he spots several kids sitting on the couch, all to themselves, and walks up to them.
