[Eritei]

Rose was flying to the capital of Sharifistan, a place she didn't know the most about. She had gotten the opportunity when they announced that they were having their Eid celebrations. Rose hadn't been to any celebrations in a while, and all the royal ones in Eritei were starting to get a little pale for her. So, when the opportunity came up for her to finally spend some time alone, she took it. Luckily, her husband was fine with taking care of the kids, and the duties of state, so she was free from all those troubles. She looked out the window, only seeing the vast sky below, something settling to her.

"Ver Imperia," a voice said, startling her a little. She looked back to see it was one of the Royal Guards, standing there in the doorway.

"We'll be starting our decent soon, I suggest you get ready," he said. Without saying anything, he exited her room. She slumped back down into her seat, sighing a little to herself. She got up from her seat and headed to a little changing room she had on the plane. She changed from her more casual clothing, if you could even call it casual, to something more fitting not only for the environment, but also something more presentable.

---

When the plane landed, the Royal Guard and her servants helped her carry her luggage off, which admittedly wasn't too much. She had to cover her eyes on her way into the airport, as she had left her sunglasses in her suitcase. She didn't expect a large gathering or anything, she really didn't want that here, but she knew it might be inevitable.

Seeing Rose at the airport and realising she was there for the festivities, Manta and Angel immediately went to say hello and asked where she was from.

Seeing Manta and Angel come to her was somewhat of a relief, she was missing some real conversation from someone different recently. She met the two half way, her guards skeptical, but not worried.

"Hi! Nice to meet you too. I'm from Eritei, yourselves?" She said, attempting to hid her cockney accent, but only succeeding in making it sound like a hybrid between and English and Cockney accent.

They were nervous at first as the guards stood in the background, but Angel replied heartily “I’m Angel and this is my brother Manta, we’re from the Cod Region. My brother here is the heir to the throne.”

“I don’t believe I’ve heard of your nation, please tell me about it.” Manta chips in shyly

Rose smiled at the carefulness of the two, she completely understood, people in sunglasses with swords can sometimes seem threatening, but she's always been a little afraid of them too.

"Well, it's good to meet both of you. I'm Rose, Empress of Eritei.
Hmm, a little bit about Eritei. Well, the simplest way to explain it is that it's even more royalist than Britain, and as a British woman, I would know. We're in Southern Europe, and there's not much before I enter the realm of politics. Past that, it's a beautiful place, Rome and Milan are beautiful, and the cultures amazing. Might I ask the same about the Cod Region?"

“Please excuse my brother, he may come across as rude but he is just shy and probably daydreaming.” Angel replied sweetly, “The Cod Region is ruled by our father, Duke Salmon. It’s a small nation along the coast in the east of the New world. Think of it as A monarchy that truly works for its citizens. When our father introduced an elected council, the people rioted because they loved him so much” Manta whispers into Angel’s ear, she laughs and mutters something sounding like a prayer

Rose smiles again. "Oh please, I don't mind your brothers comments. We're all here to get away from normal life anyway. Though, don't let anyone know I said that. Your father sounds like a nice man, personally, I can't say about creating democracy however, only really defending it." Rose looked off into the distance, somewhat missing the little prayer, but also kind of picking it up, not recognizing the parts she could catch.

“Oh, his comments weren’t about you! Manta is a lovely man when you get to know him, though it takes a while for him to open up. That’s why I travel with him as a familiar face!” Angel quickly adds

"Oh! My apologies, I think the years of being Empress have effected my social skills. Oh well, no matter, your brother does seem like a lovely man as well." Rose looks outside again, looking for her ride to the hotel that she's booked. When she see's the car, she looks back at Angel and Manta. "Do you two need a ride? I'd be happy to bring you where you need to go," she says with a smile.

"One more close to the embassies. The only real way I could come is if I was able to keep close contact with home, in case anything came up. It's a nice place. Do you need a ride? It wouldn't be a hassle for us."

“We also booked one only a short walk away from the embassies too, there is ever the chance we may be in the same hotel! In any case, we will graciously accept your offer of transport!” Angel cheerfully replies “My brother is even more out of it than normal, he could do with a rest,” Manta heard his name and seems curious what was said immediately

"Then please, come with me," Rose said. When she started walking, the guards closely followed, but allowed enough space for both Angel and Manta to stay near Rose. She led them to a black limo, where a guard stepped in front of her and opened the door, standing perfectly still for their Empress. She nodded to the guard, then let Angel and Manta get into the car first, then she followed. The guards then all got into a separate car, before both drove off towards the hotel that Rose had booked.

On the way, Rose looked at the two siblings, she had some questions, but she was never one to get too personal with strangers, or even with other royalty for that matter. "So, what brings you to Sharifistani?" She asked the two.

“Most likely the same as you, a mixture of wanting to get away and have a bit of fun.” Angel says.
“Ask away, I know have questions!” Angel also says, studying Rose as if to sense her thoughts

“Ask away, I know have questions!”

"Well, I couldn't help but notice the prayer you said back in the airport. I know I'm Catholic, however I couldn't recognize the prayer. What religion do you follow? If you don't mind me asking."

“It’s called Codism, it’s pretty much exclusive to our nation” Manta replies, Angel looking surprised, as she was ready to answer that for him

"I've also noticed Manta's been awful silent. If you don't mind me asking, again, is it social anxiety? If so I totally understand, coming into this role at my young age really did a number on myself."

Manta shakes slightly, Angel puts her hand on his knee in reassurance.
“Nobody really knows, he’s always been quiet, though he is one of our nations best logicians, I guess you could say there is a method to his metaphorical madness” Angel replies quickly

“Nobody really knows, he’s always been quiet, though he is one of our nations best logicians, I guess you could say there is a method to his proverbial madness

"Well, the smartest people are usually the quietest, and something I could never understand myself." Rose looked to Manta before resuming. "And the smartest people make for amazing leaders." She paused for a second before resuming. "I forgot to ask about Codism! My mind is jumping everywhere you must forgive me."

“Codism is a fairly unique faith,” Angel explains “It has no fixed worship sites and no fixed prayers or times of worship. It’s most unique feature is that one can be a Codist and part of another religion while respecting them both evenly”

"I have never heard of a religion like that. I'd think there'd be some complications believing in two religions, but I can't be the one to judge that."

Manta hands a small shiny object to Angel, she chuckles “Dad would insist!” “Oh, sorry forgive me.” It’s surprisingly simple when you work it out, Codism is all about openness!”

"Ah! I see. I've honestly wished that it would be that easy to be open in today's society, however being open to other people is the gift that keeps on giving. I wish other people would see it that way however."

“Indeed!” “So, our Dad has a thing for flag pins, so we always carry a few with us” Angel explains “Since you have been so friendly, here is a small pin of our national flag!”
She smiles, “I know it’s random, but our flag is a symbol of unity within our nation.”
