Buckminhum Palace, Lownfolk, United Kingdom of Galimencia
6th November, 2021

"Cant you understand this, damn it!" The handsome young man shouted at the security personnel who stood in front of him. Shaking with anger and almost dropping his phone, he continued speaking in a rage-filled voice:" I really do need to make this phone call and that too right now. My wife's family has been terribly affected and yet we don't know the exact situation. I need to contact them and I cant get the network inside, so I have to go outside. I have told this same fact numerous times before this, so I order you to allow me to go outside this palace."

The middle aged police constable shook his head nervously. On one hand he was specifically told by his senior officers to not allow anyone to venture out of this palace under any circumstances until he receives any further orders. On the other hand he is worried that the person who is standing in front of him was not only an influential figure but was also much taller and had a better physical built than himself and he was sure that he can easily get knocked out if this person lands a punch on him. But being the dutiful and sincere man that he was(in fact he had never taken a bribe in his entire life), John Pitt refused to let him go out. He gave a faint smile, and in an attempt to defuse the mood of this person, he said calmly: " I understand your concerns sir, but I am afraid that I just can not allow you to go outside this palace. I've received specific orders from higher authorities that I can not allow any member of the Royal Family to go outside of this particular palace."

Prince Joseph grinned his teeth. "I am a fucking Prince and also the Duke of Winconsin. Can there exist a higher authority than myself?" He knew that in fact the Royal family had very little, if no, authority in deciding what happens in this country. Seeing that it was having no effect on this particular man, Joseph decided to change tactics. "Okay, okay, let's do something else. I am giving you my mobile, now can you please call this number and speak on my behalf?" He wasn't entirely comfortable with doing this, but he had no other option.

John Pitt nervously shook his head once again, before saying: "It will be no use sir, as far as I know, this palace and it's adjacent gardens have been almost been cut off from the world and no person who is staying here can actually establish connections with the outside world, as of now.' Suddenly, a weird kind of boldness got the best of John Pitt and he started saying the following words in a strict manner: "Besides, I am forced to say this sir, all these precautions have been taken by the government for your and your family's safety sir, so it makes me wonder why you are willing to endanger yourself and your family member by refusing to follow the orders that have been issued to you by the authorities. All of us are worried about your safety sir, so it is my earnest request to not do something that has been particularly forbidden by the authorities. I understand the predicament that you are in sir, but I request you to understand the situation. Please sir, try to be rational. Besides whenever we get any new updates, we do our best to inform you." John Pitt suddenly realised that he might have gone a bit too far and stopped speaking. He was afraid that such boldness might prove to be detrimental to him and his career. With bated breath he waited to see what the Prince does next.

Prince Joseph glared at the man. He really wanted to land a punch on this man's face, but he greatly restrained himself. With burning eyes he stared at him, before turning around and loudly cursing: " Security, my arse." He then proceeded on to walk up the flight of stairs and enter his room, where his wife was sitting along with his younger sister Princess Anne. His wife, Lady Morgana, was inconsolable. From the moment she heard of the accident, she had been crying copiously, showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. Princess, with whom Morgana was very close, tried her best to restrain her but to no avail. On seeing his brother, Anne got up from the bed where she was sitting with Lady Morgana of Corrington. "Any news, brother?" she asked in a tensed voice. "None." was all Joseph could say, while slowly shaking his head in disgust. He slowly sat down in the bed and hugged Morgana, as Anne walked out of the room with a disappointed expression.

The news about the deadly explosion in Corrington, spread like wildfire in Galimencia. The authorities, fearing that a same type of incident might happen to the members of their Royal Family, decided to bring all the direct members of the Royal family from all over Lownfolk and place them in the Buckminhum Palace. The palace compartments have been secured, and all the tourists were driven away from the palace. The army has been placed on high alert for any sort of disturbance. The only member of the family who was not present was Princess Camilla and his husband, who were staying in Cotland to attend an event when this bombing took place. They are currently being brought back to Lownfolk with heavy security.

"This letter looks fine." said the Prime Minister of Galimencia as he finished reading from the piece of paper that he was holding in his hands. He placed the letter in the table and looked around at the large number of people who sat around the round table. All of them were members of his Cabinet. "Lord Salsburry, I want you to deliver this letter as soon as possible" said Lord Kauvin while facing at the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lord Salsburry. The old politician nodded his head. The first letter that the Galimencian authorities had sent to the Corrish authorities were just a letter of plain condolence that required no reply. But after learning that the situation in Corrington was slowly improving, they decided that it was the best time to write this letter. In spite of knowing very well that the Prime Minister of Corirngton is in hospital, the Galimencian Minister of Foreign Affairs has purposefully decided to address it to the Prime Minister only, since it is a political letter. The letter read as follows:

---

From: Ministry of Foreign Affairs
To: Prime Minister Madeline Fletcher

Dear Madam

We are pleased to know that both the situation in Corrington and your health, have been improving at a rapid rate. May God bless you and Corrington. This letter is regarding something that we, in Galimencia, have been pondering for quiet a long time and we feel that this is the perfect time to ask this question outright, without further adieu. After the tragic incident that killed both the King and Queen of Corrington and which also destroyed the documents specifying who should inherit the throne next, we are forced to ask this now: Who shall be the next monarch of Corrington? This is a question that the entire world is asking at this moment, and at any rate it has an extra importance to us since one of the members of the Galimencian Royal family, His Royal Highness Prince Joseph, Duke of Winconsin, has a claim to the empty throne because of his marriage to Lady Morgana, Duchess of Winconsin of the Corrish Royal family. We apologise for acting so selfish in such dire situation, but we really do feel that we are in no position to further delay asking this urgent question. Hoping from a timely response from your end.

Thank You
Yours Truly
Herbert Ashley Williams, 1st Earl Williams of Salsburry
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Government of Galimencia

At the end of the day, after the Prime Minister had finished his discussions with his cabinet members, Lord Kauvin sat in his sofa alone as all the other ministers who visited his house had already left and his wife and his children were already asleep. It was 2 o clock in the night, and a lot of things were going on the Prime Minister's mind, all of which prevented him from falling asleep. Suddenly he remembered something extremely important. During all these chaos as to who will be the next monarch of Corrington, he seemed to have forgotten about that one person whom he had met during Prince Joseph's wedding and with whom he had subsequently grown quiet close. Lady Jeanine. Kauvin cursed loudly, before quickly taking his phone from the table. He thought for sometime as to what to do next, and then he opened Whatsapp in his phone, opened Lady Jeanine's profile and began typing. He sent her a small but significant message, which just read: "How are you doing Jeanine? Are you alright? Call me when you are free."

After communication with soon-to-be Emperor Jackson, Terrence Jones changed his mind towards the potential of gaining the title of king. You see, while Terrence believed that such a close ally to the now-Marajarbian Federation should be in control of a Corrish Monarch, there were 3 reasons why he changed his mind. The first was due to the hard choice of who to support, due to both princes vying for control of the Corrish throne, and no government, man, or woman very close to either of the twins knowing who was born first due to the loss of the Corrish King, Queen, and royal records. The second was thanks to Corrington's position as a leading factor in the ICDN Security Council, meaning that if Terrence became the King, he could orchestrate merging the very successful and pretty much already collapsed ICDN into another alliance, such as the Global Alliance. The third was due to the possibility of his wife, Marchioness Elizabeth Phillips wanting to claim the crown of the Queen.

However, with the 3 reasons, there are 3 problems, with the first being wether or not the Corrish people wanted a foreign monarch in the first place to represent them as their royal until a Corrish heir is born. The second problem is military support, should the Marajarbian military need to intervene and/or occupy Corrington if the people of Corrington would accept that. The third and final problem(for now), would be the response made by many of Corrington's other allies. However, this was not that big of a problem, due to many of Corrington's allies focusing on other matters.

Either way, Terrence would begin a public political campaign to become the first Marajarbian Monarch of Corrington, the first Marajarbian viceroy to represent the Emperor, the first Marajarbian politician that already has a job and a family that also is attempting to gather enough political power, and the first official Marajarbian Government official (other than those in Foreign Affairs or those who govern other protectorates) to become a foreign King that is not genetically related to any of the previous Marajarbian emperors or leaders.

The AWB is coming forward and said they had minor involvement , that they were aware of the Bombing plot and green-lit the plot . The AWB said that the bombings were a direct retaliation of both the Execution of Nicolas Willem Vorster , a former Australasian Commandant turned AWB fighter in Canberra and the bombing of TSWA towns by ICDN planes during the 5th South African Border War

The involvement of TSWA terrorist organizations was a rumour that had grown popular among Corrish citizens in the days since the attack, and since no other answers presented themselves (investigations remained inconclusive and murky), the Corrish citizenry and media embraced the AWB’s proclamation of responsibility. Paranoia and fury break out across the country, with bloodthirsty demands for war! Xenophobia towards TSWA immigrants skyrockets, and the Ministry of Domestic Security begins to watch former TSWA nationals more heavily.

Both Prince Edward and Prince John state that as King, they would make the terrorists behind the attacks “pay dearly”. Princess Priscilla Phillips, wanting to protect her family (Prince Louis and her two newborn children by him), publicly states that she would not pursue the crown as her relatives Prince Edward, Prince John and Terrence Jones are.

[Hopal]

The Day of the Bombings:
2 hours after the bombings the Hopalian National Police Service declares the area surrounding the Parliament Building, the City of Hopton, and the surrounding area to be safe. People leave the bunkers, though the City of Hopton is still essentially in a state of lockdown with work and school having been dismissed for the day, and almost businesses and services having been closed. Parliament reconvenes for an emergency session under strict security surrounding the building and the Hopalian Air Force takes to the skies, jets establish superiority as Hopalian Air Space is closed. The Emergency Border Decree put in place right after the bombings is adjusted, people are allowed to leave Hopal, and all people entering the country are isolated from the rest of the country at special border camps. All flights for the day are delayed and all flights to and from Corrington are canceled for the week. Though all trade through Hopal resumed.

After some conversations and deliberations with the Joint Military Command, Vice Marshall Jack Lionel leaves the Joint Military Command Building for Longsworth Air Base where he will await the arrival of his sister and brother-in-law; Alexandra and Jack Wayne.

Prime Minister John Stophoe addresses the nation during the Emergency Session of Parliament saying that his government will "protect the people of Hopal during tumultuous time" and that he will "always keep the best interests of Hopal at heart". But saying that "[his] heart goes out to the family of those affected this tragedy and to the people of Hopal" and that Hopal will "always stand by Corrington and the Corrish people". That as military and ICDN allies "Hopal and Corrington must always stand by each other" and that Hopal will "support Corrington by whatever means necessary" and that "Hopal will always extend a helping hand to the people of Corrington and to the Corrish Royal Family".

During the Emergency Session of Parliament, the Parliament passed an act declaring a "state of emergency" (there is no mechanism for an official State of Emergency to be declared in Hopal). The act also gave the Prime Minister the authority to militarily intervene in Corrington, and stated that a declaration or war by or on Corrington would be treated as a declaration of war on Hopal by the opposing power. The act also gave Corrington access to the Hopalian National Police Service to assist with the investigation on the bombings if requested by Corrington Police and allowed for any Corrish citizen to find safe harbour in Hopal.

After the Emergency Session of Parliament, the Cabinet reconvened in the bunker under the Parliament Building to continue discussing state matters into the night, primarily the border decree, which Prime Minister John Stophoe convinced the Cabinet to keep in its current form and who to support in a potential Civil War between Prince Edward and Prince John, which the Cabinet could not make a decision, though agreed a peaceful solution would be best. The Cabinet and James Lionel were relieved to find out that Henry and Marion Lionel were safe and in hospital. Hopalian officials requested that Henry and Marion Lionel and John Doherty to transported to Hopal whenever possible and the Cabinet continued to try to contact now Acting Prime Minister David Bentham.

Terrence Jones started his public campaign by promising many things. He promised to get revenge on TSWA for their terrorist campaigns throughout many nations. Terrence also promised to bring back ICDN as a major, international beacon of democracy by both solving its corruption problems that hinder its focus on serious issues, and ensuring democratic elections take place successfully. Another campaign promise is to make sure that the Corrish Royal Family continues its ways of arranged foreign marriages to become a world power, all the while sharing his power with a democratic parliament and prime minister.

Thank you

Today, Terrence Jones has continued his peaceful political campaign for the Corrish throne by promising to ensure that Corrington becomes what Terrence calls "The next UK", and what he means by that is very simple. Terrence plans on creating a Corrish stock market, bringing foreign investment to Corrington, and ensuring that Corrington becomes a popular center of culture and international commerce in the years to come. Terrence has also unveiled his "Constitutional Monarchy Plans", in which Corrington, as a constitutional monarchy and world power, benefits from what can be classified as an experimental democracy. One such new change would be a "Royal Cabinet" made of advisors, the Prime Minister, and the ruling Monarchs, and this system would be very similar to a Presidential Cabinet.

OOC: If this is grave digging, I understand and apologize for my actions, but the OP never finished this RP, so I suppose I will for him.

IC: Following one month, Terrence was popular amongst many Corrish-Marajarbian citizens both at home and abroad, and so he, alongside government and military support, became king of Corrington alongside his wife, Marchioness Elizabeth Phillips.

One of Terrence’s first moves as King of Corrington would be to immediately integrate the ICDN and/or its remnants, into the Global Alliance as a part of the newly established Liberty and Democracy Branch.
