From: Princess Zieda Ojeras
I pray that you would not have to turn words of defense into action. I believe myself and my people to see enough violence. I pray that it is the end of it.
You are most correct in your assessment. I do not believe in truth my father ever aspired to the throne, even if perhaps he was likely the best suited of his brothers. I admit that I barely remember the reign of my uncle. Perhaps it was the will of God that the throne called upon him to lead, rather than inheritance. I think his reign shall be a great as my grandfather’s.
An expedition sounds most delightful. I love it. Perhaps it will grow to become a tradition in Liegalla as well, so that we may share in a sense of honorable sport and build up skills of the chivalric kind. It too would indeed make for a great diplomatic affair and mutual cultural exchange, one that would go far in bring our nations closer to one another in my opinion.
I shall be happy to learn some Camelonean dances.

The defense and safety of the throne are not exclusively achieved through the use of violence, in fact violence should be used sparingly to secure the throne. The greatest tools to give the throne stability is gaining the loyalty of the estates and provinces, building personal relationships with vassals, and conducting oneself with honor, fairness, and charity so that the balance of power will favor maintaining the status quo over disrupting it through a power grab. I can aid in securing the throne through my conduct and building personal bonds with your vassals through the establishment of chivalric orders, tournaments, and visitations, all things to provide other opportunities to advance socially without threatening the political power or authority of the throne. My blade will be yours as well but may God keep me from the need to bare steel, yet He is sovereign and He will guide us to His glory even if evil and wickedness strive against us.
From what I know of your father I must agree, and it is usually those who do not seek the throne who are best suited for it. High King Bran O'Devlin is a man in my lands history who did not seek the throne, in fact all he had desired for was to marry my ancestor which caused the same war that saw him ascend to the long absent High Kingship at the time, and through his rule lead Camelone to a golden age. I pray that this follows for your land as well, as Saul was removed and David anointed.
Beautiful, I will write to your mother requesting permission for this exhibition, and begin preparations at once. It shall be an excellent time.
I shall include a small book of Camelonean dances with this letter that I am sure you will find interesting. The Vow Dance I believe you will find most interesting.
To: Queen Guoda Ojeras
From: Prince Elasher of Yeris
Many greetings and blessings be upon you noble queen. I have been in correspondence with your daughter and the topic of the tournaments I participate was brought up, Princess Zieda expressed interest in attending one and I floated the idea of bringing an exhibition to Liegalla of the chivalric tournaments that occupy an important part in Camelone's culture. I have the ability to acquire a good degree of sponsors, knights, and aspirants who would be happy to participate and fund this exhibition.
For an exhibition I can gather 30 participants, a number necessary for the opening event of Hargadh, as well as the staff to ensure the other events run smoothly. Here is a list of events.
-Hargadh
-Jousting
-Running
-Glima
-Shooting or archery, which ever you feel more comfortable with
-Horse Hargadh
I believe this would be an excellent opportunity for cultural exchange and give your people some good entertainment. If this would work for you what would be a good timeframe to begin this exhibition and where could we host? I pray that this letter finds you well and in good health. God be with you.

I admit you leak my interest in your description of your bike. Though I can not imagine where we might ride to were the realities of the world might be set aside. This matter, of women in the affectionate embrace of another woman… it is one very broach in conversation in Liegalla. And yet it is one I find bouncing about in my head. How is it that you intend to make Flecksche such a place of haven?
I have not yet decided if I should or not, tell you to stop that is.
To:Her Royal Highness, Princess Zieda Ojeras of Liegalla.
From:Prinzessin Maja, Herrin von Flecksche.
Mein liebes Drachenmädchen,
I am sorry for this reply taking so long - as we were talking about setting our duties aside for but a moment, mine caught up to me. What exactly happened is of little importance, it is dealt with now, everyone is alive and happy.
It had indeed to do with Flecksche and my plans for it. My idea is to cultivate the idea, that it is not the important part whether or not the person someone loves has the same bits or not, but that there is love. That is, in my opinion, important, but some people tend to disagree... thankfully, my Uncle the Imperator is awaiting the results of this little project, quite a lot on the fence, and so is the Crown Prince. They aided me in bringing some very disgusting people to the justice they deserve.
Let's switch to a happier topic.
They say an image says more then a thousand words. Attached to this letter, you will find an image of me and my bike. She is a Bolpe Coniglietto, produced in 2021 in Culla in Lutetii. A 230 hp liquid cooled 1103 four-stroke engine aluminum monocoque bike, capable of reaching a speed of over 310 kilometres per hour.
Granted, I rarely go close to even 200 km/h, streets in Ridderli are too curvy to do so, but I do not need to, I feel. The great thing about riding a motorcycle recreationally, like I do, is, that one does not need go anywhere fast. The route is the goal, you can (within the confines of the street code) slow down to admire your surroundings, or even make a stop to sit on the guardrail overlooking some nice vista with a water bottle for a few or many minutes.
You might not cling to me affectionately during the ride, but for your dear life! ; )
With a gentle hug,
Prinzessin Maja,
Herrin von Flecksche.
I play PT, MT and a bit FT. I am into character-RPs.

Princess, I had hoped my previous letter had gotten to you, assuming it has, I don’t wish to pry. Assuming it hasn’t, I wish to see you at least once if a courtship is in the possible future.

Factbook about Koncioni: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1901739Yeah….. so the whole sense of the story is that the freeman’s dynasty is just a joke to try to import western progressivism to a medieval absolute monarchy, the freeman’s already know they won’t get the title, in fact they would be surprised if you accepted John, so I hope you had a laugh or a chuckle out of this, it took me a lot of time to make that factbook.

From: Princess Zieda
It is good to hear of your return from your vacation. I hope that it was quite enjoyable fo you, as I know it has been a great deal of time since the last of our correspondence, in that time I suppose much had happened. Though your star has dimmed, I admit, and my grandmother’s fears have not relented on your being and the sentiments held by Liegallans, particularly as more and more refugees from the north arrive in the capital, I have not yet entirely forgotten you.
To: Prince Elasher of Yeris
From:Princess Zieda Ojeras
I quite like your assessment of how to both improve the power and secure the stability of the throne. It is a matter I believe has oft been neglected in the minds of my ancestor, seeking to simply hold it, and not considering the matters that come next and the responsibilities tied to it. It should not, I think, be the history of nor future of Liegalla that we are granted peace only when there is a particular exceptional and strong leader.
Your words of the establishing of chivalric orders, tournaments, and visitations all speak to me in order to establish finally a sense of order to how we operate. That I believe is the future I seek for my country and the Ojeras dynasty. I too pray of not having to raise a blade, though it brings me comfort in knowing I may have yours to strike down the wicked of the world.
To: Maja, Duchess of Flecksche
From: Princess Zieda Ojeras
I do find myself torn in how I think I may wish to lead. As I turn more towards God, I find himself wondering if I am sinner in my core, for I find myself increasingly tempted by desires all my life I have been matters best locked away. And yet seeing how so different the world acts, I at once fear what such changes could pose to Liegalla and her people. To improve but to sustain my House is my duty, and one I increasingly see the great scope.
My face burns with such things I receive of you, and I admit the motorcycle you write of in a matter lost to me when I view your image. If I could spew the heat I feel in my face and that runs in my veins at such things, I would indeed being a dragon breathing columns of flames. I still find it odd, this matter of women wearing trousers, though I suppose in recent, amongst my sighting of it, I grow to appreciate it. If not for myself.

It is nevertheless hoped that you find happiness in your other future pursuits.
Queen Guoda had just sent off the letter to Prince John, when she was informed of the much anticipated arrival of the treasure fleet of Prince Marcus. She quickly made her way to the throne room.
The arrival of Prince Marcus’ treasure fleet was no small matter. Never before had such a large fleet ever appeared off the shores of Liegalla, and never had such treasures heron delivered to the capital. It spark a mad rush towards the convoy as it made its way to the palace has hundreds, then thousands and then tens of thousands of people rushed to catch sight of it. There was such excitement that the entire city seemed abuzzed.
Such was this excitement that the palace guards who had been tasked with finding the wayward Prince Dariano, had to be reassigned as to ensure the crowds did not turned to riot, which seemed quite the possibility. With such wealth being passed through the streets of the capital, and many having heard rumors and tales of the size of the treasure and even the distribution of the gold that had arrived, people ran and pushed and shoved in hopes of being the first.
It was in this situation that two men, Morcas and Bronas, amongst the spies of the hidden Queen Dowager Brigita spotted their quarry. What a windfall they had. Hearing the prince proclaim himself precisely who they sought for, only for it to see be drowned out as people everyone rushed to spot the treasure convoy, the two sprung into action. They came up behind Elinga and the prince swiftly, their movements hidden by the rush of people.
Bronas struck first, seizing the prince and clamping a heavy hand over his mouth as to keep him from yelling out. He wrapped a large arm around the royal and lifted him up and dashed off to a nearby alleyway.
It was much worse for Elinga. The young woman opened her mouth to cry out, only to find no sound coming out as Marcas opened her throat. She had only the time to look down at the bloodily gash before collapsing, dead before she hit the ground. So frenzied was the rush to see the treasure of Prince Marcus that none noticed Elinga, even as they trampled her body.
In the alleyway, Morcas joined his fellow roughen, and using the ropes snatched from the crabcatcher’s daughter, bound and gagged the the Meyarino royal and in the shadows of the distracted city, made their way to Vakaru Castle.
Queen Dowager Gintare all but threw open the palace gates for the envoys of Prince Marcus herself. The Queen Dowager had longed awaited the arrival of the famed treasure fleet. Eager to see the gifts of the suitor made to fill the royal coffers, and even more to get her granddaughter to Mary the wealthy prince. Prince Marcus could be a malformed hunchback, and the Queen dowager would still recommend him for her granddaughters. Wealth was what they needed.
The gates were opened and the palace safe began aiding in the unloading of the treasures as a pair of guards in the red and gold livery of House Ojeras escorted the envoys to the throne room, their audience granted. The greeting of the envoys was not as grand for the envoys of the prince as it had been for Prince Jean-Luc, Queen Guoda had no interest in walking that road again. She seated the Dragonfire Throne, her mother at her side, a bright smile on the older woman’s aged face, and that wound have to prove enough.
