"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" sighed the newly freed Bishop Williams to the newly crowned Emperor of Greater Prussia...Andre Leizpig. "Why don't you just fly the Vatican's flag above Reichskamphen!"

He sat down in a chair beside the Emperor, exasperated. "You called Ian Paisley a biggot...he is a HERO in this region. Your approval ratings in the Kingdoms are such that a vote is being carried out to revoke your citizenship...and thereby deny you of your Capitol in Reichsburg. There are plenty of Anglicans here...but even alot of them aren't fully aware of how Romanized they have become...and they will even oppose you for calling Reverend Paisley a biggot."

"I don't need to listen to this Roland." the Emperor responded pointedly. "I have things I need to do and I will wait for no opinion poll of international concensus. That is how every other Greater Prussian Emperor operated."

"Yes, but their people LIKED them...they HATE you." Williams responded realisitically.

"Silence. I don't need to hear these things. I will see you tommorrow...I must go for my daily racketball game." As Leipzig rose, two attendands began to outfit him in his racketball gear almost on cue.

"Andre..." Williams called after him. "Listen to me or the UVF..."

OOC: This is the thread in which we shall see the evolution of Andre-Allistaire Leipzig and the differance between public and private settings. I don't expect anyone other than Greater Prussians or close friends of the Empire to understand what is going on here and I dont have time to fully explain now.

The Cardinal sent a messenger with a written letter to the new emperor. The messenger departed. It read:
Your Imperial Highness,
You are the greatest emperor in Greater prussian history. I give you many thanks to legalising Catholicism within you own nation. You are a great man. I do however have one request. At the coronation, my priest was choked by the Czar of Derscon. He is being held "hostage" in a room. Can you please order him to be sent back to Cherry Ridge? My auxillary bishop is in an abandoned Anglican Church. I asked Count Oberhausen to send him to the room with the priest. Can you please arrange to send them back to Cherry Ridge. I would be very happy if you could do so. I also think I should make a state visit personally to visit you, for our two nations relations. Again thank you,
God Bless,
His Eminence Cardinal DeVito
Archbishop and Ruler of Cherry Ridge

Ooc: Tag.

Cardinal DeVito,

Thankyou kindly for your words of praise. I have remedied the situation that you spoke of. In the coming weeks, months, and years, I will need your support more than ever. We will be facing down the entrenched biggotry in this region. We will fight for the freedom of all, and for the return of the Roman Catholic and Anglican Heirarchies to prominence in this region.

You shall be given a new title as chief advisor to the Greater Prussian Crown.

Pax Tecum,

His Imperial Highness,
Andre-Allistaire Leipzig
Emperor of Greater Prussia

ooc- Can you post my appointment in the Civil Headquarters?

Message to Emperor LEipzig,
Thank You Your Imperial Highness. I do have one more thing to ask. Can I become commander of the Luftwaffe?

OOC

Yes, it's a tag

IC

TO: Andre-Allistaire Leipzig, Emperor of Greater Prussia
FROM: Latin Patriach of Jerusalem, Head of Jeruselem Catholic Church

We in the Holy Lands acclaim your ascent to the lofty throne of Emperor of Greater Prussia. May we extend an invition to the Holy Lands where Jesus, Abraham and many other Holy prophets have made their mark in Jeruselem and surely the world. This is an open invitation for your majesty to visit the Holy Shrines of Christianity, Judaism and Islam as well the holy of holies, the site of Mount Sinai.

May your Crusade to unite the Christian peoples of the world including Catholics and Protestants move us to destroy all the evil in this world for the word of Christ will do so.

OOC: One of Cherry Ridge's men attacked one of Paisley's men in the corronation thread. Paisley had him detained and then let him go if he would pay the man's medical fees. They returned, and Cardinal DeVito asked Leipzig to do something about it. This is what Leipzig did. I felt this should go here.

IC:"Your Highness," an Imperial courier approached Ian Paisley. "Emperor Leipzig has sent me to deliver this message to you, and to bring one Gerhard Hauptstein into Custody of the authorities of the Greater Prussian Empire on the charge of high treason."

"You're insane." Paisley threw the paper to the floor. "Hauptstein is a member of my personal guard and couldn't be involved in any treason. Plus, for the past week, he has been off duty because one of those Papist buggers from Cherry Ridge broke his arm. I think the equivalent of their vice president or something."

"It doesn't matter." the courier informed him bluntly. "He has been charged with treason by Andre Leipzig and is, as we speak, being taken into custody by men of the Imperial Gendarmerie."

"What is the basis for these charges!?" Paisley shouted at him.

"That material is classified." the courier replied as he turned a tight 180 degree turn and walked away. As he moved, his sleve rose up a tad, revealing a tattoo with a serpent on it.

"He's a Romanist..." Paisley muttered to himself, under his breath. Then he yelled out to him. "What is your name!?"

"Charles de Temps." the courier yelled back.

"He is a Catholic terrorist." Paisley informed his advisor, who stood beside him. "That tattoo. That serpent. That was the symbol of the Irish Vipers. They were a group that slaughtered innocent protestants during the Roman Uprisings here..."

Paisley reached for the phone and dialed Leipzig.

"Leipzig, you lieing, theiving, Papist!"

"Hello to you too, Ian." Leipzig replied cooly.

"You just charged one of my men for treason, and your man refused to give me...the Emperor of UberPreusse...the substantive evidence backing these charges...and your man was a member of the Irish Vipers!"

"Was he now?" Leipzig asked, thoroughly amused at Paisley's ire.

"His name was Charles de Temps."

"Well, I'll see that he's removed. Goodbye Ian."

"Wait you Romanist coward, what about my man, what about..."

Paisley heard a click on the other line.
"The Son of...." he caught himself. "That idiot hung up on me...." Paisley walked away from the desk upon which the phone sat. "This is war." he hissed.

The Cardinal dialed up the EMperors number
"I have heard that the man was arressted"

"You heard correct"

"I think I should make a state visit to Reichskamphen. That idiot Paisley is going to be very pissed off when he finds out that Bishop O'reilly is the delegate to the Uberprussen Foundation commitee. Well, I am the delegate, but he is going so I don't have to. I do have one more small request. I would like to visit Reichskamphen becasue I would like to act as the judge, the judicial vicar, if you will at the mans trial. No jury, make an imperial order. Please allow me this one favor, to be the judge."
He waited for his reply.

"Jury?" Leipzig laughed. "TRIAL???" he seemed entirely shocked. "He was summarily executed two hours ago. We just make his records disappear in the Imperial Prison system...an accident. He's long since dead."

Leipzig then paused. "But we do want you to come for a state visit. Come as soon as you can."

OOC: Post more later

"Your idea was better than mine" the Cardinal laughed. He hung up.


"GET MY STUFF READY NOW" he through his door.

2 hours later...
"Your EMinence, your stuff is ready"

"Thank you"

1 hour later...
he dialed up Leipzig on his cell phone,
"EMperor, I am on my plane, give confirmation, and I will be there within the hour" he waited for an answer

ooc- Here is the thread with the state visit

The Czar shook his head at the latest information. He picked up the phone and called Doctor Paisley.

Ian, this is Ivan. Could you fly to the Kremlin? We need to talk, and these phones are probably not secure.
