(OOC: This is a follow up if you will to the thread of, "The Queen of Tarayshia seeks a suitor." Well, the queen has chosen and his name is Atticus Konovski from the nation of Kulikovo.)


IC:

It's been two months since the banquet that Queen Lehana had in order to choose a husband. After much soul searching and thought, she had chosen a man named Atticus Konovski from the nation of Kulikovo.
It was on a sunny afternoon that her advisor named Margo aproached the queen while she was laying in the sun.
"Your majesty," Margo said, "The wedding date is only a month away, we need to start sending invatations to all the nations that wish to attend this wonderful event."
"I know," Lehana said, "I've just been so busy with gown fittings, flowers, rings and many more things. Go ahead and send out the message Margo."
"Yes your majesty," Margo said as she left the queen's side. A few moments later, this message made it to the nations of the world.


From: The Ofice of Queen Lehana of the nation of Tarayshia

(OOC: Bump)

A messenger in uniform delivered a sealed letter to The Office of Queen Lehana of the nation of Tarayshia.

It was a personal letter to the queen from the king of Strobovia:



Honourable Queen Lehana of Tarayshia

It has come to Our attention that They are to be married in the upcoming month. We shall take great delight in participating this glorious act of love.

Best regards
His Majesty King Daniel Christian Valdemar Lund III of Strobovia

"Sapphire, you HAVE to go!"

Sapphire Swiftblade shook her head, smiling as she teased the First Councillor. "No, no... these royal events are MUCH more your forte, Scott. So I hereby propose a deal....we both attend."

First Councillor Scott Lewis frowned. She had him now. "Very well. By Alexander, I hate these official engagements. So much pomp and circumstance... Bah!"

Sapphire, the First Council's Foreign Minister, chuckled "Now now. I hear Tarayisha has some lovely holiday spots. Maybe we could do with a break. Second Councillor Mayhew can hold the fort for a week.

Scott shook his head "We have Pathfinders fighting and dying in Chitzeland, along with a thousand volunteers, and I'm considering a week of royal parties and holidaying. No, Sapphire. I can't leave Karullia now."

The blonde woman put her hand on Scott's shoulder. "Yes you can. Public support for our intervention in Chitzeland is polled at 89%. We're doing the right thing there, Scott. You haven't had a break since you were elected First Councillor. You're coming with me to Tarayisha, and you're going to enjoy yourself."

She smiled devilishly "May even find some lovely young lady to hitch you up with."

Scott smiled, and shook his head with a chuckle "No wonder they made you a diplomat....very well. Send a message to the Queen of Tarayisha. We'll be there."

Sapphire smiled as she picked up the phone to her aide in the Department Of Foreign Affairs. Fifteen minutes later, the following missive was transmitted to Tarayisha:

To: Her Gracious Majesty Queen Lehana of Tarayisha,

The First Council Of The People's Republic Of Karullia offers it's heartiest congratulations on behalf of our nation. We would be honoured to attend the ceremony, and are pleased to confirm that both First Councillor Scott Lewis and myself will be in attendance.

Our deepest regards and congratulations once again,

Sapphire Swiftblade, Foreign Minister, First Council Of The People's Republic Of Karullia

The Pious Inquisitor had just recieved Tarayshia's message when General Johnathan Bradley, head of the Council of Races, woke from cryo sleep. Bradley read the message scrolling across his eye screen. Damn. Fucking banquets already over. He inhaled, and doubled over coughing. That shit they put on my lips will never taste any good. He thought as he spit up globs of a clear, stringy fluid into a basin near his cryo cell. He got up and walked over to a cabnet full of clothes and picked out a very nice tuxedo. Bradley put it on and walked to a Pelican, a dropship. He went down to the planet and landed on a remote parking lot in Tarayshia. He jumped out and hopped into a Ghost, a hovor vehicle, that the Pelican had been carrying. He sped off on a road leading to the Tarayshia capital.

From Johnathan Bradley to Atticus, (OOC:who appearantly does not have a last name.)

Congradulation on being wed to Queen Lehana. I would like to meet you and tell you why I was not at the banquet. Perhaps a friendship can be struck.

It is to our great delight to hear of this wonderful event. May this new bond be a reason for everlasting peace and prosperity between your nations and serve as an example for others. We will surely send a representative to attend the wedding.

To: The Office of Queen Lehana of Tarayshia
From: Prime Minister Dantes of Kulikovo

I, Prime Minister Dantes, though disappointed in Atticus Konovski for leaving his post, it would be rude not to attend the wedding. I and the people of Kulikovo wish that your marriage is a happy one. Myself, my wife Sasha, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Propoganda, and several other officals wish to come.

-Prime Minister Dantes

Atticus walked in a state of deep thought. Alot has happened. He felt complete and was happy with every moment he spent with Lehana. Atticus intended to give the old ring, a family hand-me-down to Lehana. It wasn't the shiniest ring in the world. Just a simple ring. He saw her laying in the sun and sat down next to her.
"Hey there" he said in an upbeat tone "The tailor and I nearly went insane from trying to get a suit ready"

To: The Office of Queen Lehana of Tarayshia
From: Ruler Yuri Kovak of Dal Gesh

It is a grand event you are holding Queen Lehana, i would be honored to come to your wedding with a gift as well.
i await your reply so i may know to be expected.

*the message was writen a data pad that had been detailed with gold and silver lay of art on its back*

First Councillor Lewis settled back into the seat aboard Karullia 2, the Sea King helicopter modified and used as the official transport of the First Council. A glass of whiskey and an open laptop lay on the table in front of him, but he still looked discomfited. He despised flying...there was something just...just wrong about being suspended at 40,000 feet by nothing more than rotor blades or hjet engines, and the laws of aerodynamics. He shuddered and took a heavy swig of the malt scotch. Looking across at Sapphire, dressed in a sharp business suit and earnestly tapping away at her own laptop he silently envied her ability to not think that at any moment they could be turned into a vast crater somewhere.

Looking back at his own laptop and the various documents he had to leaf through. His bodyguard, Warrant Officer Shinji Yamada, was sound asleep, as was Sapphire's diplomatic attache. HOW could people sleep???

He muttered to himself and closed the laptop. In a few hours they would be in Tarayshia. Then he could relax. He took the Sphinx pistol from under his suit jacket and set it on the table. That was another thing he hated- Sokai insisted he carry a pistol whenever he went abroad. Sapphire carried one too- a Sig-Sauer P220- but hers was no-where to be seen. Probably in her carry-on baggage.

The Foreign Minister looked over and removed her spectacles with a smile "Still not used to flying, Scott?"

He chuckled, shaking his head. "If God intended us to fly, he'd have given us wings."

Sapphire shrugged some, looking out of the window "Still...it makes life interesting, you must admit."

The two chatted most of the journey away, and the sun was just rising when they entered Tarayshian airspace.

"Hmm...a wedding you say? I'm sure there will be attractive bridesmaids..." said an obviously perverted Dictator Cohenius. His wife then smacked him. "...who will be eye candy for those not granted for a lovely wife like you!"

"That's better."

A modified bomber (painted with peaceful colors) flew over Tarayshia and dropped a brown box, attached to a little parachute, in front of the Grand Palace. In it was an engagement gift (10 of the finest Jaredcohenian apples, a sign of fertility and priced at 500 cohencas (250 USD about) each, a traditional engagement gift) and a note, writen with caligraphy saying...

TO: Queen Lehana of Tarayshia
FROM: Dictator Cohenius of Jaredcohenia

My wife and I will gladly attend the wedding of Queen Lehana and Atticus. Congratulations on your wedding and may it be a joyous occasion!

OCC: Bump

King Daniel sat in the royal airplane on his way to Tarayshia. "This will be something to remember" he thought to himself.

A few hours later they entered Tarayshian airspace...

"This is STRA-R1 calling. We're on a diplomatic mission to bring King Daniel of Strobovia to the royal wedding. Requests fighter escort."

Bump!

Tarayisha, can you give a bit of info on the city the wedding i to be held in? Airports, hotels et cetera?

Message to Tarayisha:

We are very pleased and excited to hear of this marriage. Truly, it is a wonderful thing, and everyone here in Geneticon wishes the Queen and her husband to be, the best. Regretfully, neither I or my family will be able to attend this wedding. We are currently engaged in some business, which could take a while. But, my Secretary of Science, Jimmy Phillips, will be availible that weekend, and has pledged his support to attend the wedding. He will be accompanied by several other Geneticon respresentatives and body guards. Please send the information on how to reach your country and the like.

All the best,
President Keith Johnson
Geneticon

Two senior officers were walking down the rather dark corridor.
- So who do we send for that wedding?
- Don't look at me, I'm a bit too old for this. I suggest one of the younger regiment commanders.
- It will be a major event with representatives from a lot of countries...we shouldn't screw up.
- I suggest Franz Kepler. The guy is quite disciplined and good-looking, he will make a good impresion.
- Franz Kepler it is then.

The royal airplane touched down and taxied to the gate. King Daniel exited the plane and stood in the main terminal a few moments later, sorrounded by security.

"It seems that We forgot to ask where to report Our arrival."

A person in the Canadstein had sent the letter from Queen Lehana. The pilot was Willy Knight a memeber of the Black Jacks. Two men were in the back of the plane. One was Chester Martin, leader of the Black Jacks, and Gordon McSweeny, another member of the Black Jacks.

From: Canadstein Government

We are delighted about this occasion. Our government has sent Chester Martin a representative to be at the wedding. The men are on there way to see the wedding.

President Mahan

The wheel had been set in motion. Once they landed Chester, Gordon, and Willy got off the plane. The plane was taken to a hangar.

Congratulations to both the Queen Lehana and Mr.Atticus as well as the nations of Tarayshia and Kulikovo for this magnificent event! On belahf of the people of Madnestan I would indeed like to attend, but unfortunately governmental duties prevent that of taking place.

However, a representative may be sent.
Lt.General Rayga, a national war hero who has just recently returned from his military mission from warzone, is the person this honour has been granted to.

With the best and most sincere regards,

The Heavily Armed Republic of Madnestan

Returning home after a month long holiday, Princess Julianna of Wolflaud felt wary and fatigued. It was a magnificent experience for her for she met many venerated personages from around the globe. She explored new cultures and customs and delighted in exotic cuisine. Juliana however was happy to be home .
Her Advisors who accompanied her, gallivanted Juliana from one place to the next, not allowing her to rest even for one night's sleep. Escorting her and to her room the palace staff, helped Juliana reach her bed chamber safely. Upon opening the chamber door, they deposited her trunks filled with gowns and jewels on the floor to be put away by one of her maids. Juliana signed in relief

Within moments,while being helped out of her traveling clothes to into something a bit more formal for dinner , Juliana her maids heard a soft tap on her Chamber door. A tap that quickly accelerated into a nevous, rapid banging . Bidding the unexpected visitor entrance, Juliana stepped behind a decorated screen for modesty's sake, and called to the visitor to enter.
Juliana could not believe her eyes. It was Teuton, Chief of Staff to her mother, the Queen. She was suddenly filled with fear. Her heart began to pound in her chest. Why has Teuton come at such a late hour? Was my mother alright? Juliana always feared for her mother's well being. While away, she received notice that the Queen's health turned for the worse.

"Here, your mother gave orders for you to receive this as soon as you arrived home", Teuton said handing her a letter sealed with a royal emblem.

"What" Julianna exclaimed as she ran out behind the protective screen in a state of undress to reach for the letter, shooing away her maids who tired to stop her greeting the Chief in a state of undress, she said "I wonder what is says and who it is from"? she asks

"We don't know" replied the Chief of Staff. "Your mother had hoped it was from a suitor you met while abroad this past month. That's why she was so excited for you to read this as soon as possible."

Grabbing the letter from his hand and rolling her eyes, She hoped she was wrong. Although she had met a great many potential suitors, none of them sparked any interest for her in a romantic way. They all had way too many faults, she reasonedto everyone and anyone who would listen.

Sitting on the edge of a chair at her dressing table she read:


From: The Ofice of Queen Lehana of the nation of Tarayshia
To: All nations and peoples of the World

Hello,
It is a wonderful and glorious time in our nation of Tarayshia. Our majesty, has chosen a husband and will be getting married in a grand wedding next month. The wedding will be held on a private beach in Tarayshia, to be followed by a party in the great hall afterwords.
All nations and peoples are more than welcome to come and celebrate this wonderful event with our nation and future king as marrying our queen will make him. The young man's name is Atticus Konovski, and he is originally from the nation of Kulikovo.

Advisor Margo Price of the Nation of Tarayshia .

"Oh my god!" She exclaimed as Teuton moved closer to her,"one of my good friends is to be married! "I'm so excited for her".

Julianna indeed was quite pleased for her, The Queen of Tarayshia was a very dear and old friend of hers. "I can't wait to meet her new husband! I only hope he's good enough for her because she's one of the most striking and generous person I know." Juliana too is known for her great beauty and kindness.

"I must go! Quickly Teuton please beg my mother's permission to allow me to attend!" She exclaimed, ignoring the obvious look of disappointment on his face.

"As your lady wishes" he replies and bows before exiting the room.

Later, as the Queen is briefed on the matter of the letter by Teuton, they sit across from each other at a table in her private chambers. She too is greatly disappointed. Wishing for her daughter to be safely married before her death because she feared that once dead that any greedy unscruploius suitor from Wolflaud might capture her and force Juliana to marry him to gain power and control of Wolflaud. At the time of her death, her daughter will lose all her protection offered by her mother who was still greatly respected throughout Wolflaud. Her daughter isn't strong enough mentaly or phyically to handle ruling Wolflaud alone. She's much too disinterested, involved in her own passions.

Disappointed, her daughters last trip was wasted. No suitors were found. Perhaps this invitation will answer her prayers,she hoped. "I'll grant permission"she informs a surprised looking Chief of Staff. "It's important that Juliana goes", is all that she says to him.


To the Advisor Margo Price of the Nation of Tarayshia,

I hereby confirm my daughter Princess Julianna of Wolflaud will be allowed to attend the wedding.Please advise when you will be able to send escorts to greet her at her arrival. She will be ariving by air. Also it would be very helpful if you should also send all or any available unattached men from great families to greet her as well. We have our reasons.

Signed
The Queen of Wolflaud

“As ruler of Dal Gesh.. I accept your invitation to your wedding..
And will arrive in person with a wedding gift.”
In his transmission was being sent as per instruction for reply at a time of their wishing.
His breathing was a bit staggered though regulated as he continued.
“I will be sure to wear something nice for this rare event.
Though I hope it will be alright to know that this will be my first wedding to attend.”
He gave a slight bow now from his throne as it ends.
He gave an order to prepare his air ship to be ready and the said gift to be wrapped and placed aboard.

President Ailani was sitting at his desk trying to calm down the ferry pilots union and giving them vague promises about working with the management to get them better medical care for their knees. When he finally hanged up he sat back exhausted.

His secretary walked in and Ailani said, "Maria, if it is not good news I don't want hear it." Maria smiled mischeviosly as she replied, "Then I guess you don't want to this invite, to what is probably going to be a most boring royal wedding." Ailani looked quizically at Maria and said, "Royal wedding? But who would invite me?.....Wait Wait Don't tell me her name..... Queen Lehana. From the Red Dawn banquet? I remember she was a very maika'i women." Maria smile broadened as she said, "But since you don't want to get the bad news..." Ailani growled, "Out, out I say if you are going to tease an old man like that. And don't worry about the reply I wil send it myself." Then he quietly muttered, "I need the vacation."

To Her Most Royal Majesty Queen Lehana
The news of your marriage is certainly a most joyous occasion. I would like to humbly accept your invitation. With this message I would just like to confirm that I, my secretary, and Count Georgious will be coming to wedding."

President Ailani

OOC-I will try to send a person to the wedding but I will be busy and gone for a while.

Before Lehana could greet Atticus, Margo came running up to her.
"Your majesty," she said handing Lehana a letter, "Do you remember that girl that you went to finishing school with?"
"That depends," Lehana said as she sat up, "Which girl? There were a lot of them."
"Princess Juliana from the country of Wolflaud."
"Oh wow," Lehana breathed, "I haven't seen her in years!"
Lehana opened the letter and after reading it slumped her shoulders, "It figures it was from her mom, don't get me wrong I like her mom however if I know Juliana she hasn't married and just like my nation they may be getting a bit frusturated that she hasn't found a husband. Go get me a pen and paper and I will write her back personally."
Margo did as she was told, bringing back the items and after the letter was written Margo sent it.


From: Lehana
To: Juliana of the nation of Wolflaud

Hello Juliana, it's been such a long time since I've seen you, I hope this letter finds you well. Of course you can come to my wedding, Atticus is wonderful and I can't wait for you to meet him!
Hope to hear from you,

Atticus smiled "There sure alot of people from alot of nations coming to this wedding. Even Prime Minister Dantes is coming. Though he chewed me out a bit for the whole being called king stuff. But, he was happy that I found someone special to marry" he said. "You'll like Dantes. He likes to make people think he's rough. But he's a nice guy".

A thoughtful expression came over Lehana's face, "Atticus, if I remember your early letters correctly, don't you have a pet? If so, who's taking care of it; you know you can bring it here."

"Oh no, I forgot about Bruno! How could I? Lehana, you'll love him, he's adorable and knows tons of tricks" Atticus responded and sat down next to her.

From: The Office of Queen Lehana
To: President Ailani

Mr. President, we thank you for your interest in coming to our queen's marriage. I am Queen Lehana's advisor, Margo Price and your name rings a bell with me. I believe that my majesty attended a banquet of yours sometime back? It will be a pleasure to meet you, and I'm sure that our Queen will be happy to see you again. She did talk for days about the great time she had at your party, I do hope you will enjoy our hospitality.

Sincerely,
Advisor Margo Price of the nation of Tarayshia

"Well," Lehana said as she placed a hand on Atticus's shoulder, "I hope Bruno is alright, don't you have someone to look after him? And, will they come to the wedding?"

"Bruno's just fine. He used to be a guard dog at an army base. Dante's youngest daughter is taking care of him. Dantes thought it would help her learn responsibility before they got their own pet" Atticus rsponded and put his hand on hers.

Lehana smiled, "I can't wait to meet him! I love dogs, I'm sure he's kept you company a lot. I bet he misses you!"

"Yes, Bruno's been a loyal companion. I'm sure bruno does miss me." Atticus replied.

"I wonder if it would be easier to wear my officer's uniform. The tailor and I nearly got into a fist fight" Atticus said.

Lehana sighed, "I'm sure you'll figure it out, what seems to be the problem?"

Atticus gently put his hand to her cheek. "There's no real problem. I just couldn't stand still why he was taking the measurements. And It was hard to make up my mind on what to wear. There were too many types of tuxedos." Atticus replied, smiling.

Slipping Lahana's letter from rest of the mail that's awaiting the Queen's attention, Juliana looks up and notices Wilma, the Queen's personal Secretary look up at her distainfully, but before Wilma could open her mouth Juliana says:

"Well it's addressed to me and I'm how old? I definitely don't need my mother to reply to letters for me", Julianna mutters as she walks away carrying Lalanna's letter back to her room.

From: Juliana
To: Lahana

Lahana my dear friend, I am most delighted at the glorious news of your wedding . I am very well, thank you and I am looking forward to meeting up with both of you there. I shall be leaving my country and arriving in your country on Friday at 12 noon at same airport as the last time I arrived . I will be accompanied by some kind of a Royal escort I'm certain. See you soon.

The air in most areas of his nation was clean and wonderful to breathe, though in the area where his project was being worked on a green gas would be emitted when it was on but for now it was offline.
As his engineers and scientists figure out a way to remove that function or some how containing it would make things better as a way to remove what was in the air is in a sense they call it cleaning it.
His new machine troops were good to enforce the laws as the moral of his people seemed higher now that he would be going to a wedding.
Though he had before made a claim for seeking out a woman to love, His hope in that was dim as he lifted himself out of his immoveable throne to move to the ring lift.
With his ring on his hand his other hand presses the symbols upon it to activate the ring lift to bring him to his chambers.
With his soon arrival into his chambers seeing darkness beginning to move about as he gave a voice command.
“Activate lights..”
His eyes saw the room brighten up as one of his officers were in his room as he knows her as Zafia Durgon, or the hidden spider of his work though he never understood why she was so undyingly loyal as on some past missions she needed surgery to fix her wounds.
“Why hello my handsome ruler.” She would stand up bowing gracefully with always a look in her eyes.
“What do you want Zafia?” He said this moving towards his closet pressing on a attached data pad that was on the wall for his choosing his white robe that he wore to special events.
It soon arrived as the machine arm presented it like a gift always soon to leave after as he unwrapped it removing his black robe from his body to show that his body was covered by machine armor.
Removing his granite mask as well as his event mask came with as he never wore it before.
But this time he places it on as the dim light in the mask was for the beautiful artwork that displayed in a mosaic way but the mask itself was white and the light in it was gold.
But after taking a moment to set it in his hands soon took the white robe out and started to place it onto himself as he felt Zafia’s aid to make sure he didn’t rip the robe in any way.
“You do keep yourself alone in here my handsome ruler..
Even I had to wait from a hole in your ring lift for the doors to open and wait for you inside..
To see your room for the first time..”
She said this with a slight grin now as he looked himself over in a mirror.
“You know that no one other than myself should be in here unless I give them this ring..
But even than why should you have one of these rings..?
Even now you’re sniffing my robe…”
His eyes were watching her sniff his black robe as she sees this and blushes putting it down.
“Maybe it’s because I enjoy your scent?
And also if I had your permission to have a ring myself I wouldn’t have to sneak in here when you come..
But I was hoping you would bring me along to this wedding your going to my ruler.”
And so the reason why she was here comes to light staring at her now in thought as he replies.
“You may come along under some conditions..
One of them is to not kill or harm anyone unless it directly involves my safety but only minor wounds and no buts about that..
Next is to wear something beautiful and be polite…
Though if I know you right you will try to get yourself drunk or embarrass me some how..”
Her eyes lit up saying this.
“But I would never embarrass you my ruler! Please, Please, Please? I’ll be good!”
She said this clinging to him as he felt embarrassed but said this sighing at how cute she was acting and looking like the same when he first met her seemed like she was a cute lost puppy but he gave her a good upbringing as she seemed like his daughter than anything else but right now she was a adult now.
“alright… but I want you always in eye sight… take this and go get yourself a good dress.. we’ll be leaving in two hours..“ he said this giving her a credit pass that was more money than she had seen before.
“Ok you won’t be disappointed! I’ll be back soon!”
And like that she was off like a rocket to the lift giggling and joy as he was left with thoughts but dismissed them.

The jet touched down on at the airport. Prime Minister Dantes, his wife, and two members of his cabinet and several others departed the jet. Dantes rubbed his beard and looked around.
"What a beautiful place" sasha commented
"Yes, it is a nice country" Dantes replied.

"I'm sure you and him will figure something out," Lehana said as she swung her legs over the chair and stood up.
"I'm going to get something small to eat," she said, "When will Dantes and his wife be here? I guess we should go and get ready, or I should at least."

OCC: Dantes already landed

IC:

"I'm sure we will as well. How's the whole preperation been going with you?" Atticus asked as they began walking.

[QUOTE=Kulikovo]OCC: Dantes already landed

(OOC: I know that, but how can Lehana know?)

IC:

"It's going alright," Lehana said, "I have my wedding gown all made and the food and such ordered."

"I'm sure you'll look like an angel in your dress" Atticus said. His phone rang, he thought he left it in the room but he must've forgot. Atticus chatted for a minute.
"Prime Minister Dantes is already here!" Atticus exclaimed "What am I going to do? I hope he's in a good mood. He'll have to behave, his wife is with him" he said, calming down a little. "I should go meet with him, do you want to come? Or do you want to meet him at the wedding?"

"Oh wow! Really? How about this, you go and get him and invite him and his wife to the palace, I'll have a special little dinner made for his arival. I'll be there, of course."

"Okay, great!" Atticus said "I'll got get them. You'll like meeting him. He's actually a nice guy when you get to know him, see you there" Atticus said and kissed her and walked off to meet Dantes.

Atticus made his way to the airport where Dantes and the others were waiting. His hand began to tremble. He was so nervous. Atticus walked up to them and held out his hand
"Dantes, it's great to see you, glad you came, sir" he nervously said. Dantes shook his hand.
"Atticus, how are you doing?"
"I'm fantastic sir. I'm getting married to the most wonderful woman in the world." he smiled
"I'm happy for you. Though, the General Assemble was a bit angered that you left you post, to become a king"
"That's not how it is at all sir, I'm only going to be called king once and awhile. Lehana has the real power, I'll have none. So it's not that much of a problem."
"That's good, I'd like to meet her. She sounds like a great woman." Dantes replied and they all got into the cars and drove off.

They reached the palace and got out of the cars. Dantes walked up, his wife holding his arm. They marveled at the palace, it was a nice place. Atticus took them to the dining room.
"Lehana should be here any minute, sir" Atticus said as Dantes sat down and chatted.

The time had arrived as Yuri Kovak in his white robe and mask arrived at his air ship from a military transport.
At the one of lowering landings slash loading lifts as in the center are a gravity lift of a sort as the present is loading on board.
And waiting was Fafia in a beautiful simple dress that is smooth and fitting her curves though to the life of him he wouldn’t know how she would get into that thing if it weren’t for the side tie together.
The image on the bust of the dress seemed to have the look of a wash away spray as it reads. “Angel”
“Did you have to do that?”
Yuri said this with a sigh as he looked at the lettering again walking with her now as she clinked onto him, holding him by the waist of his robes tightly.
“It’s because I’m proving I’ll be your angel for this.”
She said this blushing hiding the fact as they board the air ship, with 10 minutes for it to take off though right now checks were being done and accounting for.
A message was sent to the queen that he and company were on their way soon.
( a brain fart coming along ^.^; )

"Your majesty," Margo said as she knocked on Lehana's door, "The prime minister and his guests are here."
"I'll be out," Lehana said as a moment had past and she opened the door.
"You look nice," Margo said as the queen smiled.
"Thanks, I wanted to look nice for the people from my future husband's country," Lehana said as she and Margo made there way to the dining room.
Lehana wore a black silk gown, with beads hemming the neckline and going down the front of it. Her ebony hair was worn down her back, with the sides pulled up and pinned on top of her head. Black shoes sat upon her feet as the door opened and the queen stepped in along with Margo. Margo's simple white blouse and skirt was far different from what Lehana wore.
"Good evening Mr. prime minister," Lehana spoke, "I welcome you to the nation of Tarayshia and do hope you enjoy your stay; I thank you for coming. I am Queen Lehana and this is my advisor Margo Price."
"I'm pleased to meet you," Margo said as both her and the queen bowed.

"There must be some joke. You're too beautiful to be Atticus's future wife" Dantes joked. His wife Sasha nudged him in the arm. "Sorry, it's nice to meet you" Dantes replied, this time serious. Atticus stood there embarrassed.

Lehana chuckled, "Well, thank you. Margo, please go to inform the cooks that they may serve the dinner now?"
She looked at Dantes, "Are you ready for dinner?"

"This is my wife Sasha. And yes, we're all quite hungry. We didn't eat on the way up" replied Dantes. His wish said hello in her delicate voice.

As the others went to sit down Atticus said to her "He's a joker. Especially with people he likes" Atticus said and they went to the table. Atticus pulled a chair out for her and they sat down.

"Lehana, what possessed you to choose Atticus and what did you do to him. I've never seen him like this before? I send him here for a diplomatic mission and he writes me and says he's getting married. Unless there was another reason he insisted on coming here." dantes said.

Atticus failed to mention that he didn't come to Tarayshia to set up diplomatic ties. Atticus began to get nervous.

"That must mean you like me," Lehana joked as she thanked Atticus for getting out her chair.
"It's nice to meet you Sasha," Lehana said to Dantes's wife.
When Dantes mentioned about sending Atticus on a diplamatic mission, the queen momentarely got confused.
Lehana sent a glance towards Atticus, "diplomatic ties? Oh yes, I was having a banquet to try and get my name and nation known to other nations. I guess you could say it was love at first sight when it comes to Atticus; truth was I wasn't actually looking for a husband; it's funny how things work out."
Lehana finished as her voice was calm, looking Dantes in the eyes. As a queen, Lehana was good at lying and covering if she had to.

Atticu held her hand as a sigh of relief went over his face. He had to lie to Dantes about his reasons for going. If he told the truth to him, Dantes wouldn't have ever let him go. Lehana was saving his skin once more.

"I see, you two do seem to love one another. That's good. I hope you two have a happy marriage. And it looks like your diplomatic mission was a success, although to the extreme" Dantes replied.
"Yes, Gregor" Atticus replied, relaxing a bit "How are affairs back home?"
"Oh, it's all boring" Dantes replied "the conservatives are at it again, a bunch of greedy-" Dantes tried to say but Sasha nudged him again. "I'm sorry, I dont' want to bore anyone with the political talk. Where would I be without my Sasha. She keeps me in line"
"Sometimes it gets a bit difficult" Sasha added.

Lehana squeezed Atticus's hand, "Yes, I do love him very much. I would asume that because of our marriage that the nations of Tarayshia and Kulikovo will be in peace, and help one another out?"

"Yes, I believe our two nations will become strong allies" replied Dantes. Atticus sat there, holding her hand and smiled at her. "So, exactly when is the wedding?" Dantes asked.

"The wedding is in a week," Lehana said, "We have hotels for you to stay in, or we have rooms in the palace for you, your wife and attendents to stay in as well. It's your call.."

(OOC: what happened to your aim?)

OCC: Mine was giving me some trouble. Slowing down my computer. I've been trying to set it right. I haven't gotten rid of it though.

"That sounds fine, are our stuff being taken to one?" asked Dantes.

(OOC: I hear ya..aim can be anoying.was just curious)

IC:

"Yes," Lehana said, "We can arrange that for you, what hotel would you like? We have 2 of them that have been reserved for the wedding and for all the guests. One hotel is called the Paradise hotel and the other is called the Nala hotel, after the name of our capital city."

OCC: No problem. I nearly threw my computer out the window. I'll try to get it working.

IC:

"From what we've seen your nation seems to be a beautiful and blessed place. the capital and palace are also quite nice" Sasha added.

OCC: My brain's stalling, I don't know what else to say.

OCC: I'm done for the night. C'ya!

Lehana smiled, "Thank you for your comments on my nation, I'm sure your nation is beautiful as well. Although, I haven't been there but I'd like to go someday."
Lehana sighed as she leaned back in her chair as the servants brought in the various foods.
"We have chicken, beef, and many other foods as you can see," Lehana said as the servants placed the dishes onto the table.

Atticus looked to her "I could take you there some day. You could see the capital. In the south there are beautiful forests and mountains. Great for outdoor activites" he said.
"Yes, it would be an honor for you to visit our nation" Dantes added

"Yes," Lehana said, "I was right; it does sound very nice there. Well, the food is here so all feel free to eat."

"So Atticus, you have a tuxedo picked out or are you going to wear your uniform?" Dantes asked as he ate "This food is delicious" he added. The others agreed.
"I've been out of the military for a few years so it wouldn't seem right to wear it. I've been trying out tuxedos, albeit difficult" Atticus replied. Atticus remembered what Lehana taught him and he ate like a gentleman.
"I'm sure the wedding's gonna be beautiful. Lehana, I'm sure you look gorgeous in your dress" Sasha added.

The queen smiled at the complaments, "Thank you Dantes, I'm glad you like the food. So Sasha, how long have you two been married?"

"Forever" Dantes said bluntly. Once more Sasha hit him in the arm.
"We've been married for fifteen years. Each year gets longer in my opinion" she said, smiling.
"Oh, she loves me." Dantes smirked.

Lehana chuckled, "Is that what I have to look forward to in married life?"

"Oh, of course not, dear" Sasha said "Atticus is a good man. Dantes is just stubborn like a mule. We love eachother, even if it doesn't look like it. Atticus will be a good husband, I can tell" she replied.

To: Queen Lehana of Tarayshia and Atticus of Kulikovo
From: The Council of the Peoples Republic of Quamarian

We are pleased of this new marriage, and hope for it to be long lasting and furfilling for both partners of this glorious relationship.We are pleased to have such a strong bond between two people who care deeply for the cause of the worker and the general people, and are especially heartened at the great joy that is to come to our friend and ally, the nation of Kulikovo, at such a great and momentous occasion.

Regards,
The Council of the Peoples Republic of Quamarian
Grand Commisar, Genralissimo of the Great Sparticist movement, Ymir
Ghakinuri

Lehana smiled, "Yes, I believe you Sasha, Atticus is a good person."
Just then Olina one of Lehana's advisors came in to the room, "Your majesty, Atticus, there is a letter here for you, well it is for your nation."
Olina handed Atticus the letter and left the room;

"Thank you Olina" replied Atticus, he didn't know what would the letter be but he opened it.

OCC: What's the letter about? Is it Quaramin's?

(OOC: Yes, Quaramin's.)

OCC: I feel dumb now.

Atticus read the letter "It's from Grand Commisar Ymri Ghakinuri! He's condratuating us on the wedding." he said
"Ymri? I wonder how he's doing. It's been a long time since we've seen him. Is he coming to the wedding?"
"It doesn't say, but it would be nice of him to come" Atticus responded.

Atticus turned to Lehana "How is Nadia fairing? I heard she went to meet some young man from some other country." Atticus asked.

Lehana grinned, "That's great! He's more than welcome to come, I take it your nation has allied with your nation for a long time?"
The queen took a sip of wine before answering Atticus's question, "I hear she's doing good," Lehana said, "Although no marriage preposal has been asked of her that I know of. She's been in Egypt for 2 months now, she and I were friends and she was also my advisor who I felt would be good for the prince."

"That's great. I'm glad to hear Nadia is having a good time. And yes, Quaramian and Kulikovo have been close allies for years." Atticus replied "I hope Ymir comes, he's a nice guy and a crafty politician"

Lehana placed a bite of the food in her mouth chewing and swallowing it before inquiring, "What do you mean he's crafty?"

"Crafty in the political sense. He's a very good politician. Wether that be good or not I don't know." Dantes replied before Atticus could. "And he's a pretty good orator. Though, I like to think I'm better" Dantes smirked. "I gave a wonderful speech when the revolution ended. It was quite powerful and moving"

Atticus nodded "I was there when he gave the speeh. The crowd was in a roar over it."

Lehana smiled and nodded, "I'm sure that was a very good speech, and I'm sure you are a fine leader, with your wife on your side."

"Thank you, I like to think I'm a good Prime Minister-" Dantes tried to say
"You are a good one" Atticus added.
"Yep, behind every strong man is a strong woman" Dantes said.

"The country would actually be lost without me" Sasha smirked.

Lehana smiled at the couple, "I think it's wonderful to see that love and joking around in a couple. Married for 15 years, my parents were married for 18 years and then my father died. My mom past away 2 years later, so when I was 18 I took the throne."

To: Queen Lehana of Tarayshia
From: President Mahan of Canadstein

We have sent three men from Canadstein to represent me there since I already had some preset occasion. There names are Chester Martin, Gordon McSweeny, and Willy Knight. They have already arrive and should be in the hotel.

From.
President Mahan


The message that was sent above was done President Mahan in the Canadstein government. President Mahan didn't know that the three men were part of a mercenary group called the Black Jacks. Someone had sent three men to do some business during the wedding. Chester and Gordon were in there room while Willy was getting something to eat.

Sasha looked at her "I'm sorry to hear about your parents." she replied.
"How's it going for you, being a queen that is" Dantes asked. Atticus sat there and continued eating, listening to the conversation.

Lehana nodded at Sasha, "Thank you Sasha, that is nice of you to say."
She turned towards Dantes then, "Well, I've been queen for 6 years now, I am very blessed to live in a peaceful nation thus far. Although, I do have a very good military if needed."

"And I hope it never needs to be used" Atticus added.
"Besides, Kulikovo has a large, well armed, well-trained and experienced military." Dantes said "We would help you out"

"I'm happy to hear that you've had a peaceful rule. And may the peace never end" Sasha replied.

OCC: Bump

Lehana smiled, "Yes, I thank you for your blessing Sasha, I'm sure on a alliance note ours will be strong and well put together."

The meal went on for a bit more, filled with light chat and some laughs. The day was winding down.
"Well, that was a fantastic meal!" Dantes said, Sasha nodded.
"Yes, I'm full as well" Atticus added.
"I suppose we'll depart for the hotel and settle in." Dantes said as he put his put his napkin to his mouth.

"Yes," Lehana said, "You can go to any of the hotels."

"Well then, we shall take our leave. It was a pleasure to meet you, Lehana. It was a good dinner and we enjoyed your company" Dantes said as he stood up, Sasha and Attcius stood up. "Atticus, nice seeing you again" he said and the two shook hands.
"Thank you Dantes, it was nice seeing you again too. And you as well, sasha" Atticus replied with a smile.

They began to depart, except for Lehana and Attcius.

The queen smiled as she stood, "It was very nice meeting all of you, you are more than welcome at the palace anytime. Have a safe trip to the hotel."
After Dantes, Sasha and the others left, Lehana turned towards Atticus, "That went well, I thought it would."

(ooc: bump)

(OOC: bump)

"Yes, it went well indeed. They seem to like you" Atticus replied and smiled. "I knew they would"

When Willy came back after getting some food. They were going with the plan now. Soon there would be no turning back. Chester had been labeled as a ambassador. In the room Gordon was checking his equiment. He would be the role as the bodyguard. Chester looked over toward Gordon.

"You ready for this?"

Gordon turned around and set down something. "I'm always ready."

Willy sat down on a couch and watched some tv while eating a apple. They all looked pretty tense. Chester was a desk writing a letter to Queen Lehana. After finishing he gave the letter to a servant to bring to the office of Queen Lehana.

To:The Office of Queen Lehana
From: Ambassador Chester Martin

The hotel building you have provided for the nation is wonderful. I personally congratulate you on marrying Atticus. President Mahan also gives his blessing. I cannot wait until the wedding comes.

Chester got up and walked out onto the balcony. He looked out toward the sky. A grin appeared over his face. Everything was set into motion.

"At first, I thought he would be a bit hostile towards you. What with you being a monarch and all. But, it seems he put his ideals on the back burner" Atticus said "Hopefully it will stay that way"

Lehana sighed then smiled, "Yeah, it seems he has for now. I hadn't even thought of that."

Meanwhile, Lehana's office had recieved the letter. Saweta read, shook her head, and thought nothing of throwing it away.
"Nice of them to say that," she commented to herself, "I myself could care less about this wedding, if only I could make my queen see the mistake she is making..."
Saweta decided to do a bit of investagation on her own, and she left the palace to go the the hotel. It was easy to find what room they were staying in, and she gathered herself before finding the room and knocking upon the door.

Atticus kissed her and said "Don't worry about it. Everything'll be just fine. Dantes won't say anything, besides, he likes you and Sasha won't let him say anything ill" he said and smiled.

- I presume you are aware of all the details about this event colonel?
The young blond man nodded:
- Of course sir.
- Then you should depart now. It is a bad omen to be late for a wedding.
- Yes sir.

Lehana smiled and kissed him back, "I believe you, I know you're right. I'm going to my rooms for a bit, and no you can't follow.no honey until the wedding night."
Lehana smirked as she laughed;

Atticus laughed "Like I would break a tradition! Alright, I'll see you later" he replied and kissed her. He thought about seeing Dantes in private, just to talk. He wanted to catch up on old times.

Lehana laughed as she began to leave the room, "good for you, any planns for tonight?"

"Oh, I was going to go and talked to Dantes some more. It's been awhile since I've seen him last. I'm sure he has lots to tell me" Atticus replied "You?"

Lehana thought a moment, "I'm most likely going to get last minute things done in order for the wedding, but first I think I'll lay down; the sun takes it out of you. Have fun with Dantes and tell him that I say thank you for coming."

Atticus smiled "Will do"

Atticus made his way to the hotel where Dantes and the others were staying. They were all on the same floor. The two cabinet members were in one room, Dantes and Sasha in another and the guards were in other rooms. Dantes was standing on the balcony, smoking a cigar. sasha was reading on the couch. Atticus said hello and went out on the balcony.
"Hello Dantes, Lehana thanks you all for coming" Atticus said. Dantes blew out some smoke and replied
"It's nice to be here. Atticus, I have to talk to you about something. The Ministry of Propoganda wants to have your citizenship revoked and want you denounced as a traitor" Dantes said in a serious voice.
"Wh-Why? I didn't do anyhting wrong" Atticus was stunned, yet expected it as well.
"The hard-liners believe that you becoming king makes you a traitor. A traitor to socialism and everything we stand for. And you know that too. I and others in the cabinet and General Assembly have been stalling them."
"That's bullshit! Do they know that I won't have any power. hell, I'll have less power than a ceremonial figure head! Those bastards are just jealous that I was chosen to be Premier." Atticus shouted.
"I think that's why they're doing it as well. I'm just telling you this. They'll try to publicly denounce you and you'll never be able to enter Kulikovo again"
"I'm a war hero! I bled for Kulikovo and helped to make it what it is. It seems I can't get married without them blasting their mouths!"
"I'll have the Tarayshian government researched and looked over. To show them proof that you'll have no power, but It'll be hard. They might not listen"
"I've come to the point where I don't care. They can banish me if they want. All I have are sorrowful memories and a few good ones. I love Lehana and I won't marry her just to stay on the good side of those desk jockies!" Atticus shouted.

Chester turned around when he heard the door knock. Gordon quickly closed the suitcase to reveal it had a false bottom. It now showed cloths. Willy was startled but went back to what he was doing. Chester went up to the door and opened it. He saw a woman. On his face he started to blush. She was beautiful. In a second he gained composure.

"You might you be? I'm Ambassador Martin from Canadstein."

Chester looked at the woman.

Saweta smiled at the man whom she thought was handsome, "My name is Saweta, I am advisor to the queen Lehana. May I come in and speak with you?"

"Yes," Chester kissed her hand and led her inside. He closed the door behind her. "Oh Saweta, this is Willy Knight and Gordon McSweenty. They work with me." Willy and Gordon both said hello then went out the door to see some of the shops, and to not bother Chester. Chester lead her to a chair that sat near a table and across from another chair. Standing up he looked toward her. "Do you want anything to drink?" Chester started to pour himself alittle bit of brandy.

Atticus hit his fist against the railing in anger. "It's Pershov, isn't it?" he asked "He's had it in for me for a while. Is he mad he wasn't chosen. He's the one who started the whole calling me 'the kid politician' I wonder what he'll call me next. He's always slandering me."
Dantes took another puff of his cigar "Yes, it's him. Most people know everything he says is false. The People's Finance Committee is still investigating him for fraud. I guess he's trying to take the spotlight off of him" Dantes replied. They continued with the topic for some time.

"So, excited about the wedding?" Dantes asked.
"I'm excited and nervous at the same time" Atticus replied
"I felt the same way when I was getting married. I felt like I didn't deserve to be with Sasha. A million questions buzzed through my head. But, all the anxiety is worth it. Lehana is a good woman. When I first heard of what was happening I was a bit angry. You lied about your reasons to go. And you're marrying a monarch. But, I am over that and wish you two well." Dantes said and patted him on the back. He did it roughly and it hurt Atticus's scars a little.
"Thank you Dantes. I don't know if I was the best of the rest at the banquet. But she chose me." Atticus replied.
"She made the right choice.You're ten times better than those pompus spoiled royals" Dantes smirked.

Saweta smiled at each of them, "It's nice to meet all of you."
She then nodded as the others left and she smiled as the remaining man sat her down.
"I'd like brandy," Saweta replied to his question. After he had handed her the drink she took a sip and placed it back on the table.
"So," Saweta began, "I'm surprised to see three men attending my queen's wedding, are any of them single? I'm a straight forward person, and so I will say it bluntly I do not wish for this wedding to take place. Queen Lehana is making a huge mistake in marrying Atticus. I am a smart woman sir, as far as I know no one accepted your arival to our nation and there are three of you. Perhaps I may be wrong, however what exactly is going on?"

Meanwhile, the queen and two of her maids were doing last minute gown adjustments onto the beautiful gown that was Lehana's wedding dress.
"This is going to look wonderful on you," Deluca one of her maids said, "Atticus will fall in love all over again with you."
Lehana smiled, "Thank you, I do love the gown a lot; I'm glad it was handmade it just gives it that extra, look somehow."
Deluca nodded, "It is a fine dress your majesty, let me just take in this seem here and we'll be all finished."
"That sounds good," Lehana replied, "I want this gown to look perfect next Saturday."

His capital airship was under way as it was making its 4 hour trip to the nation Tarayshia that is having the wedding.
In his quarter’s he sat there in his chair thinking if he made the right choice by coming to this wedding, true it would be a good place to meet other nations there would be the questions of his dictatorship style over his people even though they enjoy this.
He may be labeled as some tyrant with some class..
Though he changes his thought as to the gift he had crafted for them, which will be beautiful for rare few rulers would make a gift them self..
His viewing screen was patched into the view and to the bridge.
“Caption.. I hope you have also entertainment on my behalf as well?”
The caption now turns to him bowing.
“Why yes Yuri we have your other containers aboard as well with a hologram telecommunication device as well.”
Yuri Kovak nodded at this and waved him off back to his work, though this outing has indeed brought up moral since his last appearance though he still sought someone that would fit what he looked for in a mate.
Though the other video line was on as he looked and saw Fafia’s room empty as he sighed saying this.
“You always seem to find me no matter what I say don’t you..?
You should be in your room being ready instead of sneaking around to be with me..”
She looked cute at him once in the eyes sitting on his lap giving him the cute pouting kitten face..
“But..
I just wanted to not be alone in there by my self handsome…
And you did invite me, and give me the credits for this dress…
I got it because it reminds me of your eyes..”
He sighed at this saying this now.
“Fine. You can stay but just don’t bother me while I’m working…
You’re like a daughter I never had.”
She brightened up at his comment and hugged and kissed his mask leaving a lip impression of the lipstick she put on.
Though whipping it off with a handkerchief as she sat herself on the couch pulling out her small hologram that seemed old and well kept.
“Still have that don’t you..?”
He said this for a moment staring back at the screen intently at the view of the sky.
“This was the first gift you gave me when we met..
Of course I would treasure it.”
She said this going back to listening to the tune as it showed that he had danced before though never seeing why he hadn’t any more.

Some time later as the airship approached into Tarayshia territory the Caption giving the transmission of this.
“This is the Dal Gesh, Capital Air Ship ‘Dark Moon’ with our Ruler Yuri Kovak, guest, and his present. Requesting assistance of guide to the airport in which closest to the reserved buildings for the wedding of your queen.”

In the tower above the Tarayshian airport, Peter Lacks heard the radio come to life with the message of the palit.
Peter picked up the message and replied, "Permission for Dal Gesh to land."

Chester picked up his glass and took a drink of his brandy. This brandy was good. Putting down his glass he looked at Saweta. "Oh about the arrival thing President Mahan sent you a letter to your government. I guess it just got lost. So President Mahan sent us and not to wait for a reply. When we got here I just wanted to state that the Canadstein government would be represented. Also I don't believe that Queen Lehana should marry Atticus." Chester did really feel that. That problem would be soon fullfill.

Saweta took another drink of her brandy before smiling, "Why do you say that? Why don't you want Lehana to marry Atticus? I'd like a reason, also to know what you're planning."
Saweta leaned forward, exposing the cleavage in her top;

Oh look, a bump!

Atticus and Dantes continued talking for a while. They discussed the problems back home, old war stories, and the wedding. Atticus had a cigar himself and puffed the smoke into the dark sky. Sasha called out for Dantes.
"Well Atticus, I think me and the misses will turn in for the night" Dantes said to Atticus.
"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow" Atticus responded "Goodnight Sasha"
"Good night Atticus" she replied.

Atticus made his way back and to his room where he slumped in a chair.

Meanwhile at the palace, Lehana was growing anoyed, "Can I get out of this dress already? I mean, I love it and all however it's driving me crazy that I've been in it for so long."
"Alright," a maid replied as a few minutes later Lehana stood in her under garments while she went through a dresser to try and find something comfortable to wear.
"Finally," she breathed as she pulled out a tank top and shorts and slipped them on. Lehana, for not the first time in her life thanked the spirits for having a year-round climate.
Lehana walked out of her room, and when she was sure no one was watching her she dashed off towards Atticus's room. When she got there, she knocked on the door and waited.

Atticus was just about to nod off when there was a knock at the door. It startled him and he rubbed his eyes "Huh?" he said and got up and opened the door.
"Lehana?" he said "What's going on?"

Lehana smiled, "I'm sorry, were you asleep? I can leave, I just wanted to see what you were up to, I didn't even know you were back."

"Halt! Who approaches?"

"We are the ambassadors from the Republic of Elgernon, we come on behalf of our beloved chancellor. We are here for the wedding."

The guards at the gate checked the list; there were no delegates from Elgernon to be expected.

"You're not on the list. We can't let you through."

"Oh pardon us, we must have forgotten. We have our documents with us, if you men will just come over to our things here and help us look for them. They have a seal on them like the ones on the chests of our uniforms." The leader of the black clad men indicated a crest on the left breast of his shirt. It was a red symbol that resembled a scythe with two blades.

Reluctantly the guards followed the delegates to their trunks. Upon opening them the guards found them to be empty. Before they could turn around they were hit hard on the back of the head and put into the trunks.

Under the cover of night the three men in black uniform from Elgernon entered the gate and headed for what they assumed was the palace. They had work to do yet before the night was over.

Unfortunately for them not one of the three noticed the red blinking light of the palace surveillance system.

"How important do you think this wedding is to Lehana?" One of the men mused.

"I don't know. We'll just have to find out."

"No, it's perfectly alright. Just a bit tired. No big problem though." Atticus replied and smiled "I got back a bit after talking with Dantes. He and Sasha told me to thank you for the hospitality. I'm not up to much, you?"

Lehana sighed, "I was getting last minute adjustments for my wedding gown. After hours it seemed to me, I was finally finished with it."

"Cheer up. That parts out of the way at least" Atticus replied

Walking through the corridors of the Palace after having thrown the trunks into a decorative pond the three men from Elgernon heard an interesting phrase emanate from one of the doors. "I do not wish this wedding to take place"

"See, and you thought this would be hard." The leader of the crew smiled as he stopped at the door and knocked. The other two looked expectantly.

"Go on, I'll meet you at noon tomorrow, you still have a mission to fulfill."

Their leader, Sidd, waited at the door to be admitted. The other two only made it down two more hallways before security noticed them from the cameras at the gate. They Promptly gnashed their back teeth, popping the poison filled false teeth, they died in moments. Sidd would be left on his own in his nations plot.

Lehana smiled, "Well. you have a point, now I won't have to wear it until the wedding day. I can't believe it's just a few days from now."

Chester finished his brandy after talking. He listened to Saweta very clearly. When Chester saw the cleavage in her top he started to turn bright red. Saweta was very beautiful. "I say that because I don't like Atticus. He is both a coward and a fool and doesn't deserve Lehana. Oh, planning to do nothing since it seems like it will happen." Chester saw it was getting close to dinner. "Do you want to go to dinner? I will take you anywhere you want, Saweta."

(OOC: Your people aren't in the palace, they are in the hotel where Saweta and the other guy Chester are.)

IC:
Saweta looked at the door, not knowing if she should say anything or not. She decided that since she didn't know what was going on, she'd wait for a reply from the man across from her. She crossed her long legs, showing the smooth skin under her skirt.
She was willing to do anything to stop the wedding, and find out what was going to happen.

"I know. It feels like it snuck up on me. It's going to be wonderful. I'm a bit nervous, but more happy" Atticus replied, smiling "And you'll never have to try on another wedding dress again. And I won't get into it with the tailor" he smirked.

Lehana leaned forward and kissed him, "Well, you can believe me that you won't have to deal with this again."

''To Queen Lehana of the nation of Tarayshia
From: Emperor Ferdinand XII of Free Rommelwood

I congratulate you on your marriage to Atticus of Kulikovo. I hope you two have a peaceful and prosperous marriage. Also, if you are allowing for foreigners to come to a wedding banquet, I may be able to send someone, I will have to check on it.

Congratulations!

Sincerly,
Ferdinand XII''

Atticus held her "Deal with what? I think it's all rather interesting. Although it is a bit stressful. We're only getting married once and this is an occasion to soak in and enjoy. All the plannings done with, that's the hardest part" he replied and kissed her back.

OOC-I may not be able to send anyone because of my RL schedule and other things.

Chester looked at Saweta. He couldn't tell her about the plan yet. Seem she could be help, but she worked for Lehana. That wasn't good so Chester would have to learn more about. "Oh must of not heard me do you want to get some dinner?"

Saweta smiled, "Sure, what would you like; after all you are the guest in the nation not I."

The queen rested her head upon Atticus's shoulder, "It's late, I'll let you get some sleep. Thank you for being so understanding, I love you Atticus."

"My pleasure. I love you too" Atticus replied shoftly and kissed her. "Goodnight"

Lehana kised him again, "Goodnight, sleep well."
She stood up and opened the door; then turned to Atticus with a thoughtful expression on her face, "Atticus, have you seen Saweta lately? I haven't seen her all day, I figured I'd ask you seeing as how you two are such good friends."
Lehana laughed as the words fell from her lips;

Atticus laughed "Sorry, haven't seen her" he replied "I hope she hasn't been struck by lightning" he smirked.

OCC: I'm done for tonight. I have a busy day tomorrow and need sleep. Bye

(OOC: Have an awesome time at the prom, good luck!!)
:)

Saweta smiled, "Sure, what would you like; after all you are the guest in the nation not I."

Chester took the his empty glass and set it down at the counter. After hearing Saweta he replied. "What do you want? I don't really care. I will eat wherever you want to go." Chester then returned back to his chair.

The advisor smiled at Chester, "We have seafood places, as well as hamburger places;etc. I love seafood especially shrimp."
Saweta leaned forward seductively, "Or, we could have dinner in here; and then stay here. My queen won't notice that I'm gone for the night."

"Did you want to go for a walk or something?" Atticus asked "I'm not really that tired, unless you're tired then we can do it another time" he said.

Lehana stopped and turned, "Sure, a walk wouldn't hurt; besides I can put off talking with the cooks for the wedding, I'll talk to them tomorrow. I just want to talk about something else for a while; I have absolutely nothing against our wedding planns, just feeling stressed out when that's all people around you bring up. I'm sure you know how it is."
The queen walked back in the room with Atticus, "Do you need your shoes? I can wait for you."

The Dal Gesh air ship had just landed as Fifia and Yuri Kovak walked into the loading bay of the air ship.
“We will have to use their provided transportation since I’m not one up to riding in one of the guard trucks..”
He said this as he saw the rectangle person sized gift loaded onto one of the four guard trucks.
As another item was loaded onto it as well, though his people were getting use to the sight of his Kalome troopers were a bit unsettling to look upon maybe by others as the only thing you could see was a metal like skull inside the armor suit.
“Let’s find where they will be awaiting us… that may be inside the airport.”
He said this as he saw something approaching while two of his Kalome troopers stood there looking as well.
The hum and noises of personnel aboard could be heard coming out of the loading bay opening as finally the trucks were ready to follow.

Chester looked at Saweta. He was still red. She was a beautiful lady. Deep inside he wanted to kiss her, but that might blow his cover. "I think we should eat here. So I will go ask a servant to get some food for us. Do you want anything else besides shrimp?" Chester refilled his glass and refilled Saweta's glass. Then he went to the door and opened the door slighted. He waited for a response.

Willy and Gordon were having dinner at a resturant. Willy and Gordon had a close friendship. They had been friends since they were young. Willy and Gordon finished so they decided to walk.

"You know what Gordon you are the best friend I have ever had. If we die on the mission I will be right next to you."

She smiled as he leaned close, however as he stood up to go get the dinner she turned towards Chester, "I'll have shrimp and some chicken, you go get whatever you want."

From the control tower, Peter sent 10 guards to go see the new comers Fifiaand Yuri.
"Hello your majesty," a guard named Samuel Brigs greeted the two people, "We welcome you both to the nation of Tarayshia."

Taking a moment to look the guard over as his response was.
“I do hope you have brought a vehicle that can take my weight..
But treat this lovely lady to a vehicle of lavish beauty..
And secondly, just call me Yuri..”
He said this with a couch following this as the imposing Kalome trooper that was nearest him instinctively moved to support him in any case.
“Yea please show me will you? I don’t want to give him any more stress.”
She smiled cutely at the guard that was how she was being polite.
At that Yuri smiled gently at the thought of her having fun to enjoy herself though said this.
“If she’s been touched even once know I will be very angry… but I will ride in one of the guard trucks, since they can carry my weight.”

Chester found a servant and asked. "May I please have shrimp and some chicken. Also can I also have some lobster. Thank you can you deliver that food to my room?" Chester pointed toward his room. Then went back inside. He sat down back at the table. Chester grabbed his glass and took a drink of brandy. Putting down his glass. He held both of Saweta's hand. "I have ordered are dinner. I hope you like it, Saweta. I'm getting the lobster. It should be delivered soon." Chester came closer to Saweta, but still held one of her hands.

The small private jet, covered with anti-radar painting landed on the Tarashyan airstrip. The ten tarashyan soldiers sent to escort the representative from the Borderlands immediately standed to attention. But their eyes bulged as the first one to come out from the jet was a soldier in powered armor, the ground almost shaking under his heavy feet. He looked arrogantly at the tarashyan escort from his height of 2.3 meters and some of them actually reached for their weapons. Then next to come out however was a tall, smiling blonde man with a plain uniform without any unnecessary decorations. He went to the still shocked tarashyan officer and passd him his papers.
- Pardon Boris for his lack of manners. I'm colonel Franz Kepler, representative of the Waffen SS.

"How come you get to go into my room and I can't go in yours when you're there. Better not try anything funny" Atticus joked "No need to wait, we're goin' to walk along the beach" Atticus replied and took her hand and they began to walk. "I know it's all stressful, but just hang in there."

Lehana smiled at Atticus, "Why, I would never try anything.."
She smirked as she took his hand and they walked in silence until the sands of the beach touched there feet.
"Well," Lehana said, "It is in a few days, and so far everything is going well."

Saweta smiled at Chester as he relayed his message. As he came closer to her she whispered, "You're going to kiss me now, aren't you?"

One of the guards did looked shock, "Yes sir, you may ride in one of the trucks; as for the young lady we have a limmo that will take you both to one of our hotels if you wish."

"I think I will kiss you, Saweta." Chester moved over to Saweta then lightly kissed her on the lips. He kissed her for five seconds then went back to his seat. Chester's face was very red. "I love you Saweta."

Saweta liked the kiss, and as his words registered in her brain she gave a light smirk. She didn't believe Chester when he spoke the words, but she smiled and said, "That's a nice thing to say."

"Yep" Atticus replied as the water hit his feet.Atticus stopped and looked to the sky and said "The stars are out tonight"

Chester held her hand. He wondered if Saweta felt the same way he did about her. On his face he started to turn back to normal. The red slowly started to go away slowly. Then there was a knock on the door. Chester got up and found a servant. The servant held the meal. Chester opened the door and in came the servant. The servant dropped off the food at the table then went back out the door. Chester closed the door and sat down. Then he looked at Saweta. "Does everything look good to you?" Chester's lobster looked fine to him.

Saweta surveyed the food and nodded aprovingly, "Yes Chester, everything looks great. My queen may not be the smartest woman, but I will say that her servants our loyal."
Saweta began to eat her dinner and after a few bites she said, "I was thinking, perhaps we could discuss your planns? You can trust me Chester, you can trust the woman that you say you love."
Her eyes met his own, not wavering from there spot;

Lehana held Atticus's hand as she gazed at the stars, "I've always loved the stars, they have a majesty of there own."

"They sure do" Atticus said "During the revolution I would look up to the stars at night and it was very calming."

Lehana lowered her eyes, "I can relate to you there, when my mom died I'd look at the stars; sometimes I wish I weren't a queen, I could just leave all this and just go somewhere; to not have anything to worry about."

Atticus embraced her "Perhaps you could arrange to take a break from all this" he said softly.

Lehana sighed, "Perhaps after the wedding and such."

Lehana sighed, "Perhaps after the wedding and such."

"Cheer up" Atticus said and kissed her "It'll be grand"

Lehana smiled as she leaned against him, "I know you are right."

''Yeah, I am right" he smirked "I'll take you to southern Kulikovo, that would be a nice relaxing vacation"

Lehana smiled, "Yeah, we deserve a honeymoon after the wedding, we can go there for maybe 2 or 3 weeks."

"Sounds fantastic, there's so much to do there. It'll be a grand time" Atticus replied. A change of scenery and absence of duties, and I will help you relax"

Lehana grinned, "I can't wait! What's to do there? What's it like?"

"There's scenic views of the mountains and forests. Hunting, camping, hiking, fishing, and such stuff. The place is so beautiful, you being there would magnify it" Atticus said.

Lehana smiled, "You're very Sweet Atticus, I love you."

"I love you too" Atticus replied in a soft voice and kissed her. "We'll even skip the whole formal part, no banquets, no meeting diplomats or making speeches. You won't even be Queen. We'll just go there as Atticus and Lehana, the newly weds"

“I mean it guard..
If she is touched I will be VERY angry..
She has seen me angry only once and that time had become an incident to memory.”
Yuri Kovak said this as he coughed waving an arm once for the nearest guard truck to pull up.
“I will follow this limo you have for my daughter..”
Without another word he entered the guard truck with some assistance by his Kalome troopers.
“He gets cranky sometimes since he’s sick..
If you could ask your queen that he’s ill for me? He went along so he could meet others and possibly I think he’s looking for love.”
She says this dragging the poor guard along wondering where the limo was.

Saweta surveyed the food and nodded aprovingly, "Yes Chester, everything looks great. My queen may not be the smartest woman, but I will say that her servants our loyal."
Saweta began to eat her dinner and after a few bites she said, "I was thinking, perhaps we could discuss your planns? You can trust me Chester, you can trust the woman that you say you love."
Her eyes met his own, not wavering from there spot;

Chester looked directly at Saweta. She seemed like she could be trusted. While she was talking he ate his lobster. Once he finished he got up. On a phone he called Gordon and Willy. They were coming back to the hotel room. He sat back down and looked at Saweta. "I trust you Saweta. So I will tell you why were really here. We are going to kidnap Queen Lehana, Saweta. Just to kidnap nothing more. We will not hurt her. During the wedding we plan on kidnapping her." Gordon and Willy knew what was happening. They came back in and listened. Gordon went over to the suitcase and opened up the false bottom. He removed the machine guns he had and grenades. Then he checked each one. "Saweta this is the true. Also if you tell anyone you will be killed Saweta. I wouldn't want to do this, but I trusted you and you betrayed me."

The young woman looked up in surprise, "Why do you want to kidnap Lehana?"
Then as the other men came back, and one of them threatened to kill her; Saweta shrunk back from the other man, "H how did I betray you? I don't even know you!"
Saweta turned towards Chester, "Tell them that they can trust me, I won't say anything."

Lehana laughed, "I'll settle for that not being queen stuff."

"Oh Gordon meant if you in the future will betray us. My men trust me enough to do the right thing." Chester reassured Saweta.

Saweta sighed, "Oh well, I can understand that now. So, exactly why do you want to kidnap Lehana?"

Atticus held her "Yeah, it does sound nice not to have any worries" he responded.

"We have orders to. Somone sent us in. So we are going to follow the orders. Even if that means that we die." Chester replied. He might of thought the true person behind this was President Mahan or someone in the War Department.

Saweta smiled, "I realize that you have orders, but does anyone know why your leader wants to kidnap Lehana?"

Lehana smiled up at Atticus, "Yeah, all we need is to get through this wedding; so far everything is going to plann with it."

"I don't even know who the leader of this is. It might be someone in the government since we have government weapons." Chester replied he ate some more of his lobster.

"The wedding will be grand. You'll be beautiful, I'll be handsome" he smirked "The ceremony may not be fun, but it won't be that bad. After we're married, I'll take you to southern Kulikovo and we'll have a great time" Attcius said.

Saweta took a drink of her brandy, "It could be, I think it's for ramsome personally which is why the leader may want Lehana. She has no enimies as far as I know and I work very close with her. She's been a good queen thus far until she chose Atticus as her husband."

Lehana smirked, "Sounds like a plan to me, it'll be nice to get away for a few weeks, and have a time to just be husband and wife. Not king and queen or none of that stuff, just two normal people on vacation. I can put Margo in charge, I trust her."

"I don't think the our leader wants to hold her ransome. So what help can I get from you?" Chester replied. He knew that Saweta could be big help to the team.

"Can't wait till we can get away, Mrs. Lehana Konovski" Atticus said. "That has a nice ring to it"

Saweta sighed, figuring that two could play at Chester's game.
"Chester," she began, "I think you do know why whoever it is wants Lehana; and if it's not for ramsome, then what is it?"
She smirked, "As for how I can help you, you name it, I can make it happen; no problem."

The queen got a thoughtful expression on her face, "Yeah it really does, I hadn't tested it out before like that. Lehana Konovski, sounds good!"

"Well from what I have heard it's about Lehana. The person wants to do something to her Lehana, but it's not going to hurt her. Oh good so you will help us. We want to get inside and not be checked. We are brining weapons with us. Also let Willy over there into army base to get a helicopter and maybe a map of the area where the wedding is taking place. Do you want to go out toward the balcony?" Chester got up from his chair and was right next to Saweta.

Atticus smiled "Shall we continue our walk? Or do you want to go back inside?" he asked.

Saweta looked up at Chester, "I don't think it's a good idea to go on the balcony, someone may overhear us discussing our planns."
Saweta thought a moment, "What does he want to do to Lehana?"

Lehana looked up, "What do you want to do?"

Atticus thought for a moment "Shall we continue our walk, madam?" he asked and held out his arm like a gentleman.

Dantes sat at the balcony. He had a gut feeling that something wasn't right. Dantes became very cautious and a tad bit paranoid over the years. There were several attempts on his life, one of them saw two bullets being put in him. He had lots of enemies, in Kulikovo and outside. He went to the phone and called Chief Director Lancervich of the Foreign Security Bureau.
"Hello, this is Lancerich"
"Hello, Valerik. It's Dantes"
"Yes sir, what can I do for you?" he asked
"As you know, I'm in Tarayshia to attend a wedding-"
"Between Atticus Konovski and Lehana"
"You guys over at FSB don't miss a thing" Dantes laughed "I would like some added security. You know how I am"
"Will do right away, sir. There's something else. We've uncovered certain documents and wire taps in Canadstein government and office buildings, something isn't right." lancervich responded in a serious voice.
"What would that be?"
"We'll take care of it, enjoy the wedding, sir"
"Okay, thank you"
"It's our job sir" Lancervich responded.

Atticus and Lehana walked down along the beach, the waves spalshing on the shore. The air was warm and the sky was dark.
"Did you ever find out what happened with Saweta?" he asked

"Do you think you can do these things for us Saweta?" Chester took his plate and put it down near the front of the room. "Are you finished?" Chester hadn't been that close to women become. Most of his time was out in the field. The military sometimes payed his mercenary group, The Black Jacks. So he didn't have the much time for women. Saweta was a very nice woman plus she was beautiful.

Lancervich leaned back in his chair. He hit the intercom and requested Colonel Keppler. Keppler was a veteran and still active. He is unofficaly head of the SAO (Special Actions and Operations).
"Yes, sir" Keppler said at attention.
"I want SAO Group 5 deployed to Tarayshia, to oversee security at the wedding. Have your men keep a low profile." Lancervich replied.
"Do you expect trouble?"
"We have a lead and are persuing it. If something comes up, your orders will change. Contact the group leader and have them depart as soon as possible."
"Yes sir" Keppler replied and left.

Several hours later SAO Group 5 arrived in the capital of Tarayshia, secretly. They would keep an eye out for any trouble. FSB continued tracking down leads and reviewing data.

"Actually no," Lehana replied to Atticus's question, "I haven't seen her all day as a matter of fact."

Oh well" Attcius replied "I guess I'll see my friend later" he smiled. And the two of them continued to walk along the beach.

Saweta gave a sweet smile, "I can help you and I will, however I want something;and I wish to know something in return. First of all, if you get rid of Lehana, since she has no heir to her throne that makes me first in line to be queen. However, if Lehana comes back from your country then I won't be queen anymore, I wish to be queen. Secondly, I wish to know, "exactly," what your leader has planned for Lehana. If you let me know, I'll be glad to help you."
She winked at Chester, "Have you ever thought of ruling your own country Chester? Think of it, king Chester and queen Saweta."

"Well from what I have heard Queen Lehana will live the rest of her life in the mountains in Canadstein. She will be guarded by Willy and Gordon and some other memebers of the Black Jack. Oh King wouldn't be a bad to be." Chester replied.

Saweta became confused, "Why the mountains of Canadstein? What reason is there?"

"It pretty rural and not that many people live out there. Plus the orders are to drop her off there, So are you going to help me with the stuff I need?" Chester replied.

Saweta smirked, "Sure, although I'd like to know what's going on with kidnapping Lehana in the first place. However I'll help you just as long as we keep the lines of comunication open if you know what I mean. In case you do not, it means that we tell each other everything."

Interesting storyline. An advisor wanting to get rid of the Queen. Nice job.

Lehana and Atticus continued walking down the beach, talking, laughing and enjoying eachothers company. After some time they were getting a distance away from the palace.
"I think we should probably head back, if you want" Atticus said to her.

"I will tell you everything. Sorry I don't know that much about why we are kidnapping Queen Lehana. Where mercenary just told what to do and not ask questions. Oh look at the time. Queen Lehana might wonder where you are. You know where you can find me Saweta." Chester lead her to the door then gave her a long passoinate kiss. Once he was finished he opened to the door. "Bye, Saweta."

Saweta smiled, "It's fine, yes I know where to find you."
After kissing Chester back Saweta left, unsure of what she was doing or exactly why she was doing it.

Lehana turned and gazed back at the palace, "Yes, we should be getting back; it's getting late."

"Okay, sounds fine with me" Atticus replied and they began to walk back, back towards all that they were trying to get away from for just a short time.

The two of them walked back in silence, both consumed by there own thoughts. When they arrived back at the palace, they saw Saweta walking by.
"Hi Saweta," Lehana called out, "How are you? Where have you been?"
The advisor jumped and spun to face the queen looking at her, "What?"
"I said," Lehana began thinking it odd for her her to act that way, "I said how are you and where have you been?"
"I'm fine, I was out have a nice night you two," Saweta replied as she turned back around and changed direction. The queen shrugged and looked at Atticus.
"That was odd."

(OOC: Oh look, I see a bump!)

Chester closed the door behind her. Gordon was finished checking the equiment in the suit case. Willy was already sleeping. Gordon was going to sleep soon. Chester wondered if Saweta could be trusted, but he still did. Time would tell.

- Why do you allways insist on wearing this thing?.- the young colonel asked as his friend tried to squeeze through the door of the hotel room while still in full armor. - we are not on a frontline.
- You know Franz, that I will enter foreign country without an armor only as a prisoner of war.
The colonel sighed:
- Of course, but still you will have to make an exception this time. I doubt the security will let us see their majesties if you try to enter like that.
Boris laughed:
- Then I'll just twist their arms and we will enter anyway. Do you really think they can stop me with those pistols they got?
- Watch your mouth, we are not here to start a conflict. Huh I wonder why did I decide to take you anyway...
- Because you can't find anyone else thrustworthy, who can drink 3 litres of vodka in a roll and bring down an infantry batallion in the meantime.
Franz smiled for a second:
- Pardon me how could I forget...

(OOC: Bump)

Atticus was a bit befuddled. Something was on saweta's mind "Yes, that was odd, I wonder what's wrong with her?" he asked. Lehana didn't know so they decided to call in a night "Good night Lehana, I love you" he said and kissed her good night.

Lehana kissed him back, "yes Atticus, have a good night and sleep well."

Dantes called out "Sasha, I'm going for a walk"
"Don't be long, it's pretty late!" she called back.
"Yes dear" he replied and walked out of the building. He needed a walk to clear his mind. Along the way his cellphone rang, he forgot to turn it off but he picked it up none the less.
"Yes?"
"It's Lancervich, sir. The team is almost in place. There will be nothing to worry about." he replied.
"What about the whole investigation, did anything turn up?"
"Yes sir, some very interesting things. But, you know who intelligence reports can be. So, the team will just do security. They may be watching you right now."
"I'll rest easy" Dantes chuckled.
"Sir, it may be best to inform Mr.Konovski as to the teams' presence, just incase, there is a number that can be used to talk directly with teamleader."
"Okay" Dantes said a Lancervich gave the number "Thanks alot, bye" he said and hung up. Dantes thought about his gut feeling, it rarely failed him.
