In the city of Solara, Damian Orlov was flipping through the high society pages of the Solara Free Press. Ironwell's premier source for gossip had caught his eye this morning. Particularly the eligible Nordic princess on page C3.

"Rene," he called to his butler, "look at this! She's gorgeous, cultured, and look at those strong eyes. I think I'm in love."

The trusty old butler rolled his eyes, time for another mad quest around the world.

"I'll prepare the jet." Rene said to his employer, preparing for another adventure in love.



Damian Orlov is Ironwell's most eligible bachelor. The sole surviving heir to the Orlov millions after his parents were killed in Africa on safari, Damian inherited the family shipping fortune at the tender age of 10. Since then he's travelled the world in search of new adventures and knowledge with his butler Rene Nordstrom at his side. At 18 he joined the Republican Air Force and became a decorated MiG fighter pilot, serving with distinction for five years. Leaving the day to day running of Ironheart Stamship Lines to his advisors he is a constant figure on the national social scene and a best selling recording artist wioth his band The Imperial Rock Love Force.

The Empire shall let this young thrill seeker to enter the Empire, but you will be a disadvantage due to you not being of a politically active family.

So please land at the city of Valdra's airport.

As Damian's plane was cresting the horizon, Rene came back with the Empire's landing clearance. They young traveller read the notice for a second.

"Hmmmm, not politically active. Well, this girl's probably been surrounded by boring political types, regents, stuffy princes and all the like. Hardly a disadvantage by my eyes, eh old chum?" he said to his butler.

"Precisely, Master Damian. Now just in case we need to look resplendent in the coming days I've packed your old dress uniform and a few things."

"You know Rene, I have an idea. The Princess Elanor needs passion, flair. Try and and reasselbe the band and have them meet us, better yet we'll pick them up!"

Rene pondered his employer's latest plot as he reviewed the dossiers he kept of the bandmates. Could The Imperial Rock Love Force melt the ice princess's heart?


20 nautical miles off the coast of Pasamica, Republican Naval Ship Athena

Sasha Brightmore landed the Harrier jet on the deck of the Republican Navy's aircraft carrier deployed to the region. As she stepped onto the flight deck the crew chief ran up with a message. As she scanned it over she thought to herself, "Hmm, where did I leave that keyboard?"

A hidden arena in the Armed Republic of Kraigikztan

The young boy ran up to the hut.

"Mr. Bear, Mr. Bear!" he called to the man inside. Lando "The Bear" St. Clair was a giant of a man, he looked up as his young friend brought him the satellite phone, after a few minutes he set down the phone.

"After the match, dig out my drums. We're going to Scandinvina it seems. But not before the match. Toniight I fight for glory, tomorrow for love!"

The Bear hoisted the young desert boy on his shoulders, setting him down as he stepped into the ring.

A small temple on Mount Fuji

Gendo Hasegawa began his long walk down the mountain path, he turned to face his young pupil who ran after him.

"Master? Where are you going?"

He just smiled and replied "I am needed somwhere else it seems."

Gendo cast off the robe to reveal his leather jacket and dusty jeans and passed it the pupil. He picked up his guitar case and began down the path.

"The path to Zen is better as a lone journey anyways, trust me."

The e-mail he recieved at the bottom confirmed his intuition, it was time to rock.

OOC: Inbound

The Vetakan Defence Air Force 32rd Squadron was tasked with the transportation of the Political Elite and Military Elite around the world. The 32rd Squadron operated a number of very posh jets. Todays flight was of no exception. The Challenger Bombardier 604 soured through the skies. The Vetakan Flag and full nation name where embezzeld down the side. Aboard the plane was the most powerful and high ranking Vetakan besides that of the President himself. He was Supreme Operational Commander Jonathon James Stone. He sat in a private room towards the rear of the plane in what had been a study but was now a make shift meditation room. Stone himself sat in the traditional Tribal meditation position similar to that of the Lotus position.

He was relaxing clearing his mind and ultimatly praying to the gods for luck, fortune and the good health of himself, the other candidates and of course the Princess. It was a long 9 hour flight to meet her. However from what he had seen and heard it was going to worth it. On the desk lay two boxes 1 a long rectanglular and other a medium size square one. The Long Rectangle contained a Sword made by stone himself as a gift for the Emperor the other a Tribal Pendant enclosed in a box again both made by Stone himself for the Princess. The Pendant had been blessed by all of Elders to bring Good Health, Luck and Protection.

They where now 5 hours into the flight and Stone had been in meditation for 5 Hours this was an amazement in itself seen as the plane had experienced a wee bit of Turbulance. A White-Phoenix Tribe member is required to meditate twice a day once in the morning for an hour and once in the evening. He was now stiring from the meditative state. Eventually he was now fully returned to consiousnous. He stood gathered his balance and made his way back to the main room of the plane. He sat down and called for his Steward. Whom entered the room almost immediatly he was Stones Closest Friend and also his personal Assistant:

"Hello Peters that was a long Session. How long till we arrive at The Glorious Empire of The Scandinvans? Oh and can you bring me some lunch I am Starving?"

"We are about 4 Hours off and Of Course Stone" replied Peters

Peters was the only person whom worked for Stone that was permitted to call him by his Surname. It was to show their friendship and bond. Stone now picked up the paper and began to read.

-My sources tell me that millionaire playboy Damian Orlov's private plane has been seen dashing off in the heat of the night for parts unknown. While I have yet to determine where the Republic's most eligible bachelor's dissappeared off to, another interesting tib bit has crossed my path. An old chum in the Ministry of Defence let slip that Imperial Rock Love Machine keyboardist Sasha Brightmore's taken an unexpected leave of absence. It also seems that Lando "The Bear" St. Clair vanished after defending his championship belt in Kraigikztan, and I've got a pretty good feeling that the enigmatic Gendo Hasegawa can't be all that far behind them. After a two year hiatus, could this mean the return of Ironwell's most legendary band? Who knows, but I'll be sure to find out, dear reader. Ss always everything I tell you is strictly "hush hush".

The Scandinvan airport was filling up with planes sporting all sorts of impressive regalia. And in the middle of this flock of royal and diplomatic aircraft, a purple Lear jet touched down. No signs of state, just a name written in gold on the sides of the airframe, "ORLOV".

The Bear opened the door and lowered the gangplank, "Take it easy, Rene." he said to the butler, "This bum makes you do too much anyways."

"Thank you Master St. Clair, perhaps you should remove the mask. We are, after all, trying to felp Master Damian court a princess." Rene said to the behemoth of a man, wearing a smart pinstriped suit and a luchador mask.

"Sorry pal, code of los lucha libre. I can't remove it until I'm defeated in the ring. I would dishonour me, and El Bastro who trained me and gave me his mask when I defeated him."

Sasha hopped on the large wresler's shoulders, "Bear, you know you look wonderfully silly with that suit and the mask. Now take to a hotel so I can get out of this flight suit!"

"In good time, my friends, all in good time." Damian said as he stepped off of the plane, "I thought we could see the town, maybe check out my competition for the hear of the fair princess."

As Gendo left last, he could feel that they were baing watched, turning to the left he could see the photographers.

"We seem to have company."

"Hmmph," Rene turned to the growing tide of cameral flashed, "No doubt associates of that dreadful Kitty Kelly from the Solara Free Press. That woman is an incorrigible gossip, honestly sir I have no idead what you saw in that vile woman."

Damian just smiled at his butler and oldest freind, "I think was her eyes."

"Wow" Sasha exclaimed. "It's all so beautiful."

"I agree with you an that," Damian said, "but I still think the Old Town in Solara has a never feel to it, wouldn't you say, Gendo?"

The enigmatic bassist just stared off into the distance, "Yes, the energy flows more freely. here it fells more ordered, more tranquil."

"Anyone ever tell you you're one strange cat?" The Bear said as he was raiding the mini-fridge in the limo.

"Not nearly as strange as a 400 bound man in an Armani suit and a red luchador mask." Gendo said back to his most large of friends.

"Alright, ya got me there. Rene, where are we going?"

The butler looked up from his PDA, "To the hotel Master Bear. We'll collect ourselves, recover from a globe's worth of jet lag and..."

Damain cut him off, "And plan my courtship of the ice princess."

"Precisely." Rene said, hopping back into the thick of the conversation, "I'll begin contacting the Scandinvans to find out when we can actually meet the fair maiden. Leave everything to me."

Capt. Edmeston looked out across an open plain. The wind glided across the gold wheat. The sun was starting to come up and was a burning red. It was another sleepy day on his farm. He knew it wasn't proper for him to run a farm, but it was some of the best experiences were on this farm. As he sat down in a chair on the front porch, he heard nothing but silence. Though he did not notice two men behind him. They both wore ski masks, but one had a gun. The man pulled the trigger on the gun and a dart came out. Before he could react a dart hit Capt. Edmeston. He fell over and landed on the ground. The men with ski masks looked around and a black car drove up to the house. William was loaded up into the car.

"Sir, we have captured him." One of the ski mask men said as he spoke into a cell phone. A calm voice could be heard saying something to him.

"Yes sir, we are headed for the military base right now."

Thirty minutes later the black car went into a air force base. No one checked the car and let it by without any questions. The car stopped in front of a military cargo plane. The ski mask men opened a door and carried William onto the plane. As soon as they seated William the plane was on the runway. At 11:07 A.M. a military cargo plane took off from Canadstein and was on route to Scandinvan.

"Well, we have gotten this far." said one of the ski masked men.

200 Miles Away Scandinvan Border

William started to wake up and was surprised to find himself in a plane. He looked around and saw his assailants. Trying to move he found out that he was tied to the chair.

"Who the hell are you?" yelled William as he tried to break himself free.

One of the men came up to him and said quietly. "Just settle down William. Nothing is going to happen to you."

William did not believe this man and kicked him in the groin. As the men fell down to the ground, the other men came to his aid.

"Just calm down..." The man removed his ski mask and helped th fallen man down. "We are part of the Royal Guard. I'm Marcus and the man you kicked in the groin is Henry. We are here to escort you to Scandinvan. There you will meet Princess Elanor."

"Who the hell sent you two and why?" asked William as the men untied the chair to him.

"Your parents gave us the orders for you to meet Princess Elanor. They thought that you would never meet any women, so they had to take "extreme" measures." said Henry as he took off his ski mask and slowly walked back to a chair.

"I should have guessed."

Marcus went off to a crate and took out some papers. Handing them over to William, William wondered what these papers were about. The folder outside of it had a "EMERGENCY" written in big red letters.

"So what is this Marcus?"

"Ah it's all the information we have gathered about Princess Elanor."

William started to read the information and looked at the picture of Princess Elanor. She was very beautiful. Once finish reading he looked at Marcus.

"We have everything that you need for this meeting with her." Marcus pointed to the crates where Henry was resting. William thought for a moment and wondered if he was being set up. He needed to actually test if these were actually Royal Guards. Then he it came to him in an instant.

"What is the name of the Battalion that guards the Queen?"

Marcus looked at Henry for a half of second and answered in a direct tone. "Ah that would be the Sherbrooke Hussars formed in 1754."

Marcus had answered correctly and had even given the date when it was established.

"Very good Marcus..." William wondered how this Princess Elanor would be in real life. Though he pondered and coughed for a second. "I will met her."

Marcus looked outside the window and noticed that they were going to land soon.

"Very good William, we should be landing shortly. So take your seat." Marcus sat back in his chair and looked at Henry. They had accomplished one of their many tasks.

In cockpit the pilot started could see the airport. He called into the control. "This is Buffalo12 from Canadstein. We are requesting permission to land. We are carrying a royal member that is to meet with Princess Elanor."

Valdra Airport

The Challenger Bombardier 604 Private Jet majestically taxied towards the airport terminal. Its body was white and a flag was embrodied upon the tail. A name was thrown along the sides. "The Dominion of Vetaka". This was an official jet of the Vetakan Defence Air Force 32 Squadron. Aboard was the VDF Supreme Operational Commander Jonathon Stone. He was the second highest member of the Vetakan Defence Force. Today however he was here in this wonderful nation not on a Military Mission but on a mission of love. He was here to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Elanor of the Scandinvan House of Valgard. A beautiful women whom had come of age and now wish to marry.

Supreme Cmd Stone had decided to put himself forward as a bachelor as he genuninly did find her very attractive and from what he had been told and found out they each had a lot in common. He left the plane and made his way up the corridoor and into the Airport itself. Here the Vetakan Party where met by the Scandinvan Imperial Guard. Stone siganlled to his own guards to co-operate. When the two groups met Stone smilled and shook hands so did the rest of the Vetakan Party. The Imperial Guards seemed a little unsure at such friendlness but they soon warmed. The Vetakans offered Vetakan Chocolate, Vodka from Hipflasks and of course the Proud Vetakan Oatcakes.

Stone turned to the Commander of the Imperial Guards once again smiled and spoke:

"Hello. I am Supreme Operational Commander Jonathon James Stone of the Vetakan Defence Force. I am here to meet Princess Elanor. Im sure your expecting me. My party consists of 10. Myself, 5 VDF Diplomatic Guard armed with pistols and 4 General Staff. Here is our Identification and im sorry if our warmth and friendship made you feel abit uncomfortable?"

Grand Imperial Palace, Super City

"Hmmm," Krister exclaimed, while playing chess with his sister, Siv. "You've made a good move."

A knock at the door...

"Come in," said Krister. It was his personal messenger arriving with the mail. "Your Highness, you have a letter from Scandinvan."

"Oh... ? Thank you." Krister opened the letter, which appeared to be very formal. He had been accepted to see the Princess. "Sorry Siv, but I must pack. We'll just say you won this time."

One hour later, Super City International Airport

Krister boarded Imperial II, which was the 2nd of 60 specially commissioned aircraft the Lord Governor ordered from Airbus for billions of Maras.

"Johanne," Krister said. Johanne was his personal assistant and longtime friend. "May I please have the folder containing the information about the Princess?"

"Yes your Highness. Here you are."

"Oh don't be so formal, Johanne. You've been my friend for a long time, no need to be like that."

"Yes, your High- Krister..."

Krister gave Johanne a slight grin, and then opened the folder and started reading over the information. "She seems like an incredible girl. Very beautiful as well."

19 hours later, 50 miles from Scandinvan

"Krister, we'll be arriving in Scandinvan very shortly." Johanne said, trying to wake him up.

"Oh, thank you Johanne. How long was I sleeping?"

"12 hours, I think. You were snoring."

"Oh my... well these seats are very comfortable."

"Indeed they are."

A voice came over the intercom...

"Everyone please fasten your seatbelts, we'll be landing in approximately 15 minutes."

"Excellent." Krister exclaimed, before putting on his belt.

"Imperial II to traffic control. This is Imperial II carrying Prince Krister of Maraque, requesting permission to land."

As the Prince descended from the ramp a group of guards came to the ramp and their commander said," Ave, and welcome to the Scandinvan Empire and may we inquire as to what your busniess here today is?"

JAmes responded as warmly as he could, though he was pritty certain that his adies had transmitted the information about hsia rrival times and buisness to the Scandinvan air traffic control before they landed. MAybe this was just an attempt to unnerve him.

"My lord, the Emporer, recived a commune from the goverment of your people indicting that your Princess was requesting suitors. Thus, with a chance of meet not only such a beautiful woman, but also to gain diplomatic relations with such a powerful and illustrious nation I departed forthwith to meet her. Thus, my appearence here."

Thus, my appearence here."The guard commander then said," All is well then and so please come with us as we have a limo waiting for you my lord."

The plane landed,John got out the plane and headed for the airport.He got his staff ready and waited if there was any waiting to pick them up."Sara is there anyone picking us up".
"I think so Prince John".
"Ok then,ask one of the staff to get the suitcases.
"Yes Your Highness".

John sat and started drinking water and eating a cookie.It had been a hard day and he hadn't eaten yet already day.He was happy to,he might get married.He wanted to someday have a wife and this was his chance even if there were five or six men trying to win over her heart.But he wished onlyhe was here trying to win the princess heart.

Valdra International Airport

The plane had just landed and was going to the terminal as Prince Krister gathered himself and his carry-on luggage.

"I've always wanted to take a vacation here. It looks like a great place." Krister exclaimed.

The door opened and he walked out down the terminal and into the airport. There he stood waiting with Johanne.

"Where do we go now, Johanne?"

"I'm not sure. Lets wait for a while."

"Alright."

The five Imperial Guard security detail units that came with them surrounded the Prince in a particularly odd formation as they waited.

Their commander came up the ramp and said,” My lord, please come with us so that we might take the palace of our Emperor.”

The guard commander then said," All is well then and so please come with us as we have a limo waiting for you my lord."

"I thank you, sir," James and his entourage set off in the direction the man had indictaed climbing in the limo which, though JAmes aides tried hard to dismiss as primitive, was of the highest quality. As they rtravelled towards ther royal palace he leant back and wondered, thinking of his greeting to the Princess and how best to win her heart.

"Thank you very much for allowing me into your country".
John and his royal staff followed the guards."Where is the car Commander,i can't wait untill i see the palace and the princess".

The plane landed,John got out the plane and headed for the airport.He got his staff ready and waited if there was any waiting to pick them up."Sara is there anyone picking us up".

The Imperial Guard Commander bowed his head and beckoned to an exit of the airport. He then asked the Vetakan Party to follow him to their designated secure staying place. Altough relaxed and friendly the Vetakan Diplomatic Guard where very much Alert. They followed their Imperial Guard Guides into their designated Lodging. The Guards bowed their heads and left. Stone looked out of the window and across the Landscape of this beautiful nation.

He picked up soil from a plant pot and held it in his hand, He prayed for nature and then blew it into the air the breeze carried it away before depositing further down wind. Stone was then shocked when he relaised a Wolf was stareing at him. Pure White in colour. The Wolf blinked, Stone Blinked and the Wolf was gone. Stone had spent much of his life at one with nature. It was common for Stone to experience this phonomenon regularly.

He relished the experience before turning back to his Staff. Smiling with warmth and happiness he said:

"Her Highness is as beautiful as this Nation"

Valdra International Airport

"I've always wanted to take a vacation here. It looks like a great place." Krister exclaimed.

The door opened and he walked out down the terminal and into the airport. There he stood waiting with Johanne.

"Where do we go now, Johanne?"

"I'm not sure. Lets wait for a while."

"Alright."

The five Imperial Guard security detail units that came with them surrounded the Prince in a particularly odd formation as they waited.At the airport departure lanes came a limo marked with the personal seal of the Scandinvan Imperial family. From it came a few servants with carboard signs which read 'Maraque royal Prince."

"I thank you, sir," James and his entourage set off in the direction the man had indictaed climbing in the limo which, though JAmes aides tried hard to dismiss as primitive, was of the highest quality. As they rtravelled towards ther royal palace he leant back and wondered, thinking of his greeting to the Princess and how best to win her heart.After a couple of hours of driving they came up to the main palace compound which literally covered the area of a city as it had been designed to be home to Imperial family and much of the nobility, all of whom had been supplied their own personal palaces. As well, the grounds were covered with gardens, works of art, smaller buildings, libarires, mouments to the past leaders and heroes of the Empire, and a vast number of other things. The driver of the limo said," From here I may no longer take you as motorized vechiles are not allowed past this point."

Whilst the limo cruised the city streets Rene was in communication with the Royal Staff.

"Your concerns are most understandable. After all the Princess Elanor must be attended to with the utmost care as her station in life demands. I have Master Orlov's entire genealogy and personal history laid out for your perusal. There is a paper copy, as well as an electronic version available for digital transfer or compact disk. You should find that the Orlov line is one of distinguished service and accomplishment, we have even found a direct blood line from his mother to the great Arturo Tartarus, our republic's greatest hero. I believe you should find everything quite in order. I was unaware if lodgings would be provided so I took care to reserve a penthouse suite in one of your capital's finer hotels. After all, the fair princess has created quite a lot in interest I've been told. And the master and I felt your people have quite a lot of work to do without having to billet one more suitor. As to the question of why, it's quite simple. My employer is searching the globe to find his one true love. I believe he said it was her eyes that led her to want to court her. After reviewing several photographs I can see this was a most apt assessment, there does seem to be a spark of sorts about her. We're most eager to meet her and can do so at your earliest convenience. If you could provide an e-mail address I can transfer the full details about the hotel and any further details you may require."

Two and a half minutes later."We apologize for the wait, but we had to triangulate your place and confirm your identity as you are a foreign air craft. As we have confirmed your identity you have been cleared to land directly as the Imperial Palace where the Imperial family is currently staying. We have transmitted the coordinates of the palace with this message. We thank you for coming to the Empire your majesty.”

"Thank you control tower." The pilot started to shift the plane toward the Imperial palace. "So tell the men behind, it will be another ten minutes." The copilot got up and went to the back. "Another night minutes, then we will touch down." The copilot disappeared back into the cockpit. William Edmeston looked like a mess. He had been drugged and had barely any sleep. Slowly his eyes closed.

As he woke he felt a big jolt. The plane was landing. He could hear the wheels skid across the runway. Slowly the plane stopped and William got up. Rubbing his eyes he saw the back part of the plane come down. Henry and Marcus were already getting the crates of supplies. They both walked toward the back and stepped outside. The bright rays of light blinded William for a moment. Then he walked out into the fresh air.

The Imperial Guard Commander bowed his head and beckoned to an exit of the airport. He then asked the Vetakan Party to follow him to their designated secure staying place. Altough relaxed and friendly the Vetakan Diplomatic Guard where very much Alert. They followed their Imperial Guard Guides into their designated Lodging. The Guards bowed their heads and left. Stone looked out of the window and across the Landscape of this beautiful nation.

He picked up soil from a plant pot and held it in his hand, He prayed for nature and then blew it into the air the breeze carried it away before depositing further down wind. Stone was then shocked when he relaised a Wolf was stareing at him. Pure White in colour. The Wolf blinked, Stone Blinked and the Wolf was gone. Stone had spent much of his life at one with nature. It was common for Stone to experience this phonomenon regularly.

He relished the experience before turning back to his Staff. Smiling with warmth and happiness he said:

"Her Highness is as beautiful as this Nation"OOC: When it comes to the Imperial palace please do not rp my characters reactions. Yet, thanks for making me not rp that part as I have to much rping in this thread as it is.:D

IC: One of the attendants of the Empire assigned to Stone came up to him and said,” Please, come with me as we have prepared a limo to take you directly to the palace.”

Whilst the limo cruised the city streets Rene was in communication with the Royal Staff.

"Your concerns are most understandable. After all the Princess Elanor must be attended to with the utmost care as her station in life demands. I have Master Orlov's entire genealogy and personal history laid out for your perusal. There is a paper copy, as well as an electronic version available for digital transfer or compact disk. You should find that the Orlov line is one of distinguished service and accomplishment, we have even found a direct blood line from his mother to the great Arturo Tartarus, our republic's greatest hero. I believe you should find everything quite in order. I was unaware if lodgings would be provided so I took care to reserve a penthouse suite in one of your capital's finer hotels. After all, the fair princess has created quite a lot in interest I've been told. And the master and I felt your people have quite a lot of work to do without having to billet one more suitor. As to the question of why, it's quite simple. My employer is searching the globe to find his one true love. I believe he said it was her eyes that led her to want to court her. After reviewing several photographs I can see this was a most apt assessment, there does seem to be a spark of sorts about her. We're most eager to meet her and can do so at your earliest convenience. If you could provide an e-mail address I can transfer the full details about the hotel and any further details you may require."The Emperor’s hand selected personal went through all the paperwork as well as having gone through their own search of his past. As well, they went through a background check of all of his companions to make sure it was safe. After all this was done, an hour later to be exact, a message was sent to their hotel room which read,” Orlov appears to be an outstanding person, but for the time being he cannot meet the Princess until we have arranged everything to make sure he can come to the palace, as he not being of noble birth, has not been given the same treatment as allotted to people born of higher station then he. Though we shall make arrangements for you to come to the palace within the next few hours. Yet, we can only grant you a small mansion on the ground as the rest are reserved for other persons. If this will be enough we can bring you up to the palace within ninety minutes then.”

"Thank you control tower." The pilot started to shift the plane toward the Imperial palace. "So tell the men behind, it will be another ten minutes." The copilot got up and went to the back. "Another night minutes, then we will touch down." The copilot disappeared back into the cockpit. William Edmeston looked like a mess. He had been drugged and had barely any sleep.

The bright rays of light blinded William for a moment. Then he walked out into the fresh air.At the Imperial palace they glowing marble of the palace complex shone like the midday sun in its own right. Then from the complex came a tram which would carry the persons that had arrived in the plane directly to their residence so to wait for their meeting with the princess.

The tram operator sent a number of servants to collect the luggage. Then he said,” Come aboard please as we have much for you to do before you meet the Princess.”

Marcus and Henry looked at each other and got onto the tram. Slowly William exited the aircraft. He took a deep breath. The air smelled fresh and clean. Looking at the Imperial Palace, he looked some what stunned, but shook it off. It had been a long time since he had seen a place like this. He got onto the tram and looked kept his vision on the palace.

At the airport departure lanes came a limo marked with the personal seal of the Scandinvan Imperial family. From it came a few servants with carboard signs which read 'Maraque royal Prince."

"Oh, over there Johanne." Krister said, pointing towards the limousine that just pulled up.

The Imperial Guard security detail moved and allowed Johanne and Krister to approach the limousine.

"I am the Prince, it's a pleasure to meet you. Where are we off to?" he said to the people holding the sign.

Marcus and Henry looked at each other and got onto the tram. Slowly William exited the aircraft. He took a deep breath. The air smelled fresh and clean. Looking at the Imperial Palace, he looked some what stunned, but shook it off. It had been a long time since he had seen a place like this. He got onto the tram and looked kept his vision on the palace.The tram operator said as they were climbing the high and steep hill to the top of it where it leveled to the main palace complex,” This palace is the main residence of the Emperors. As well, its worth is in the hundreds of billions in which it is nearly a trillion. Also, it contains relics thousands of years old from across the world, precious artworks, one of kind books more ancient then most nations, and millions of other artifacts and pieces of art. All of which is protected by ten legions of the most skilled and loyal troops that are in existence.”

All of which is protected by ten legions of the most skilled and loyal troops that are in existence.”

Marcus looked up toward the hill. He wondered how the hell they got all the marble up there. Henry was sleeping and starting to snore. William started to wonder how Princess Elanor would react once she saw him. He looked tired and was a little bit dirty. As they slowly went to the main palace complex William looked toward the tram operator.

"How often is the Princess up here?"

"Oh, over there Johanne." Krister said, pointing towards the limousine that just pulled up.

The Imperial Guard security detail moved and allowed Johanne and Krister to approach the limousine.

"I am the Prince, it's a pleasure to meet you. Where are we off to?" he said to the people holding the sign.OOC: This is my joke.

IC: The limo driver said," We are off to the Imperial palace where you shall be given a residence till you meet the Princess and for the time while you stay in the Empire."

Marcus looked up toward the hill. He wondered how the hell they got all the marble up there. Henry was sleeping and starting to snore. William started to wonder how Princess Elanor would react once she saw him. He looked tired and was a little bit dirty. As they slowly went to the main palace complex William looked toward the tram operator.

"How often is the Princess up here?"As the tram slowly began to come to a halt at the top of the hill the tram operator responded,” She is here most of the time as this is the chief residence of the Imperial family. As well, we have arrived at your residence while you here.”

At the hotel Damian and his cohorts were busy offloading all of their personal effects. As they shaved and showered Rene awaited the call from the princess's handlers. An hour after he called he was scanning the message the bellhop brought up.

"Good show, these Scandinvans really know how to run things. Master Orlov, we can proceed to the palace in ninety minutes."

The young globe traveler plopped on the fine sofa and told his butler, "Excellent. My first glimpse of the fair Elanor, in the flesh. What to wear?"

Rene replied, "Well, I would reccomend your RAF dress uniform. It will be the perfect way to show that you are a man of gallantry and honour."

"Perhaps, but." Damain thought for a moment, "No. I love the uniform and all, but it's been done. Think about it, there's going to be a virtual ocean of stuffy princes in varying degrees of pomp and pageantry. I'm thinking my blue suit, with a red rose corsage."

"Good choice." Gendo told him from the balcony on his head, "It would be best for Damian to stand out early, set himself apart from the pack."

Sasha walked out of the shower, still drying her hair. "You have no idea how good it feels to be out of the flight suit and into a real, long, hot shower. What's this about the palace?" she asked.

"We're to be there in ninety minutes, hopefully to meet the princess." Rene told her."

"I'm going to be in the presence of royalty? This fast? Rene, why didn't you tell me. I'll never be ready now!" Sasha exclaimed as she ran to her room to get ready. As The Bear looked up from the Solara Free Press he picked up in the lobby Rene turned to him.

"I don't suppose I could make one last, desperate appeal to you to leave the mask here?"

The Bear just laughed and went back to his paper.

OOC: When it comes to the Imperial palace please do not rp my characters reactions. Yet, thanks for making me not rp that part as I have to much rping in this thread as it is.:D

IC: One of the attendants of the Empire assigned to Stone came up to him and said,” Please, come with me as we have prepared a limo to take you directly to the palace.”

"Of Course" replied Stone smiling to the attendant. Stone signalled to two of his party to join him on his trip to the Palace. The two people where a man whom was a solider of the Vetakan Diplomatic Guard and the other a women of the Diplomatic Forigen Affairs.

"Roxanne bring the gifts" instructed stone to the Diplomatic Staff.

"Of Course Sir" was the reply.

The Vetakan Party now made their way down the corridor and out into the open air. They boarded the Limo and it shot away into.

As the tram slowly began to come to a halt at the top of the hill the tram operator responded,” She is here most of the time as this is the chief residence of the Imperial family. As well, we have arrived at your residence while you here.”

Staring out into the distance, William was startled by the tram stopping. He saw the cargo plane that had taken him here take off. I guessed I'm trapped here. I better make the best of the situation. He thought as he walked off the tram. Marcus and Henry were already taking his and their baggage to the quarters. William trailed behind them and then stopped abruptly. Edmeston grabbed some of the dirt around the walkway. Letting it run threw his hands, he sighed. Brushing his hands off, he continue to the his quarters.

The Bear just laughed and went back to his paper.Ninety Minutes Later:

At the door of the hotel in Valdra came a large white limo with the emblem of the Imperial Seal upon its doors. Out of it came a number of escorts to bring them to the palace. At that one of them went to the front desk and had them deliver this message.

“Mr. Orlov,

We have been sent here by the Imperial Steward to being you to the Imperial Palace Complex so please head down to the main lobby ASVP so that we might leave, as for your things they shall be taken care of by Imperial Servants.

Signed,
Servant of HIM Emperor Olaf the IV”

"Of Course" replied Stone smiling to the attendant. Stone signalled to two of his party to join him on his trip to the Palace. The two people where a man whom was a solider of the Vetakan Diplomatic Guard and the other a women of the Diplomatic Forigen Affairs.

"Roxanne bring the gifts" instructed stone to the Diplomatic Staff.

"Of Course Sir" was the reply.

The Vetakan Party now made their way down the corridor and out into the open air. They boarded the Limo and it shot away into.The limo drove them through the country side as they proceeded to the country that separated the airport and the Imperial palace As the limo drove through the country side they drove by many country estates of the Valgardian nobility who controlled the lands in this areas and used them to grow huge supplies of crops. In the background of the massive fields one can see the great mansions of the nobility where they came to escape politics and the grinding life in the cities and suburbia.

Staring out into the distance, William was startled by the tram stopping. He saw the cargo plane that had taken him here take off. I guessed I'm trapped here. I better make the best of the situation. He thought as he walked off the tram. Marcus and Henry were already taking his and their baggage to the quarters. William trailed behind them and then stopped abruptly. Edmeston grabbed some of the dirt around the walkway. Letting it run threw his hands, he sighed. Brushing his hands off, he continue to the his quarters.As they approached the residence the group was given for them to stay in there was an arena below where two members of the nobility were engaged in a standard dual so as to sharpen their skills and improve their friendship through honor in battle, which is one of the things the Scandinvan nobility was well known for.

OOC: I am making the assumption that the Prince is somewhat of a fighter as many skilled warriors tend to get a sense of the layout of the land by doing the things with the soils.

As the limo sped through the Countryside the Vetakan Party especially Stone where amazed by the the beauty of the Nation. He couldn't wait to meet Her Royal Highness.

At the hotel Damian and his crew exited the front doors to the limo. He gave a frendly nod to the Imperial staff as the door opened.

"Well, destiny awaits!"

OOC: This is my joke.

IC: The limo driver said," We are off to the Imperial palace where you shall be given a residence till you meet the Princess and for the time while you stay in the Empire.""Excellent, lets go Johanne," the Prince said, as they entered the limousine. "This is very nice," the Prince exclaimed.

As the limo sped through the Countryside the Vetakan Party especially Stone where amazed by the the beauty of the Nation. He couldn't wait to meet Her Royal Highness.The limo then began to slowly come up a large river valley that was dotted with palaces and other great buildings. The driver said,” Those palaces are the part time homes of many of the nobility that dwell in the lower parts of the valley that lay down stream from the Imperial palace complex."

After a couple of hours of driving they came up to the main palace compound which literally covered the area of a city as it had been designed to be home to Imperial family and much of the nobility, all of whom had been supplied their own personal palaces. As well, the grounds were covered with gardens, works of art, smaller buildings, libarires, mouments to the past leaders and heroes of the Empire, and a vast number of other things. The driver of the limo said," From here I may no longer take you as motorized vechiles are not allowed past this point."

James was impressed, and disgusted. Thiese groudn where even larger than those in aust, though, obviosuly they hosued far mroe people. However, having to walk from there struck him as foolish, still there where stranger customs in Aust.

Nodding to the driver and handing hima substantial tip he set off intot he ground toward sthe largest palace.

OOC: I am making the assumption that the Prince is somewhat of a fighter as many skilled warriors tend to get a sense of the layout of the land by doing the things with the soils.

Both of the guards continued on, but William stopped for a moment. He saw the arena and saw two figures. Straying off from the group, he decided to see what exactly they were doing. Walking down he noticed that they were about to engage in a duel. William stood off to the side and waited for them to commence.

As the limo sped through the Countryside the Vetakan Party especially Stone where amazed by the the beauty of the Nation. He couldn't wait to meet Her Royal Highness.After a decent period of time driving through the area they finally arrivied at the Imperial palace complex to which the driver said to the group," There is the center of the Imperial family and the epicenter of power for our Empire."

At the hotel Damian and his crew exited the front doors to the limo. He gave a frendly nod to the Imperial staff as the door opened.

"Well, destiny awaits!"The limo driver as he saw the group coming hit the door opener which popped upon the door on the side for the group.

James was impressed, and disgusted. Thiese groudn where even larger than those in aust, though, obviosuly they hosued far mroe people. However, having to walk from there struck him as foolish, still there where stranger customs in Aust.

Nodding to the driver and handing hima substantial tip he set off intot he ground toward sthe largest palace.From the bottom of the hill came a small lynch powered tram which was designed to take people up the steep hill and to prevent any potential bomb carrying cars from reaching the palace easily. The operator said,” Sorry my lords for the wait, but at the palace due to security reasons we use these trams to propel guests to the palace. Yet, if you would please enter the tram and I shall get you up there in two minutes."

Both of the guards continued on, but William stopped for a moment. He saw the arena and saw two figures. Straying off from the group, he decided to see what exactly they were doing. Walking down he noticed that they were about to engage in a duel. William stood off to the side and waited for them to commence.As he came down the two nobles had begun to start their fight with both of them holding the same type of long sword. With the battle started the one on the right had already taken control of the battle as he was the quicker and stronger of the two. After, about two minutes of fighting the one on the right had been able to disarm his opponent and had put his sword to his neck. With that the less skilled of the two laughed and yielded the fight. With that the defeated noble, with his head high up, left the arena, but the other one has remained and then called to William and said,” Greetings, it appears you are rather interested in our little duel so I thought if you wanted to have a little one of our own?”

OOC: Sorry, about the wait, but I took a day off NS.

William jumped down and grabbed a sword. He looked toward his opponent.

"So a duel is your game. Lets see if it is my game. You are fine swordsman. Ah..what is you name I do not think I got it?"

William tested his sword to get used to it, then looked directly at the noble. With these duel he could prove himself to these people and maybe the Princess.

With these duel he could prove himself to these people and maybe the Princess.The noble laughed at such excitement in this youth and then said,” As is the tradition of the nobility of my people we are to properly introduce ourselves so we know whom we are fighting.

First, I shall do so since I offered the dual,

My name is Lord Erik Erida, count of Erimsi, captain of the 2nd force of the Imperial guard.”

After a decent period of time driving through the area they finally arrivied at the Imperial palace complex to which the driver said to the group," There is the center of the Imperial family and the epicenter of power for our Empire."


As the limo came to halt Stones door was opened for him somthing that he was really use to. He smiled at the person whom had opened and thanked him. The Imperial Palace complex was massive. It was a beautiful complex very elegant and defined this was the same as much of this country. Everything was proper and its place. The nation seemed to ooze beauty from every direction. It was only now that he realised most people where waiting for him:

"Sorry, Roxanne the Gifts, Andrews give Roxanne a hand" instructed Stone.

"Yes Sir" was the reply.

Stone turned to their Imperial Guides smiled and asked:

"Where would you like us to go, Sir?" asked Stone bowing his head.

The noble laughed at such excitement in this youth and then said,” As is the tradition of the nobility of my people we are to properly introduce ourselves so we know whom we are fighting.

First, I shall do so since I offered the dual,

My name is Lord Erik Erida, count of Erimsi, captain of the 2nd force of the Imperial guard.”

"And I am William Edmeston, Earl of Chesterfield, Captain of the 27th Expeditionary Forces of the Canadstein Army."

William finished getting used to the sword. Though it felt strange, he would have to get use to it. Pointing his sword toward Lord Erida, he was ready now.

"I ask you one question. Do you know Princess Elanor? You make the first move."

From the bottom of the hill came a small lynch powered tram which was designed to take people up the steep hill and to prevent any potential bomb carrying cars from reaching the palace easily. The operator said,” Sorry my lords for the wait, but at the palace due to security reasons we use these trams to propel guests to the palace. Yet, if you would please enter the tram and I shall get you up there in two minutes."

James nodded his assent and climbed in, intresting, he mused, evidently this country is advanced yet they use such primative technology. Tredition I suppose, and safty, though how this is more effective at stopping a assination that a scan I don't know.

The tram slowly ground up the hill...

Yet, as for this dual I challenged you so you must attack first as honor dictates.”

IC:

Stone was intrigued by the Nations History as a result he was most annoyed when his phone rang he retrived and answered. He was even more shocked when the Standard VDF High Command Encryption began to speak:

"Confirmation Secure Code Stone 1-Alpha-1" he spoke.

"Hello Stone. Its Commander Barrett I hope your not enjoying yourself to much or your in the presence of Royalty. You are hearby recalled back to Vetaka. We have a situation and the President has orderd you to return. The conference is going as planned. However a Warship of Londim orgin is about to penertrate our Waters. We have had or cannot make no contact with Londim Govenment or the ship. As a result the President fears the worst. You are to return ASAP? Understand?"

"Of course ill be in the air within the hour." replied Stone.

Stone shocked by this situation turns to his Imperial Guides and his staff:

"Im terribly sorry but I have been recalled to Vetaka it seems an urgent situation is developing and I am required to return to provide a Full Chain of Command. If I may apologise to the emperor or is that not possible? I am terribly sorry to inconvience you. However duty is duty after all? I request you return me and my staff back to our plane and that we take off as quickly as possible?."

The tram slowly ground up the hill...After the estimated time the tram reached ones of the main entrances of the palace which was made of solid orange and white marble. The tram operator then said," Here is the Imperial palace's entrance which leads to a wing of the palace that is now reserved to you. In fact the bronze doors that are directly ahead of you when you enter are the ones that lead to your part of the palace."

William took his sword and made a jab forward. Backing it back, he started to walk toward his opponent. Once getting in range he made a jab.

"Holy shiat!" exclaimed The Bear as the limo crested the hill an the way to the royal estate. "This joint is hella sweet. How much you guys pay for this pad?" he said as the burly wrestler patted the driver on the shoulder.

Rene turned to him and spoke, "Master Bear, perhaps you should beep in mind that we are entering a place of dignity and sophisitcation. Perhaps we would do Mr. Orlov's romantic intentions a great service if we could keep the 'holy shiats' to ourselves."

The others just quietly chuckled as the moderately sized butler had put the Canadian giant in his place. Damian hopped up tot he seal closest to the driver.

"Excuse my burly pal here, true case of the heart being larger than the brainmeats. So, what cna you tell me about the Princess Elanor, not the official version or the gossip page accounts. What do you, personally think of her? I can assure you nothing you say will leave this car and you input will be duly compensated."

And with that last sentence a very large money clip of Scandinvan currency landed on the front seat between Rene and the driver.

James thanked the man and wodnreed weither to tip him ebfore heading into the palace compund, his guards rushed forward to open the branze doors for him and he stepped through to find his rooms and prepare for his meeting.At the time the Scandinvan staff of the palace for the time were busy tending to their duties as everything was being prepared for the group to meet the princess.

James showered and shaved, changing out of the atrotious dress uniform into something lighter and more comfatable. Then he made his way towards the deoths of the palace on his own, in an attempt to find a gym or some other exercise area.

Erida dodged the blow by jumping to the side and quickly made a strike for Will's leg.

As it hit his leg, William fell down to the ground. Quickly he got up and run straight toward Erida with his sword extended.

"Holy shiat!" exclaimed The Bear as the limo crested the hill an the way to the royal estate. "This joint is hella sweet. How much you guys pay for this pad?" he said as the burly wrestler patted the driver on the shoulder.

And with that last sentence a very large money clip of Scandinvan currency landed on the front seat between Rene and the driver.The driver picked up the money and through and he replied," My duty is to the Empire and Emperor, and I shall not speak of them either illy or postively as I have no right to speak of them. Yet, as for the palace its worth is about a trillion dollars."

James showered and shaved, changing out of the atrotious dress uniform into something lighter and more comfatable. Then he made his way towards the deoths of the palace on his own, in an attempt to find a gym or some other exercise area.In his own part of the palace complex was a fully sized olympic gym which was one of the many gyms in the palace.

As it hit his leg, William fell down to the ground. Quickly he got up and run straight toward Erida with his sword extended.Lord Erida smirked at the brashness of this youth. With that he simply moved to the side and thrusted his sword at his opponet in the battle.

Quickly William turned around and blocked the blow. Jumped and rolled behind Erida, then made a blow for the back.

The limo entered the palace, Damian looked to the driver.

"Well, I can tell that she must be an amazing gal to warrant that kind of devotion. I respect your silence, but keep the money. It was a wonderful drive, and besides, your shoes, they're sooo last summer. Thanks for the ride!"

The energetic globe trotter hopped out of the vehicle.

"Now if I was a beautiful princess, where would I be."

The energetic globe trotter hopped out of the vehicle.

"Now if I was a beautiful princess, where would I be."Befor he left the driver said," As for my shows try 600 summers out as they are fricken solid iron."

With that a guard came out who said," Welcome to the Imperial palce the Princess is waiting to have a quick drink of tea with you, but sadly she has only twenty minutes as she has a busy schedule for the next week."

"Tea with a beautiful princess, what a perfect afternoon. Lead on, good sir." Damian said to the guard.

"Rene?" he asked.

"I will keep your associates in check, Master Orlov. Enjoy your time."

"Oh I imagine he will." Gendo said.

"Tea with a beautiful princess, what a perfect afternoon. Lead on, good sir." Damian said to the guard.

"Rene?" he asked.

"I will keep your associates in check, Master Orlov. Enjoy your time."

"Oh I imagine he will." Gendo said.The guard bowed and then said to Damian," Please, follow me sir. Yet, before we go I must warn you if your friend does meet the princess he will have to remove the mask and if he does not not the guards will be forced to remove it, and seeing your friend appears to be a warrior one of the Imperial Personal guards will be forced to remove it from him, but if the guard does he will not wear the mask as he will not take up the duties of your friend's traditions as the guard will never stray from his duties."

So his foe jump quickly behind he himself quickly moved to the side and did a quick reverse thrust with his blade at Willaim's chest.

William dropped to the ground and blocked the blade, then he rolled. William jumped back up and held his sword out.

The palace was an endless wonderland of refinement and majesty. Damian Orlov, millionaire globetroting philantropist rock star, was here in the heart of power to win the heart of the princess. He could barely keep on track as his eyes drifted from wonder to wonder in the ancients halls of power. The escort had just given him a warning about The Bear, apparently the mask would be a problem if he were to meet the Princess Elanor.

"My good man," he said to the guard, "I know the mask seems dreadfully silly. But that mask is bound to him by an oath that is every bit as sacred as the turban for a Sikh or the crowns of royalty. But I'll see what can be done."

But I'll see what can be done."The guard replied," Well there is a loop hole which would allow him to wear a hood over his his and the mask would be allowed to stay on.

Yet, on a different matter we have arrivied where the princess is waiting for you."

William dropped to the ground and blocked the blade, then he rolled. William jumped back up and held his sword out.A buzzer rang coming from the corner and Captian Erida put his sword in sheath and then said," Well it seems that we passed the four minute mark and that we both seem to on the same par, but if the battle had continued real harm might have been done and so that is why we have this little buzzer to end matches after four minutes. So I must say you are a truly skilled swordsman as a normal person would have been defeated by me in less then two minutes. So I give you both my praise and my blessings as you truely have proven yourself on the field of battle."

Elanor, she was the picture of grace and beauty. Damian just stood there, wowed by her form.

"I've come a long way to have this cup of tea. With a smile like that, the trip was well worth it." he said to the princess.

Elanor, she was the picture of grace and beauty. Damian just stood there, wowed by her form.

"I've come a long way to have this cup of tea. With a smile like that, the trip was well worth it." he said to the princess.The princess remained stern, as one of her family was raised to be like, and then said," A pleaseure to meet you go sir and it seems you have come a long way to meet me. As you are sure to know I have other suitors of 'higher' birth then you and might I ask what makes you more suitable then them?"

"Well, I could say my good looks, international stardom and all the trappings that come with it." Damian said.

"But, you'd see through that in a heartbeat. I can see it in your eyes, there's a fire there. If you're looking for a predetermined list of attributes, I'm sorry but I can't help you there. But what I can do is this. I can provide a fresh breath of air in a sea of tradition and stuffiness. Give me a chance, and I'll show you the wonders of a life outside these gelded walls. If only for a moment."

If only for a moment."Princess Elanor replied," Though you offer a chance to give myself a break into this world, but you must know that this was the world I was born into and raised for and the only one I truly world. These world of glittering jewels and fine titles is in fact the only one I live in and have never experinced a life beyond it as you have stated.

As well, you know that your international stardom pales im comparision to the my people's love of me and the knowledge of my name is spread throughout the world and my birth right alone bears more power then anything a rock star can ever achieve in numerous life times."

A buzzer rang coming from the corner and Captian Erida put his sword in sheath and then said," Well it seems that we passed the four minute mark and that we both seem to on the same par, but if the battle had continued real harm might have been done and so that is why we have this little buzzer to end matches after four minutes. So I must say you are a truly skilled swordsman as a normal person would have been defeated by me in less then two minutes. So I give you both my praise and my blessings as you truely have proven yourself on the field of battle."

William put the sword back in the place he found it. He felt the sweat drop of his nose. "Ahh... I could have not continued that fight much longer. The sound of that buzzer was a sweet one. I embrace it very much. You are a good fighter Erida. I hope to challenge you sometime in the future. It has been a while since I have had to use a sword. Not since my younger days when I was taking a fencing class."

William went back up a pair of stairs and noticed that no one was around. Quickly he ran to the housing. Once in side he noticed how elegant and spacey the manor was inside. It had been awhile since he had stayed in a place like this.

"Henry, Marcus where are you guys?"

William put the sword back in the place he found it. He felt the sweat drop of his nose. "Ahh... I could have not continued that fight much longer. The sound of that buzzer was a sweet one.

"Henry, Marcus where are you guys?"Erida responded," To tell you something about my nation's duels we duel not to beat the other, but we duel to test ourselves and to improve our skills by expanding our own and learning them from our opponets. Which I hope you manage to do today. As well, good bye and I wish to duel you sometime soon."

Inside the manor one of the servants came up to William and said," My lord, we have brought your things here and to tell you shall meet the Princess in about forty five minutes in the gardens of the palace grounds."

William took a shower and changed into some non-dirty cloths. It had seemed that Marcus and Henry had both disappeared. They were probably exploring the area and seeing the beauty of nature outside. As he finished exploring the manor, he ventured outside. It was certainly beautiful. William decided to take a stroll around the garden.

Damian sat down at the table, soaking in Elanor's words. She was fast, sharp witted. So far so good.

"That's exactly my point. I've seen they way they look at you, the people that is. And I've been enough places to know when a crowd is cheering out of love, or out of tradition. I can see it in their faces. They laud you, revere you, would worship the ground beneath your feet for you. Not the position, not the fancy crown. But you, I guess I just wanted to meet someone who can inspire that in people."

He poured himself a cup of tea, the finest leaves had been pressed into service for this beverage.

William decided to take a stroll around the garden.In the garden lie waiting a small child whom was wondering through on their own and whom was wearing the clothing of one of the Imperial line and had with him the Imperial ring which shown like the sun due to having a massive diamond upon it.

He poured himself a cup of tea, the finest leaves had been pressed into service for this beverage.Elanor replied,” You make a swaying argument for your case, though you also point out that my people love which helps and weakens your case at the same time by showing you a wise and cunning person, but at the same it leaves you with less strength in your argument in that to the people whom love me I have a duty to serve and added it is my duty as a member of the Imperial family to serve the Empire as a greater whole by fulfilling my duties and thus I am bound to it deeper then you know.”

In the garden lie waiting a small child whom was wondering through on their own and whom was wearing the clothing of one of the Imperial line and had with him the Imperial ring which shown like the sun due to having a massive diamond upon it.

William walked along and took in the beauty. Then he caught a glimpse of the child. Quickly he hid behind a bush and watched the child. He noticed that he wore a massive diamond on his hand. That means he would have to be a royal. Getting up from the bush he walked over to the child.

Down wi arranged marriages!

The tea room was filled with constant reminders of grace, wonder and at the same time, sterility. When he arrived Damian was full of expectations, plans, plots, the wonders of the hunt. But in the tea room, it hit him.

"This isn't going to work." He blurted out, after a sip of tea he spoke again

"This place, it's wondrous. Majestic, even. But, it's not my world. Like you I grew up in class, order, refinement, wealth beyond reason. But the man I am now. It won't do, not at all. Elanor, you're beautiful, and someday an eligible bachelor will sweep you off your feet. But I know it's not me. Not because of class or station or all the little trappings that pervade your world. But I have a wanderer's heart and even if I came to love you and this world for all it entails. Sooner or later I'd choke here, inside this gilded cage."

He turned to the door and started making his way out, but before the door Damain tunred around to face the princess.

"You're a prisoner of responsibility and title, both you carry very well. I imagine most of the choices that you've supposedly made were probably predetermined, predestined, ordained by your sacred birthright. Your walls are filled with men vying for your affections, your heart, your title. When the time comes, don't choose the one with the best connections, the one who would put you and another land in an alliance that would last for decades, the one with the biggest dowry, the most tanks, the biggest spiffy lord hat. Choose love. When the time comes, choose love."

And with that he exited the room.

William walked along and took in the beauty. Then he caught a glimpse of the child. Quickly he hid behind a bush and watched the child. He noticed that he wore a massive diamond on his hand. That means he would have to be a royal. Getting up from the bush he walked over to the child.The young lad seeing the man appoarch said," Greetings sir and welcome to my land and your clothes you seem to be a foreigner, no about seeking the hand the hand of my elder sister I might see as you seem to be like one of high enough birth to be worhty of marrying and you seem to alive to one of the many dignataeries here on a visit to the palace. So might I ask what is your name and country of orgin?"

The tea room was filled with constant reminders of grace, wonder and at the same time, sterility. When he arrived Damian was full of expectations, plans, plots, the wonders of the hunt. But in the tea room, it hit him.

And with that he exited the room.The Princess Elanor replied," Know this before you go that nothing is certain, duty is to one's choice, and birth only determines one's begginings not one's end."
