The Extinction of a Dynasty?

Often the birthdays of monarchs and others of royalty in Kalvenia was a reason for great celebration, and this day, the birthday of the recently and newly crowned monarch, Queen Juliet who just turned eighteen was no exception. However, there was also a reason to be concerned.

Queen Juliet was the oldest of three sisters, the others were Caroline (14) and Violet (10). There were some people who were hoping that Juliet would marry a nobleman or someone like that, but their dreams seemed to grow more away from reality as Juliet rejected them all.

Therefore, a group of politicians discussed things with the "Royal Agency" (the group that represents the Monarchy) and decided they would seek for a foreign suitor, hopefully a good one.

--------------------

One evening, Queen Juliet was sitting at her desk in her bedroom, looking into the mirror with her auburn colored hair all left to dangle, the blue eyes she posessed looking at her reflection. Juliet thought about a marriage with a foreigner and admittingly was concerned and a bit wary of the idea.

She heard a knock at the door and the voice of a young woman. Ever since childhood, Sarah-Jane Tillman was the close friend of Juliet and often tried to be there to help if possible.

"They have printed a letter, Juliet." Sarah-Jane said to her royal friend as Juliet turned around to see a young woman dressed in a nightgown, a corset could be seen exposed through the light green colored material.

"They have? I wonder who shall respond to it." Juliet said, combing her hair for a moment. "I will not marry any man who seeks to bring problems to me or my nation. Monarchs too can be patriotic." Juliet continued to say.

"Juliet, I doubt there will a problem waiting for you behind the corner, I am sure whoever is accepted shall prove himself to be an acceptable suitor." Sarah-Jane said, leaning against the door. She tried to be there for her friend during her situation.

"Hopefully my sisters will not have to be in my shoes." Juliet said before getting into her bed. Sarah-Jane smiled and left the room and went to bed and everyone slept for the remainder of the night.

Alexander Hartman yawned for a moment as he worked on the letter in the early hours of the morning. While he did wish to go home and sleep in his comfortable bed with his wife, he did posess some belief in maintaining the monarchy and did not mind overtime work.

The letter which he was making sure was acceptable and ready for sending read as follows:

"After significant consideration, the nation of Kalvenia is looking for foreign suitors who are interested in marrying Queen Juliet of Kalvenia and creating a dynastic link between their two families. All suitors who are interested can apply by contacting the Foreign Ministry of Kalvenia."

Alexander Hartman studied the letter for a brief moment before getting it sent to the nations of the world. He smiled and then got into his car and went to his home, where to his surprise his wife was still awake....and had some energy for some romantic deeds.

Hopefully, some nations would respond to the letter and hopefully everything would be secure and contain no trace of problems.

I do hope I can get some interest for this, I thought of the idea while thinking of how to get my nation out to people.
