OOC: Two answers to the same post? Almost not sure which one to answer, QC IV.

IC: "Several, sir. My first play was of the romance genre and it was quite saddening to perform in because the plot was so touching....and this bared on me since I played the lead female role."

"I am sure that you were quite magnificent, Alice. It is always nice to meet someone who can pretend to be someone else, even for a limited time."

The choir began to sing in their angelic voices as a group of people including the Archbishop of Anglia and some senior bishops of the Church were taking their positions and preparing themselves for what was to come next. As the choir was singing, the guests could see a figure emerging from the west door of the Cathedral. Charlette, who was quite emotionless as she walked towards the throne awaiting her, kept an eye on all the guests that she could see; especially Gerald and Iohannes. She bowed respectfully before the altar before taking her seat on the throne while the choir sung the following Psalm.

The Lamonians had already quieted down before the choir started to sing. While the Archbishop and the others looked resplendent in their robes, Gerald only had eyes for Charlette when she came out. If he thought that she had looked beautiful before, then she looked positively angelic in the formal robes of state. He was very happy when he saw Charlette looking directly at him before she went to bow before the altar.

Celebratory gunfire was heard by the guests and the cousins of Charlette and others were adorning themselves with their royal attire. Prominent people in the Royal Court were bowing before Charlette to pay homage and swear loyalty to her; including Reginald and Thomas. After some more words, rituals and bows, Queen Charlette VI of Anglia and the Norwich Islands and the new Countess of Acroix, adorned with robes and jewels, was silently escorted out of the Cathedral and sent away to the Marble Palace while foreign guests were told after the choir finished singing the Te Deum that they could stay in Anglia for a bit or leave. Charlette could only think about Gerald, Iohannes, and the coronation. She was now the Queen; though she never expected that she ever would be.

Gerald wasn't quite too sure of the celebratory gunfire yet, but the older men in the Lamonian party paid it no mind. With the finish of Te Deum, everyone was told that they could stay in Anglia for awhile, or go home. Gerald was to be an aide to his father in the Lamonian embassy in Anglia, so he knew that he would be staying there for a good long time. With Charlette now being Queen, he was certain that he would find out one way or the other if Charlette had thought of him even close to what he thought of her.

President Stinson meanwhile, would spend the night at the embassy, and fly back to Lamoni in the morning. There was no better way to break in a new Lamonian embassy, after all. Some of the staff had never met him before, so that was also a plus.

Holy Emperor Severus stepped out of the Cathedral and lit up a cigar. As he took a puff on his cigar, he pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number.

"Lepidus." The voice at the other end answered dreerily. There was the sound of a woman talking to him in the background.

"Hello Octavius." Severus greeted as he tapped some ash off his cigar.

"Oh, hello highn- One second." Octavius answered.

Lucius could hear Octavius asking his wife to go into another room for a minute which made him smirk.

"OK, I'm back, sorry about that." Octavius said with a huff. "How's it going?"

"Swell, we just finished up here and I'm thinking I'm going to make my way back to Saint Alexander pretty soon." Severus responded as he took a puff on his cigar.

"How did everything go? Did you get to meet with the Queen?" Octavius asked.

"No, she seemed too busy flirting, you and I approved an embassy with this country so any trading offers and the like can be lodged through that." Severus answered.

"Good point, but anyway you slice the pie, it was still good that you went." Octavius said as he took a sip of a drink.

"I suppose, how's your vacation going?" Severus asked as he began to make his way down the stairs of the cathedral.

"Oh, it's going pretty well... Lake Christus is still a bit chilly but the weather is pretty nice." Octavius responded.

"Well, I'll give you a few more days down there but when I get back I have a lot to catch up on and I'll need you around." Severus said.

"Naturally, Highness." Octavius said with a chuckle. "Anyway, if there's nothing else my wife is starting to get impatient."

"No, nothing else... I'll see you in a few days old friend." Severus concluded as he snapped his phone shut.

After a short car ride to the airport, Holy Emperor Tiberius Lucius Severus was on a plane heading back to Rathanan.

The "tutor", Peter, gave Lady Raikone a professional once-over. After receiving some unseen signal, the young prince replied with cool courtesy, returning her look for look. "No, my Lady, these seats aren't taken yet." He was clearly tense, almost as if he expected somthing to go wrong....

The young, almost militarily straight-postured noblewoman smiled. "In that case..."

Without further ado, she sat herself down, deftly straightening both her knee-length skirt and the ceremonial dagger she carried on her side. Her eyes cast a quick glance at the prince, trying to set him in some kind of an age bracket...

Hannah laughed at his comment and used her cane to get up and got herself to lean on Shmidt.

Shmidt led the Queen to one of the front pews, and sat down down nearby to watch the coronation. Upon it's completion he stood up and walked back to where Hannah was seated. "Please inform me when me may speak of your brother, for it is a matter of great importance to the League." he said, leaning towards her and speaking in his native language. "Will you be staying in Anglia for a time, or returning to the United Kingdom immediately?"

"Yes I shall tell you soon mr friend very soon but not now. I plan to stay in Anglia for awhile".
