A gaggle of government figures stood by the runway. Soon, the night would be pierced by the lights of the plane carrying the Crown prince's fiance.

Volodea loved the Crown Prince of Dekho with all her heart - her desire to be with him intensified minute after minute as she sat on the private jet she had been given to use as transport to her lover's nation. Born into a nobleman's family and raised in the ways of the noble girls scattered through Ixania, Volodea had met the Crown Prince on her visit to Dekho and, with a smile, fondly remembered the courting process he undertook to win her heart - the coup de grace of the blissful symphony having been the proposal of marriage and her family's enthusiastic support of the idea. As she sat on the jet, Volodea wondered what her life would be like as the Crown Princess and eventually as the Queen of Dekho - she wouldn't mind getting into politics or representing her husband's people as if they were her own. She knew that she would have to adorn her existence with responsibilities and, of course, she was prepared to fulfill each and every one of them.

As the jet landed on the smooth runway of the Dekhan airport, Volodea walked out in a lovely and elegant suit that complimented the figure that bewitched Aristo - she looked around and noticed the jubilant crowd. Soon, she would begin a new chapter in her life.
