Anax Kerameikos considered the letter in his hand for a moment before glancing at Basileus Kifisia and Minister Peiraias, who stood on the other side of his desk. “Can either of you think of a reason not to attend this event?” he asked.

Kifisia looked over at Peiraias, who shook his head. “It would serve no purpose to offend Valkany at this stage,” the minister said. “Crown Prince Andrew might no longer be the head of Valkany’s government, but his apology remains in force. We would be wise to avoid being forced to send a few apologies of our own in the future.”

The anax turned to Basileus Kifisia, who only shrugged her shoulders. “As much as I wouldn’t want to entangle us with Valkany while its… ‘political shifts’ continue, at the same time we cannot form any stance regarding Valkany while we remain ignorant. By inviting us to this coronation, Valkany gives us the opportunity to figure out just where it will stand.”

“Where it will stand for as long as this Markos Antonios remains king, at least,” muttered Kerameikos. Still, he nodded his head. “Valkany is a headache,” he said. “Nonetheless, for now it is our headache to bear. As neighbors, we are simply too close to ignore one another. As fellow members of the League, we cannot divide ourselves now.” The anax reached for yet another sheet of stationery. “Basileus, prepare Ambassador Kythira for a short journey,” he ordered Kifisia. “At the very least, she can expect a good meal while she is away.”


To Prince Markos Antonios of Valkany:
Kerameikos, anax of the Achaians, sends Greetings!

I am pleased to learn of Your Highness’s approaching coronation, and I am most grateful for Your Highness’s invitation to attend. In my place, I send Ambassador Kythira to represent the Megaron and the good will of the Achaian people and government.

I truly hope that, with this event, Valkany’s troubles will be put behind her, and the star of the nation shall rise once more.

Most sincerely,

Kerameikos

"What about Valkany," the King inquired. He was discussing international affairs with his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Addison Banks.

Addison mulled over the thought of such a confusing nation, then he replied, "Well, the Crown Prince is still ill, and the family is...mourning. How-"

Curious, Gregorius stopped him and asked what illness(es) had been reported.

Addison, much like the King himself, abhorred interruptions in conversation, but they were natural, he guessed, "Hmm, well, I'm not quite sure. I didn't pay particularly close attention. I've been more focused on discovering who will succeed him if would be unfit to lead." Though, in his own mind, Addison thought the Crown Prince was incompetent enough to lead, but he found most people incompetent. "But, now it's been announced that his brother will rule, as you well enough know."

Gregorius laughed, "I take it the Pope won't get his imperial hands on the crown this go around then, huh?"

Finally, something Addison could laugh at, "No, not at all!"

The two of them finished laughing and went on babbling about the world and Gilead's place in it all. Towards the end, an aide came fourth with the Coronation invite from Valkany. Addison made a quip about the pope's invitation which made the King, himself, and the aide chuckle.

Right away, His Majesty began drafting his acceptance letter, or his RSVP, so to speak. He thought, "Well, Adeline has been complaining about not getting out much this year. This should be fun for her, hopefully."

Areios Pagos, Supreme Court of Cassation
The weather in Pergamon was as normal, warm and sunny. While winter was surely coming, the Valkanian afternoon seemed determined to ignore the former and continue as normal. Expecting the guests to arrive within the hour the Valkanians had made all preparations they could to ensure this important day was going to be as pleasant and spectacular as possible.

The Prince's Limousine moved to the Supreme Court surrounded by a security detail and with large crowds cheering on all edges of Vasileos Attalou street, waving flags and screaming "God save the King!" at the top of their voices (Ο Θεός να προστατεύσει τον Βασιλιά!). Both young and old, men and women, rejoiced. The car stopped outside the Supreme Court and the Prince stepped out of the car along with his wife, waving to the crowd which now exploded with excitement.

They started walking up the stairs with Ceremonial Naval Guards on both sides of the way standing in attention. They then stood near the gate, waiting for the guests, both Valkanian and foreign to come so the Royal Couple could personally welcome them. Irene also sat next to Antony, while she held letters from Andrew, written by hand in his typical extravagant calligraphy, to give to each guests as he could not attend in person.

Imperial Gardens
Palacio Imperial de Hamunaptra
Hamunaptra, Dawinia


As the cool, crisp air of autumn blows, the trees sway in the wind, making a sort of calming sound to drown out the cacophony of the city outside the walls. The sun was making its way to meet the horizon in the west, producing a hue of colours engulfing the what was blue sky, into a range of reds and oranges; dusk is imminent in a few hours.

Emperor Antonío happily sits outside in the gardens, observing nature in its finest. No matter human ingenuity, there are just something that man could not do as well as nature itself. Accompanied with him was a platter of various fruits and cheeses, situated on a tray, suspended from a poled-tripod. His seat is partially reclined, as a cache of El Real Seleccione (The Royal Select), a highly talented branch of the Imperial Philharmonic, hand-chosen to play for the Emperor and the Household in their palaces and other places of concern, play a small composition.

He grabs a piece of cut honeydew melon from the tray and eats it, continuing to listen to the music being, so eloquently, played. As if it was planned, one of the Emperor's aides walks outside, to Antonío , clutching a letter, a fountain pen (the usual standard in Dawinia), a flat rectangular pad of smooth/polished wood, and a blank letterhead of the Emperor's own office.

"Your Majesty," the young, blonde-haired women says, courtesying by his side, "you have a letter from the Valkanians again. I've taken the liberty of bringing the materials you'd need for a response."

"Ah, thank you," responded Antonío, as he whips his hands on a napkin, grabbing the things from the aide, "And oh, your pro-activeness is much appreciated as well. That'll be all."

As she starts to walk away, he breaks the seal and begins to read the letter. It was short and to the point, lacking the usual finery that came from other monarchies that he was used to receiving communications from. As he finished the letter, he laughed to himself.

"Wait," he called out to the aide, who comes back to his side hastily, "this will only take but a minute, as I write my response. You'll take it straight, upon my conclusion."

ΒΑΛΚΑΝΙΚΗ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΑ


Your Majesty,

The idea that having a Priest crown a King instead of a Supreme Court Judge, an elected and direct representative of the people, is foreign to us. Perhaps that might be the Dawinian way but down In the land of Philosophers and Scholars we do not see it as such.

Divinity is a concept in which neither I nor the Valkanian constitution, a far more sacred document than any 'Holy Scripture', believe in and certainly not a large part of my people, whose celebrations show their approval of my 'faithless' coronation which aims to inspire unity among all Valkanians, despite their views of divinity.

You yourself lack a coronation and even if a priest were to put a Crown on Your Majesty's head that would be far less legitimate by our standards. Your Holy Mother Church is yours and yours alone, as the Valkanian Constitution recognizes no institution bearing that name. We assume you refer to the Catholic Church, whose Valkanian members are steadily declining after Atheism is no longer seen as wrong by our state, allowing countless Valkanians to abandon or change their faith. I would also like to correct you as I am officially an Atheist and my state has separated itself from religion, teaching Evolution and other such scientific ideals of progress in schools.

Frankly I find it that your ideas of Legitimacy through Religion are not only outdated but not worth wasting precious paper and ink on. I wish your the best of luck in your future endeavors and since there is no God to protect any one realm in my eyes and that of my state and people you will surely need it.

Most Respectfully Yours,
Prince Markos Antonios of Valkany

Ambassador Kythira looked around as her diplomatic vehicle approached the Areios Pagos and began to slow down. Though the crowds surrounded the roadway, she could see the edifice of the Areios Pagos rising up above them, and the banners of Valkany flying in the breeze above it. It looked impressive enough, the ambassador thought; it was clearly an older construction dating back to a more stable time, and she could only hope that it was an omen for Valkany’s future.

The car passed in front of the court building, where a gap was maintained in the crowd to allow the ascending royal and his guests to reach the building from the street. As soon as the car door opened, Kythira stepped out and onto the pavement, straightening her shoulders and giving a smile to the Valkanian public as she walked toward the steps leading to the columned portico ahead of her. She could see Prince Markos waiting beside his wife at the gate, and gave him a respectful nod as she reached him. “Your Highness,” she began, “on behalf of the anax of Achaian Peloponnese, I thank you for the invitation to your coronation. Achaian Peloponnese wishes Your Highness well, and wishes your nation good fortune under your rule.”

A servant walked toward Antony as he was getting dressed to go to his Coronation. She bowed slightly before adressing him.

"Your Highness. I have a new letter from the Dawinians." she said;

Antony continued getting dressed;
"Kalliopi, my dear, would you please open it and give me a summary?" he said. While only a Monarch should open his personnal communication he didn't really care.

She started reading. A couple of minutes later she spoke again;
"It's just them scolding Your Highness, 'begging your pardon' and the like and then saying something about having good students."

"Typical barbarians." replied Antony; "Throw it into a fireplace would ya? Or maybe the restroom.And then make sure somebody of low class uses it before you flash. That thing is a waste of paper and it can't even double as toilet paper."

"As you wish, Your Highness." said the servant smiling slightly;

They both laughed, following which the old, trusted servant moved to carry out the Prince's orders.

The Prince and his wife bowed too and so did Irene.

"We are honoured to have you here Miss Kythira." said Antony, speaking in the Greek dialect of Achain Peloponnese, quite happy to see those invited arrive; "Achain Peloponnese has many common points with our nation and improving our relations is one of my primary concerns."

"But we should not bother you with such politics when you just arrived, should we Madam?" noted Antony's wife ;

"Perhaps we could continue inside, in a more comfortable way, don't you think?" said Irene while smiling, extending her arm in the direction of the interior, where the Coronation would take place;

Gregorius felt like it was he was on campaign during his presidential candidacy period. With him was his eldest son, HRH Prince Gregory. The crowds welcomed his motorcade with great fanfare as the kingdom's flag fluttered as the cars slowly turned streets until finally making it to the Areios Pagos.

Their car came to a gradual stop, then one of the Elitist Guard opened his door, cheering flowing inward. First to exit was His Majesty. His shining, black oxfords touched down on the Valkanian ground, symbolizing the first foreign visitation by the King in months. His black suit and white tie were adorned by a blue stole with his coat of arms embroidered at the bottom of each side. The Prince followed behind wearing similar clothing, minus the stole.

When they reached the Prince, his wife, and Princess Irene, they respectfully bowed their heads and greeted them. Gregorius took the letter that Irene was handing him.
