The Courtroom of the Supreme Court was, just like the rest of the building, an architectural marvel, a testament to Valkany's ancient history. Light poured in brightly from the glass dome, with the walls painted in Renaissance style rich and intricate paintings depicting the conquest and civilization of pre-Greek Valkany by the first Valkanian colonists, lead by King Attalus I as well as many important scenes from Valkanian history. The entirety of the walls and roof were decorated in rich, Cornthian style, with Corinthian style pillars on both sides of the central pathway leading to the Judge's dock. Above it was the Valkanian Coat of Arms with the country's motto "Ισχύς μπυ η αγάπη του λαού." (my power is my people's love).![]() The seats were destributed on both sides of the pathway, the furthest from it the more elevated to allow everyone to see clearly. Everything in the building seemed to be made of bright white marble, while everything not white, even the tiles of the floor, had been painstakingly decorated with meanders and other ancient Valkanian decorations, even the roof. And as the time for the ceremony grew near the doors of the Courtroom opened. The King and Queen, in full ceremonial dress were followed by a large entourage of nobles and servants moving toward the Supreme Court Judge. Those sitting on both sides of the pathway to observe stood up as the chorus started singing while The ceremonial guards on both sides of pathway holding the Vexillums of the Valkanian Marine Legions stood in attention. The Royal entourage walked to the Judge's dock, where the last guard held the Vexillum of the 16th Marine Legion, the King's Own Guard, stood in attention. ![]() The King and Queen stood before the Judge who begun to speak. "Do you Prince Markos Antonios of the Noble House of Valkanikos-Romios solemnly swear to faithfully execute your duties as King of the Valkanians, both to your people and your state, and in the best of your ability to protect and defend the Constitution, the Senate and the People of the Valkanian Kingdom whose eternal servant you are as they are the sole source of power within this great nation, willing to give up your life and everything you own in pursuit of this noble task?" asked the Judge, while holding the Constitution in his hand; The Prince placed his hand on the book and replied; "I Prince Markos Antonios of the Noble House of Valkanikos-Romios solemnly swear to faithfully execute my duties as King of the Valkanians, both to my people and my state, and in the best of my ability to protect and defend the Constitution, the Senate and the People of the Valkanian Kingdom whose eternal servant I am as they are the sole source of power within this great nation, willing to give up my life and everything I own in pursuit of this noble task." The Judge then turned to the Prince's wife. "Do you Princess Consort Eleni of the Noble House of Karavokiris solemnly swear to be and remain a Queen faithful to your people, your state and your husband, the King, to advise and support him in times of need and if he thinks of giving up and not executing his oath to force him back into compliance as is the duty of a wife and a Queen?" "I, Princess Consort Eleni of the Noble House of Karavokiris, solemnly swear to be and remain a Queen faithful to my people, my state and my husband, the King, to advise and support him in times of need and if he thinks of giving up and not executing his oath to force him back into compliance as is the duty of a wife and a Queen." replied Eleni; Two servants moved forward with the crown jewels of the King and Queen Consort of Valkany. The Judge placed the crowns on the heads of the King and the Queen Consort. ![]() Crown of the King. Crown of the Queen Consort. "Then I, Judge Solon Polifitos, in my capacity as Judge of the Supreme Court of Cassation of the Valkanian Kingdom and with the authority granted to me by the Senate and the People of Valkany, as per the Constitution, hereby declare your King and Queen Consort of the Valkanians, under the names Markos Antonios, King of the Valkanians and Eleni, Queen Consort of the Valkanians." he said; "You may now rise, as King and Queen Consort of the Valkanians." The two rose and turned around while the guards kneeled and everyone present bowed. Edited by Sviardia-Nordrvegria, Nov 14 2014, 06:59 PM.

Slivanus bowed his head, but refused to do a full bow. While he was not intending to show disrespect, it would be very bad for a Legantian president to be seen bowing to a Monarch. Appearances had to be kept. |

The Royal Couple walked out of the room through the ornate hallways. They moved to the stairs outside the Courthouse where the Judge already stood proclaiming the news to the crowds. "We have a King!" he said with the people exploding with excitement; The couple stood by the stairs leading down to the ground level, greeting the crowd and waiting for the guests to exit the building and get to their cars which would take them to the Royal Palace where the celebrations would take place. ![]() The staircase outside the Supreme Court of Cassation.

Ambassador Kythira glanced around as she left the building, taking in the extremely boisterous crowd as she made her way toward the street. She could understand the sentiment, not that she had any experience with it. For a people that had just gone through two coups--the republican movement’s street protests followed by the bloody reinstatement of royal authority--it was evident that the Valkanians wanted the stability that this coronation symbolized. The ambassador could only hope for their sake that the symbolism of the coronation would be followed by a real period of stability and security. Indeed, while Achaian Peloponnese and Valkany shared an interest in the united strength of the region, Kythira hoped for Valkany’s stability for her own nation’s sake, as well. But as the ambassador made her way toward the street and her waiting car, she found herself wondering about the ceremony she had just witnessed… and more importantly, the guests in whose company she found herself. Valkanian nobles and officials were thick on the ground, of course, but Kythira was not the only international observer to take part. Queen Charlotte of Izalith had attended, which had been a pleasant surprise to Kythira, who had been told not to expect such interest from Izalith in another nation’s affairs. Likewise, the queen of even-more-distant Lyranona had made an appearance, which boded well for that nation’s interest in international affairs. These arrivals were surprising, but not, perhaps, any more surprising than Kythira’s own presence. Achaian Peloponnese had not made a habit of attending other nations’ ceremonies, and the anax had only sent a representative to this one in order to express his hope that Valkany would be able to put its past turmoil behind it and fashion itself into a strong partner for Victorium and the League. The extremely surprising guests, however, made Kythira think twice about those hopes. Gilead and Legantus, nations whose appearance hadn’t even been considered by the Office of International Political Outreach, had chosen not merely to send representatives, but to instead display their own heads of state: King Gregorius and President Silvanus, two of the most dangerous men in Noverra as far as the Megaron was concerned. It would have been absolutely shocking in any other court; in Valkany’s ever-shifting political landscape, it was somewhat less likely to induce cardiac arrest, but it was still a completely unexpected wrinkle, and Ambassador Kythira knew from the moment that King Gregorius and his entourage had followed her into the Areios Pagos that her workload on this trip had increased significantly. At the very least, the Megaron could not simply trust Valkany to be any more rigid in its support of its neighbors than the previous government had been. Nodding to the driver as he held her car door open, the ambassador settled into the backseat and considered just how difficult it would be to get an interview with the newly-crowned king before the end of the coronation reception. At the very least, Kythira wanted a clear indication of Valkany’s diplomatic and political orientation before she returned to the Megaron to give her report. |

As the cars arrived in the palace of Saint George, in the Southern Suburbs of Pergamon, the nature buzzed all around them, rich and prosperous with land animals, plants, birds and even fish in lakes all enjoying the miracle of life at its fullest. The Palace itself was an architectural marvel of the Renaissance, in a rich Neo Classical style. The palace's gardens. A fountain in the gardens. The main facade. Antony was the first one to walk of the car, showing the guests into the palace, through the elaborate main entrance's staircase. The main staircase. As they walked through the ornate neoclassical halls of gold, crystal and marble they finally reached the throne room. Antony sat at the throne for the first time and then allowed the celebration to begin, as servants brouht in food and asked the guests what they wanted to eat from a wide range of Valkanian specialities such as lobster, meat, fish and much more. The guests could finally freely interact between eahcother and with the King. The throne room. |

At the crowning, the King and Prince bowed their heads generously. In Gilead, it was thought that none was worthy of a full bow other than God himself. Not even Gregorius, the People's King, had ever received a formal full bow. A few people found themselves ignorant enough here and there to give him one after realizing his identity, but he always kindly corrected them. They were glad that the processions were short and quick. As the dignitaries all filed out, Gregorius looked around, marking the resemblance between this city and that of coastal HeavenGate. While the Valkanians might not have been colonizers of the New World, their influence was definitely felt on architecture; the founding patrons had desired a less Dawinian look after independence was won. Walking regally, yet with purpose, they made their way to the newly crowned King and Queen-consort. Both men bowed their heads again, then Gregorius proceeded to say, "Your Majesties, King and Queen of the Valkanian People, I am simply in joyous spirits for your ascent." |

The King and Queen returned the gesture with Antony replying quite hapily "It is great to hear that from Your Majesty, a friend of the Valkanian People and ruler of Gilead, a friend of Valkany." Antonius stood up from the throne, since everyone had started chating, dining and otherwise enjoying themselves and spoke to Gregorius again. "Would Your Majesty like a tour? I am sure we could use an amicable conversation." he said with a small smile on his face; Edited by Sviardia-Nordrvegria, Nov 21 2014, 12:07 AM.

Gregorius smiled, "Of course, Majesty." The Prince looked around at the dignitaries who adorned the throne room. After brief calculation, he added, "I'm sorry, Majesty, but I will have to respectfully decline your offer. I have some diplomatic occupations of my own. I'm sure my father is great enough company though." With that, he smiled, lightly bowed his head to the Valkanian royals and his father, then left. |

The King smiled. Well that takes another obstacle from my little chat with King Gregorius away thoguht Antonius. "Of course Your Highness, please enjoy yourself and talk to anyone you want." said the King. He then started walking with Gregorius toward the door to be able to speak more privately, while not ignoring his guests. "It must be a strange year for Your Majesty. To have met two Valkanian monarchs within a year." he said. Edited by Sviardia-Nordrvegria, Nov 21 2014, 10:29 PM.
