Royal Palace, Frederikia
The Royal Palace of Frederikia was built in the second half of the 19th Century for the Sviardian-Nordrvegrian Monarch Karl III. A quite impressive and large building, it differs not very much from any typical Northern Victoriumite Palace, especially those in northern Austiana from which it drew much inspiration. Marble and stone coloured in light, cold colours ensure that the Palace fits in with its surroundings which are covered in snow for most of the year.

Though technically the residence of HRM the King of the Realm, the Sviardian House which, at least ceremonially, ruled said Realm preffered to live in the Långöburg Palace in Sviardia. And who could blame them? The Palace of the much stronger and much more historically important larger Kingdom to the East was bigger, fancier, prettier and generally better in any imaginable way, including its direct contant with Långöburg's largest river and its quite extravagant surroundings.

Thus the Palace of Frederikia acted as the residence of the Duke of Frederikia, a title belonging to the oldest of the reigning Monarch's younger siblings. In this case the it was occupied by His Highness, Prince Hans Christian of Sviardia-Nordrvegria. Hans Christian was in many ways a brilliant man; smart, elegant, well-mannered and sociable. The skills and traits he posessed made him one of the top choices for a representative of the Realm abroad when the King was occupied and a Regent when he was absent. His tactical and strategic genius was also put into good use as he was both the de jure and de facto head of the Royal Nordrvegrian Army and the Nordrvegrian Armed Forces in general. This genius could be demonstrated by the fact that he had been Nordrvegria's top chess player for no less than six years, before being dethroned by Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen, the no.1 global chessmaster. As if that was not enough Hans Christian was a fine physicist and mathematician, that had been awarded not one but two Nobel Prizes by the Royal Sviardian Academy. That being said he knew posessed had all of these wonderful traits and skills and thus had an ego not even the Palace of the Zalviyan Czar could contain.

For this exact reason it was the task of the youngest of the Royal siblings to contain and counsel 'Fancy Baron Hans' as his friends were so fond of calling him; Prince Karl Harald of Sviardia-Nordrvegria. Karl was the kind of man who had great social skills but chose to use them only when absolutely necessary and also posessed an immense intellect. He was the kind of man who would constantly think, but fake being relaxed and would let on much, much less than he ever knew, even to many of his closest partners. He was the kind of man who could and would deal in intricate, Sherlock Homles-esque cloak and dagger intrigue for fun. Fortunately for the Realm, if not Noverra in its entirety, the man generally chose to deal with the arts to pass his time and avoid possible insanity. Once however he was committed to a task he would see it through perfectly, regardless of the consequences, being a dedicated and almost psychotic perfectionist. For this exact reason he was the Head of the Nordrvegrian Intelligence Service and the de facto webmaster of the entire Realm's spy web, a web that extended globally.

The appearance of the two men was quite similar to their characters, in that it bore a stark contrast. Hans Christian was a man of great elegance and beauty, with an impressive and well kept mustache and beard, white hair to his neck in length that was neither too long, nor too short, fine clothes, usually in his favourite shades of purple or dark red and an expensive cigar or cigarette almost always in hand. When smoking wasn't an option the finest of wines and other alcoholic beverages would fill his glass, while he even owned a vineyard, whose red wine had once won a silver award. His deep blue eyes and friendly face were quite welcoming even in his old age and he almost always made sure to smile.

Karl on the other hand was a man who preffered fanctionality and conservatism even in his clothing. He had always cut his hair short, even as a child, and getting bald only gave him yet anothe reason to continue this practice. His glasses, which he wore only when absolutely necessary, were made of titanium and were sleek and modern in their design. He chose grey or black suits with light blue or white shirts and dark blue or black ties, with similar shoes and pants for his clothing. His watch was quite expensive, made of silver in an elegant fashion that mixed traditional and modern characteristics, not unlike his world view. It was made of silver not because he could not afford a golden one, but because he had always preffered silver and diamonds to gold and precious stones. He rarely, if ever, smoked and preffered whisky, vodka and white (or "blond" as he and Hans preffered to call it) wine when it came to drinks. Unlike his brother he had a blund, calculative expression that fit his stone cold looking grey eyes, very pale skin and cold face, perfectly. While he was almost a decade younger than his older brother one could have though it was the other way around.

Both of the men, along with the Queen and Crown Princess, had come to the Palace to meet, in near absolute secrecy. The Queen had deep blue eyes and an expression of superiority on hair face which matched that of a thousand Cardinals. Even if she might have appeared snobish, Queen Margaret still gave everyone an impression of frankness, wisdom and goodness. She did not hesitate to be strict and was quite decisive in her action, a trait that had passed on to her eldest daughter. Despite her old age, her fashionable and elegant clothing, often coloured in dark sahdes of purple and green or in dark blue and white, along with her old but still warm face made it easy to see that the Queen must have been a truly beautiful woman in her younger years.

Her daughter had inherited the beauty of both of her parents, though her outside appearance made her look more like a female version of her father in his younger years. Crown Princess Leonora had a face and expression the befitted her nobility, fair skin, light blue eyes and silk-like blond hair. Despite her attractive appearance and excellent social skills Leonora had inherited not the kind, noble heart of her father but the calculative and strict nature of her mother, choosing to show her true affection, instead of a well kept façade, to very few people. Many had falsely said that she should have been born a man, for she instead knew very well that her kind of intrigue was that of a woman and a woman's talent in intrigue is one not even her uncle Karl could match. While she lacked experience, her uncle and mother were working on giving her just that tirelessly. Her father did try to cultivate a kinder nature in Leonora, for while a kind man, he was far from foolish and could look past any façade into a stone cold heart whose beat he and his wife had brought into the world. So far his actions had only little success, for how can one teach something to one who cares not to truly learn? Her uncle Hans Christian, a well known romanzo, had always believed finding true love would help Leonora in that area and nobody could really say he was wrong; they could instead hope that said love came quickly.

"Your Majesty and Her Highness become more beautiful with every meeting we have, it would seem." said Hans, welcoming the guests to the hall of the Palace.

"Oh please, dear brother, we are not paparazzi, you need not pretend to be blinded by female beauty to us." said Karl, dismissing his brother's praises to the two women next to him.

"You think falsely, if you believe that preffering the warmth of a relationship with another man prevents one from appreciating the naturally superior and truly divine beauty of the female creature, my dear Karl." replied Hans, eager to begin yet another debate with his brother.

"And since when do you believe in God, uncle?" Leonora joked, in her typical sharp fashion.

"Every time I see the beauty of this world, it makes my mind wonder about the subject once more, my dear. Though judging from how much the press sees you in Church you must be quite pious." Hans joked back, not neglecting to quickly put his cigarette back in his mouth.

"There are those of us who do care for appearances, my dear Hans." Queen Margaret said; while not intolerant towards Hans or those like him she did believe that 'private matters', as she put it, needed to be kept private.

"Your most excellent appearance indeed attests to that, my dear Margaret." replied Hans.

"We all do have our faults." Karl said, interrupting the small talk that had overtaken the group. "Nevertheless I do believe that it would not hurt us not to stray from our subject. After all the older ones have quite a lot to plan and the younger ones quite a lot to learn from the former's planning." he added.

"I do wonder in which group you should be included, my beloved Karl." Hans noted, without receiving any reply from a brother who already knew the needlessness of one and the enjoyment it would bring to Hans. Instead, he chose to continue climbing the stairs that would lead to the floor where the room their private discussion would take place in was.

Royal Palace, Frederikia
After finally climbing the stairs, the quarteto headed toward the drawing room. Normally this room would be used to welcome visitors, but its thick walls, place away from spying eyes and comfort made it ideal for the secretive meeting of the King's younger brothers, the Queen and the Crown Princess. The room was painted white, with goldern ornaments all around, built in an impressive late baroque style. Plenty of light entered from the windows of the left side of the room, while a large, ornate table with six comfortable chairs laid at the centre of the room. The doors were closed behind the four Royals, while they took their seats to start conversing.

"I read the latest of your achievements in the news." Queen Margaret said to Karl, without wasting any time before starting the conversation; "I am however interested on how you are going to pull of the next phase of the plan without costing us too much, dear." she added.

"If cost is what you're concerned about then you will be happy to know that out of service or barely working junk can work wonders with a new hand of paint and a few metal additions. The Press will do the rest. In fact I believe our report is scheduled to come out today." Karl replied.

"Once your 'report' gets out will it be enough to get parliament with us?" Leonora asked.

"A report on a shelling will maybe get you to pass a few sanctions. With the spice of supposed saboteurs we captured, it might get you a few more. Our little fireworks display, however? Once that's done they'll buy you a Death Star if you ask for it." Karl replied out, cigarette in hand.

"And how soon do you plan to start the operation's second phase?" Leonora asked, while holding one of her hands together, her arms forming an Λ shape.

"Oh but it has already started, my dear." Hans pointed out, while Karl smiled, flattering himself isndie his own mind about his plan's success. A few shell shots, presenting the public with some long-abandoned captured foreign agents as 'saboteurs' and having some junk plains blow up some junk tanks, both with a new hand of paint and the right markings, was enough to make the blood of the people boil. 'People are simpletons' he always thought, and this situation only served to re-affirm his belief.

"What if anyone tries to expose this?" Queen Margaret asked. Karl's face returned from a fain smile back to an expression of seriousness. He knew that Margaret was much smarter than to assume Karl was an amateur but Leonora was not experienced enough to do so. If anything Margaret was voicing the questions her daughter was to embarassed to ask, but needed the answers to.

"Don't worry, I have my most trusted people on this. Anybody tries to betray us or dig too deep, we'll call them mad, treasonous, have them 'disappear', 'suicide' them or all combined. Besides, with our friends overseas on our side, this should be over before dinner time, a month from now." Karl replied. He knew very well that his excuse for what was about to happen did not really need to be a work of art, though he preffered to give it his best out of personnal vanity. As long as he had something barely passable and acceptable, nothing else mattered. Like an ant caught up between a hammer and an anvil, anybody standing in the way of Karl's dream of a united Skåne would be crushed.

Field Base of Tank Battalion 'Rehnskiöld', 'Lejonet från norr' Exercise Zone, Southern Sviardia
The summer was coming to an end and Sviardia's skies were once again being covered by clouds, day after day. This however was the perfect setting for an air wing flying old, otherwise decomissioned fighters, acting as the 'Op-For' in this exercise. Ground radars had been jummed, as would happen in a normal attack, while the planes moved down from the cloud for a bomb-drop.

"Ørn Actual, this is Command, please confirm your location, over." said a voice, coming out of the communciation radio in Johan's cockpit.

"Command, this is Ørn Leader. We're right about to enter bombing range, over." Johan replied, his hand opening the small cover of the red button on his pilot stick.

"Roger Ørn Actual, good hunting. Command out, over." the voice replied back.

"We're going in Ørn Pack!" Johan said, speaking to the other pilots.

"Roger, Ørn Leader." the all replied, as the planes descended from the clouds, entering bombing range. A set of two "Tank Battalions", consisting of 24 newly repainted decomissioned old tanks lay in wait, lined up. The planes unleashed a set of anti-armour missiles, destroyed the tanks, many flying in the air or exploding into parts while a fire covered the small valley. The blast could be seen and heard from afar, but the are was cordoned before much media attention could reach it. Karl wanted just enough media attention to get everyone on the edge but not enough for people to start asking unwanted questions. A single old plane, which had been brought there and shot with an AA missile to make it look like it was shot down, laid next to the destroyed tanks, also ablaze.

All units are ordred to invade Medaian territory and engage any Medaian troops encountered with intent to kill. Use of deathly force is not only authorised but mandated. It should however be noted that force is to be directed against appropriate military targets only. Galaican-Malborgian troops are to be regarded as friendly and not engaged under any circumstances. The exercises under the code name 'Lejonet från norr' are hereby terminated.
