[Visit] Collecting the Lady Fjǫrleif's Insignia

The Imperial State of Constancia: Benevolent hereditary dictatorship, constitutional monarchy, laissez-faire technocracy, aristocratic corporate state, organized crime family syndicate or liberal autocracy? It depends on the day.

[Visit] Collecting the Lady Fjǫrleif's Insignia

Post by King Noah »

King Noah was quite angry with himself.

By Freyja!, he thought, I feel like such a fool. Why on earth had he allowed himself to be used as an errand boy by the Princess Fjǫrleif?!

His Lady Sister had had the insolent impudence to interrupt him during his quest to find Anwyn Moonoak, contacting him at the abode of the Marquis and Marquise of Klaasiya, the stepfather and mother of Anwyn Moonoak. The latter, who was also known as Lady Gwyneth Moonoak, was the matriarch of the Moonoak clan and from her the young King had learnt that Anwyn had moved to the New Hazel Woods in the Natopian space colony New Lindstrom Colony on Tarsica, the moon of Micras. Anwyn was planning to become a priestess and is expected to remain with the Trees on Tarsica.

That would, of course, not bring his pursuit of Anwyn to an end. He had ordered that the Vinland - the space vessel that his Lord Grandfather, the High King of Stormark, had received as a wedding gift from Anwyn's late uncle, Emperor Nathan of Natopia, when he tied tied the knot with the late High Queen Asa - be made ready for a trip to Tarsica so that he could try and win her back. The Marquis and Marquise of Klaasiya had convinced him to stay at their abode for a couple of days to rest and relax and he had done so, partially out of politeness and partially out of exhaustion.

To his very annoyment His Lady Sister had managed to reach him by visiophone and more or less directed him to go to the Kingdom of Constancia and collect her insignia of a Member of the Order of the Constantines, an order she had been awarded by the Basileus Peter III of Constancia in recognition for creating a coat of arms for his Kingdom. How dare she!, he had thought and was aboutto chastize her that he is not to be ordered around, but she gave him one of her irresistible smiles with a sweet innocent look in her sparkling blue eyes. King Noah yielded without a fight and off he went to Constancia, a realm on the continent of Eura which was largely unknown to him.

Sitting in the back of the royal limousine that had picked him from Constancia's National Airport and fastly approaching the Great Palace of Vey, the residence of the Basileus, he resolved to get this matter done with as soon as possible as good manners allowed.

The young King got out of the royal limousine and was escorted into the Great Palace of Vey by senior Constancian royal officials, where he expected to be received by the Basileus of Constancia and be presented by him with his Lady Sister's insignia of a Member of the Order of the Constantines.

The Basileus had got everything prepared to receive Princess Fjǫrleif and officially award her with the Order of the Constantines. By tradition, the ceremony was a very demanding occasion indeed.

In another sign of thankfulness, the Basileus had decided that not only one member of his family would be present. He was accompanied by his wife, Cleo, and his daughter Olympia.

As Petros got the message that the Princess Fjǫrleif would not be attending the ceremony herself, but rather it would be King Noah to receive it in her place, the Basileus felt a bit disappointed. However, on second thought, it would allow him to meet the future King of Elwynn - an influential figure.

Petros had arranged that King Noah be escorted from the National Airport and the three Royals were awaiting him at the Palace. It was a warm and sunny day in Constancia and the family was at its best - the Basileus and his spouse looked outstandigly majestic, while the young Olympia surely gave the reason why she was Princess of Hearts.

Then they saw the limosine coming and prepared to receive the King. By protocol, the Basileus and the King were not introduced to one another, but rather nodded their heads. Both Cleo and Olympia curtsied to Noah, the latter giving expression of her famous stunning smile. However, after the protocol was over, the Basileus and the King shaked their hands in front of the cameras and the public.

The four Royals then went straight into the Megálo Paláti tou Vey where at a secret ceremony Noah was awarded with the Order of the Constantines, acting on behalf of the Princess Fjǫrleif. As on other occassions like this, the receiver sweared to give the order to its holder in good faith and will and also in due course.

After it, a dinner in Noah's name took place, giving way for a less official coversations and closer discussions...

From the very moment he laid his eyes on her, King Noah was completely captivated by the Princess of Hearts.

Instantly falling with her, every thought about Anwyn Moonoak and his quest to find melted away like snow in the desert sun. By Freyja! What a woman! So beautiful, gracious and regal! Really every inch a Princess!

It took the young King a tremendous mental effort to keep paying attention to the ceremony in he was invested the Order of the Constantines on behalf of his sister, the Princess Fjǫrleif of Elwynn, constantly struggeling not to let his looks and thoughts wander off to Princess Olympia. He sighed with relief when his ordeal was over and the royal company proceeded to the Royal Banquet Hall for a dinner held in his honour.

To his great joy King Noah found out that he was seated next to her and the two royals talked the night away, having only attention for each other. They talked about innumerable subjects and found out that they had quite a lot in common. Noah's admiration for the Princess Olympia grew stronger and stronger and slowly it dawned on his that she might be the perfect wife material.

The big question was to him was: would Princess Olympia be of the same mind?

The young Princess was stunned by the look of King Noah - so majestic, strong, yet kind and understanding. Initially, she would be seated closer to her mother, but Olympia had secretly asked to have a seat next to Noah.

Indeed, she found a couple of minutes to change and returned with the most beautiful and elegant dress she had - a stunning white one with little pieces of orange at the bottom. No man in the hall ignored that young lady, they all secretly turned their heads as she passed them...

The whole night went way too far, at least so thought the Princess of Hearts. After discussing subject after subject with the King, they really discovered quite a lot in common. The Princess was also amazed by Noah's stories, especially his riding abilities. For some reason, Olympia had never had the chance to ride a horse and now she secretly hoped her Prince would correct that and teach her.

Oh, she thought, it would be so nice! He and I sharing a whole day together. In spite of Noah's loving look, little did the Princess know that he would prefer the Constancian Princess instead of Anwyn or any other woman. After all, others have broken her heart before... her dreams of the princely Noah didn't allow the young lady to close her eyes for a moment that night...
