Last time, you managed your empire, sending a second team to reinforce the one on the Volcano Island, talked to the representatives of the wood elves and dark elves about the possibility of joining your empire as citizens, and the expedition to the Frozen Wastes was finally ready and left.

After learning how to make apple pie with Silviana and giving Ruriska a nice gift (a most girly pink dress), you welcomed most of your guests for the End-Year Celebration. The kings and rulers of the north, the nobility, and all the other important people of your empire. Your Imperial guests, Hagëndorff with his wife Gwedolyn, and Parsifal aren't there yet, but it's only a matter of days now.

While you supervised the preparations for the palace, your mother went into labor and you hurried to her side, to support her, and perhaps help her. Fortunately, the delivery went well, and you now have a little brother, Erik Godsblood, crown prince of Ordamark's throne. Also, upon your personal invitation, the families of Dillon, Emelyne, Adeleine and Isabella arrived so they can spend the new year together.

On the to-do-list is
1. Have 20 kids (First on will be named Orelliel)
2. seduce waifus(female) and have kids with them (need still work on Irene,Aleanor,Ellisa )
3. destroy the Dark
4. destroy the Light
5. get immortality
6. become a god (maybe?)
7. pet Metraton and Luna
8. pet Rimmirra the green dragon and give him belly rubs
9.buy new toys for our three elfs blindfold and lewd nights?
10.build the navy
11.find out where Queen Helennae is.
12.learn stuff from Luna/ Metraton (magic payment is headpats)
13.get rid of the Grandmaster
14.learn all the languages with Gweyr
15.balance out Lazarus/Tina and Silvis needs :3
16.have a nice girls night out with Ellisa as a thanks next time we meet her
17.learn the way of smugness from our mother
18.open a few new dessous shops but not direct under our name (name A fair Maiden)
19.Start a yoga club for noblewomen with us and Trapezemilf as the yogis

The next day.

As you arrive to the dining room to have your breakfast, your companions are here to greet you, like every mornings. However, you notice the absence of Ruriska and Dillon. When you ask everyone where they are, Aleanor gives you the anwser.

>"They are out in the city your highness. Today is General Ruriska's birthday and Dillon decided to take her with him and his family so they can meet and get to know each others." she say.

How daring of Dillon, introducing his lover to his parents usually means that you have great projects for the future. You look at Emelyne, Adeleine and Isabella, maybe they are really happy with being left out. You smile when you think of how you can gently bully all of them with this.

You're not even halfway into your breakfast that a servant come into the room, a host of knights entered the city. It is Prince Parsifal of Arcadia and his retinue. You immediately leave the room with your retinue and sent the servant get your Cloak of the White Wolf.
You go to the front courtyard and after putting on your cloak you wait with everyone. Finally you see them, great knights in great armors painted in Arcadia blue. You remember all the stories and reports about them. These knights are elite soldiers, more powerful than your royal guards, able to kill even a demon. And among them, wearing a simpler armor in comparison, the prince of Arcadia himself. They stop, Parsifal get off his horse and walk up to you, when he's in front of you he removes his helmet and smile.

>"It is a great pleasure and an honor to finally meet you, Freya Drack, Dark Queen of the north, Chains-Breaker, Caregiver, Queen of Flames, Empress of the Drack Empire." he declares.

How do you welcome him ?

You have to keep things as formal as possible, he doesn't know you and you don't know him, it's better to follow the protocol now and learn more about him, but this doesn't mean you can't show that you are friendly and so you nod and give him a warm smile.

>"And it's a great honor to finally meet you face to face, Prince Parsifal of Arcadia. I've heard a lot about the strength and unwavering faith of the Paladins of Justice, and that they are described as the holy sledgehammer of heaven. I admit that I thought that was just an exaggeration, but now I see that is what your paladins truly are, and that the man that's leads them has all those qualities, and more." you say.

>"Your words honor us greatly your highness, but we are nothing more than men, I can tell you that indeed there was some exaggeration. After all, all stories deserve to be embellished." Parsifal replies.

You invite him inside, he follows you, staying by your side and you show him the great hall and the throne room, you also explain that a room in the royal wing is ready for him. As you walk he asks you something.

>"I noticed that the Emperor wasn't here with you to welcome us, is he attending a meeting or working on some important matter ?" he asks.

>"My husband is indeed busy, but with something personal, but don't worry, he'll be back soon and we'll have plenty of time to talk before, during and after the Celebration." you explain.

>"I see, I understand. I wanted to meet him since I've heard stories about him, he seems . . . Interesting." he replies.

Did he try to insinuate something ? Or maybe he just wants to meet Lazarus as ruler of a neighboring country, but you can't be sure.
Do you ask or say something to Prince Parsifal ?

>>3546647
>Do you ask or say something to Prince Parsifal ?
Interesting you say... well the first time when i meet him that wouldn´t be the worlds that i would use to describehim, luckily things changed rather quickly.But i have a few question for you if you allow.
-How is Arcadia i was never there and what kind of Products do you produce?
-I heard you have children how are they? good i hope
-I had an exchange with Häggendorf about a "friend" of yours can you tell me whats your point of view is on it? (don´t say what it´s about and lets see what he says if he denies any information about it say that we will wait with it until our other guest arrivs)

>"Interesting you say. . . Well, that wouldn't have been the words that I would have uses to describe him the first time I've meet him. Luckily, things changed rather quickly." you say.

Parsifal don't say anything, but turns his head slightly to look at you. Maybe your wording made him think about something. You quickly change the subject.

>"So, how was your journey ? Arcadia is quite far away from here, and the north in the middle of December isn't really warm." you ask.

>"The journey itself was quite usual, we had to take a boat to reach your west coast, the weather was relatively mild. Luckily, once on land, only the soft snow fell on us. I want to say that the north is very beautiful. I have only been there twice before and I have nothing but distant memories." he replies.

>"Then I hope your stay here will let you bring fresh and dear memories. I heard you have children, how are they ? I hope that they are well." you inquire.

>"They are really well. My oldest son is actually about to get married." he smiles.

From what you can remember, his oldest son is the one that was blessed with draconic power by Queen Helenae. You wonder what kind of woman he can possibly marry.

>"How is Arcadia ? I've never been there. What kind of things do you produce ?" you ask him.

>"It's a beautiful country, surrounded by mountains by all side, protecting us, with plains of green grasses and beautiful forests that endows the landscapes. The climate is generally temperate, with snow in winter and hot weather during the summer. The land in fertile, and export a great deal of agricultural products, as well as dye, copper and silver." he explains.

As you arrive back in the throne room, it's time to part way, but before that you say one last thing.

>"Prince Parsifa, I had an exchange with Emperor Häggendorf about a "friend" of yours, can you tell me whats your point of view is on it ?" you say.

>". . . . A "friend you say ? And the Great Emperor Hagëndorff was the one who told you . . . If we are thinking about the same thing, then my point of view is quite simple. The felons will be rightfully punished, that's all there is to say." he declares.

You have his answer now. Once Hagëndorff is here, maybe Him, Parsifal, Titania and you can have a meeting to talk about the future.

The next day.

You are walking in the garden with Aleanor, admiring the beauty of the snow slowly falling. A Royal Guards suddenly run toward you.

>"My Queen, a dragon was spotted approaching the city. It is not the dragon of Queen Titania, this one is much bigger." he says.

You don't lose any time and go to the front courtyard, you look up in the sky, it's difficult to see clearly by indeed there is a giant dragon flying above the city. You think you know who's going to get off the dragon. After some minutes the dragon come down and lands in front of the palace, everyone except you moves back a little. It lower itself on the ground, and the two people that were riding it get down from it. It's the Great Emperor Hagëndorff, and the woman with him must be his wife. He walks up to you and nods.

>"Hello to you, Empress Freya Drack. It's a pleasure to be here. The north is as beautiful and cold as I remember it." Hagëndorff tells you.

>"Thank you, your highness, and welcome to the Drack Empire. And welcome to you too, my lady. I believe we've never met before, let me introduce myself. My name is Freya Drack, Dark Queen of the north, Chains-Breaker, Caregiver, Queen of Flames, and Empress of the Drack Empire. It's a pleasure to meet you." you say.

The woman takes a step forward, so she can face you directly. She's older than your mother, but she has a mature beauty.

>"I am Gwendolyn Victoria Rossamond, Queen of the Great Empire and wife of the Emperor Hagëndorff. The pleasure is all mine. It's actually my first time visiting the north. For now I can say that everything I heard about the cold is true." she replies.

>"Then if you please, we should go inside and warm ourselves." you smile.

As you enter the palace with Hagëndorff and his wife, the dragon extends his wings and takes off, disappearing into the clouds.
Do you ask or say something to the imperial couple ?

How has your empire fared the last month Emperor Hagëndorff good i hope.

-Whats the name of your Dragon
-I´m glad that you have come with a dragon since there are still leftovers from one of your vassal that hidds in the empire

>"Emperor Hagëndorff, how has your empire fared in the last few months ? I hope everything is good." you ask.

>"Everything is going as good as managing an empire can be. I have some trouble with someone but I'll be done soon. One of my south-eastern neighbour is also causing problems with trades but this will be dealt with. There is also an important diplomatic topic I need to discuss with Queen Titania." he replies.

>"Queen Titania is already here, as is Prince Parsifa. If you want to meet them I'm sure there will be time for it." you tell him.

>"I know, that's why I'm glad that you invited me. Maybe we will be able to hold a meeting with them, along with your husband the Emperor Drack. I'm surprised to learn that Queen Titania is here before me." he says.

>"Actually, Queen Titania also arrived on her dragon, named Rimmirra. What's the name of your Dragon ?" you inquire.

>"He named Drakkahen, he's a powerful elder dragon gifted by Queen Helennae." he answers.

You guide the Great Emperor and his wife into the palace, you show them the great hall and the throne room. As you go with them to the royal wing, you keep discussing with Hagëndorff.

>"So both you and Prince Parsifa said that you where in the north before. When was that, if you allow that question ?" you ask him.

>"For me, it was in the year 1283, before the Demonic Incursion. I was visiting the kingdom of Asteven for a trade deal. My empire had good relations with some of the kingdoms of the north. I believe those relationships are useless now that all the north is under one banner. Still, it's better like this. As for Prince Parsifal, I think it was just a visit when he was young." he explains.

>"I see. Still, I'm glad that you have come with a dragon, since there are still leftovers from one of your vassal that hide in the empire." you say.

>" . . . Yes, that's problematic, even if I believe they wouldn't have tired anything right now. I suppose you've dealt with them yourself ?" he asks you.

>"Of course, they were acting against the Drack Empire so we did what we. Speaking of your "vassal", he really needs to stop with the assassination attempt, I know it's part of the life of an emperor and empress, but they're start to become tiresome after a while." you tell him.

>"I'm truly sorry for this, and I want you to know that the ones responsible for all of this will be punished." he declares.

Along with Sebastian Morebarr, you'll officially give Royal sigil rings to Gweyr, Emelyne, Adeleine and Isabella so they won't answer to anyone except you and Lazarus and they'll have imperial authority as well.

As you are filling some paperwork in your bedroom, your thoughts start wandering and you think about Lazarus, you wonder how he is, he should be back by now. You whistle fo Solaire and the phoenix get down from his spot to land on your shoulder, you gently caress his beak before giving him his mission.

>"I need you to do something for me. Can you look for Lazarus ? I want you to find him, and maybe try to bring him back. I trust you to do thing alright ?"

Solaire let out a small noise and you open your window to let him out. He flies away and you look at him as he starts flying above the city . . . And goes down toward the city gate. Yo stay there for a second, and then you understand. You quickly leave your bedroom and go for the front courtyard to wait. After a couple of minutes Solaire flies back to land on your shoulder, and Lazarus arrives riding his hellish mount. He's carrying something looking like a corpse wrapped in sheets. He carefully dismounts and walks up to you with the corpse.

>"I'm home." he says.

>"Welcome back, dear. . . . Is that . . . " you start.

>"Yes, it's her. We need to talk." he replies.

his horse disappear in flames and together you go for your bedroom. Once you are here, he slowly lays the corpse on the ground.

Do you ask something to your husband now that he is back ?

>>3558756
>Do you ask something to your husband now that he is back ?
Normally i would say something like took you long enough, but as it seems you only found one of them.... and you said her so it seems you found Orelliel and couldn´t find your fathers body where you buried him. So someone somewhere has the body of Ghalh'Kra the Infernus, well if i would have to take a guess someone "Special" would come to mind but do you have any idea how could have found him? But i too need to tell you that all of our guest have arrived 1 or 2 weeks ago and i had to tell them that you where away because of private matters so you know.

>"Normally, I would say something likes "took you long enough", but as it seems you've only found one of them. . . . And you said her so it seems you found Orelliel and couldn't find your fathers body where you buried him." you say.

>"Indeed, that's what I wanted to talk about. I went for the remains of my father first, but it was as you said there was nothing. I buried him deep, and placed a rock with a mark, when I got there the ground was alright but the stone was tilted over. With the moss on the stone and the vegetation around it must have been years since the stone was moved." he explains.

>"So someone, somewhere, has the body of Ghalh'Kra the Infernus, your father and a powerful Arch-demon." you declare.

>"It is exactly as you say." he replies.

>". . . . Well, if I would have to take a guess, someone "Special" would come to mind. Do you have any idea on who or how could this have happened ?" you inquire.

>"I know that demon don't really die unless killed by blessed weapons. So maybe he wasn't really dead and went back to hell, but if that's the case he's really the biggest bastard I know for leaving me like that. But I believe that either Hagëndorff's men or maybe the Order of the Light took his body, to perhaps experiment." he tells you.

This isn't what you think happened, but you'll leave it at this for now.

>"But enough of that for now. I went to the place where I buried Orelliel, I was afraid something similar happened, but she was still here . . . . It feels strange, I never went back to see her, but now . . . . Well, I did all I could, soon she and my mother will rest somewhere safe. I'll go and bring her to my laboratory, I'll be back soon." he says.

Lazarus take the remains, and leave the room. You wait for some times and after a while he comes back, he closes the door, sigh heavily then walk up to you and hugs you.

>"And how was everything my love ? I hope nothing went wrong while I was away." he asks you.

>"Everything is quite fine, but I too need to tell you that all of our guest have arrived 1 or 2 weeks ago and I had to tell them that you were away because of private matters, just so you know." you answer.

>"I'll think of a lie for our guests. And how's the baby ?" he inquires.

>"We're both fine, don't worry. I need to let you know about the planning for the celebration. And remember that you have to behave." you reply.

Your husband groans, but nods. You spend some time to explain what's planned. Lazarus is paying attention, but as you keep talking, he gets closer, and his hands get lower and lower on your body, and it's getting difficult to stay focused. What do you do ?

You take a deep breath and focus enough to give an answer to your husband.

>"Alright, I get it, you're happy to see me and want to show it. But we can't spend too much time here so we'll do it quickly, is that okay ?" you say.

>"Yes, but tonight we'll make up for the last weeks. And I except us to do better than last year for the first night of the new year." Lazarus tells you with a grin.

>"Only if you play nice with our guests during the party." you reply with a smile.

>"Can do. Now . . . " he starts.

He then let go of you and go sit on the bed, he removes some front piece of the lower part of his armor so you can have direct access to his pant, and you see the huge bulge. You join him and get on your knees in front of him, you then slightly lower his pant, letting his great hammer spring free. You breath heavily and bite your lower lip as you get closer.

After taking care of your husband's needs and fulfilling your own desire at the same times, the two of you dive back into work clear headed and focused. He knows everything that's going to happen, and you told him about what happened while he was away. He congratulates you for the birth of your little brother and approves of your plan to get the dwarves and elves to join as citizens. He also tells you that he has some projects for next year, and want to know if you approve of them.

+ Review and reform the finances of the Empire with the chamberlain (Sebastian Morebarr)
>Yes/No

+ Organise the borders of the kingdoms and Imperial owned lands with the Royal Council.
>Yes/No

+ Annex or get the eastern centaurs to join the Drack Empire.

>>3563080

+ Get the eastern centaurs to join the Drack Empire DON`T ANNEX THEM
>Yes, this needs to be done peacefully to show for future projects

-Don´t forget that in 12 weeks you might get your hands on the eggs of Giant eagles

-The Port in Turean was finished last week so we can begin to build the fleets. With said fleet we can colonize the Volcano Island properly

-I have a few plans of Myself so i hope it will be exciting for you (spymaster/Tinas Birthday and more)

>He congratulates you for the birth of your little brother and approves of your plan to get the dwarves and elves to join as citizens
I have a little surprise that will make all the elfs agree to become citizens of our empire but can you tell me how best we can achieve that with the dwarfs? By the way i didn´t talked with them about that topic.

-Until February i will use our Resources to build more citys in the Empire after that i will help the Demi-Humans that i promised them

-If somewhat possible i want the King's road which is done under current conditions in 81weeks done to next year End-Year Celebration

About organising the borders, I'm all for it, but what exactly do you mean with organise ?" you say.

>"I think we could split the former kingdom of Westteron in three, and give the land to the kingdoms of Turean, Kiven and Ordamark." Lazarus replies.

>"Okay, I understand, We'll see about it. Now to the topic of getting the eastern centaurs to join, we won't annex them, we don't need a conflict, even as small as this one could be it will weaken us. This needs to be done peacefully to show how we stand on diplomatic matters and to help us for future projects." you tell him.

>"That will change soon. The Port in Turean was finished last week, so we can begin to build the fleets. With said fleet we can colonize the Volcano Island properly." you reply.

>"I had a hunch that you wanted to do something with that island, it seems that I'm not the only one with projects for next year." he adds.

>"Indeed, I have a few plans myself, I have a little surprise that will surely make all the elves agree to become citizens of our empire, I will use our resources to build more citys in the Empire until February and after that I will help the Demi-Humans like I promised them. I also want to have the dwarves join, and I want your help on how best we can achieve that, as I haven't talked with them about that topic. Also, if it's somewhat possible, I want the King's Road, which is to be done in 81 weeks, completed and maybe updated for next End-Year Celebration. That's all I have planned, so I hope it will be exciting for you." you explain.

>"With you, any day can be exciting." he grins.

The two of you laugh, you're sure that your Dork Lord is the one that will make your days more exciting.

>>"I think we could split the former kingdom of Westteron in three, and give the land to the kingdoms of Turean, Kiven and Ordamark." Lazarus replies.
We could do that or we wait and have a presant for a promising new noble or someone wothy of ruling it or we could give it to them for now and tell them its there until we found a ruler for Westteron

Throughout the week.

Lazarus didn't meet any of the guests, and spent all his time in the royal wing of the palace learning as most as he can about the guests, he said he wanted to use the Celebration to show himself and have the advantage during conversations. You make sure to order the Royal Guards and servants that saw him come back to not say anything.

The servants and maids prepared the great hall. All your guests are present and all of their needs are attended, and an incredible amount of food was prepared for the people, it's a public celebration after all.

You've spent all of your afternoon getting ready in the bathroom, getting cleaned, brushing your hair and applying all kind of oils and balms. Emelyne, Adeleine and Isabella were shy at first, but everyone quickly reassured them and they happily relaxed.

You decide to wear your Silver Moon Dress, along with your Cloak of the White Wolf, you put on red lipstick and apply lip balm to make them full and glossy, and Silviana do your eyes, putting on blue eye shadows like you asked. You also tell everyone to wear Nice Dresses, you all have to make a good impression and show that you consider them all equal, so they shouldn't overdo it. Ruriska jokingly sigh in disappointment, Emelyne, Adeleine and Isabella doesn't understand and Irene has to explain what the other option was, making them blushes when she understands that they may have to go Bold one day.

All the girls are about finished getting ready and as you talk among yourself someone knock at the door, it's Dillon, telling you that the Dark Lord is ready and waiting at entrance of the royal wing with King Harald and Murata. You all exit your room, as Dillon watch all the girls one by one blushing slightly you decide to not tease him right away. He follows you to the entrance where your husband is waiting along your father and the samurai. When you see them they are discussing, Lazarus is the first to notice that you and the women are here and grin.

>"What a sight for sore eyes, I'm lucky to have so much beautiful women close to me."

Your father gives him the stink eyes, but your husband doesn't seem to notice or care, he walks up to you and extends his arm, you take it and with everyone you go to the great hall. It is richly decorated, with magnificent banners of your empire, many candlesticks, and carved wooden tables. All the servants and the 25 maids await the beginning of the"hostilities", ready to meet the expectations of the guests.

Here is the program of the party.
+ First, Lazarus and you will give a speech about everything that happened this year.
+ Then the two of you will reward those that accomplished great deeds for the empire.
= Sebastian Morebarr will become ruler of Loch Arnnach.
= Royal sigil rings to Gweyr, Emelyne, Adeleine and Isabella.
+ Next you and Lazarus will open the ball, and once it's done, food will be served.
+ You will take this opportunity to talk with the guests.
+ Then you will officially announce your pregnancy.
+ The Mulligan Circus will perform.

Do you wish to do something before the celebration start ? If not, write "start the party".

You remind yourself that you will praise the elves for their work on the cities in the North, along with thanking the nobles for their work in the empire and for their loyalty. You and Lazarus go to sit on the thrones, with your retinue taking their place by your side, your mother and father, along with Ellisa stay where the guests are, with Titania and here retinue joins them.

The great doors open, and the other guests finally enter, with servants shouting the names and titles of each person. Once all of them are inside, they start talking among themselves, waiting for you and your husband to officially start the party, but even if you know there are some rumors, you have a surprise for them.

>"His highness Prince Parsifal of Arcadia, Noble Prince of the realm of Arcadia, Guardian of the Great Gate of Arcadia, Grand paladin of the Order of Justice." shouts a servant.

The name causes quite the reaction, all whisper between themselves and turn to see the Heart of the Law enter, Parsifal walks confidently without paying attention to the crowd and stop when he gets in front of the thrones.

>"By the grace of the Light and God, I hereby thank you, Emperor Lazarus Drack, Empress Freya Drack, for this wonderful invitation." Parsifal declares.

>"We thank you, Prince Parsifal of Arcadia, for blessing us with your presence here." Lazarus replies.

Parsifal smile and go among your guests, who are still intimidated and surprised by such a prestigious guests. But another shout is heard and this one could create a whole other uproar.

>"His imperial highness, the Great Emperor Hagëndorff the Fair, the most mighty ruler of Midland, Lord of the Golden throne, and her imperial highness, Queen Gwendolyn Victoria Rossamond, Queen of the Great Empire and wife of the Emperor Hagëndorff." the servant shouts again.

Strangely, you don't get the reaction you were expecting, everyone stopped talking and the only sound in the great hall is the music and the imperial couple walking toward you, when they get in front of the thrones all your other guests look intentively.

>"Emperor Lazarus Drack, Empress Freya Drack, in the name of the empire, we thank you for inviting us to celebrate the new year with you." Hagëndorff declares.

>"And we thank you, Emperor Hagëndorff, Queen Gwendolyn Victoria Rossamond, for accepting our invitation and coming here to celebrate the new year." Lazarus replies.

With this, the crowd break into applauds, the Great emperor of the south being your guest will surely stay into the history of the north. Now it's time for the opening speech.
Do you speak first or let Lazarus start ?
In the mean time you can start thinking about your speech, unless you want some suggestions.

Our part:
Frist of all Thank you all for your numerous appearances, even if it´s fewer in total then when we celebrated the Day of the Drack Empire but since several nobles thought it was a good idea to revolt against the Crown for not only there own enrichment but to put the entire North in chains for there unseen Overlord(This means even IF Hagëndorff and Parsifal want us gone they cant, because if we are gone the order will have the north and they cant have that). BUT WE ALL TOGETHER fought them and dealt with them as we should have, and showed not only the entire North but everone that we stand together and not separated as they hoped. With that unity we rebuild the north and make it better like it was never before, the deadlands in Thoreric are gone and instead in next spring the feelds will be sown with grain and crops not what the war left there to rot. But not only that but Roads are build in the countryside for a better and safer trade as are ports at the shores of the Kingdoms, this will not only provides for a far better traide with our neighbors but also so we can deal with the pirates that threaten our coast and all our merchant ships. But not only ports or roads are build, but also entire cities are build not only in Voyoba or in Nyrkostr or next month added to this will be one city in Asteven and additionally to that comes two citys for the Wood elfs and one for the Dark elfs which will be there first city of it´s kind for the Dark elfs and next year furthermore work on another High elf city will begin with the blessing of Queen Titania of course and numerable little Villages are build in addition to this and other buildings like Cathedrals or a Theater and a Opera or schools and hospitals, are build everywhere to improve the lives of everybody in there day to day live. With all that hard work WE put into the Empire i say we earned a little breather, so lets celebrate as hard as we worked for the empire we all deserve it.

Lazarus is the Dark Lord, the Emperor, it is normal to let him speak first. He gets up form his throne, you do the same, staying at his side, and he starts his speech.

>"Citizen of the Drack Empire, Honored guests, thank you for being here for the End-Year Celebration. A year, a whole year, full of accomplishments and hardships. We are stronger than ever, and I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves able to defend our home, to rise to greatness and glory, and to overcome any challenge ! That is what we are going to do, that is the resolve of the crown, the resolve of every man, the resolve of our nation. For the glory of the Drack Empire." he says.

The guests applaud, this was a short speech, straight to the point. Once the applause stop, start your own speech.

>"First of all, thank you all for being here with us tonight, even though we are less numerous in total than when we celebrated the Day of the Drack Empire, since several nobles thought it was a good idea to revolt against the Crown for not only their own enrichment, but to put the entire North in chains for their unseen Overlord. BUT WE STOOD TOGETHER, and fought them and dealt with them as we should have, we showed to not only the entire North but to everyone that we stand together, not disunited as they had hoped.With that unity we rebuild the north and made it better then it was ever before. The deadlands in Thoreric were purged and in their place, next spring, the fields will be sown with grain and crops cleansing what the war left there to rot. Roads are built in the countryside for better and safer travel, as are ports on the shores of the Kingdoms, this will not only provides for a far better trade with our neighbors but we'll be able to deal with the pirates that threaten our coast and all our merchant ships. But not only ports or roads are built. Entire cities are erected, not only in Voyoba, but in Nyrkostr and Asteven. And additionally to that comes two cities for the wood elves and one for the dark elves, which will be their first real city, somewhere they can truly call home. Furthermore, next year will see the beginning of another High elf city, with the blessing of Queen Titania of course. Numerous little villages are built in addition to this, and other buildings like the Cathedral along with a Theater and an Opera are underway, schools and hospitals are built everywhere to improve the life of everybody in the empire. With all that hard work WE put into the Empire, I say we earned a little breather, so let's celebrate as hard as we worked for the empire we all deserve it." you say.

You made your audience laugh a little, and they applauds you. With this, the End-Year Celebration officially start, in the city, and through the empire, feasts were organised for the population, everyone merrily eat, drink and laugh.

You start the party by rewarding those that accomplished great deeds for the empire. Lazarus call a number of civilians, soldiers and officers that distinguished themselves during the Day of the Drack Empire's revolt, making them knights, giving them a small title, money and land. To the surprise of everyone, Hagëndorff and Parsifal included, he also calls demi-humans, rewarding them for their courage and loyalty during the fight in the city during the revolt. Lazarus declares that they'll receive a large sum of gold, along with any commodities they desire, as well as a spot in the imperial army as corporals or sergeants.

It's your turn now, so you call the people you want to reward. You call Gweyr, Emelyne, Adeleine and Isabella, they walk to the throne and take a knee.

>"Esteemed ladies, loyal servants of the empire, dear friends, for your dedication to the crown, we are happy to give you a gift of these royal sigils rings. These rings are proof of your status as members of my personal retinue and give you authority throughout the empire, the only person you have to answer to are the Emperor Lazarus and myself." you say.

You get up from your throne and they bow their heads respectfully as you approach, you give a ring to each one of them and they put it on their fingers. With this, they are now protected from even the nobility. Then it's Sebastian Morebarr's turn, the young noble walk up to the throne and take a knee, he's aware that he's going to be rewarded but you have something really special for him.

>"Lord Sebastian Morebarr, you have more than once proven your loyalty, and the colossal work you have accomplished for the empire has enabled us to advance towards understanding and coexistence with the demi-humans who inhabit our empire. What you have achieved deserves more than a title and gold. As a result, we decided to make you sovereign of the kingdom of Loch Arnnach." you declare.

Your words cause a great reaction, never before had a nobleman been raised to the rank of king. Sebastian seems to waver for a moment, but he keeps his calm.

>"Thank you your highness, nothing can explain how honored I am for the faith you have in me. I promise that I will do my best as king of Loch Arnnach to make sure I'll exceed your expectations."

A servant brings a crown you had commissioned especially for this event. With a smile, you slowly put the crown on his head, and Lazarus taps Sebastian's shoulders with his sword.

>"Now raise your head, King Morebarr, king of Loch Arnnach." Lazarus say.

The young man gets up and turns around. The crown erupts in applause, for sure, tonight you made history again.

Now that the official ceremonies are over, it's time to open the end of the year ball. As Emperor and Empress, you are the first to dance, followed by your most honored guests, like Hagëndorff and his wife, Parsifal and Titania, as well as the rulers of the north, even if you think dancing isn't really something Parsifal would do.
Lazarus get up from his throne and extend his hand to you while bowing down.

>"Shall we dance my dear ?" he asks with a grin.

>"Of course my love." you reply with a warm smile.

You go for the center of the great hall, where the guests have moved away to give way to dance. Your friends followed and just a little away from the center. You and lazarus are in the center. All eyes are on you, and soon the music start.

As the music resounds around you, you and Lazarus start by slow circles, then as the music go on, you pick up the pace. You let yourself be led by your husband. He smiles brightly, as you move alongside him, your heels click over the ballroom floor. He watches as your hair flow beautifully with each moves. You dance and spin. You keep turning in delicate circles, your Bright dress billowing out. You go through one dance pattern after another, but then, you get closer to Lazarus, until your breasts are pressed against him, he looks a you and smile. Your move become more complicated, at one moment you are pressing against him, the other you are far from him, only linked by your hand in his. He makes you twirl, and you go right back into his arms, your feet in perfect sync to the beating of your heart

Lazarus is moving elegantly, his body in tune with the music, you know he practiced just for you. Yet, there was a sort of harshness to him, as if no amount of training would erase his raw power. Still, he knows exactly where to take you. Every moment, every angle seem to be planned in advance, nothing fell forced, it's as if you are floating. The warmth between the two of you grows more powerful by each passing second, your heartbeat growing steadily along with it. You only focus on him, and he only focus on you, the music is the only thing of the outside world that register. Your dance is perfect, everything from your breathing to how your feet moves stay in sync.

You keep doing this for all the duration of the dance. After a while, the music stops, and you embrace your husband, as the song end, you body pressed against his, your face just inches from his. No one says anything at first, then the great hall is filled with what sound like thunder, the guests applauding you performance with all their might, it seems that your dance put them in high spirit, even Hagëndorff and Parsifal are smiling brightly as they clap, and you separate from Lazarus and you bow, as he does it too. As you leave holding hands with your husband, the next part of the ball start, with Hagëndorff and his wife Gwendolyn, the rulers and their spouse approaching to dance. You notice that Titania walk up to you, and formally bow.

>"Emperor Lazarus, it's been so long since I danced, literally years. Would you honor me by allowing me to dance with you ?" she asks.

Lazarus doesn't reply immediately, maybe he's a little surprised. What do you say ?
>Allow it.
>Refuse.
>Other (write in)

>>3579647
>Allow it.

You turn to Lazarus with a big smile.

>"This is a great idea my dear, this way you can directly show to Queen Titania how good you are." you say.

Your husband nods and extends his hand to Titania.

>"Shall we dance, your highness ?" he asks her with a smile.

>"Of course, your highness." she replies.

She takes his hand and the two of them go to the center of the great hall to dance. There is now a lot of people dancing, Hagëndorff and Gwendolyn look like a happy couple, waltzing together to the music. Lazarus and Titania seem to enjoy themselves, smiling at each other, the contrast between her white dress, golden hair and height compared to Lazarus dark armor and size is actually quite visibly pleasing. Your mother and father are also dancing, and just like you and your husband, they are in their own little world. You look at the one that aren't dancing, like Parsifal and Ellisa.

Ellisa is just staying aside, looking at the ball. As she's not married, and without anyone courting her, she probably won't be able to dance unless someone asks her to. Parsifal doesn't look like the kind of man to dance at a party, or maybe he only dances with his wife.

You decide to ask Parsifal to dance with you, it's not unusual for a woman of high status to dance with another man of high status during official events, as it is a good way to show that you have good relation and so potential support. You walk up to Parsifal, he sees you approaching and smile.

>"Your Highness, what a great display of grace and elegance you have made us witness, you and the Emperor Lazarus seem to share a deep connection going far beyond love." he says.

>"Thank you, Prince Parsifal, and indeed, my husband and me are really happy together. I see that you aren't participating in the ball." you inquire.

>"I've never danced with anyone else but my wife since we were betrothed, and I don't want do be rude by asking one of your guest, not knowing who they are." he explains.

>"Then would you honor me by dancing with me ? It would be a shame to be here and not enjoy the ball at all." you ask with a smile.

>"Are you sure, I wouldn't want to impose myself." he says.

>"Don't worry, as you can see, my husband is dancing with someone else, so I'm free to dance as I please." you tell him.

>"Then I gladly accept. Shall we dance your highness ?" he asks while extending his hand.

>"Of course, Prince Parsifal." you reply while taking his hand.

The two of you go to the center of the great hall and join the other dancer. As you start dancing, you notice that Parsifal isn't a bad dancer, he's skillfully guiding you as it should be, but for you this isn't the same, you don't feel the same as when you are dancing with Lazarus, you're not feeling bad of course, but the emotion isn't here.

>"I must admit, your highness, that I am a little surprised, and . . . Perhaps a little relieved." he tells you.

>"And why exactly are you feeling like this, Prince Parsifal ?" you ask.

>"Because I've heard stories and rumors about how your husband became Emperor of the north. Of course, there was more than simple baseless words, there was also witnesses, refugees from the northern kingdoms fleeings to the south. They told of a monster, a Dark Lord leading an army of killers, bandits and demons, killing, burning and raping everything in his path. But as I received your invitation, and travelled in your empire, I saw how prosperous it was, I saw smiles on people's face, and I see that your husband isn't the monster people said he was." he explains.

You don't say anything, if only he knew the truth like you do.
You can also talk during the dance. What do you say to Parsifal ? Do you just dance ?

>>3583780
What do you say to Parsifal ? Do you just dance ?
The Stories are mostly embellished to sound more dramatic but there is truth in them. He didn´t ask nicely to become the Emperor of the North that is truth and sadly he even used demons back then luckely not anymore has i could talk him out of it. As for burning and killing look no further than the deadland that WHERE in Thoreric. BUT as you said yourself you saw how prosperous the North has become, YOU saw smiles on people's face. The North paid dearly for this Empire it is now but it grows stronger far more as it could ever be if it where only small Kingdoms. Even before all of this the Kingdoms fought each other more often then not i´m sure if we would look through the historybooks my home Kingdomof Ordamark was at war at least once with every other Kingdom for one reason or another so it was not more peacefull back then if you think that, the fighting was only more stretched over time and now after this heavy paid peace there is no more infighting, no more war between the Kingdoms, no more war with the Demi-humans the lives of the People finally improved and the pocket from a corrupt noble how only cares for himself. Thats why i said in the letters even if you can´t forgive him for all that was done back then maybe you can at least coexist with him and i told you that i don't want another war, that i want to do everything to maintain peace and i will not LIE or hide the truth for a fake peace thats why i told you all this. If you want you can ask Queen Titania later what she thinks of my Husband since she is our guest for a few months now she should have a insight what kind of person he is.

And like i said before to you interesting wouldn´t have been the words that I would have used to describe him the first tow month where i know him. BUT as you can see luckily things changed rather quickly and if you looked at the last year in the north Lazarus changed to a i would say "good" Emperor. And now after this heavy paid peace there is finaly no more infighting, no more war between the Kingdoms, no more war/raiding with/from the Demi-humans the lives of the People finally start to improved with all the things i said in my little speech instead of the weight of the pockets from corrupt nobles which only cared for himself and not a bit for their citizens. Thats why i said in the letters that even if you can´t forgive him for all that was done back then that maybe just maybe you can at least coexist with him and that´s why i told you that i don't want another war, that i want to do everything in my power to maintain THIS peace BUT i will not LIE or HIDE the truth from you for a fake peace, thats why i told you all of this. Maybe if you want you can ask Queen Titania later and ask her what she thinks of my Husband since she is our guest for a few months now, she should have a insight what kind of person he is and maybe have a little chat with the Bishop of the Church of the Light as well.

My husband has a troubled and dark history. It took me some time to learn to love him.

But now I’m glad I did. Even in darkest shadows flame of light can be found and fanned.

You don't reply immediately, you let some moments passes as you dance before giving him an answer.

>"The Stories are mostly embellished to sound more dramatic, but sadly there is truth in them. My husband didn't ask nicely to become the Emperor of the North, that's true, and sadly he even used demons back then. But not anymore, as I talked him out of it. As for burning and killing, look no further than the deadlands that WHERE in Thoreric. BUT as you said yourself you SAW how prosperous the North has become, you SAW smiles on people's face." you say.

>". . . From your reply, I understand that he did what was necessary for him to win, even if it means using demons, I can understand, even if I do not approve. Using the strength of Hell is extremely dangerous only a fool would believe that he can control it."he tells you.

>"Prince Parsifal, the North paid dearly for this Empire as it is now, but it's growing stronger, far more than it could ever be if it was only the small Kingdoms. Before all of this, the kingdoms of the north fought each other more often then not, I'm sure that if we would look through the history books of my former home, the Kingdom of Ordamark, we'll see that it was at least once at war with every other Kingdom for one reason or another, so it was not more peaceful back then. If you think that, the fighting was only more stretched over time. Instead, what we got was one brutal campaign of conquest from Lazarus that ended with my marriage with him, that's the reason why Ordamark was spared from the war. And like I said before to you, interesting wouldn't be the word that I would have used to describe him the first two month where we were together. BUT as you can see, luckily things changed rather quickly, and if you looked the last year in the north Lazarus changed to, I would say, a "good" Emperor." you explain.

As the song become more rhythmic, you and Parsifal pick up the pace, you gracefully follow his lead, and this dance become something the two of you use to assess the words of the other.

>"But you, Empress Freya, unlike me, you saw everything, and if your words are the truth, you worked for the betterment of the North. I'm not naive, but I know that there was a lot of bloodshed for more peace. Do you believe that it was worth it, that this war your husband waged will lead to more peace ?" he asks you.

>"That's what I believe. After this heavy paid peace there is finally no more infighting, no more war between the Kingdoms, no more war, raiding against and from the Demi-humans, the lives of the people finally start to improved with all the things I said in my little speech, instead of having gold used to add more weight to the pockets of corrupt nobles who only cared for themselves and not a bit for their citizens. Thats why I said in the letters that even if you can't forgive him for all that was done back then, maybe just maybe, you can at least coexist with him. That's why I told you that I don't want another war, that I want to do everything in my power to maintain THIS peace." you reply.

>". . . . You know, any other politician would have used this opportunity to gain more power by telling me only things that paint his kingdom in an advantageous position. Why are you telling me all this ?" he inquires.

>"I will not LIE or HIDE the truth from you for a fake peace, thats why I told you all of this. Maybe if you want you can ask Queen Titania later, and ask her what she thinks of my husband, since she has been our guest for a few months now, she should have an insight of what kind of person he is, and maybe you should have a little chat with the Bishop of the Church of the Light as well." you answer.

The song end, and The two of you separate from each other and bow, Parsifal smile at you.

>"You truly are a fascinating person, . I'll follow your advices and see for myself. I choose to believe you, Empress Freya Drack, the future will show us if your words are truth. Thank you for this dance." he declares.

He then leaves to mingle with the other guests, leaving you to your thoughts. Lazarus come back to you with a radiant, smiling Titania attached to his arm.

>"It's been so long since I enjoyed dancing like that. Your husband is a great dancer, Queen Freya, you wouldn't believe it at first glance, seeing how big he is. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy his company." she says.

How do you reply ?
>I'm glad that you had fun.
>He could do better if he wanted to.
>He's more "flexible" than he looks.
>You could spend more time with him.
>Other(write-in)

>"I'm glad that you two had fun, we should do something like this more often but just in a smaller circle." you say.

>"That's a wonderful idea, that way we won't have to think about protocol and politics, only have fun. Of course, that's if the emperor is okay to join us." Titania tells you.

>"I'm not against it, it was a pleasure dancing with you, and you said that you haven't had the opportunity to dance since year." Lazarus replies.

>"Splendid, then we'll organise something before I leave. About dancing, I have a question for you, Emperor Lazarus Drack. Now who do you think is better at dancing, me or your dear wife ?" she asks.

You look at Titania and raise an eyebrow, Lazarus doesn't reply immediately, he looks at you for a couple of seconds, and you wonder why he needs to think about it.

>"Well, the two of you have different movements, I say it's unfair to compare. But if you want an answer, I say my lovely wife is the better dancer." he answers.

You don't know why, but he managed to make you blush a little with that, Titania gives a knowing smile.

>"But I noticed that you were lighter than her during the dance, I think my wife may have put on some weight." he adds with a grin.

. . . . Nevermind, you'll make him pay for this later.
