A Party in the Clouds: Celebration at the Palace of Lights

[Robert F. Kennedy]

What about a simple battle, Your Highness?

Absolutely, your highness. By all means, do take lead.

She gives him a pile of cards, hidden before saying to the Prince with a mischievious grin on her face

I hope that you know the rules, Prince Philippe...

So Chancellor...I've spoken to the Defence Minister as promised, and I can show you a list of products.
[...]
Yes, this is great indeed, how many of them you'd need?
[...]
Yeah, I'll talk with the Minister and to the CEO...I expect them to be very receptive. Anything else?
[...]
I'm glad you're enjoying this list.
[...]
I've directed the Foreign Minister to handle that port issue...she might even join us here soon, and you'll hear directly from her.

[Robert F. Kennedy]

After a pretty long party of Egyptian Ratscrew, where the Princess/Grand Duchess emerged victorious, the two rested to the Prince's bedroom, sharing stories about eachother's families.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Orange had reached out to Benowitz and von Thaller for a golf party at the court of the palace. He also reached out to the Son of Heaven himself, thankfully, he hoped to leave a good impression of him to the Yingdalan Emperor, as the future Luthorian Emperor.

It is now 2 AM at Lac des Lumieres. The Party is over. Queen Catherine V thanks her guests for joining the most momentous celebration. She thanks her family, distant family, and other monarchs for joining. She retreats to her chambers. Guests begin to leave and the orchestra plays one final piece as guests head out into the night.

Queens Bedroom, 2:45 AM

The bed in the Queen's bedroom is heard shaking. The ancient wooden design of the bed creaks and snaps. Drunken laughter and moaning is heard. A palace servant is the only witness to what occurred after the party: The Queen, the Meleh, and several male suitors, all in the same bed.

A large commotion is heard throughout the night, with several witnesses now. The queen enjoying her night. Little did she know, this was the last night she would sleep peacefully, for the next month would prove to be the worse days of the Queen's life.

Queen Catherine V (Lourenne) speaking to Son of Heaven Wu Fangxun

I would be most happy to speak of suitable matches. My children are all of age soon.

To your luck, the High Chancellor is actually down the hall and to the left with other official elected heads of state. They are in the old coronation room. Shall I lead you for a conversation? Or shall we schedule this for a later date?

Son of Heaven Wu Fangxun speaking to Queen Catherine V

Please, madam, lead the way. It would be most fitting for this celebration to result in new members of our houses and preservation of our reigns in our respective countries.
