Type of event: celebration dinner of the 50th anniversary of the takeover of AldegarMother stood up as she held a glass of sparkling white champagne in one hand before gently tapping it using her fork. The room fell silent. All looked at her as she cleared her throat, "Dear children and fellow Show Masters, I would like to thank you all for these 50 years of glorious rule over Terra's most strategic nation, our efforts have been generously rewarded with Aldegar's economic and social prosperity that was a result of us taking the reigns of power from the old president. Nonetheless, this would've been impossible without the effort of Actress that successfully spearheaded the Water Lilly Revolution and led to Aldegarian People's Free Federation ever since its foundation-"
She was then interrupted by Poétesse standing up and saying, "But where is Parisa?? I mean, Actress, she should be here with us to celebrate this historic moment, but it seems that she hasn't shown up publicly for the past 5 months!"
Poétesse took a deep breathe before adding, "Don't get me wrong, I love Parisa wholeheartedly but I miss when she used to attend all of our meetings instead of leaving an empty seat with her name on it. She als-"
Poétesse was then interrupted by the sound of the double doors swinging open with two staff members holding a paper in their hands, all the showmasters turned their head toward them, "We have gotten an emergency news from the Palace of Anahita!"
Everyone then stood up suddenly, their eyes fixated on the two staff members with the weight of what the palace of Anahita has found so urgent to use the emergency line, the male staff member then cleared his throat before reading what was on his paper, "I, Fariba Afshani, Head Doctor for her excellency's medical well-being, alongside the entire staff of the palace of Anahita would like to present our-"
El Moualim then leaned to whisper to Gears, "I hope it isn't what I think it is,"
Gears then looked at him before replying back with, "Oh darling, I think it's indeed what you think it is."
Both them focused again at what the staff member was saying, "-condolences to you. Parisa Shahi, First President of the Aldegarian People's Free Federation has passed away peacefully at 21h:18 min:4s-"
he then stopped as the sound of glass falling and shattering echoed through the room coupled with loud thunder resonating outside, "No no no this can't be happening not now!"
Mother said while collapsing on her seat, Father then held her hand while Nymphea started blowìng fresh air using her fan, "Please continue, we would like to hear the causes of her death please,"
Father asked while looking at the staff member, he nodded before continuing, "The causes of her excellency's death were due to old age and overworking herself, her heart couldn't handle her work routine due to old age but during her final moments she was surrounded by loved ones in which she also left a letter addressed to you all."
"President Parisa stated in her letter the following,"
She slowly opened up the latter and read it in a clam voice, Dear fellow brothers and sisters of the Masked Fools Society,
If you are reading or being read this letter, it means that I unfortunately finally reached my final act as Actress and kissed goodbye to both the world and Aldegar as President of this magnificent country that I witnessed grow, learn from its mistakes, and become once again at the very least an international player you can't ignore. It was my duty to lead this nation through rough and gentle times as it was originally my idea to involve us into the affairs of the country but I never thought I would get to experience more than 70 years among you all and 50 years of unforgettable moments being the president of this country. I sincerely ask you all to not feel sad of my passing but instead take it as a opportunity to bring younger and more revolutionary minds into our society just like when I brought in Fashionista and Empress as the 13th and 14th Show Masters that knew how to prove themselves to me through their actions and relentless pursuit of glory and prosperity.
In addition, I would like you to fulfill a dear and final wish for me, if it was possible of course. Now my request is for you to continue holding the hand of Aldegar while leading to a glorious and prosperous future that still hides infinite possibilities because my homeland has grown a special place in my heart making me develop a motherly lover toward her. I simply wish I had more time to guide it like a true mother should, but at last fate pulled a sick joke on me by making me leave this world. I still hold hopes that you will successfully maintain Aldegar under its current state without plunging it into a spiral of chaos.
Finally, I would like to announce that I have chosen Zahra Tarrokh as my successor to the position of both Actress and President because ever since I mentored her from the ripe age of 12, Zahra has been a great assistant and ally that successfully climbed her way to the top without any of my moves to push her up, which I tried to do but she always refusing by saying, "I wanna prove that I'm a worthy politician just like you! I don't need to be spoiled to serve the people, I want to be truly a person of the people just like you". Following Zahra own request, I encourage you all to allow for truly free and fair elections to happen following my death as to show to the world that Aldegar will remain free and prosperous forever with its canal a glorious catalyst for progress.
This is Actress and Parisa Shahi ending their 70 years of acting for a glorious and prosperous future,
Pro Humanitatis libertate!
