☾ ° › ITALY AWAITS YOU !

After 9 months in Spain, it is time for something new. Royals, nobles, politicians and staff were told to pack up and move quickly because boats were waiting to take them to their next location: Pianosa. The tiny island in the far west of Tuscany seemed perfect: not too far that the trip would be tiring, private enough that the risks of their location being leaked were slim to none and gorgeous views from every corner of the island. 

Pianosa can be described as a paradise: glittering turquoise water, fresh greenery all around the island and beautiful white sandy beaches! The quietness of the private island will offer the royals a chance to wind down and to enjoy a bit of peace. The royals will get plenty of sun and fresh air on the island!

☾ ° › WHERE'S HAFIZ ?

princess hafiz had gone missing. it did not matter how diligently the guards searched the island, there was no trace of her and her young child. the search extended to the mediterranean but soon enough they found out that it was all in vain. pax aeterna had contacted the sultan of turkey. the demands were simple in theory but extremely intricate in practice: the sultan had to sign a peace treaty with greece and end the war over the islands. tireless work and negotiating eventually bore fruit and the first draft of the treaty was created, two days later the monarchs signed the paper that ended a conflict that had been tearing through the region for several years. this was not the happy ending for the osmanoglus who still had to worry for hafiz — against all odds, the princess and her child were returned in adequate condition to the turkish family.

WELCOME TO ALICANTE !

With the third anniversary of the end of the Spanish-Portuguese war coming up, the Bourbon-Anjou family wants to invite royals and politicians from all over the world to enjoy the many festivities of Spain in August. The programme decided this was the perfect opportunity to move out of Regina into the beautiful seaside city of Alicante. The guests are encouraged to travel around Spain to experience the different festivals and events that take place all over the country throughout the month of August and will be given a list of events that they can take part in if they wish to.

THE EVENTS

WEEK ONE ( 1.8.-7.8. ) 

4.8. -7.8. Somontano wine festival 

7.8. Traída del Agua, Gran Canária 

WEEK TWO ( 8.8.-14.8. )

12.8. Bourbon-Anjou summer ball, Madrid

WEEK THREE ( 15.8.-21.8. ) 

13.-20.8. Feria del Málaga 

15.8. Noche de Vino, Cómpeta 

WEEK FOUR ( 22.8.-28.8. ) 

31.8. La Tomatina 

the roars of the crowd echoed through the narrow streets of segovia. the shrieks of joy, wild laughter, and dramatic gasps turned into sounds of worry and fear in an instant as an agitated bull broke through the barrier separating the participants and the spectators. no matter how high the paycheck of the security guards was, they had no chance against a bull. the animal pushed through the crowd, trampling anyone in its way. three noteworthy names were mentioned in the news story: ANDREW BEAUFORT, HELENA D’ORLÉANS E BRAGANÇA and NIKLAUS GRÜNENBERG. the three victims were rushed to the hospital. 

the bourbon-anjou family sent large bouquets and the king a hand-written apology letter to each victim. 

☾ ° › IT IS TRAGEDIES THAT

the first twelve hours are vital — a fact that gets repeated, whispered, and yelled numerous times when the royals settle in osaka. how has no one heard anything ? where are they ? numerous teams are cooperating in order to bring the six royals back to safety.

☾ ° › COLLECT THE LARGEST CROWDS

the morning sun is shy: the first rays take a long time to reach the city. it’s been over twenty-four hours and no one has been able to be of any help. what do the six people have in common other than their luxurious life styles ? it baffles people. it confuses and intrigues everyone until the explanation has been printed on every newspaper — the reputable and the questioned ones alike. PEOPLE WANT CHANGE and change starts one demand at a time.

☾ ° › AND NEVER FAIL TO CAPTURE

the original list of passengers sheds more light on the situation perhaps:

a japanese crown princess hosting and entertaining the most infamous despicable war criminals alive

a french princess, her offspring and a french veteran both partially responsible for the atrocities their country has committed

a chinese princess who cares more about the nature than the lives that her country made money off of

an english princess who so carelessly was willing to sacrifice a whole country’s democracy in her own favour

— it’s the belgian prince who was not supposed to be on board but

an italian regent whose reign has been short but full of tyranny

☾ ° › THE ATTENTION OF EVERY BY-STANDER

these are the words of pax aeterna — an organization for true peace, and this is their debut. this is their stage of horror. the image of the captured royals with the description of their identities can be found on every news outlet. written in 38 different languages. it’s not just a debut, it’s a grand entrance. pax aeterna have but one humble demand: the dismantling of the monarchies in japan, france, china, england and italy.

☾ ° › OOC

ngl, we hadn’t planned this plot drop properly when we wrote the first part so it has some inaccuracies. the royals are located 60 hours after the demands have been made public. nothing too traumatic happens in those 60 hours. not too many culprits were caught and the ones that were have not spoken. 

While royals, nobles and all residents enjoyed another day in Tokyo and the Earth Day festivities thrown by the princess, their accommodations in Osaka were thoroughly searched as security had noticed suspicious activity around the apartment complex the past few days. The security team located several mics all over the compound and building’s security cameras as well as the surrounding CCTVs had been hacked. The findings were a sure sign of a security breach, and the program concluded that the safety of the royals was compromised. The security team chose to relocate the royals, effective immediately.

WELCOME TO CANADA.

The morning after the event in Tokyo, royals were flown to the city of Regina, capital of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan where they’d be placed in houses at gated community in the suburbs. Everyone gets a small detached house! Cute!

IMPORTANT REMINDER TO EVERY PARTICIPANT

AFTER A WEEK BATHING in sun rays, saltwater and speckles of glitter, the royals boarded their jets back to tokyo, exhausted and eager to return to a sense of normalcy. twenty-three hours in the air, then each jet makes its landing. one by one... by one... except for one. 

plane S165P never arrives. 

☾ ° › THIS MUST BE YOUR FRONTIER

The changes in England shook the British Isles. Wales, Scotland and Ireland all refused to acknowledge Arthur Sr’s claim to the throne. The nobility of The English were not only fighting themselves but the supporters of the exiled king had to worry about foreign powers intervening. Portugal sided with Antonia whose position as the eldest child, in Portugal’s eyes, made her the true legitimate heir. Sweden refused to acknowledge de Marquis’ claim to the throne. In an attempt to put out fires, king Arthur offered to pull his men from Northern Ireland in exchange for the support of Ireland. Ireland refused and in turn, more men were brought to the border. 

☾ ° › EVERYTHING IS A WAR HERE

The events in Rome lead to an international crisis. Italians began accusing the Sammarinese government of conspiring against the royal family.  Italy cut off trade with San Marino. The micro state could barely sustain itself without services and goods from the country that surrounded them. Riots erupted in San Marino, the Italian minority demanding for justice and the Sammarinese citizens being deeply upset with the current state of affairs. The Sammarinese royal family’s best attempts at taking control of the situation were in vain, the media storm dared to destroy their image. Hiding inside the palace seemed ineffective as the situation didn’t seem to calm down. After a week of riots, the royal family changed its approach and began appearing in front of the people again.

☾ ° › IT HAS BEEN A GOOD YEAR

Austria was torn: one side was demanding the Austrians did something about the injustices happening in the west, and the other asked for patience and carefulness. Both sides were loud and the royal family are under pressure to make a decision. Hainaut’s betrayal forced Belgians and Germans to bring more men to the southern border. The border of the duchy was surrounded by Equanimity soldiers. Brussels and Antwerp began swarming with soldiers as the most important cities of Belgium wanted to be kept safe in case the French troops managed to break through the front line in the south. When the non-aggression pact between the Netherlands and France was signed, Sweden made the decision to begin sending humanitarian aid to Belgium. The non-aggression pact would protect the Netherlands from France at the expense of the Netherlands’ allies. Poland was included in the pact and they promised neutrality— such sign of cowardice angered Germans and created tension between the neighbours.
