'The Bean Empress' also known as 'Empress for a Day' is an annual event held at Aster Court by Princess Adeline Lorena Helvets-Rochefort of Savoy. All the women at court and female servants or staff are eligible to attend and take part in the event if they are above the age of fourteen. Those under the age of eighteen will need parental permission to engage in said activities. All of the men who are being hosted at court upon the current timing of said annual event are also welcome to join in attendance - though they are not allowed to participate.

The grand chefs and servants of Aster Court are ordered to bake a resplendent cake for this admirable occasion that will be served to all willing women present for the event. Each member will be given a piece of cake in the ballroom and they are all to ingest said slice. One piece of cake contains a bean, and if a woman is fortunate enough to be in possession of said bean, they will get to become the temporary Empress for a full day.

~

Though they are not given any real power within the Empire whatsoever, the woman will be permitted to order other servants around, wear the Empresses own clothing pieces and jewellery (At the Empresses discretion). To end the night of being ‘Empress’ the servantry will prepare an exquisite meal and all members of the Imperial Family are invited to celebrate this joyous occasion.

The Reveal

This effervescent occasion will begin with the cake tasting, though cake is not the only flavoursome cuisine on the menu at this time. An array of pastries will be on display for those who wish to taste and further their taste bud pallete. When it is signalled for all members of court present to begin, the person to find the bean tucked into the slice of cake is to become the fake ‘Empress’ 

 

The Grand Feast

The feast will be decked with an array of dazzling dishes. Indulge yourself in the utterly delectable dishes such as roasted duck accompanied by jellies and custard stained with sandalwood and all different kinds of palatable flavouring. To accentuate the aura of the evening, an orchestra will be playing all the current and finest music of the current times in a harmonizing manner. All present will enjoy said music in accompaniment to the large cornucopia of food at hand.

"What a novel concept." Exclaimed the Baroness of Carrington, taking a sip of herbal tea. "I'm certain the palace servantry will enjoy it."

The scarred and vagrant looking Hexer Arthur of Caermad broods about the fire of the Hexers encampment, scratching some lice from his beard as he wonders if he might one day make for a pretty Empress.

 

“Edmond!” he hollers out for his mentor, arising to his feet as he begins to saddle his horse. “I’ve got to go to Providence for... somethin’.” @Quantumatics

"My wife makes the best events, just saying." Remarked the Prince, a smile appearing on his lips as he'd finish his shot of brandy before continuing the card game with his good friend Joseph d'Azor. @Taketheshot

"No no MY wife makes the best events...." Joseph d'Azor muttered back towards his friend and long time commander Olivier with a grumble having a bad hand in the card game as he took another long swig of gin. @Lionbileti

Margaret Annabelle Helvets-Rochefort scowled from the Seven Skies. “How dare this girl be considered a princess! My brother made us traitors to his Imperial Majesty. What a disgrace for us to be considered anything at this point.”
