Charles Alstion let out a sigh as he thought of the night spent at the first destination of the royal tour "I hope that the rest of our hosts will be as nice as the Reinholds. We should pay them a visit some day, naturally once the royal tour is over!" The Crown Prince said with a smile to his wife - Hedwig of Warsovia @ibiou

YES. Give more emote colours, keep them coming....

Charles Alstion wiped sweat off his forehead as nailed the second tavern sign to a pole "That's the last of them." The Crown Prince announced with a huff before climbing down the ladder

Charles literally forgot even though he asked his wife-to-be whether someone is missing and she pointed out the absence of Cosima, perhaps the Crown Prince will send a separate invite once he reminds himself of this mistake...

It is with the greatest pleasure that the Lord of Alba announces his impending marriage to Her Excellency, the Lady Chamberlain Hedwig of Warsovia. After companionship in their childhood and a blossoming courtship after, their betrothal was announced at the inauguration of Prince Charles Reman in the year 1973. Upon this momentous occasion for those in the Heartlander Confederation do they, the future King and Queen-consort of Aaun, wish to proclaim their marriage in front of family, friends and allies under the watchful eye of God. ITINERARY THE GREAT STAG-DO [3PM EST, May 3rd 2024] To mark the momentous occasion, Prince Charles Reman invites the lords and ladies of the realm to join him on a hunt a month prior to the ceremony. In an attempt to garner good luck, the cohort must find and kill a stag successfully. The spoils shall be split amongst attendees. THE ROYAL WEDDING [4PM EST, May 4th 2024] In holy matrimony shall the couple be wed in the Chapel of Our Lady of Paradisius. Opting for a more intimate setting, the pews shall be removed for standing space. FEAST OF MATRIMONY [5PM EST, May 4th 2024] Following the wedding ceremony, guests will find themselves directed to the Hand of Horen for a banquet. Here, local delicacies and beverages will be provided as conversation will. Across the Silver Sea there will be a display of lanterns set off upon the horizon. If one wishes to petition the Lord and Lady of Alba, the feast is a great opportunity to do so. Formal invitations are offered to the following: The Royal House of Alstion The Royal House of Temesch of the Petra The Comital House of Jazlowiecki NOBILITY OF THE PROVINCE OF AAUN Prince Johannes von Alstreim and the Principality of Merryweather Margrave Siegmund von Reuss and Margraviate of Velen Margravine Olympe-Regine and the Margraviate of Haute-Epine Count Leon de Ardennes and the County of Talentine Baron Henri de Lewes and the Barony of Virdain Baron Emilio Varoche and the Barony of Napoliza The Royal City of Whitespire The Hamlet of Enswerp NOBILITY OF THE PROVINCE OF PETRA Margrave Aurel von Theonus and the Margraviate of Marignan Viscounts Wilford and Atticus Reinhold and the Viscounty of Stormont Viscount Freidrich von Augusten and the Viscounty of Azor Baron Aimo Astor and the Barony of Fir’steinn Baroness Katrin Stafyr and the Barony of Feldkirch The Free City of Chambery The Royal City of Vallagne ALLIES OF THE HEARTLANDS The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska The Kingdom of Balian The Principality of Reinmar PERSONAL INVITATIONS HSH, Marius Nikolas Barbanov-Bihar, Grand Prince of Kusoraev HRH, Alexandros Casimir Novellen, Prince of Monterosa HRH, Rowena Ivanna Temesch of the Petra, Countess of Clermont His Grace, Jean Bishop St. Godwin His Lordship, Olivier Ashford de Savoie His Lordship, George Halcourt Her Ladyship, Catherine de Lewes Master Traders, Boon and Bane Lord Vincente von Distrugere, Iron Baron of Distrugestadt and Lady Maristela von Distrugere Captain Tiber of the Legion of Saint Godwin Mister Heinrich von Kretzen TANDEM TRIUMPHANS, His Royal Highness, CHARLES REMAN, Crown Prince of Aaun & the Lord of Alba Her Excellency, HEDWIG OF WARSOVIA, Lady Chamberlain of the Paradisian Court

Charlie smiled upon the received invitation "We ought to bring them something nice. Perhaps some good Heartlander alcohol would do." The Crown Prince said to Hedwig, his wife-to-be, as they sat within the gardens of the Hand of Horen @ibiou

"To the future. Heartlands Endure!" Charles Alstion, the Crown Prince of Aaun, proclaimed as he lifted his glass of Roach Red, and smile of hope curled up at his face

As Waclaw stepped through the gates of the Seven Skies, three characters stood there - seemingly waiting for his arrival. "I left the House to you so you could finally grow up." Said Jan, the father of the late Count "I gave you my land so you could expand what you had." Added Heinrich, the Prince of Merryweather, cousin of the late Count "I gave you my support so you would never falter, and with all these three you have finished what father has started. Now you may rest." Concluded Waclaw's younger brother, Aleksander, before extending his arm towards him so he could finally join them and other deceased Jazlowieckis and their allies in the Seven Skies for eternity.

Charles frowned upon hearing the news "We spoke not too long ago Grandmaster. It is a real shame you had to answer the call so early. Rest easy." The Lord of Alba said before heading to the church to light a candle

"Let the people rumble. All those who spit at the Founders now, will soon forget and carry on with their lives while we will, hopefully, be the ones to pass the torch. They will forget just like they forgot about the fact that it was this Covenant that saved all our kingdoms from Veletzian rule of terror." Charles Alstion said before releasing a sigh, for all the young Crown Prince ever wanted was peace in his homeland

The Crown Prince of Aaun, Charles Alstion, read the announcement with a soft smile at his face "This has to be the first Royal Court since I was born! I must make sure to prepare myself for it, I cannot fail my royal father." The Lord of Alba said before running up the hundreds of stairs to reach his chamber at the top of the Hand of Horen

Charles Reman Alstion smiled upon receiving the invitation "Time passes so fast. We were children just a week ago..." He said with a sigh before penning a letter to the twin sisters

Charles Alstion, the Aaunic Crown Prince, sat in his chamber - reading the missive issued by the IMPERIAL SOCIETY, a soft smile curled up at the young Prince's visage as he thought of Empires old and new.

"Good cousins, set those sinners free." Charles Reman Alstion, the Crown Prince of Aaun, said as a copy of the issued declaration was brought to him
