The President noded at the comments Mikaela made and listened to her, which is something that Aguilar believed she needed. Before Mikaela left, Jesús escorted Mikaela to the front door.

"It was my pleasure to see you again, Mikaela, and I hope you have a nice comeback to Inquista! Take care too!" Said the President before Mikaela entered the motorcade and left. He then went back to his private residence, and the summit was over.

Mikaela took out her phone and snapped a selfie of herself and the Czech Prime Minister, with Ava Max performing in the background. "Don't worry, we'll take another when we actually meet Ava," Mikaela commented with a smile.

The Archbishop then continued to dance and enjoy the rest of the concert alongside Prime Minister Černá. Once the concert was over, the pair lined up backstage to meet Ava. The Archbishop grabbed Černá by the hand, and together they walked past the entire line. Young girls, their moms, and gay male fans stared at the pair with intense scorn as they cut the entire line. Mikaela and Černá then walked into a green room and met with Ava, who was awaiting them.

"Mikaela! So glad to see you again!" Ava Max greeted with enthusiasm.

“Amanda, great to see you again!” Mikaela stated as she gave Ava two kisses on her cheeks, before then hugging her. Mikaela then introduced Ava Max to the Prime Minister. “Amanda, this is Prime Minister Slavomíra Černá of Czech Slavia.”

After the two got acquainted with one another, Mikaela then gestured for Ava, Černá and herself to take a picture together. The three took a selfie together, first on Mikaela’s phone, then on Černá’s phone. Mikaela took a black marker from her purse and handed it to Ava Max, and then requested that Ava sign her chest. Ava happily obliged, and signed Mikaela’s bare chest.

The Archbishop and the Prime Minister then bid Ava farewell, and departed from the concert hall. The duo then returned to the Archbishop’s Palace. Immediately upon their arrival, Dášenka came rushing to greet them, paying particular affection to her newly adoptive mother. Dášenka was wagging her tail and running in-between the legs of the ladies.

Another gift was awaiting Černá. While the two leaders were attending the concert, a large painting was delivered to the Archbishop’s residence. The painting, which was supposed to commemorate the state visit, was placed at the entrance.

“Oh, this is beautiful. This is meant for you. I hope you can fit it in your luggage. Maybe you can place it on your office wall? Or maybe in the bathroom? Whatever produces the most feng shui,” Mikaela commented.

At this point, it was starting to get late and Mikaela decided that it best to wrap up the evening. Mikaela demanded that Prime Minister Černá was to stay for the evening, and should instead only return home in the morning. Mikaela treated the Prime Minister to a quick face mask in the spa room, before then going to the salon room to wash up together, brush their teeth, and prepare for bed. Once the two leaders were ready to go to sleep, the Archbishop led the Prime Minister to her guest room, where the two would be spending the night together.

Inside the guest room was a massive pink bunk bed, which was shaped like a castle. Prime Minister Černá was to sleep on the bottom bunk, and the Archbishop was to climb the steps of the miniature castle and sleep on the top bunk.

“Well, thanks for spending the day with me! It was so much fun getting to finally meet you one-on-one. I feel like I’ve already gotten to know you so well. You’re like a true sister, Mira. We got some much done today, and I think we made some good agreements! We need to have a day like this again in the future, hopefully in Prague. I don’t even know how to spell Prague! Anyway, I hope you have sweet dreams. Good night Mira!”

Simon shook hands with Emryc and gave him the gift wine fresh from the cellars of the king.

"It is such an honor Emryc."

Then he left the office and went back to Reitzmag.

Mayor Results Alert Sound Plays

And Copalans, Europeans, here we have the Mayor results. The new mayor of Copala City is Amal Maxwells, who has won by just a 0.55% of votes, which means 2,772 votes between the CIU, CRP and FP coalition, which won the election and the GLF, RR and MILF coalition, which was in second. And with this, we end with the special broadcast for the elections. It's been a pleasure to be here tonight with Stephanie and all our fellow spectators. Good night from the City where dreams come true, good night from Copala City.

The Copalan Independent Union, the Copalan Republican Party and the Freedom Party have announced that Amal Maxwells is their joint candidate for the Mayoral Election which will take place tomorrow. She has no political affiliation to any of the coalied parties.

"I'd like to thank your Majesties, Royal Highnesses, and the esteemed members of the Princesa de Asturias Foundation who have bestowed this honour upon the European Union. During tumultuous times like these, the European Union has made tremendous strides in fostering international cooperation across Europe, overcoming our divides and building a common community that is more harmonious, collaborative and united.

It is special to receive this award just three days before the European Union celebrate its first Europe Day. The European Commission, which includes my dear friends Premier Merkel and Commissioner Juncker, has been working tirelessly to serve the European people, and to advance the European Union's values of peace, democracy and human rights. We thank you for recognising our work and our value, and we thank you, the Royal Household, and the Kingdom of Spain, for being an integral part of our success.

Thank you so much!"

The sealed doors of the papal apartments are now ready to be reopened. One by one, Pope Peter II cuts the ribbons on each of the doors from the hallways to his personal office.

The holy father then went on to the window of his office to look at the people visiting the square. Then, he waves at the people showing that he sees them. After taking some pictures with the media just at the lobby, he proceeds to St. Peter's Basilica to do confession.

After the confession he then headed back to his room to have some rest.

The Spanish and Inquistan crews took photos, made videos and before leaving, they left the Spanish and Inquistan flags on a free side of Atlantis, next to its entry. Everyone left with the photos, videos and some of the treasures. When they got to the ship, the Red Croatian refugees by the volcano, the crew members, Víctor and El Capitán celebrating eating some dishes made from the big calamari and typical Spanish and Inquistan food.

The Spanish part of the crew said goodbye to the Inquistan crew, which came back by plane with similar treasures than the Spanish got. They promised to cooperate back on its research and everything they could get to know. The coordinates were saved, the photos were publised and everyone was happy with their work. They had done it.

The End

Meeting of the Czech National Democracy

Everybody was silent in the National Democracy headquarters in Ostrava, the last few days were very hectic for the nationalists. While the Communist Party was once again trying to persuade the voters on their opposition to immigration, the nationalist were quick to try to hold their own supporters by an active anti-immigration campaign. The chairwoman Klára Zbouralová fell the possibility of swaying some Civic Forum and Social Democratic voters and went for this chance.

These elections offered a huge opportunity for the National Democracy. If they did well in these elections the doors would be open to finally becoming the largest Czech opposition party, and many in the room believed that their party would be the one finally able to break the dominance of the Communist Party if it ever got the chance. But there was no reason for celebration just yet, just patient waiting in silence. Silence.

Simon greeted Eriksson and went on with the protocols. Upon arrival, Simon shook hands with Kristian. This was his first time to meet a Vardic Head of State/Government.

"Greetings Mr. Nylund, I see we have a lot to discuss today?" said Simon.

After the service, the now Queen offered a reception a the Bourgeon Palace where she addressed the guestss who where present at this sad event. All the guests where waiting a the atrium room in the Bourgeon Palace, and the now Queen Victoria advanced towards the palace.

"My friends and members of the court, It all seems so unbelievable still that my father is no longer here and it is only after some time has passed one begins to realise how much he is missed, my father was an outstanding leader of Europe and a friend to all, he proved that monarchies who work hand in hand with the people are responsible to deliver progress, and Montenbourg, is a nation by and for all, always ready to help to the most needed, we all today are Montenbourg.... she let some tears come down by the sudden death of my dear father I am called to assume the duties and responsibilities of sovereignty....

alt text

"My heart is too full for me to say more to you today than I shall always work, as my father did throughout his reign, to mantain our name in europe as the House of Bourgeon, to advance the happiness and prosperity of my peoples. We have been so comforted to know that we are not alone in our sorrow, as it seems so many people feel they have lost a friend as well as a king."

"Ahh, yes, of course, congratulations on your wife's pregnancy, Jesus", Lord Christopher said, slightly annoyed that his ruse to get the Spanish and Mennrimians to engage in any type of conversation whatsoever had failed. Ah well. There would be opportunities on future occasions. Who knew, perhaps even at the second part of the event, which, given that the Imperial Kitchens were running out of steam - and food - would no doubt be announced soon.

"Could people just not die for one. single. evening.", thought Artabanos as he was informed of the Montenbourgian Crown Princess's predicament by someone who was, notably, not Gert Veruylscht. "Ugh. Funerals are such boring occasions, too. All black. Ew. If I go I know I'll be sporting my pink tie, that's for sure."

Every bite of food passed through Artabanos's digestive system like a ball of nails. Clearly, His body was not yet made for this type of event. "Excuse me, just a moment", He said to the distinguished guests sat beside Him, "Duty calls." Duty did, indeed, call, but not quite as innocent a duty as happened behind the gold-plated doors of the Imperial Water Closets. Artabanos briefly left the room and, the moment He was out of sight, let out a huge gasp. Clutching His ribcage, He took out his flask and emptied it. "Christ", He let out, muffled, "Right, time to move this on, or I'll truly be dead by the end of the evening."

For several minutes, He surveyed the banqueting hall, which had seemingly fallen into an awkward atmosphere after Princess Victoria's sudden disappearance. In a surveying glance, Artabanos saw Reitzmic PM Bridges's bulge - the one caused by his service revolver, naturally. But, no sign of Veruylscht. Artabanos clutched the arm of a random passing waiter, and demanded the second part of the event be started. Soon after, He returned to His seat and managed to talk around a comment by Archbishop Kligenberg that He looked oh-so-pale. Within minutes, gongs were sounded and the announcement was made that the party would transfer to the next room.

Guests, some still finishing their dinners, filed into the magnificent ballroom, where an open bar and several tables had been arranged. "Thank fuck for that", thought Artabanos as He gunned it for the whisky section. Guests were now free to roam around and mingle with whoever they liked, meaning no further tensions between the Spanish, the Mennrimians, or even the Reitzmic delegation. Artabanos, downing a glass, saw the immense relief on Vicarius Cocx's face, a face which bore the distinguishable sign of having sat next to Lord Zgeirtan for far too long. Poor man. It was a shame he did not drink, in Artabanos's view. Then again, that was probably also one of Cocx's strengths.

Ah well. Time to still make the most of it. Artabanos filled His glass again and walked over to a large group of guests, who still seemed fluttered at the sudden change of decor.

The military, once all the protocolary acts finished, prepared for the parade through the streets of the capital city of Nofoaga. The President, Lula Namatatiki, gave the order to proceed and the parade started. The people had Spanish and Nofoaganese flags. There was a band playing the Nofoaga's anthem at the start of the parade.

When the ground show ended, the airshow did its job. Some fighters and jets flew over the attendants to the parade.

"Of course duty always comes Ms. Inge" said Simon to Inge as she began to leave

"Ms. Emma, I'm very glad to hear your interest in such proposal. And I think we should also agree on free movement. As I have continually tried to tell you, Reitzmag is a friend and I want to prove that. Our motive for these projects are for the good of both our countries. Not a single proposal I have mentioned is meant to harm North Diessen nor make it a puppet or colony of my country. All we want is to prepare North Diessen for the future and develop it for the future. I want to prove to you that we have no intention of being a colonist of your country."
