A Summit of Unlikely Sisters
-
"Ms. Arch... Mikaela I must thank you for your hospitality, but in a term of gossip I worry that I bring nothing but disappointment to you. First of all, but that is more of a disappointment to me, National Front was disbanded, we now stand alone. But now regarding hotties and thots, and this may be a disappointment to you, but in the leading positions of the party there is not really a lot of people under sixty and even less under fifty, and the atmosphere is... largely conservative in this aspect. We can't all have people like Firoux, you won with him. And you yourself are also certainly a victory in this aspect! Do you even age? Perhaps you are just a capitalist vampire in the literal sense." Černá simply smiled a little at her own joke. And started looking around the room.
"This place is massive! And I like your style, but I personally would decorate the room with a bit more images of inspirational people, or some nice realist painting, none of that fancy hard to understand abstract art, created by the pseudo-artists" she once again look around to see if she didn't accidentally insult Archishops's style.
"Oh, you asked about Čikarová, right? Sofie is alright, She did quite fine in the election so we decided to give her a little bit of more space for independent work. You know we can't just start marching with her pictures around the city, countries like Fremet are too dependent on soy consumption to understand and we can't alienate Fremetians voters."
"Now what about the men and women around you? Do you have any gossip... Or a magazine! We could rate the men there. I mean if you want to."
-
"Honestly, the secret to not aging, is just not stressing out. Stress definitely causes a lot of wrinkles. Just the other day, my cousin, Silas, was yapping away about the budget, and telling me that we can't just keep throwing money at things. 'Money doesn't grow on trees,' he said. Duh! But like, you can still just print more money. Like there's machines that print money. Then he was telling me about this thing called 'inflation'. I was like, 'then just deflate it then'? Obvious! I swear, boys just make up stuff to make things more complicated. Boys are so stressful. Mira, I promise you, if you purged all boys from your party, you'd never age another day in your life."
"I'm glad Sophie is doing well! I totally understand. Fremetains are total soy boys. I once dated this movie director from Fremet. He was very romantic, I do have to admit that. Like he cried when we watched Toy Story, which was kinda cute, but in retrospect, definitely a red flag. But the problem was that he couldn't even carry my purse from my Bugatti to the door. It was too heavy for him. What the heck? Fremetian women though... gorgeous. Built like tanks, but gorgeous. Have you had the pleasure of meeting Erna Solberg? She's an amazing Fremetian bodybuilder."
The Archbishop paused for a minute and glanced around the room. She eyed some of the gunshot holes left in the the corners of the walls, which were left by the mob that attacked the palace and lynched Archbishop Craticus. Mikaela did her best to redecorate, and managed to plaster the walls with some new wallpaper, but some of the remnants from the revolution remained.
"Honestly, I agree. I definitely need to step up my decorating game. Hmmm... some inspiring people? Like Jennifer Lopez? Maybe Sofia Vergara? I mean, I still do have some posters from my big days in the music industry. Maybe I could put those up? Oh! I know. Mira, you have such good taste! Here, let me grab my laptop, and you find some art for me, and I'll buy it!"
The Archbishop scurried away from the salon room and disappeared. After a short while, the Archbishop reappeared in the room with two pink laptops and a magazine. The Archbishop placed one of the pink laptops in front of the Czech Prime Minister, and put the other away.
"Don't worry about prices, I'll just expense it to the national budget. Pick out whatever works of art you think are good and I'll hang them up. I heard those in the UNSR are producing some good art. Probably can't buy those directly from Inquista, but I'm sure there are some middlemen we can go through."
While the Czech Prime Minister perused on the laptop, the Archbishop then opened up her magazine, the Europolis Essential.
"Unfortunately, not a lot of gossip on my end either. I met Prime Minister Bridges of Reitzmag recently. He really enjoyed going to the spa and shopping, so you know, I thought he was big time GBF material. He's married to a woman though, apparently. However, I heard he met up with Prime Minister Aguilar for a private meeting in a random park in Europolis. I don't want to draw conclusions, but I think there's something going on there. I also felt like there was a lot of... uhh... tension between them at the recent dinner in Inimicus. I think there's a romantic spark between them."
After flipping through the magazine, the Archbishop stumbled upon a page she quite liked.
"Oooh! Ok, here's a list of some of the guys in the European Council. Tell me what you also think of them. Councillor Michel? Honestly, he has such a cute smile. He's a 7. Speaker Firoux? I know him too well personally. Like a platonic 8. Would you ever date a capitalist like him? Be honest. I know he's married now, but like, hypothetically. Ooh! Councillor Klohout. Maybe like a 6. Councillor Shakur? He's a total 10! Councillor Shakur is the full package. I'm glad he's totally alive in Pravoslaviya and not dead at all. Councillor Plessis? Ok, I swear, I've seen so many memes of that man online. Total DILF, but he constantly looks like he's in a lot of chest pain. Maybe like a 4? Councillor Van Allen? Err... a 2. Councillor Tusk is last but not least. I bet he has a really big stimulus package. I'd give him a 7. "
-
"No, no, I still haven't met Solberg in person, but I'll make sure to let you know in advance, so you can help me prepare. And Bridges with Aguilar? I don't believe it, until I saw it... but it would explain those drawings and short stories on the internet about them... hmmm, perhaps you could set them up? Like invite them here to diner with you, but don't tell them you invited the other one, and then surprise, Mikaela is nowhere to be seen and they are both sipping on the same spaghetti! At least it would be not a gruesome story for the people, different from the Haanean atrocities, not to say it would also give us all more space to do our stuff away from the eyes of those media vultures, everybody wins! Except maybe Mrs. Bridges."
Černá now once again turned her attention to the computer screen. "You know Miky, hanging posters of yourself is not a bad idea, especially after successful revolution, but you'd have to spread them outside your office, they would be more important in the public buildings and streets more. And whoever you yorself find inspiration you should get. Nicoleizian paintings are pretty good... but if you would insist on something perhaps not as realistic I would recommend our very own Happy Flower but I know it is a conflict of interests.... but just know that you can say a word and we can deliver you whatever you want painted!"
Černá resumed her gaze at the magazine "Michel is pretty cute, but honestly your ratings are pretty merciful, you can't expect that from me! He is a 4. But your Firoux is definitely an eye candy, solid 7, would be higher if he had different color of eyes. But you can't really date capitalists like him! Now one night stand , that would be a bit different.. Kohout is pretty old for my taste, 4. Shakur is 8, good body, but covered in indecent capitalist pseudo-culture. Plessis is just old again, but even older, 2. On the other hand do you remember Leagolian President Lifejumper? Now he is quite a fish! Strong 9."
-
Mikaela smiled as Černá suggested the idea of setting up Prime Minister Bridges and President Aguilar on a blind date together. Mikaela thought it was a genuinely excellent plan. "Mira, that is such a great idea! I will have to do that. But honestly, doing that to Mrs. Bridges does hurt my heart. Although she really does deserve better, doesn't she? She deserves true love too. Maybe once Simey and President Aguilar finally confess their love, we can help set Mrs. Bridges up with someone else? Maybe with President Lifejacket?"
"President Lifejacket is very dreamy. Only a 9? Honestly, I'd give him a 10. There's something in the water in Leagio, I swear. They're all so cute. I also feel as if I recognise them all from somewhere? I just can't put my finger on it. But yeah, I couldn't take my eyes off their President during that meeting in Europolis. Mira, you have very good taste. I'm definitely too generous with my ranking. I'm such a hopeless romantic... I need to set some higher standards for myself."
Mikaela sighed, spaced out in the distance for a second, and then refocused.
"You give such good advice, Mira. Thank you. I have so many good pictures of myself on my Instagram feed. It's a shame that they aren't just shown around in public. I wonder if I could have some electronic billboards installed all around Saint Dominico, and just have pictures from my Instagram feed just show up on there? I mean, not the pictures that I post about my breakfast, but like, the pictures of me at the beach, looking real skinny? Aww, that would be cute. People would love that, I feel like."
The Archbishop then turned to the laptop screen and nodded approvingly.
"I love this painting of the Happy Flower. I definitely need some copies of it! Hmmm. Maybe I should order 17 Happy Flower paintings? Well, just those for the palace. It's such a good piece, and it should also definitely belong in some museums too. Hmm... maybe, like an extra 124 copies? I can donate them to some galleries. Okay. Here's my final verdict. I will buy 223 Happy Flower Paintings. Please see if you can have them shipped here as quickly as possible."
Mikaela then smirked and pulled out the other pink laptop she had brought in earlier. Mikaela then placed her laptop beside Černá's.
"Oh, I have an amazing idea. When I first saw you Mira, I just knew you were also a gamer girl. Here, let's play something. Have you played Champions of Strength and Sorcery III? It's so good. The musical track is great. Not as good as IV, but the gameplay is better in III. We can play it multiplayer toegther! Come, join my lobby."
Mikaela and Černá then put on their headsets, and began to play Champions of Strength and Sorcery III together, along with two randoms that grouped up with them in the lobby.
"I love to play this game, especially with Prince Tommy and Queen Anastasia. Ani's got like 435 hours on this game, she's so good! It's so much fun. Ok, girl, we need to team up against the person playing as the Haane-Keste faction. Their special Ievonuia-tipped spear warriors are soooo OP! Even though I love this game, it's not as good as the recent CUK games, I have to say. Lead and Overpower? I'm obsessed. Would CUK games be interested in expanding to include an Inquistan studio?""
As the two gamed, Mikaela shifted the conversation to some political matters. "Honestly, what's going on in Eastern Haane right now is so sad. I'm not sure how I feel about all of Europe coming to turn our backyard into a warzone. What do you think about the European Council's proposal on Eastern Haane? Would Czech Slavia participate as part of the EU mission? I think our countries need to be on the same page together, considering this is happening so close to us. What are your thoughts on a path forward for Eastern Haane?"
-
"Either that or we could just let Mrs. Bridges in on them! Perhaps having another partner would just add another flavor to their relationship or perhaps they will start a fight over Mr. Bridges, either way it is big story for the media and that just means more space for us to act without their pesky noses being stuck into everything!"
Černá had no idea how to play the game Mikaela has placed before her and was mostly trying to get Mikaela's attention away from the game to not let her see the lacking gaming skills. Černá never played any game that wasn't Match 3 or Bubble Shooter. "I think there will be no objections to a studio from Inquista to join CUK, they can just write a request and we will see how it goes from there."
Černá finally turned her attention from the game fully, despite it being her turn, once she started talking about Eastern Haane. "Oh I think there is no choice but to participate, all order has fallen and the violence is getting out of hand, I usually oppose foreign involvement in other countries, but I feel like there is no other way." Černá eyes were now fixed on Mikaela "But there is one thing that separates us two and the other representatives of the European Union countries, they lack any vision, but we need to think about the future. What will happen to the country after our intervention? I couldn't agree with you more that we need to be on the same page. That is why we should discuss this problem. I admire how you mentioned to stabilize the society after the overthrow of Craticus and in my country we keep our country stable too, together with the fact of our proximity of Eastern Haane who better is there to advise them how to finally stabilize their country? Our countries should begin working on creating and assisting new Haanean government, and don't let those lacking vision having a word in that. I am sure we could work something out, beneficial for the people of Eastern Haane as well as our countries, and I am sure the people of Eastern Haane would love to see your Instagram pictures too!"
-
"I hope so! It would be a devastating loss for the Haanean people to not see my Instagram pictures. They've already suffered enough. It's about time that they all begin to heal and come together as a country, and I think I have the face, the body and the right amount of facetune and filters to accomplish that."
Mikaela and Černá both then refocused and continued to play Champions of Strength and Sorcery III. They teamed up together against the Haane-Keste player, before then ganging up against the Kaasian Sith Empire faction player. After the two n00bs were defeated, the two women were then left with no option but to turn against one another. Mikaela wigged in her chair as she jammed and listened to the theme of her Inquistan faction from head her headset. Miraculously, Černá managed to defeat Mikaela's champions and take her cities. Mikaela smiled and shook her head as Černá won the game.
"I never win, I swear," Mikaela sighed. "The only games I win are ones with tons of microtransactions. Oh, and that one time I won minesweeper by clicking completely randomly."
Mikaela put the laptop away and got up from her seat. "I managed to book us a dinner reservation at this really magnificent restaurant that's just around the corner from the palace. It's a very short walk. We can continue to talk over a lovely dinner."
The two leaders departed from the salon room and walked into the main hallway. There, they were greeted by a group of energetic puppies. The puppies ran between their legs and spun around excitedly in circles.
"My dogs, Sir and Duchess, just had puppies! This is their litter. They're Inquistan Terriers! They're considered our national dog breed."
Mikaela lifted one of the puppies up, which seemed to have taken a certain liking to Černá.
"Aww, this one likes you! I believe this one is a she. Do you want to have her? I unfortunately have to give all the puppies away, so please do take her. Consider her a present from me to you, as well as a gift from Inquista to Czech Slavia. Oh! I have an idea. We can take her to the restaurant with us."
Mikaela summoned an assistant, who brought a small pink leash. Mikaela attached the leash to a collar, which she put on the puppy. Mikaela then handed the leash to Černá, and they then departed the Archbishop's Palace to walk to the nearby restaurant.
Once inside the restaurant, the two leaders and the puppy were taken to a section which was completely cleared from having any guests, as per the request of the Archbishop. The restaurant did not normally permit the admission of dogs or any pets, but they made an exception for the Archbishop. Mikaela asked that a kiddie seat be brought to the table for the puppy, who would be seated next to Černá. Mikaela then proceeded to order some food and drinks for Černá and herself, and also asked for some peppermint ice cream to be served as some dessert.
Mikaela sipped on some wine as she then reignited some political discussion. "Well, I'm glad that you're just as eager to be on the same page. So when the Council establishes an EU-backed mission into Eastern Haane, we need to make sure that the intervening coalition doesn't get up to any funny business, and we need to keep them accountable. I don't want the situation to turn into a mess, you know?"
Mikaela took another sip from her wine before continuing. "I also have some questions which might seem silly. If I'm honest, I don't know too much about how your country's economy works, Mira. People in Inquista always say communism is bad. I mean, sharing seems like a really nice and kind thing to do, personally. You're also very nice Mira, so don't worry, I don't believe all those terrible things. But the communists in Icholasen kicked out dear Anastasia from her house, took her crown, and now she's living in Ibiza. That wasn't very nice at all! Luckily Ani is a total Gemini, which means she can handle change, so she's fine."
"But anyway, what's your country's policy on foreign investment? Are foreign companies allowed to operate in Czech Slavia? Could foreign companies buy certain stakes or make investment in cooperatives?"
-
"Your dogs really are adorable, I love the one you gave me, does she have a name already? Speaking about dogs, the ones from the coalition might be quite naughty on the other hand, we will definitely need to keep them on a leash, if we are looking forward to securing happy future for Eastern Haane, I completely agree with you. But anyway, tell me, are Inquistan Terriers good with kids? Oh and by the way, I have no idea how I won that game, so don't feel bad about it, probably just begginers luck!"
Slavomíra Černá was quite impressed with the restaurant in Inquista, she could only think about how to impress the Archbishop once she comes to visit Czech Slavia. "Your wine is so good! Is it local? Oh our economy? Well all of our companies are state owned, only media can be owned by political parties or cooperatively, but they are forbidden from receiving foreign founds. Penetration of Czech Slavia by foreign businesses is also not allowed, our state companies can trade with foreign companies, private or state-owned, and resell the products in our country but that is about it. We just don't think that kind of penetration is any good."
"I honestly do not understand any stars that are not read or gold, so I know nothing about signs! But perhaps you could teach me something? And honestly, you shouldn't be so hard at our brothers and sisters from Icholasen, besides, what is so wrong about living in Ibiza anyways?" Černá smiled as she was finishing her ice cream.
-
"She does not have a name! You should definitely give her a name. Maybe something in Czech? Hmmm. I don't know much Czech, but I do remember this one word that this Czech Worker's Paper called me... I think it was "děvka"? I think it means beautiful, right? Inquistan Terriers are very great with kids! They're very protective of them."
Mikaela sipped the rest of her wine to completion, until she then poured herself another glass. "Yes this is local, but I guess it depends on how you define local. Inquista has many wine distilleries and breweries where we produce our own wines, but we import all of our grapes. We don't have any room of vineyards, or any agriculture, really."
The Archbishop then ate a bit of her mint ice cream before continuing. "It's true, not all forms of penetration are good. Sister Helen at the Saint Dominico's Academy of the Cross always warned me about penetration, and I have always practiced it safely since."
Mikaela drank some wine and then continued to talk. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with living in Ibiza, I love spending lots of time there myself. It's just that Ani isn't the same when she doesn't have her royal duties to keep her busy. Now she's spending all her time swiping on Tinder, hooking up with young tourists that come visit the island, and allowing Tommy to surround her with bad influences. Between you and me Mira, I don't think Ani is as sceptical of penetration as we are. I don't think I could handle becoming the godmother to another child of hers. That's a lot of pressure!"
Mikaela then finished her glass of wine, and motioned for a waiter to come over and bring a new bottle of wine. The waiter returned with a new bottle, poured the Archbishop a glass, and then left the bottle at the table before walking away. Mikaela took a sip before then resuming her attention to Prime Minister Černá.
"The economic system in Czech Slavia is very interesting. Well, I suppose that rules out any proposals I was going to make about investing in Czech Slavia. I know you say we shouldn't be harsh on our Nicoleizian friends, but ugh... we have to, and I hate that. I don't really don't like it. Unfortunately, sometimes in a messy breakup, as a friend, you just gotta pick a side, you know? I'm super loyal to my sis Ani, and so I have to have her back 100%. For me, loyalty is everything, and I super respect that you're supporting your friends in the UNSR. Even though we disagree, I really appreciate your sense of comradery, and I hope that you know that I will always offer that level support and friendship to you and your government as well, because you're just the best Mira."
Mikaela downed her glass of wine and then poured herself another. She then opened up her purse and pulled out a piece of paper, which she studied as she began to speak.
"Ok, so my cousin Silas wanted me to bring up something super boring... trade. Boring, I know! That's why I asked about the economic situation earlier. Buuuuuut, because Inquista is now in this unfortunate situation where we aren't trading with Icholasen, we've now lost our best trade partner. As a city-state, we basically import all our natural resources. As you can probably imagine, Inquista needs many resources to support our businesses.
According to this list my cousin gave me, Czech Slavia has lots of iron, phosphate and rare earth metals. This list also says that Czech Slavia is the only country where we can currently import rare earth metals from. I don't even know what those are. Well, iron I know is important for blood. Never heard of phosphate though. Are rare earth metals like expensive rocks? Apparently Inquista imports a lot of those, which seems silly, because I don't know what we do with rocks.
Anyway, so because state companies can trade with foreign companies, that means that Inquistan companies could buy from your mining companies? It would be great if this this was allowed, and if your government would allow Inquistan companies to buy all metals and minerals from your country with as few restrictions as possible. In return, my cousin said he would eliminate all Inquistan tariffs placed on Czech metals and minerals, encouraging more Inquistan businesses to buy from your businesses, and reducing costs for Inquistan consumers. How does this sound?"
-
"Oh I was hoping to hear that Miky! We will be very happy to trade with your companies! And I can assure you that the money we get from trade we will put to further develop our mining businesses so our trading will become even more beautiful and beneficial for both sides with time! Invest more to the mines, to the equipment, to the miners and to the schools for training experienced miners. But of course, since you lost your trading partner in Icholasen, with a high demand we will really have to stretch our mining forces, that will be reflected on the price..... now if Czech Slavia was removed from that Communist Refugee Program, we would have more miners available and the prices for your market would be lower."
Černá turned her eyes to the puppy and petted her "And then I think I will call this little bundle of joy "Dášenka", do you like it?"
-
"Mira, that's a beautiful name!" Mikaela squealed as she took another swig of wine. "If Juan-Bernardo and I have any children, I will definitely need you to help me name them."
Mikaela then downed the rest of the wine, drinking it until it was all finished. The Archbishop rocked somewhat uneasily in her chair and began to speak rather slowly and carefully, so as to not slur her speech. "I will... definitely see what I can do about getting... Czech Slavia... removed from the Communist Refugee Program. Not sure if I can get the College... of Bishops to agree... but I will try... I think Bishop Lallana would like that."
Suddenly, the Archbishop's fitbit began to beep loudly. "Oh! We need to hurry back... our limo will be picking us up... soon."
Mikaela stood up from her seat and then immediately grabbed onto the table, preventing herself from falling over. Mikaela then grabbed Prime Minister Černá by the hand, and together along with Dášenka, the trio departed from the restaurant in somewhat of a hurry, making their way down the street and back to the Archbishop’s Palace. Mikaela could barely walk straight, and relied on Černá to help keep her propped up straight. As they entered the palace, Mikaela pulled on Černá's hand and led her to the nearest bathroom. Mikaela plopped herself onto the ground, crawled towards the toilet and then began to vomit into it.
Mikaela pushed her hair out of her face. "Mira... please... hold my... hair," Mikaela instructed. Černá politely obliged and held Mikaela's hair back as she then proceeded to continue to throw up in the toilet, emptying the alcohol from her stomach. Not since Areai's coup has Europe witnesses such a messy purge. Mikaela then fell over sideways. Černá let go of Mikaela’s hair but was quick enough to then catch the Archbishop by her arm, which she then held up.
After some time, Mikaela then sat right up. "Ok, I'm feeling much better. Let me brush my teeth and have a glass of water."
Mikaela managed to get up fine and then walked hurriedly upstairs to brush her teeth. She then came trotting down the stairs, where she was greeted by an assistant with a glass of fresh cold water. Mikaela sipped from the glass of water as her assistant then informed her that her limousine had arrived. Mikaela finished the water and returned to Černá.
"I'm so so so sooooo sorry about earlier, Mira. So embarrassing! But don't worry about me, this happens all the time. I'm good. Actually, I'm great, because we're going to a concert! Do you like Ava Max? We're good friends, and we also happen to have the same manager. We've been thinking we might collab in the studio soon. Anyway, she's very generously gifted me front row ticket to her show and I'm pretty sure it's going to start soon!"
Unfortunately Dášenka couldn't attend the concert, so she was left behind as Mikaela and Černá went outside and climbed into the pink limousine waiting for them. The two were driven to a concert hall, and then made their way inside and to the front row. A couple of minutes passed before Ava Max appeared on stage and began to perform.
Mikaela danced from side to side as Ava began to perform Kings & Queens. Mikaela then began to sing along with Ava. "We would pop champagne and raise a toast to all of the queens who are fighting alone; baby, you're not dancin' on your own," Mikala sang painfully off-key.
Mercifully, Mikaela decided it was best to stop butchering the song, and then turned to Černá, speaking extremely loudly, as to talk over Ava's singing. "Mira, this has given me an idea. As part of our agreement, we need to sign an official declaration of friendship between the people of Czech Slavia and Inquista. Our people are not dancing on their own."
-
"What an amazing concert Miky! I definitely had fun with you this evening! But my point stands, I can't sign any declaration of friendship between our people while you keep taking them from us, once that is changed there is nothing in a way of me signing that declaration." Černá kept looking at the Archbishop and then smiled. "But we are personally of course already friends! And you are always welcomed in my country. Hm.. perhaps if we can't get that declaration at this precise moment we could at least take a selfie? Perhaps even with Ava after her concert?."
Černá then looked at the podium, her smile disappeared "Oh and by the way, can you really be sure that the incident you had earlier is nothing to worry about? I mean, a strong and ambitious women like you might just stand in a way of somebody, you can never underestimate the possible opponents."
Černá once again returned her gaze to Mikaela and smiled again "But it was probably really nothing, one just can't be too sure about anything."
-
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!”
