Quistis-sensei, I have news. The foreign Prince has told me that his country would be more than willing to become our ally, along with one other country to the east. There is one other country whom I am still waiting for a reply from.

lets have a festival to celebrate the 1 week aniversary of the queendom.

Good work, deshi! Keep it up. I am pleased to hear such good news.


One week already? Time sure flies. We shall have the festivities after the wars are over.

Oh yeah... Forgot to ask...

EDIT: What are we fighting with?
Ex: guns, swords, mechs or pogo sticks

edit2: Where are we specifically?
(city-wise, nation-wise, planet-wise, space system galaxy-wise)

i think we should fight with mechs *on* pogo sticks weilding guns and swords. that would sure keep things interesting...

*envisions freedom gundam and escaflowne on pogo sticks and dies laughing*

lets just nuke the north and east, problems will be over in 10 seconds flat.

O_O shouldn't we put in an order for the tropps to evacuate, in that case?

nah. It'll decrease the surplus population. What we need. I should be there.

Is that really a wise move? I have my doubts.

*comes in a bows lady-like*...Your highness, how are the village celebrating Christmas in Queendom...I've hope it's jolly good! You should be attending along with them also rather then spending time on the throne a lot. It's not healthy...

Long Live the Queen...
*bows lady-like and leaves*...

i'm tellin you, its the only way. you don't really care about the goblins and slimy aliens and bloated ants and flying monkeys that live in the north and east do you? Lets blow them up.

but what about the uh...people of this queendom who happen to be there right now fighting for its sake? like ninja... and me... are we to be annihilated as well...? T_T

Yeah and.. er.. the ones doing negotiations. o_o

we'll conduct a special ememrgency code for you to evacuate.

*a hooded figure is seen walking the halls of the castle. it opens a door only to have falling man crash into him. before even a word can be said the mercencary is asleep, with a wave of the figure's gloved hand. the figure proceeds to walk past the unconcious man, and heads to the throne room. as it enters the throne it looks around.*

man its empty in here......

*whilst speaking those words, the figure removes the hood of his cloak to reveal the face of a well traveled and tired vizier*

guess i'll just sit here and wait for everyone to get back....

*transmutates a stone chair and table, sits down, and proceeds to read the newspaper*

*walks into the throne room listlessly and sees a figure sitting upon a chair, hidden behind a newspaper*

Hmm . . .

*approaches the figure slowly and peering around the newspaper, becomes pleasantly surprised*

*whispers* Hug him, Mommy! *pushes the Queen into the Vizier's lap* X///D

*looks up from his paper and smiles*

well its nice to see you too.....

*turns to the princess*

and you as well, young princess

*throws her arms around the Vizier* You've been missed, greatly.

*proceeds to hug her daughter as well* How are you, Angel?

*hugs the Vizier, wrinkling the newpaper* I missed you, Dad! *covers mouth then giggles* Too early for that, I guess... ehehe

*hugs the Queen* I missed you too, Mommy!!!

*hugs back*

i'm glad to see you both in high spirits.

so how were things in my absence?

*clings to the Vizier's leg* Aaah... the Prince proposed to me!!! *squee sound*... I wanted to plan your wedding too, but I was too busy...

We were gonna a-bomb the north... and yeah... ^^

There were no definite plans to do such a thing to the north, as many of the troops are still up there. There have also been a few more employees who offered to assist us in this war, and hopefully, that will smooth things over a little quicker.

*hugs Mommy* Always the brilliant-minded leader...

well i'm glad that you have finally decided on your fiancee, as for your mother and mine's wedding we do indeed have much to plan but.....

wait... we were plaining to nuke someone?! and who came up with this genius idea?

*suppressed laughter* Uhh, the crazy chik on that yonder hill...

i see.... well.... let's see... even though i don't know all the facts as of yet, i highly doubt that nuclear weapons are in anyone's best interests.

you were planning to nuke the north? uh, then i'm rather glad i left. *clears throat and wipes away blood from cuts* your royal queen-ness, my troops have successfully put down the rebellion surprisingly quickly in the north, with an overall 22% casualty among the troops. shortly after the surrender, i received notice via Royal e-mail that the Apprentice Queen was sorting out the finer points of the terms of surrender for the rebels, and thus left the situation in her capable hands. a few of my soldiers were assigned to act as her guard for the duration of her stay in the north, and the rest of the troops and I have returned back to the castle to rest and heal. currently, we-- *finally notices the cozy scene before her with the queen in the vizier's lap and the princess clinging to his leg* --we, uh. her royal-ness seems a tad occupied at the moment, so i'll disturb you not. the captain shall be, ah, guarding the royal refrigerator.

*gets up from the floor* I think I'll be joining you, Captain...

you have a done a fine job indeed captain, please enjoy the bounties of our royal fridge. however ensure that we get a list of all the casualties as we should send thier families a bonus of some sort.

Like I said, there were no definite plans. Although Thieves did make the suggestion, yes.

I am pleased to hear of your successes. You are indeed the best captain the queendom will ever have. I congratulate you on your efforts. Bonuses for all involved will be in order.

*comes scampering into the room* highness! *notices the queen, the princess, and the vizier all rather entangled*

X///]

er...highnesses, actually...i suppose... this one brings good news! whilst the conflict in the north has been resolved with minimal casualties...this one has infiltrated the factory building beyond the border and the chimera army (which, this one was surprised to find retreated rather quickly once they no longer had the cover of impending war on their side...) and discovered a passage that this one believes may lead us to the homonculus! XD *flails about*

Excellent, tokage! Well done.

you are too kind, majesty... shall this one investigate the passage further?

*looks around*

i would have thought you guys would have taken care of it by now but here....

*opens his palm to reveal the Box of a Million Ninjas*

take this it should help.

*bows and accepts the ninjas* thank you sir... welcome back...this one is glad you have returned unharmed. *scurries off with ninjas in tow to investigate the passage*


EDIT: whoooo, first post on page 60! XD

I wish you the best of luck, tokage, though with the Ninjas' assistance, there should be no difficulties.

And I am very happy that you have come back to us, my dear Vizier.

*big smile*

How was your journey into The Gate? There must have been all sorts of peculiar things that you have experienced therein. I was rather worried.

*shrugs*

eh it wasn't as bad as when i got sent there first time... i wouldn't want to get a summer home there or nothing. but all in all it wasn't that bad this time.

no need to worry, see how i gave tokage the box instead of going myself... now that we have more people we can each focus and spend more time doing what we want to.

I can't really think of anything that needs to be done at the moment. Troops are being trained and developed according to schedule, and everything seems to be improving. What else do we want/need to do?

*pokes head back in and flails* you need to relax...majesty. that's all. leave things to us for a while. *scampers away again*

plan the royal weddings, perhaps? or has the queen already been married in my absence?

But it feels so wrong to relax when everyone else is working so hard.

Oh, no, I'm not married yet. The Princess did say she wanted to plan the wedding or something, so perhaps I should wait until she is here to discuss these plans of hers.

Queen-sensei, I have just returned from the country in the north. Everything is sorted out and their surrender went along smoothly while I was there. The only trouble my group had was the weather. A terrible blizzard started while I was staying there which resulted in us staying a bit longer than expected. Along with the delay, many members of my party as well as myself have come down with mild to moderate cases of a cold.

And my nee-san got proposed to? Wonderful! Now all we have to wait for is her wedding, the queen's wedding, and my proposal. *hinthint* =D

*is somehow standing on hallway ceiling upside-down*
So that's who I ran into...
Must be an interesting fighter.

*jumps down from celing and dissapears*
*Reappears at the Vizier's room*
I'm starting warm-ups too early.

*puts a strange bar on the door and presses a button, then dissapears again*
*the bar expands, revealing a screen of light with a message*

reads

Nice to finally meet you.

Concerning background checks: I can't give that info out here.
It would cause lots of confusion and unwanted questions. Ask in private.
And I would like the info i requested concerning weaponry, time and place.

see ya around *a man with a signature is present, but falls off before being seen*

Please take a rest, Lady Ambassador/Apprentice. And I'll have the court physician take a look at the other infected soldiers.

And I do hope your special someone proposes soon.

*wakes up from a long nap, gets dressed and walks out the of his chambers. as he exits he notices the message*

wtf? who left this here?

*reads message, shrugs, and with a flick of the wrist destroys the message. he then heads directly for the throne room and sits down in the chair he made earlier*

hmmm... now who left that message? MAJOR!!!

*Armstrong comes running in*

Major, find out who it was that left me that message. That and get me someone to get me a scone.

*Armstrong salutes and leaves.*

*comes in and bows*...Oh my god! Everyone is here I'm so happy...get all teary...

Looks at Lady Ambassador and Lord Vizier...have both of you eaten well? *Serves a royal feast for them*...enjoy them I hope both of you are healthy...
A wedding...woopee... but I don't think I'll be here long enough to see it...my wishes...may the Her highness and Grand Vizier...err...his majesty live happily ever after...Long live Queendom...

This one apologizes for her irritating presence but won't this marriage change the title this Queendom earn a few weeks ago to Kingdom? I'm going to miss this thread and the people here...

Long live the Queen...*bows lady like and got out of the room*

"My life is just like the 'sampan' at the dreadful sea. I'm always control by fate even in my dreams. They won't let me row by myself unlike the ship."

Ready when you are, Mommy!

I think we should have it this week... the sooner, the better. Why? It'll stabilize the Queendom even more... and terrorize those who wish to rebel... *rubbs hands together evilly*
