Cassiopeia considered his words for a moment. She could describe her duchy, although it was remarkably similar to what he already knows, but she could spout facts about it all day long, as well as the rest of her country of course.
“My duchy was actually part of Burlia, many, many, years ago. When Merriedge formed, my ancestor pledged his loyalty to Merriedge instead of Burlia. The northereastern portion is similar in landscape, although warmer. My duchy also houses and technically commands the Royal Navy, although that may change soon. It seems they aren’t thrilled to have a female in charge, despite the fact that the I’m nothing more than a figurehead regardless of my gender.” Cassiopeia said before blushing at her tirade. He didn’t care about her internal issues, and moreover he probably agreed.
“My apologies, anyways Merriedge as a whole isn’t much of a farming country, although we do plenty. Since we’re centered on the continent most of our economy comes from trading. Our cities are lavish, but other than the capital they tend to run along the main roads running from country to country.” Cassiopeia explained, as the music for a minuet started. Cassiopeia smiled broadly.
