(Collaboration between SonOfALich and Ascendant) [b]The Toubres Empire, Amzores[/b] King Avandre VII Gustere took a slow, deep breath as he read the final paperwork that would preface the announcement of their marriage, “So, my dear, what say you of this prenuptial agreement? I believe that’s everything that concerned you.” De Gamos was not far away now, peering over at the two and the clerk that was writing the document from time to time before returning his attention back out through a window to the city beyond. Vicenti Queiros had also joined the newly engaged couple in the modest chamber, and he stood watching the two of them with a wry smile on his face. The Empress glanced at him for a brief moment, before she turned back to the document. Eyes scanning the carefully written words, she nodded slowly. “I couldn’t agree more. Now we are only left with where to marry, and who to invite. Might I suggest the Palace, here in Toubres as a suitable location?” She turned back to her fiance, raising an eyebrow slightly as she watched his face. Leaning back in his seat whilst clasping his chin, Avandre hummed to himself while mentally creating a list of names and nations, “I believe it would be a good idea to invite the leaders of the other Great Powers, and probably our important neighbors such as Marlanos. As for where to marry, well,” the man smiled and motioned all about himself, “Amzores seems the ideal location! Toubres is quite the power, and marrying here might help cement our union in your people’s mind. Afterwards, we could visit Illesia as well, so my poor people do not miss too much.” “I’m glad we agree. May I then suggest that we invite Empress Susanette de Jaloie of Tara, Emperor Adalar von Wolfram of Tyria, Queen Athena Tyroli of Itherae, Pope Carlo Bocci of Vigentino, and the esteemed ruler of Marlanos to the Imperial Palace of Amzores for our marriage, three months from today.” King Avandre nodded in agreement as he signed the paper, “I look forward to it!” “As do I.” With a flick of her wrist, the Empress of Toubres signed the paper.
