Her Royal Highness the Arch-Duchess Johanna Hansen of Austlenburg,

We have long known that your daughter Alissa and my youngest son Patrick would be married, and now it is time for them to meet, so that the two of them can be properly acquainted by the time they are married in the summer. We would like to request that Patrick be able to visit the Arch-Duchy of Austlenburg, to better know of the land he will be living in, as well as to meet the people he will be ruling, so that the future transition will be most pleasant.

Please feel free to respond with any plans and particulars that Patrick would need to understand.

King Patrick V Gerene
The Kingdom of Anndover
Florinthus & Galeae

TO: King Patrick V Gerene of Anndover
FR: Arch-Duchess Johanna Hansen of Äustlenburg

It has been awhile since last wrote to each other King Patrick, it would do good for you to visit Austlenburg once again, as I have not seen you in ages old friend. Nonetheless, this is about our two children, Alissa has been informed of this arrangement at the age of eleven, and as been curious about Patrick ever since.

So I have problem with Patrick visiting, anytime within the coming week is fine. Please inform Patrick that he shall be having a meal with me and his future family upon his arrival.

Archduchess Johanna Hansen
The Archduchy of Äustlenburg



Ølsanburg, Äustlenburg
Archducal Palace

March, 6 th, 315 RE

"Sit down Alissa" said a voice.

Alissa slowed, her steps coming to complete stop. She had been pacing the room for a few moments now, her thoughts drifting towards their impending guest. When her mother told her that Patrick was visiting, she became immediately excited.

That was one weel ago, now with his arrival soon upon them her mind had started drifting. Who he like me ? Will he think I'm pretty? etc. She turned around to see her mother staring back at her.

"Pacing up and down this room will change anything, now please sit." spoke Johanna a little louder

Alissa then heard snickers, she turned back around sharply to glare at her two brothers who had just entered the room.

"Yeah Alissa," began Alfons "won't change a thing."

"Shut up." Alissa replied tersely

She then proceeded to join her mother at the table, her two brothers trailing behind her. They sat that way for more minutes, small talk happening between them when a servant entered the room.

"Your guest has arrived your Highness." the servant spoke.

Johanna nodded "Send him in please."

Patrick walked into the room in his usual brisk style. He was tall, with broad shoulders for his thin frame, though he wasn't scrawny. His brown hair was in a neat-but-messy style atop his head, and he was wearing a simple sweater over a collered shirt, he ha always been of a simpler style when it came to his wardrobe.

He bowed low before the Arch-Duchess. "Your highness," he looked to Alissa, catching her eye for a moment, "milady," then, he looked away, too soon for his liking.

"Charmed as always. I haven't visited Austlenburg since I was a boy. Everything is as lovely as I remember." He said, smiling towards Alissa, only barely trying to be discreet. That earned him a stern look from the Duchess, at which he looked at the floor, trying his best to hide the grin that he knew was showing.

"It is good to see you Patrick, you always were the one with the sense of humor, weren't you?" The Arch-Duchess said. "Now, Alissa, step out from behind me and introduce yourself to our guest - your guest."

"Yes mother," spoke Alissa, as she emerge from the back of her mother. She curtsied slightly in front of him with her head bowed slightly "Your highness." she said as she curtsied. As she came back up, she looked at his face, which in her own regards was handsome. 'H has change since the last time we met, looks like you picked well mother' she thought happily.

"It is a pleasure to see you again Patrick, it has been such a long time since we last met." she gestured to her two younger brothers with a slight smile on her face. "These are brothers, Alfons and Valther, I hope you remember them." They both waved slightly when their names were spoken.

"Please join us at the table."

Patrick took his seat, which, being the guest, was at the head of the table, opposite the Duchess. He was flanked by Alfons and Alissa, which pleased him. He had always liked Alfons most out of the two boys, possibly because he was closer to Patrick's age, although not by much.

As various trays were carried out of a side door, Patrick spoke up. "Your highness, my father the King sends his regards, and regrets being unable to accompany me on this trip. He has been tied up with some rather troublesome bureaucratic mistakes in the Kingdom that needed fixing. From what I've seen, he would have really enjoyed the vacation, as he's been busy for some time now. Alas, I was able to come, and I for one am grateful for that."

Johanna nodded at Patrick's words "Why it is unfortunate that your father couldn't make it, matters concerning ones state come first, and it is completely understandable." she sighed slightly "Though your father could have done with the vacation, he has been working hard lately I have heard." she glanced at Alissa, who nodded understanding the unsaid message.

Alissa put on a smile on her face before facing Patrick. "At least you were able to make it Patrick." she put her hand in his that was hanging by his side. Alfons noticed, but decided to keep his mouth shut or face the wrath of his sister later.

"So Patrick, what have you been doing ever since you left all those years ago ?" questioned Alissa

Patrick smirked slyly when he felt Alissa's hand.

"That is a good question actually." Patrick cleared his throat before continuing. "Though the answer is rather boring. I've been working in the Kingdom's Ministry if Civic's and Transportation. I've been working in conjunction with the Confederation's Office of Civic Administration to connect Anndover to the rest of the Florinthian Confederation. It's been mostly boring, let me tell you. Mostly maintenance of the existing traffic lines, making them more efficient and automated. We tore down a lot of the old interstate roads and built tollways to minimize travel times and turn a profit."

"The highlight of my tenure was when I was part of a team that pushed a program to build a high speed magnet train across the Confederation through the Alumary, and it hasn't even been built yet; it's not even scheduled to start until sometime late this year."

"The plan, and this is all quite theoretical right now, is that once the train is built, we would convince our neighbors to build similar lines in their nations, to connect the entire region. That's not scheduled until mid-316."

Alissa blushed slightly at the smirk, before losing the blush altogether. She then heard Alfons speak in what he thought was a low voice "That is boring." Alissa frowned, before raising her slightly under the table and bringing down hard on her brother's foot. Alfons jerked forward from the stomp by his sister, causing his mother to question him.

"Alfons, are you alright ?" asked Johanna. Alfons stared at his mother than at Alissa and Patrick, who both were giving him different looks. Alissa was given him one of her death glares that promised him pain if he told her the truth, and Patrick just had an amused look on his face. He turn back to his mother and answered.

"Everything is alright mother, I just hit my knee on the table" he said a little weakly. Johanna stared honestly not believing his response, but decided to let it slide. "Well, please be a little more conservative with your reaction next time if it happens again." she turned her face towards Alissa and Patrick, indicating for them to continue the conversation.

"Anyways," began Alissa "I think it wonderful what you are doing Patrick, Infrastructure is a very important part of a countries future. I my self have also been busy since I last saw you; I am current my in my last year of university completing my major on Political Science." she smiled softly "One does have to prepare themselves for ruling a nation."

Patrick nodded, pleased at his future-bride's competence. "Good, very good. Education in politics is key for leadership. My brother Dominik received all of those blessings, being the first born. I received my education from the University of Tarleton, and i dabbled in politics, though I focused my education in the realms of organizational leadership and urban planning, and that has suited me thus far."

He turned, "Alfons, you are of age, no? Are you attending university?"

Alfons perked up slightly when Patrick called his name, he straightened himself slightly, he could still feel his foot throbbing from where is sister stepped on it harshly. After the throbbing eased off a bit Alfons turned to Patrick and answered.

"Yes, I turned 18 last October." he sighed slightly "At present I am not attending University, though I do have my eyes on Aetinheim University Geography Program, it said to be one of the best in the region and do like Geography alot. So if anything, in the near future I would most likely be studying there."

"I do believe I've heard the same of Aetinheim. It's a good school. You woul e doing well in going there. All this talk of schooling is rather boring though, isn't it? What is there to pass the time in Austlenburg, because I don't know if running about the grounds wil be quite as fun as it was in our youth."

Alfons smirked, this question was right up his alley "Olsanburg does become lively at night, over the years many new establishments have opened mostly catering to the need of those who looking for a fun night with, meet new people and have a blast while doing it." He coughed slightly when his mothers gaze fell on him "Though I have never experienced this myself hand." he finished quickly

"Of course Alfons. It's only natural that you would hear of these things. The nobility should understand the lives of their constituents." His sarcasm was only faintly noticeable. "Naturally, I don't need to meet anyone new, but it might be fun to go out. I'm not much of a dancer, but I'm a fair hand at billiards."

Johanna stared at Alfons sharply after he finished speaking, it seemed her eldest son had been having some unsupervised fun under her nose. She turned to Patrick as he spoke, noting both the slight jab at Alfons and the attempt to save him from his blunder.

"Well then," Johanna began "Alissa, I beleive you and Patrick can leave as of now. You mau show him around the city and perhaps show him a place where he can play a game of billiards." She watched as Alissa nodded, and rose from her seat, Patrick following suit.

She turned her head to Valther who had been quiet throughout the entire meeting, dismissing him with the nod her her head. He soon exited and only two occupants were left in the room. She gave Alfons a very hard stare before speaking.

"Would you care to explain my son."

Alfons could only stare.

Patrick winced as he walked out the door with Alissa. He knew the sting of a good rebuke all too well, and he wished his cover had worked more successfully.

He was knocked out of it when he felt Alissa grabbing his arm and linking it with hers. He certainly didn't expect that.

"So soon?" He said with a hint of mischief. "We aren't even out of the castle yet."

Alissa smiled innocently, seemingly ignoring his comment, though she did blush slightly. She did that often.

"Well then. Where are we too first? We don't have to go to a pool hall. They don't take well to pretty women."
