OOC: I hope the Inquisition gave her one nasty Inquisition lol!

IC: I again re-iterate my demands for General Poole to show me the Royal Family alive and well. If this does not occur within (OOC: 24hours), I will authorize the deployment of 10,000 Catholic European troops to the New Harumfian capital.

A skeleton of Scythirus' presence remained in New Harumf. While a majority of its forces were returning to Dar es Salaam to disembark to their homeland of Scythirus, a tenth of occupying armies remained to aid General Poole in stabilizing the country. The Scythirian declaration of victory had been most ambiguous, as many nations still believed the Royal Family to be alive. So far the true purpose of the invasion had not been discovered.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Jet of Scythirus' Emperor had just arrived in Zolony as the events of the previous day came to a close.

The Kasnyians inside Dodoma had become nearly insane in bloodlust...they did not wish to budge from the city until they heard of the Royal Family.

General Poole Appeared on television:

"People of New Harumf. It is with upmost grief to inform you that the Royal Family has been wiped out in a genocide performed by the Scythiran Nation, in retaliation for earlier afronts against them. Lord Protector Walter is dead, as is his wife and child. Prince Cranmer cannot be accounted for, and is assumed dead. All of the lesser royal families have been killed. This is truly a sad day.

In the interest of stability for the nation, I, Supreme Commander of the New Harumfian Military, am taking control of the reigns of government, to return stability after this bloodbath. I have sued with Sythirus for a peace, and with Zolony. Flumes is in retreat. I ask all our allies to please leave the field of battle so our country can return to its peaceful ways.

I am declaring Marshal Law within the country until our infrastructure can be restored. I am also removing all power from the church until such time as a true leader of royal blood can be returned to the throne.

In the days to come, we will move toward a democratic form of government until such time as the monarchy can be re-established.

I want to thank all of our countrymen who gave so much in the battle, and want to ask all citizens to pray for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice of blood and loyalty. May God once again bless our motherland."

Highly Confidential and Private

To: General Poole
From: His Holiness, Pope Pius XIV

General Poole, your lies and evasion of the truth has done nothing to warm me to you. You have deliberately kept the death of the Royal Family from me and I wonder why indeed. Instead of telling me the truth, your only line of conversation with me has been to get Prince Romulus into your hands. This, I will not allow to happen.

The New Harumfian Royal Family is my very own family, I share the blood of that glorious House. Thus, now that the only legitimate heir left is a 14 year old boy, I, as a member of that House, of that Blood, will assume Protector status over New Harumf. You will not be taking any reigns of control of the government. Infact, your sly ways, so far, have made me distrust you immensly and thus I would suggest you retire to the countryside.

Now, I will make this announcement public within the day. I will, to represent me, send over John Cardinal Murphy as the protector of New Harumf until Prince Romulus turns 18 and is crowned by myself as King of New Harumf. I am also expanding the contingent of troops that I am sending to New Harumf from 10,000 to 25,000.

I suggest, Poole, that you do not continue with any more of your tricks or sly ways. To do so would be very unwise indeed/

I think that sums it up, from Poole's announcement.

IC: Poole's internal monologue: "What to do. What to do. If the Pope sends this meddling priest to act as protector, I cannot just kill him, the people will go mad. But how can I keep him off the throne and out of my hair? I must find some way to decieve him. Let him act as protector, but make sure he has no authority, no power. I have the military, damn it! How can the Pope presume to take over? I CREATED THE PEACE! I SAVED THE COUNTRY! I should recieve a victory parade in the streets of Genesis City, not be treated like some 2-bit petty potentate!

"I'll think of something, but I must act fast."

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Despite what General Poole has said, he will not be taking control of the nation of New Harumf. The massacre of the Royal Family, of my own family, is extremely sad and depressing news to hear, but so be Gods will.

Thus, because they are off my own blood, and I off theirs, New Harumf will come under my protection. I have installed myself as Protector of New Harumf until Prince Romulus comes of age and is crowned King. Prince Romulus will stay here, in Genesis City, until such that day.

I will send, to represent me in New Harumf, John Cardinal Murphy who will rule New Harumf. He will be escorted by 25,000 Catholic European troops. We will bring peace to New Harumf and rebuild the nation. May the Blessed Virgin reign down her love onto the New Harumfian people.

The Kasnyian Government in Ziyer asks for forgiveness for being unable to fufill it's mission in protecting the Blood Royale. We hope direct rule of the Papacy can clean up the lands of New Harumf.

No, I don't. Everything I stated in the public announcement was stated before in a private telegram to General Poole. Please ask New Harumf if he has any problems with this. I stated in the private telegram that I was sending troops, before General Poole mentionned anything about his troops.

To be honest you are really starting to get on my fucking nerves. Piss off.

I have no need to respond to it. The Pope has said that the death of the family was sad etc but he didn't blame anyone. Instead he is moving on. He sees a political chance with their death.

With the Scythirians leaving New Hamuf, the North Flordian leigonaires also had begun to leave the nation.

These men had seen hell, their faces where sullen then when they arrived, their eyes had sunken into black pits. Laughter was gone from the ranks, emotions had died with their friends. The sailors had also had their own slice of hell, many of them crippled by flying shrapnel, and they carried out their duties with grim determination.

In the furture these men would provide a backbone of strength for the Flordian leigons.

General Poole:

Scythirus is considering in aiding you against the armies of Catholic Europe. You have been a loyal ally of ours in this war and mean to support you as much as you supported us. We will keep 40,000 men within your borders to aid against assault. Also, as you know, we currently have control of Socotra and thus have formed an effecient blockade of the Red Sea. We also have the island of Bouvet under our control to hinder any attempt of passage from the Atlantic. You will retain your control over New Harumf... we will see to it.

Your friend,
General Rassi Rautha

As much as we appreciate your offer, we have nothing to fear from our brothers in Catholic Europe. We would prefer your complete withdraw from New Harumf. Your foreign outposts are none of our business, but we request you do not interfere with the Catholic European contingenct that is coming to help maintain our government. We welcome, with open arms, and open hearts, the support of the Holy Father. We, as good, true Catholics have nothing to fear. Again, thank you for your friendship and support.

General Mariam Poole

(Secret Message to General Rassi Rautha)

Let them through. We will deal with them. We remain your allies. Do not doubt that.

OOC: CE's announcement was a reaction to General Poole's public declaration, and in no way was influenced by Poole's internal monolouge.

OOC: Thankyou New Harumf. And you see Kasnyia....

IC: The troops had set off and left Catholic Europe. Most of them were on their way but some 500 troops had already arrived in New Harumf with John Cardinal Murphy.

The Cardinal walked into the Royal Palace and was greeted by General Poole.

"Your Emminence" said General Poole rather sarcastically before bowing his head ever so dramatically before the Cardinal.

"Your welcome is most humble, General. One would not think you are a General but a mere peasant girl off the street." the Cardinal replied, clearly not impressed with the General.

"But, of course Your Emminence. I am but a mere peasant in front of such a wise and holy and esteemed man as yourself, indeed even more so for you are the representative of His Holiness in New Harumf" the General replied, slightly sniggering to himself.

The Cardinal ignored this and then spoke.

"Take me to the bodies of the royal family. I am to perform their funeral immediately and then, when my troops arrive, I will begin the business of the state."

Poole had anticipated this request, and simply looked at an aide by the rear door. He opened the door, and several coffins were rolled into the hall. Poole nodded again, and all the lids were opened.

The cardinal approached the first coffin, and quickly turned away with his hand over his nose.

"That would be the Lord Protector's wife, your emminence," said Poole, calmly, but with a hint of a laugh in his voice. "You will have to forgive that scent of roasted pig, but we haven't figured out a way to remove it. You will notice, of course, how all the fingers are gone. They burned completely, butthere is actually a bit of skin still....."

"Shut up, you fool!" shouted the Cardinal. "This is a disgrace. Are all the bodies in this condition?"

"Oh, no. Some are much worse. We've three or four we cannot even identify at all, but based on the jewelry, we are fairly sure they were royals."

"And what of Walter? Where is he?"

"There, your Emminence." and Poole pointed to a particularly small box in the back. "He is pretty much just some ash sweepings. We got most of him."

"And the child?"

"Never found, your Emminence. His room was so badly burned we could not identify the ashes of his toys from the ashes of his body."

John Cardinal Murphy shook his head. "This is appalling......"

"Oh," said Poole, suddenly remembering, "we did find the lad's little ring!" He fishes around and pulls a ring out of his pocket. "Here." He tosses it lightly to the Cardinal, who makes no attempt to catch it, and lets it fall to the ground.

"Your disrespect is herasy, General," said Murphy, in a very angry voice, his Irish accent beginning to show. "Now, pick that ring up, and put it with the rest of the remains!"

"I think not, Cardinal Murphy."

"I said, PICK IT UP."

"I said, I think not."

"You will pick up that ring, or pay the consequences!"

Both men stood almost nose to nose, even though the Cardinal was almost a foot taller than the General. They glared at each other, neither budging. After what seemed an eternity, the Cardinal clapped his hands, and his escorts shouldered their rifles and aimed them at Poole. In the same instant, Poole removed his side-arm and pointed it directly between the Cardinal's eyes. Also, all of the New Harumfian guards pointed their rifles at the Catholic European soldiers. "I think not," said Poole, breaking the silence.

The Cardinal stood his ground. He just stared at Poole, and the barrel of his pistol. He then turned on his heels, and stormed out of the room, yelling, "Bring those remains to the cathedral."

His men unshouldered their weapons, and began wheeling the coffins out of the room after John Cardinal Murphy.

Poole holstered his gun and laughed. "Stupid Mick!" He then bent down, picked up the ring, and returned it to his pocket.

"Round one, gentlemen," he announced to his men. "But this will be a fifteen rounder."

The Imperatriz did not hear the news until after the Wedding at Carthage. She was in her private jet, quietly sipping tea, her knitting neglected for the moment, watching two of her children sleep. She couldn't imagine what she would do if anything happened to them. Without warning, the Praetorian guard that was flying with them came back from the cockpit where the pilot had called him up. Looking at his face, Atalanta could tell he bore bad news. The man quietly walked up to the Empress and reported the news, in a grim, solemn voice.

"Your Majesty, we have just received a communication from John Cardinal Murphy, in New Harumf. It...it appears as if Queen Lucia was...killed, in the attack..."

The Imperatriz did not answer the man. All expression flooded out of her face. The delicate tea cup slipped from her hands and fell to the hardwood floor, where it shattered. It was brown tea that ran in rivulets over the polished surface, but to Atalanta, it might as well have been red blood... the blood of her daughter.

"Get me Legate Sartorus." she asked the guard calmly and quietly, as if she didn't want to wake the children. Seeing that her face had been drained of all colour and her eye was twitching slightly, the guard felt compelled to ask his mistress if she was Okay, but decided against it. He knew what a mistake that might be. He hustled to the cockpit and grabbed an airfone. He quickly got the Legate Principalis of Legionary Command on the line, and handed it to the Empress.

May I help you, Your Majesty?

"Yes, General. Tell me, what is the status of the Combat Legions?"

Except for the Harumfian and Texeradan Expeditionary Forces, they are all inactive, Your Majesty.

"Call them up. Call them all up."

All, Your Majesty? That's over six million...

"All, General!" she snapped. "And get me any of the Reserves that we don't absolutely need defending the borders. And the entire Air Force, Navy, and Armoured. Also, call up all the Special Forces."

May I ask why we need so many soldiers, Your Majesty? the Legate pleaded.

"To invade Scythirus! Now do it!" She demanded imperiously...
