"Dearest Empress," the man on the left stood up, brushing back strands of thick black hair so he could see her clearly, "We are but ambassadors chosen by the House Gediminas and the House Vyatautas to submit a humble petition to her majesty."
The man on the right straightened as well, though he didn't need to brush back any hair from his shaven head, "We acknowledge the rightful fealty that the Grand Duchy of Voruta owes to the great nation of Isra, but it seems some extenuating circumstances have come to light that only a few parties were aware of at the time of the Union of the Crowns, and they didn't deem to share them with the rest of the parties. Namely, there was assumed no direct heir to the Mindaugas line, but in recent months there came to light a document which states that there was one." The man reached into his breast lapel and pulled out a folded piece of parchment with several seals of approval and signatures of dead lords of Voruta and offered it to Naoki to read over.
The man on the left continued, "And the heir is now present. My Empress, may we present Sir Rudiger Mindaugas."
It took Rudiger a few moments to realize they meant him. It wasn't that he was slow witted, it was just that the name he had known to his core was his had been ripped from him in the past day, and attached was a new and rather unfamiliar one. Coming to his senses he took a step forward and offered another bow to the Empress, but remained silent.

The Empress gestures and a pageboy brings her the paper. She looks at it carefully for a moment before realizing it’s written in Vortuan. She doesn’t understand enough to make any sense of it, but she looks at it for a few moments more and murmurs acknowledgment.
“I see.” Looking up, she assesses this ‘Rudiger Mindaugas.’ Big tall bastard with an eyepatch. A fighting man, it’s not hard to tell. The Empress is beginning to get an idea of what’s going on here.
“You’re the heir, then,” she states, speaking to Rudiger. “By what relation?”

The two men step aside for a moment, both literally and figuratively, to let Rudiger answer Naoki's question. Rudiger straightened himself up from his bow to answer her in his noticeably accent-less voice, "He was... my father. My mother was one of his maids. The High Lords of the realm decided for her sake and the sake of her unborn child... me, they would make me unable to become Duke until the last of the signers died. They married her to a knight of lower rank in an out of the way part of the Duchy and let me grow up thinking I was the son of the knight."

"I am indeed 30 Your Highness. I found out only earlier today Your Highness, when I was tracked down in a tavern by these two gentlemen.

“As you do,” The Empress supposes.
For a moment, she thinks, looking between the three men standing before her, seeing which can meet her gaze.
“Why then,” she begins, setting a critical eye on the ambassadors, “have the two of you - or the houses you represent, gone as far as to dig up this document, seek out Rudiger, and bring the matter to my attention? Presumably, you would see me install him, I can think of no other reason. But what stake do House Gediminas and House Vyatautas have in seeing Rudiger as Duke? Ruling is difficult; the unprepared often crumple under the burden. Why do you think - no offense intended, that Rudiger would be of any value as Duke? Is the current state of affairs unsatisfactory to your Lords? You haven’t even had time to inform them and hear back, why the rush?”

If Naoki thought the two ambassadors would shrink before her withering gaze, she had underestimated their resolve. The bald one stepped forward first, “This document was not ‘dug up’ on purpose your majesty. It was discovered by Lord Erik Vyatautas the Second’s Witch Hunter when they were going through the personal effects of Lord Erik Vyatautas the First upon his passing due to a beast from the woods.”
Then the black haired man stepped forward, “And no, the conditions of rule have not been satisfactory to both parties. The frontier on the Eastern Forest have been awash in flames and blood these past few months, and yet we see no aide from the vaunted Isran Legions. And though a royal road has been built into the heart of Voruta, there has been no significant recovery in the economy. Instead, we are inundated with cheaper Isran goods, which put our local craftsmen out of work. And finally, the Vorutans are a proud people, and wish to have a ruler of their own stock and of the stock of the Heavenly Horsemen, who will guide his people to glory once again. Sir Rudiger has nothing to fear about crumpling beneath the weight of leadership, for he shall have divine blessing.”

“Ah, of course, the divine blessing. How could I forget.” She’s mocking them, but that’s a privilege The Empress has.
“But very well,” she acquiesces, waving one hand dismissively. “I’ll not argue in favor of the provisional governor, as he is exactly that. Vortua would benefit from a strong leader, this is true. If Sir Rudiger can become that leader will remain to be seen, but we will entertain the possibility.”
“The two of you will take this,” At a gesture, a pageboy returns the document to the ambassadors. “And avail yourselves of the amenities offered at The Handmaiden’s Basket until I send for you.”
“And you,” gesturing to Rudiger, “Will come with me, and we will speak. There’s much to speak about.”
Rising from her throne, The Empress gestures for the ambassadors to take their leave and for Rudiger to follow her.

If the pair of ambassadors showed a hint of nervousness as the Empress dismissed them to separate them from their newfound ward, they only showed it with a single glance before the acquiesced themselves with a bow, taking the basket from the page with grace.
Rudiger seemed unsure of himself for another brief moment, not quite sure what do without his guides to the world of courtly politics. Again, a wild beast seemed almost preferable to being alone with The Empress. Not that he was worried for his life or detested her presence, it was more... he knew she had gained the Empressship more than on her rather fair looks.
Still, he obediently followed after the Empress, remaining in silence as she led him Heavenly Horsemen only knew where.

After a long weekend of reunions, revelry, and wild debauchery of all sorts, The Empress returns to The Citadel only because she absolutely must. As she’s been informed, a great many things have stacked up and now demand her attention. Mail to be read, reports to be digested, orders to be given, and visitors to be seen, as well as — of course, all of the things from The Summit that now require following-up-on.
A page boy stands near The Throne with a stack of papers, handing them one by one to The Empress such that they might be read and returned to him. The first of her visitors is due soon, and she intends to get through as much as she can before then. In her hands now is a report from the Eastern Border, detailing how they’ve noticed more “activity” in the forest at night. Whether that signifies anything more than the coming of spring is left for The Empress to interpret.

Physical Description: Koitika stands at a meagre 8” tall, no larger than a typical stuffed toy. Her features are quite rounded and cute as well like a toy- even the small bat wings perched on her back contribute to the illusion. Upon first glance, her pastel golden tresses appear to be very curly and bouncy but upon close inspection, her hair is actually a mass of tentacles. She has a rather impassive face, and isn’t overly expressive except in a few instances. Generally her eyes appear closed, but when opened, her eyes are a rich royal purple with pentagrams over her pupils.
Clothes and Equipment: Koitika prefers to wear cute, rather frilly clothes with accessories such as bonnets, necklaces, bracelets etc. She doesn't like wearing the same thing twice- ever. The only constant to her outfit is her precious stuffed bunny. She brings it everywhere with her.

It is as Naoki finishes the report from the Eastern Border that the diminutive demon poofs into the throne room with her telltale pop! and puff of rose scented and colored smoke. In one hand she totes her adorable stuffed bunny toy, a small maroon bow carefully tied to the toy's fluffy ear that matched her choice in clothing, and in the other hand a carefully rolled parchment rests. Speaking of her dress, again somehow she's produced a completely new outfit from her store of clothes that defied mortal understanding. It was rather simple for her tastes, but for a day that would be spent doing administrative work, it served it's purpose. A lightly maroon dress that flare out at her knees, the bottoms of her bloomers showing slightly, ruffled at the sleeves and a white ruched chest. An ivory engraved broach was affixed to her red bow with Naoki's image impressed upon it. How she had that already prepared it for the day was a mystery, but one she'd likely not solve. Koitika drifted over to her mistress, glancing over the page boy with some amusement as he leans away from her afraid of catching her attention. Fortunately for him she had more important things to do. For now at least. "My mistress, I have brought your schedule of meetings lined up for today. And I must say, seeing as I've taken the liberty to take a peek... some of those on the list could end up being very very interesting." She mused as she took her seat on Naoki's arm rest, setting her toy on her lap as her tentacles took the parchment roll from her hand toying with it idly.

Naoki glances up at the sound of Koitika entering the room before skimming the report once more. Between the fae, the orcs, and all of the common creepy-crawlies, she supposes it’s about time to do a bit of poking to find out conclusively what all lurks in those woods. She makes a mental note to organize something to that end later.
The report is then cast aside, with a gesture for the page to take the rest somewhere else. He’s happy to do so.
Naoki then turns her attention to Koitka and the list she’s brought. “Oh?”
Unsure if she should be excited or apprehensive, she gingerly takes the parchment and scans the names written thereupon. Some she knows, others she does not, but none immediately jump out as double-very interesting. “Why do you say that?”

Koitika smiled as she easily jumped and floated up to Naoki's shoulder, giving her an affectionate nudge on the cheek before continuing. Her eyes scanned over the list before a tentacle extended to name that may appear to be vaguely familiar. Even if all the accent marks made it appear rather frightening. Luckily Koitika pronounced it for her.
"It's mostly just this name here. Miss Nofaló is quite the interesting guest. Mostly because a royal of the Isle of the Mist visiting the reign of the Mainland is something that is simply unheard of. It hasn't happened in... Well, it's never happened. Not in my life time which I assure you is extensive." She mused as her tentacles lazily traced the letters of her name. "I've heard she was of a different make than those before her, but I could never have guessed she'd be this different. It does make me wonder exactly what she wants to discuss with you. I do imagine it wont be anything that the council approves of."

“Is she...?” Coking her head to one side, Naoki remembers having heard the name once before.
“Isn’t that... Rudiger’s friend? Who sat to his left at The Summit, and said that she spoke on behalf of ‘Edan?’” Naoki noticed something about her at the time but wasn’t quite sure what. She didn’t follow up on account of there being more pressing matters, but now it seems like Koitika has some level of familiarity.
“Is she a… 'friend' of yous?” Naoki probes, glancing sidelong at the demon on her shoulder.

Koitika actually tilted her head back and laughed, sounding distinctly like bells chiming and sharp chirps that were almost bird-like. It took her a moment to gather herself as she swiped under her eye, dismissing a nonexistent tear. "Oh, that is funny Mistress. But no. The royals of the Mortal Realm have always been more inclined to our skyward brethren-scorning those of the Nether." She sighed softly rolling her eyes. "You stage one coup centuries ago and they just can't let it go."
She seemed slightly irritated but she merely sighed before looking back at Naoki, the pentagrams in her eyes glowing softly. "The simpler way to put it is, no, we are not 'friends'. I wasn't allowed within 4 meters of her whenever we crossed paths. The last I saw of her was at the first Council meeting that she was brought to when she was young. Also it only makes sense you know the ruling bodies of your home lands even though you haven't been back in an age." She kicked her feet slightly as she hummed along pleasantly as if this were just a simple casual conversation.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Naoki smirks, having intended the humor.
“... Hmmh! Interesting.” She had assumed that Koitika was of Lust’s ilk, but evidently not.
Putting a hand to her chin, Naoki hums in consideration. Miss Nofaló has been disposed against the likes of Koitika; it would likely be for the best if she were not present for the meeting. More questions spring to mind about the political precedents and history of Edan, but if Naoki asks Koitika for that sort of information, she will have that information going into the meeting. It would be difficult not to betray that she does, and Deidra would get the sense that Naoki knows more than she should.
And even though The Empress should be well-informed by spies and the like, knowledge of Edan’s history and politics could only come from someone who was present. It would logically follow that Naoki must have associated with someone who had that sort of information — of which there are likely few. That would raise all manner of red flags were she in Miss Nofaló's position.
But wait. “Did she recognize you at the summit?”

Koitika
Established
Roleplay posts: 39
Age: Unknown
Physical Description: Koitika stands at a meagre 8” tall, no larger than a typical stuffed toy. Her features are quite rounded and cute as well like a toy- even the small bat wings perched on her back contribute to the illusion. Upon first glance, her pastel golden tresses appear to be very curly and bouncy but upon close inspection, her hair is actually a mass of tentacles. She has a rather impassive face, and isn’t overly expressive except in a few instances. Generally her eyes appear closed, but when opened, her eyes are a rich royal purple with pentagrams over her pupils.
Clothes and Equipment: Koitika prefers to wear cute, rather frilly clothes with accessories such as bonnets, necklaces, bracelets etc. She doesn't like wearing the same thing twice- ever. The only constant to her outfit is her precious stuffed bunny. She brings it everywhere with her.

Koitika seemed to think for a moment as she kicked her legs. She answered cautiously after a moment. "I don't believe so. She was quite young. And again we weren't ever near each other. Her familiar may recognize me. But even then that would not mean much. I doubt he'd think to mention it." She gave a minute shrug.
"All I can say is she recognized me as a demon. It is rather difficult for those of Edan's soil to be identified. Even by their fellows."

“Hmmh, I see.” “Seeing as how you’re not associated with any group in Edan, it ought to be a harmless coincidence. That said, I’ll likely consult you for context on whatever her request is. You’ll hear of it either way.” A quick glance around seems to indicate that the throne room has readied itself. Sentinels have lined themselves up on either side of the door, an attendant stands off to one side, and gentle music drifts in from some unseen source. “Send her in – or, have a page do it, if you would.” (Click for music)

"Mother! Mother!" A young woman's voice is heard coming from down the hall along with the clacking of her shoes It was the Empress' daughter who hadn't been home in quite a while. She had only just arrived at Port Silverion earlier in the day. "Oh Mother I just came back from my hunting trip, have you seen our Midnight Sun?! Oh! What happened while I was away? I suppose I don't have a job anymore! I loved that place!"
Skarlet had tears on her face from when she discovered the wreckage of the Midnight sun. When she finally arrived she curtsied to the Empress and her guest then wiped her eyes with one of those fancy handkerchiefs. Though she had been running for quite a while she showed little to no fatigue.

“Skarlet!” Rising from her throne, The Empress excuses herself to go wrap Skarlet in a great big hug.
“It’s good to see you!” Stepping back, Naoki looks her up and down. “And in one piece, even.”
However, her expression darkens at the mention of The Midnight Sun. There's a long pause before she responds. “... I have.”
Gesturing for Skarlet to follow, Naoki starts back toward the throne. “I suppose, yes, your job as a member of the waitstaff... no longer exists. If you really wanted to, you could do something similar at The Eclipse.”
“It will be okay,” she adds, consoling herself as much as Skarlet. “We can – we will rebuild. I’m just glad you weren't inside. How was the voyage?” An unsubtle attempt to change the topic.
