"Alright, brief me once more." Asked High Paladin Raquelle Valotton, as she ran in her treadmill.

"The Knightisian chair now moves to Hammerstar once more, making you the leading chair. The Energy Council requests an additional 300 million platinums to build another nuclear reactor. While Rector Dietrich requests aid to research man-made leaves for the Lux Universus."

"What else?" Beeps were heard, increasing the speed of the treadmill.

"Today you have a meeting with the Roewian ambassador for the new silver pine leaves, and the permit to build the communist settlement of Hammerstar. What's more the Miana Stock Exchange wants to sign another twenty additional companies allotments for the stock market, and the insurance system for the Luctora needs your signature."

The treadmill slowed down, and Raquelle jumped out of the treadmill. Her feet still active, she moved around the room before moving to her paladin.

"Alright. Ensure that I did all of it on the flight." Responded Raquelle.

"The flight?"

"I'm heading to Lian."

"I beg your pardon?"

"And please bring tell Michelle to bring my dress from my loft. The one I placed on the sofa. Also, please have Suzy meet us."

"Us?"

"Yes, us." Said High Paladin Valotton, "I know I've told the tyblesium that it is unnecessary for us to attend the festival, however my duties are, as the leading chair as well as instructions from Caitlin require me to attend the proceedings."

"I believe I've not made this clear to you enough, Raquelle."

"And I know perfectly well what you've done, and why Amelia and Dietrich ran the bilateral relations between Huawan and Hammerstar to the very ground. I am also aware of the typhoon of excrement all of you have given to me to handle the crisis between the two states. Princess Shizuka."

Shizuka looked at her High Paladin, noting that Raquelle rarely becomes so austere.

"But.."

"High Paladin Shizuka, you are the Paladin of International Relations for the Anarcho-Pacifist Technocracy of Hammerstar. You are in obligation to attend matters of foreign affairs with me, and follow my instructions. Now you are to attend the spring festival, and you are to attend with your husband." Said Raquelle, as she stepped in front of Shizuka, "my secretary is available for your usage, do I make myself clear?"

"......"

"You are free to relieve your position in response to this."

"......I don't have a choice."

"Incorrect, you have choices, just this is the only one where I would not bring you down." Said Raquelle, "I'll meet you in the jet, and if you wish to hide yourself in front of your sister, wear my steamlanndian goggles."

The Peony wondered around the party after her brief discussion with Gianluca, she met with the other dignitaries of the party. Wondering who else is going to enter through that door.
