ARCHIVED: International Distaste Over Queen Liesl II Visting Golfia

Queen Liesl II glanced at her publicist skeptically as she took a seat in Liesl's lavish study. "The people can't be all that wound up over a social visit to Golfia, can they?"

Ingrid Brunner, Liesl II's personal publicist and adviser sighed. "This is the general populace we're talking about. Not everyone's as logical as we'd like them to be."

"I hope Golfia's people are being more sensible. Are they, Ingrid?" Liesl II drummed her fingertips upon her mahogany desk, glancing from Ingrid to the hallway outside of her study, in which a portrait of the Grand Duke hung.

"According to the Salisburgh Sentinel," Ingrid explained, producing a copy of that morning's newspaper, "They're just as angered. Apparently, they see the idea of your visit as an 'abomination and contrary to Golfia's beliefs,' et cetera. Of course, you can't please everybody, but this is beyond that."

"Yes, yes, I know," The monarch said, rubbing her antique pearls. "But don't I have the right to live a life that isn't solely dedicated to the people of Lausse?"

"Liesl Ardinger II!" Ingrid, who was fifteen years the monarch's senior, angrily snapped. "Just because you're nineteen years old doesn't mean you can reject the duties that being Queen demands of you! If you made those remarks public... Needless to say, Ardinger Castle would go down in flames in a matter of hours!"

"I know! It's just that I'd like to speak with him..." Liesl trailed off, gesturing towards the Grand Duke's portrait.

"M'lady," Ingrid began, acknowledging that Liesl was her superior, "It would be for the best to abandon all thoughts of him - you know that Lausse wants you to marry some native noble... Preferably a businessman... or his son."

"We must not speak of marriage," replied Liesl. "I haven't seen him since my coronation ceremony, which was three years ago. He simply said that he invites me to visit for a week for social purposes."

"It would be much simpler if Golfia was as close as, say, Malvad. But it's so far away..." Ingrid sighed.

"Just be glad that I'm staying within the region, will you?"

"Yes, m'lady. Should I start looking at airfare and such? Would you like to contact Annelise?"

"Of course - tell my sister and the Laussis that I'm leaving on diplomatic grounds - neither she nor they wouldn't approve of a social visit..."

Ingrid rose. "On it."
A few weeks after Queen Liesl II's conversation with her publicist, she was preparing to board her flight to Golfia. Of course, her primary reason for visiting was to see the Grand Duke, but she had, of course, convinced the Laussi people that she was visiting on diplomatic grounds - Golfia and the rest of the regional community, however, were likely to know exactly what was going on.

Liesl sighed, pulled her red trenchcoat tight around herself, and curtsied to the guards that escorted her onto the runway and towards the Ardingers' private jet. Thank God this is private, thought Liesl as she boarded the jet. Ingrid and Annelise, Liesl's younger sister, watched as the jet took off. The young queen looked out of her window as Nonnberg International Airport and the surrounding city shrank in size before falling asleep.
Brigitta Johansen, Prime Minister of Lausse, stared out of her bedroom's window. "You know... I have a feeling the Queen isn't on just a diplomatic trip," she told her long-haired cat while stroking its fur. "I could be wrong, though... But just think of all the things that could be done to her! She could be ridiculed in Golfia, shot down by some jealous monarchy's air force, condemned abroad... And what is she saying about Lausse? I'd better come up with some sort of statement that combats this... Whatever it is."
Brigitta Johansen on Queen Liesl II's visit to Golfia::
Frankly, Parliament and I do not approve of Queen Liesl II's visit to Golfia, more specifically, their Grand Duke. We believe that our monarch should not be engaging in such exclusive relations with the Great Duke and find it appalling that she would leave without consulting her Parliament or cabinet - nobody knew of her specific travel plans prior to Miss Ingrid Brunner's [her publicist] public statement. Lausse does not support Queen Liesl II's so-called "diplomatic" visit to Golfia. Until further notice, the Laussi government has condemned Queen Liesl II - as of now, the Laussi Parliament has passed an emergency act that strips Liesl of her powers as Queen. Annelise Ardinger is now the interim head of state until Queen Liesl's return, upon which her trial will begin.

The Royal House, The Federal Council and The Federal Assembly of Golfia and I Grand Duke Galvestan XVI are deeply shocked about the judgment call made by Laussi Government! All of us condemn this decision done due to idiotic, nonsense reasons made by the Kingdom of Lausse of just disposing the rightful heir to the throne, Liesl Ardinger II without the Public's consent at all!!! The Government of Golfia has decided to impose trade embargos and are deploying the latest technology of Military forces near Lausse Borders in support of beloved Liesl Ardinger II!!! We request aid by TNP forces to aid our cause and restoring order and clearing out this madness in the Kingdom of Lausse! :mad:

Grand Duke: I'm deeply sorry about the situation going on in Lausse, dear Queen! Rest assured, the Golfian government is doing everything they can to solve this issue as quickly as possible, and I sincerely hope that the TNP and possibly the WA will assist us! As long as this madness is continuing, my nation welcomes you with opens arms! We'll take care and serve you the finest of the finest to ensure your prosperity! Perhaps you can follow me to my office and we can talk about what our kingdoms have in common, as I knew your father! A great man he was! I'll shall tell you more about the Wars of Marius Imperator, the days when our kingdoms fought and had their last stand together as our finest forces died for our great nations, before suffering under his hands for more than 17 yrs!!! Come, my child and meet the rest of the clan (hehehe :)
 
In the Meanwhile of deploying troops near Lausse Borders and issuing embargos, the Government of Golfia has decided first to solve the issue by peaceful means, in a more diplomatic tone!
 
OOC: Technically, Lausse is an island and has no borders with other nations.
"According to the Salisburgh Sentinel, the streets are ridden with protestors." Minister Johansen's secretary came in with a copy of the Sunday newspaper.

"Do you really need to look at that to figure out there are protests?" Brigitta's gaze was fixated on the protesters outside of the Capitol's window, some of which had flown in from Golfia. "In all honesty, I'm starting to regret passing that Act... After all, Liesl could be attempting to annex Golfia or something like that..."

"Highly unlikely," her secretary responded. "She and the Duke are quite close... it's been rumored that their relationship is quite physical."

"Those are both extremes that I'm not going to believe. Of course it's a naive hope that Liesl's doing anything that will benefit Lausse, but I don't think they've spent all that much time alone. Either way, it's time to dilute that Act." Brigitta turned from the window to face her secretary.

"Now that I would agree with. So would Annemarie and Parliament."
After arriving in Golfia and receiving a surprisingly warm welcome from the Golfian people, Liesl soon received the news that she was no longer queen. After receiving the news while staying in the capital's nicest hotel, she wept for days and didn't allow anyone, not even the Grand Duke, to visit her. After she had finished grieving, she sent the following to the Grand Duke prior to leaving for Lausse via her private jet:
Liesl Ardinger II's note to the Grand Duke of Golfia::
Dear Galvestan,

Please excuse the improper nature of this letter. First, I will begin with the most embarrassing information that I must disclose in this letter - I think I'm in love with you. However, because my trial in Lausse awaits, I must leave as soon as time allows and pray that the courts will show mercy. On the other hand, instead of going back to Lausse, I could become your Grand Duchess (provided that you'd welcome that proposition), and move to Golfia... except, I do not want to become a criminal within my homeland. At the same time, I want to spend the rest of my time around you, or, if that will not work out, somewhere where I am under your rule. For now, I will return to Lausse, but I promise I will contact you again.

Yours Truly,
Liesl​

OCC: The Golfian can send their navy surrounding the Island

Grand Duke Galvestan XVI having a meeting with the Federal Council + Federal Chouncillor in the Grand Hall in the Palace of Altdorf:

"So, has the honored Federal Council of Golfia any updates concerning this issue between the state of Lausse and Queen Liesl II?" Duke Galvestan sitting nervously in his comfly, little chair.

"My royal highness, there's nothing we can do I'm afraid, we...." President of the Federal Council Marya Wojciehowska suddenly interrupted by GD.

"What THE H@LL YOU MEAN WE CAN'T DO A SH@IT?!?!? DON'T YOU REALIZE WHAT THE LAUSSE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE? THEY'VE JUST DETRHONED QUEEN LIESL JUST LIKE, INSTALLING HER YOUNGER SISTER INSTEAD AND ANNOUNCED HER AS A F@CKING TRAITOR, FOR SIMPLY PAYING AN OLD GOAT TO GRAND DUKE A NICE VISIT SINCE I HAVEN'T SEEN HER AS A BABY FOR MANY YEARS, EVER SINCE HER POOR FATHER'S DEATH IN THE HANDS OF THAT ANTI-MONARCHY ASSASSIN!!! I'VE....." GD suddenly interrupted by Federal Chouncillor Petra Schwarzenbach.

"MY GOOD SIR, CALM YOURSELF AND SIT DOWN NOW! Listen, it's not that easy as it looks. We've tried engaging those Lausse puppets with fruitlesss diplomatic talks, asking the TNP for help but no they said that it doesn't concern them and even blocked the whole frickin island with the ever best navy. But alas, after many hours of pondering, we've decided to give up. There's nothing we can do, and if you think an invasion will solve the problem, nope it won't it will just make everything worse and the people of Luasse will suffer even more. You don't want that, eh? As we speak, we apologise that that's the best we can do!" Federal Councillor hands GD Queen Liesl's note. "Come my honored members, let's leave him in peace for a moment, shall we?" The Federal Council leaves.

GD reads the note, "Oh GOD, NO WHY LIESL, WHY?!? DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!!!" Cries hysterically...Suddenly:
"FEDERAL COUNCIL, GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW"!!! They go in into the room

"Yes, our majesty?" The Federal council.

"Has she bordered the plane to Lausse yet?" GD asking shakingly.

"Yes, and the plane is heading now to its destination, me Lord" Petra Schwarzenbach said in a sorrowful tone.

"Can you please send some fighter planes to escort the private jet back to Golfia, NOW!?"

"But Me Lord, as We said, we ca....."

"PLEASE, WE CAN GIVE HER PROTECTION AND A SANCTURARY HERE, RIGHT HERE IN GOLFIA"!!!! JUST DO AS I SAY, TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!!!!!" According to international law, we have the right to give her that in case of extreme emergencies such as unjustified, pathetic coups such as this" PLEASE!!!" GD weeping.

"Yes, you're right! We have the right to do so" Alright, I'll order the General escort her plane back to Golfia and give her protection while we once again discuss with PM Birgitta Johansen and her collegues. We'll promise that the witch and her accomplices will stand for her hidieous crimes as we speak"!!! President of the Federal Council Marya Wojciehowska said in a powerful and hopeful tone.

"THANK YOU, HONORED COUNCIL, THANK YOU. I feel, my friends, that there is hope after all to end this madness one and for all" :D
GD in a more happier tone
 
Liesl laughed manically as she sipped at her tea on her flight. "He probably thinks I love him," she murmured to herself. "Then again, so does everyone else... I suppose those three years of drama classes were worth it."

As she prepared to nap for the remainder of her final leg, the emergency lights flashed. "Incoming attack!" the pilot yelled via loudspeaker. "Liesl, get your parachute and get out!"

While she prepared to leap out of the plane and land somewhere near the Dett Drawbridge, she quickly glanced at the attacker's plane - it was Golfian... and it had done nothing, minus flying only three yards away from the jet. Oh well, the pilot knew what he was doing.

Closing her eyes, Liesl leaped into the relative safety of Nonnberg, Lausse.
 
WAIIT? WHAT?! HOW?!....WHAT THE H@LL IS THE MEANING OF ALL THIS?!?!? SHE JUMPED OUT OF HER F@CKING PLANE INTO NONNBERG?!?! WHY?!?!? DOES SHE WANT TO GET PERSECUTED OR WHAT?!? GD wanted an answer immeadiately.

Well, ehhhhhh, the thing is me lord, please don't lash out and listen, is that she mindf@cked you basically an.....Federal Coucillor member

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, YOU'RE LYING YOU THIVES, SCOUNDRELS, TRAITORS, PEASANTS, YOU'VE PROBABLY SHOT DOWN THE PLANE A.........

NOPE! our planes were circling around her plane as we were told, and she just parachuted down into the capital, despite us surrounding it and our navy.....

"TEARS! BUUUUUUUUUUHUUUUUUUUBUUUUUHUUUU, WHY LIESL?! WHY?!?! I'VE LOVED YOU AS A DAUGHTER!!!! I DIDN*T WANT TO MARRY YOU, ONLY TO TAKE CARE OF YOU!!! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED YOU TO GET AQUAINTED WITH MY SON AUUUUUUUUUUUU..........

Well, now you know my GD, never trust a young woman like that!

SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SH@T! SHE DISHONORED HER FATHER, HER MOTHER, HER ENTIRE FAMILY AND THE PEOPLE OF LAUSSE BY PLAYING A SIMPLE, INNOCENT, SWEET LITTLE GIRL WHO NEEDS TO BE SAVED FROM THOSE HUNGRY WOLVES, EH? ISN'T IT HOW THIS GAME IS PLAYED, TO USE OLD SWEET MEN SUCH AS MYSELF SO THAT SHE CAN F@CK EVERYONE ELSE?! That's it, I'll destroy every connection what this great, HOUNRABLE, Nation has ever had with those Lausse Demons!!!

Note to Traitorous Liesl: "My dear Liesl,why did you do this to me? Were you scared of you marrying me? Of course I woulnd't want to marry you. Well eh, I mean you look terrific, but I've always wanted to honor my call as your adoptive father in case something happned! I wanted you to get to know my lovely son, a briliant charismatic man who could've been the best boyfriend and possibly husband you've had!!! ANSWER and tell me why you'vre betrayed me?!?!?! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO WRONG YOU?! WHY DO I DESERVE THIS?! Don't you want your nation to become prosperous, together, we could have prevailed greatly!!!! EXPLAIN!!!!!!
 
Liesl cast away the note after briefly skimming it. She had not officially had her trial, but Queen Annemarie had welcomed her with open arms. "Marie," Liesl began, "we can only save Lausse by removing all members of the Ardinger House from power and allowing Johansen and Parliament to take control of the country. I know they'll work towards a democracy... Or, that will be my final request prior to leaving for the most remote areas of Lausse.
A few days later, Liesl, Annemarie, Ingrid, and the rest of the Ardinger family were ready to depart ny car from Nonnberg. As the clock struck midnight, the family quietly made their exit. Brigitta looked down. "How will we explain to Lausse...?"
 
Suddenly, from nowhere, a mysterious figure leaped forward from the shadows and stood right in front of Liesl and the rest of her family!

"Don't shoot!!!" the Golfian secret agent said! :hello:

"I've come with a proposition from the Federal Council of Golfia and especially Grand Duke Galvestan! I think this will aid you with your sneaky coupe de etat, hehehe. You may wonder how we got this sensitive and dangerous information, considering this will get you executed if the people in power will hear of this. Well, let's just say we have a lot of ears here and there. So listen to our proposition! Well what are we waiting for? Let's drive to wherever you want to go, shall we?" :D

"I will listen," Liesl said, "But that doesn't mean I'm going to oblige. Drop your arms; we'll do the same; let's discuss in that nearby ditch."

Annemarie glared at her. "Are you crazy? This is probably some sort of trap!"

"Marie," Liesl sighed, "We have nothing to lose at this point."

Prince Frederich, Annemarie's husband, looked from his book. "She has a point, Maria."

"Alright then," Annemarie reluctantly agreed. "If we get murdered, it's not my fault," she added, eying the agent with suspicion.
 
Thank you your royal highnesses for listening what we have to say! However, I want to just inform you first that there are currently a couple of snipers aiming at your heads (royal family notices laser beams on their heads), you know to pop your brains in case you try something fiddlish etc. Of course, we're not that stupid as it seems, ever since you insulted and humiliated our precious Grand Duke and Nation! But everything is going to be alright as long as you don't do anything foolish or you'll end up like JFK basically! :yes:

Any way, as you know Golfia has one of the most advanced and supreme armed forces in the world, much better than Lausse standards! The point is, is that we would want to offer you our finest troops for a secret invasion led by our SPEC OPS. They will "gladly" help you execute your coup-de-etat and restore democracy in this nation! With a bit of luck, this might even become blodless! In the meanwhile, we'll order some spec ops to protect you at any given location and if you wished, return to Golfia for immunity! :noangel:

Why would the Grand Duke want to help you and your dreams? Well, Galvestan basically cried hysterically for three days, mad at you betraying him and such. However, he came to his senses later on, laughing it away. He became impressed at your deceitfulness and beauty, managing to lure him that easily! Plus, our nations have stood side-by-side since ages ago, supporting each other when war comes by and offering each other help etc. he isn't that stupid to destroy that relationship over such a "small" incident" hehehe ;)

There are some conditions however:
1. You must NEVER reveal this plan or betray the glorious nation of Golfia. Otherwise, we have no choice than to bomb everything in Lausse and salt the earth = GONE FOREVER!
2. Lausse will simply become a protectorate of Golfia. Lausse can gradually assume responsibility for policing, judicial system, company law, accounting, and auditing; mineral resource activities; aviation; law of legal capacity, family law and succession law; aliens and border controls; the working environment; and financial regulation and supervision, while the Golfian government retains control of foreign affairs and defence. It doesn't sound as bad as it sounds ;)
3. If you have any relatives, please convince them to marry Gavestan's children. The Golfian royal family will treat them well!
4. Bring back Galvestan's book that your father borrowed from him but never returned, it's called "The difference between Golfian and Lausse women, loyalty, wine and song".

That's about it! What's your proposition then, Liesl? We'll give you a couple of min. to discuss with your advisors and family! :worship:

Annelise stepped towards the agent. "We have come to a conclusion."

"That conclusion is?" The agent asked.

"We have a different proposition - Golfia will offer to help Lausse via Parliament, as we have no power anymore. We will go to Golfia and essentially become Golfian royalty - however, the Prince and I will not be going on this trip for personal reasons. Yes, Liesl has agreed to give the heir a chance, et cetera. No protectorate, no military - we will all leave Lausse. Now, please remove the damn lasers. They're giving the children headaches. About the book... it burned in the protests over Liesl's removal from power. I apologize."
 
Thank you for your answer, I'll just inform my superiors, the government and Grand Duke!
"a few minutes later"

"Allright folks! Even though it wasn't exactly what we planned and thought of, we'll accept your proposition! As you know, we Golfians do believe in forgiveness and 2nd chances, especially the Grand Duke! He ensures that you'll be treated perfectly and you'll belong to the Royal family immediately, heck even a castle at your choosing if you want to decide where you want to live!" :yes:

"We'll support the new regime!"

"Now, come with us and...ooooh hello there :w00t: " said the young agent flirtiously and finally noticed one of Liesl's younger cousins. Liesl, you never told me that you have such a delicate sister"! Wow, Lausse women are just...."

The young cousin started to blush, and flirt back. "Oh, thank you my good sir, it was kind of you, I'm actually one of her cousins. I must say, you look pretty dandy yourself, Golfian men are so..... rarrgh!" :eyeroll:

"OH, COME ON REALLY?!" Liesl in a irritated tone. "You two can date later on and discuss the Lausse womens' slutness and Golfian mens' hornyness. PLEASE AGENT, escort us to Golfia, I'm tired of this b@llshit I've been through!!!"

"But; What?!; No; Wait; Ain't desiring sexual contact;" Cousin and Agent at the same time

"I WAS JUST KIDDING WITH YOU, JEEEEZUS!!!!! DOES EVERYONE NEED TO TAKE EVERYTHING SERIOUSLY?!?!" Liesl in a raged tone.

"Alright, alright, take it easy there!" the agent said. Suddenly, a Golfian high-tech aircraft appeared from nowhere!

"Welcome onboard, as you can see Golfian quality at its finest"! The agent exclaimed while entering the aircraft."

"God, I just hope that Prince August isn't a nightmare himself".... Liesl said worringly

And off they go!
 
lausse:
RP finished, then? Not really interested in going into detail beyond this point.

Let's just say: Liesl and August fell in love after a couple of years and married, got princes and princesses and lived happily ever after! Oh, and Galvestan and Liesl forgave each other!
Lausse with the help of Golfia overthrew the Royal House Ardinger and restored democracy. The younger cousin of Liesl is together with the agent xD
