At Last

On November 5th, 1938, Prince Theodore of Triesenberg sat in a sleek black car, watching the towering spires of Volkshalle come into view. It was a structure built to inspire awe, and it did. He knew that today marked a pivotal moment for his empire. The many meetings between Lord Reginald and Valoria's leadership had culminated in this day. Finally, Theodore would meet with the enigmatic leader of Valoria, in person.

The streets leading up to the Volkshalle were lined with Valorian soldiers, their uniforms crisp and their faces stern. Theodore studied them closely as the car slowed, his thoughts racing. This was not just a diplomatic meeting—it was a chance to salvage his pride after the humiliation of the naval retreat. He would not let Valoria see him as anything less than the rightful leader of Triesenberg.
