“You seem to be a very outspoken woman. I like that. Frankness just kills me. ‘Cant stand demureness. Half the ladies out there-” She gestured to the pavilions around the house. “Aren't half as clever as you. Had I asked them how many blood hounds, etc. etc. they would of batted their eyes and said something like-” and what followed was an airy nasal parody of the Ivendell accents ‘ Why Madam, I... I really-I..dont... perhaps you ought to talk to my father about that Madam’ Its rather irksome. Wouldn't you say Darkhair?” The Archduke shrugged. “That's why my brother hasn't found a wife yet. He doesn't like the ‘civility’ and ‘refinement’ of the capital, isn't that right Milord? Well no need to worry, at least I’m not civilized. If you noticed, I am about as brutish as ladies out here. Oh excuse me Madam, I said I would be good, didn't I?” And with that Gen flounced across the hall to examine a family portrait. Darkhair moved upon the Lady Aprilus. “I’m sorry if my sister offends you madam. She is very full of life... very vibrant. And as she said before she is a complete brute.” |

"It is quite alright milord," Geneve replied. "It is nice to have someone to talk to." |

“Whose this?” Gen called. She was pointing to a portrait of a very lovely blond haired woman in an incredibly old fashioned blue gown. “That looks like something I would of worn when I was very young..” Gen thought, recalling how a hundred years ago she had worn hoop dresses of blue satan and silk flounces. |

"My..great-grandmother. Diane Aprilus. Her husband - my great-grandfather began these estates. They are both long dead.." There was a bell. "Mahdam, dinnah is served." A southern voice replied. Geneve perked up. "Dinner is ready. Shall we go?" |

“We shall.” As Darkhair and Gen made their way behind the Lady Aprilus, Gen whispered quietly. “Have you ever heard of Diana Aprilus?” Darkhair shook his head. “But then, that was before the un-incorporated lands were the un-incorporated lands. The last name might of changed over the years.” “Madam?” Gen inquired. “Have you ever been to the ruins of Hayholt, just up north of here on the coast?” |

Geneve shook her head as the headed towards the dining room. "No. Father is very finiky about his money. He hasn't given me any money to travel around and learn. Why do you ask your majesty?" |

“Curious is all. What are your opinions about a large unified western fief?” This was a rather controversial question. |

"To be honest, I..would not like it. If this land is incoorperated, slavery will be abolished. All the profits of the families will go down hill, and this place will be barren. I am not fond of unification. My father of course wishes to raise a house guard and march on and defeat the Rei Henka..but I respect him, although his policies are..odd." |

“Good girl” Gen said. “I didn't know that Un-incorporated families were so anti Imperial. I have heard rumors that the south wants to secede and is raising an army now. Eden keeps screaming about National rights. My cousin, Leto Valois is scared to death of his own people. Troubled times we are living in now” Except her cheery voice seemed untroubled. It was very difficult for people, in such lofty positions as Gen, to truly understand when revolution and civl war reared its ugly head. She could imagine nothing better than the strength, unity and power of the Hegemony. She didn't understand that those in the west resented being part of Meria, if only in name. She didn't understand that Eden, which through the hundred year war had developed such a strong culture, resented now being part of the Hegemony. She had no clue that within a few months her entire world would collapse. And so though she joked about these things, they didn't trouble her or keep her up. Darkhair was not in such a loft position. He was scared to death of what another war might bring. Frightened that the way of life in which he had become accustomed would shatter. |

"The Hegemony must not falter..I believe. If it does, I believe these regions will be turned into a fief. The Ghoth and Lhoth fight over this alot, so says my father. If Eden secedes, slavery will be abolished all over Meira..including here." |

Gen nodded. “That's true. It might even spell the end for the Lhoth and Ghoth. If Leto was deposed, then my father could declare emergency powers. You would bet that his first act as absolute ruler would be to abolish the house guards, and draft all men into the imperial army. No matter if Eden won or lost, I think he would appoint someone to rule the west backed by this new larger Imperial army.” “Lets just hope Eden has enough sense to realize they are better off part of the Hegemony than independent.“ The Archduke commented. |

Geneve nodded, but spoke. "If that does happen..if Eden does secede. Will you take me to Ivendell with you? If Eden secedes, you can bet many of the families out here will rise up in revolt. I don't want to see that kind of horror." |

Gen raised an eyebrow. Though they were staying at the Aprilus house, they barely knew the family. “You think this area will become a war zone.” Gen commented. It wasn't a question. As she looked around the dining room, she nodded. As if the fine wood paneling in the walls showed the blood battles of revolt that would happen here, as if the bronze door knobs and lamps were a testimony to the scene in which this whole house would probably be burned. “Yes, if Eden secedes, this area will too. And for all its wealth, it will be destroyed.” Gen shook her head. It was not that she didn't understand that the world of the Hegemony would be ripped asunder in a few months, she understood that very well. She accepted it. After all, most of the fighting would be done in Eden and here. Ivendell would continue to be quite placid, if not festive for all the exciting happenings. And after all, it would mean that her father would rise to a position of absolutism. As Darkhair realized this, he became horrified that his sister would so easily discard the lives of men, even if they did live far away. He hopped that no one else realized this, much less their host. “Yes” Gen said. “I suppose you can come to Ivendell. When the fighting starts, you’ll have to hurry though if you want to make it before we close the borders. “ |

Geneve nodded. "Thank you. What do you think of Serdio? Do you think it aid the Meiran cause? Last I heard they had a regent; their king went on some adventure and has yet to return." |

“Serdio... will have to stay neutral.” Gen said. “If they aided us, Eden would attack them viciously, and if they aided Eden, we would swoop in with all the Mecca vengeance. Its good that they can use their regent as an excuse not to get in some silly war.” |

"Yes, it is good. But won't it become land to march across? Eden soldiers will need to get to Meira somehow." |

“Well, it was my impression that Eden wants only to be left alone. You see-” The Archduke said drawing from some hidden pocket a tattered red thin book “I have the secession pamphlet. Lets see here... : He flipped through the well worn pages, until he got to were he wanted to read. “...It is the duty of Eden not to attack our former parent Nation. Once the Mythical States of Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Carolina announce themselves to the world, it will be the duty of Meria to keep us from our long desired peace. It shall not be us who seek out war like some much prized trinket, but the Empire of Meria and the Rei Henka...” There was a silence for a moment. “Father wont let them secede.” Gen said. “Thus, there will be war.” |

"War is horrible thing..I've yet to forgot the nightmares of the century war. I was indeed far removed from where fighting took part, but even I felt the burden of war. My brother joined the army..he never returned." Geneve bit her lip to hold back the salty tears, but she continued to stare at the binded pamphlet, which looked more like something belonging in the trash than in the hands of people. "Your majesty..may I have that phamphlet? I wish to read it in my spare time, even if it is a radical piece of material, threatening to tear the Hegemony apart." |

Geneve held the booklet in hand carefully after the Archduke had given it to her. It was large for something advocating something as simple as secession. "I shall look over it later. Come, dinner is getting cool." Geneve replied, heading into the dining room. |
