Part I: Dana I
In the year 1492, I under the direction of Her Majesty, Dana I commissioned tax collectors in Jerusalem, Acre, Amman, Damascus, Aleppo, and Mosul. In the cities of Akaba and Beriut, I ordered the city walls of both towns to be upgraded. Once the imperial postmen galloped out of Jerusalem to deliver my orders. I began preparing for a royal wedding. Within a hour, I was on my way to Zion Palace for the wedding. When I arrived at the palace, Carlside the Foreign Minister greeted me saying:
"Ah Prime Minister Thompson, I see you here for the wedding."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," I replied.
"Good," Madame Carlside replied. "I do hope you stay a while afterward."
"Why should I stay?" I asked.
"Sir Monroe, Her Majesty the Empress has ordered a cabinet meeting after the reception."
At that point, the Defense Minister approached us, saying "Sir Thompson and Madame Carlside, the wedding is about to start, and the Empress requests our presence."
All of us then immediately went to the great hall where the wedding ceremony was to be performed. At the reception afterward, Prince Edward, the Empress' brother was created Duke of Acre. On the very next day, the Duke of Acre then went to his new post in Judea, with his new wife, Emilie of the Palatinat.
At the Cabinet meeting, Her Majesty Empress Dana told us that in eight days she plans to depart Jerusalem for Aleppo to personally see for herself the condition of the defenses on our northern border. The northern border has of late been a major concern of Her Majesty ever since the Turks have unified all of Asia Minor. After the Empress left for Aleppo, the only time she returned to Jerusalem was to supervise the weddings of her youngest brother Henry, Duke of Jordan who married Princess Catherine of Portugal and her counsin, George, Duke of Lebanon who married Barbara Barbarigo of Venice. I had hoped that after the northern border had secured, that the Empress would return to Jerusalem. Alas, it was not to be, for Her Majesty died in Aleppo after falling off a horse. Her body was returned to Jerusalem to be buried with full honors. As for the throne, her son Henry was duly proclaimed as Emperor Henry VII of Mig. However, because our new Emperor was only six years old, his father, Henry the King Father was named Regent.
The offical record of Dana's reign was written as thus:
"Dana, Empress of Mig did what was right in the sight of the Lord. She fortified the cities in Mig, and collected the taxes produced in them. She died in the tenth year of her reign, in the year of our Lord fourteen hundred and ninety-five. Dana was buried in Jerusalem, in the Imperial Tombs. Henry, her son then reigned in her stead."
Part II: Henry VII (the Regency of Henry, Duke of Jerusalem)
In the year 1498, the Duke of Syria married Princess Anne of Hungary, a distant cousin of the King Father. Looks like His Majesty has his sights on the Hungarian throne, and wants to make sure that the Hapsburgs doesn't screw him out of it. Time will only tell if the bribe of 200 pieces of gold he sent to Ulaszo II will be enough to have the Hungarian king name His Majesty as his successor. In my opinion, if the King Father does succeed to the Hungarian throne, Maxmilian the Hapsburg Archduke of Austria and the Holy Roman Emperor will cry bloody murder, since the Hapsburgs also have a claim on the Hungarian throne. Frankly, I'm afraid that if the King Father does become the King of Hungary, it would mean war with both the Hapsburgs and the Ottomans, since both Austria and Turkey would see a Migite King of Hungary as a serious affront.
