<div class="floatright"><em><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">For:<br/>(http://www.angelickitten.com/gal/avatar/isabella.jpg)<br/>Isabella de`Guignes </span></strong></em></div><br/>It's been two years since the death of King Edmond Edenburgh, the One King of the Euro Empire.  His son, and heir apparent, Cameron upon his coronation bade the Inquisitors to launch a full investigation to determine the death of the King.  To this day, Cameron believes that foul play was involved.  Despite a full scale investigation, the Inquisitors had come up short, and no leads were ever found.  A rare failure for the diligent Inquisitors.<br/><br/>Cameron was pressured by his advisers, to take a wife, so that his subject might have their fears put to rest that stability would soon be restored to the Euro Crown.  A year later, Cameron abruptly took a wife.  Baroness Adahafera Arcwright, after the briefest of courtships was wed to Cameron and made queen.  While none would speak publicly of it, many speculated why the young King would take such a young wife that provided no political advantage.  It was a perfect time, to form an alliance with their Franco Rivals, or to strengthen ties with the Spaniard and Italian Houses that were a part of the Empire.  It was in truth, a question that Isabella would have given much to know.<br/><br/>The Royal couple had been wed for less than a year, when Cameron had announced that he thought it was appropriate for the Order of the Roses to return to active service.  The Order of the Rose, had been established by Cameron's mother Rose.  The members of the order were commonly known, and addressed as Roses, and were women of unique and exceptional talent who served her pleasure and were directed at Queen Rose's person direction.  While many sought service with the Order of the Rose, their numbers, by established tradition never numbered more than a dozen.<br/><br/>Cameron had decided, that now that the Euro Empire again had a queen, the Order of the Rose would again be revived to serve her.  That was under a month ago.  As the season of long nights ended, it was presumed good time to announce the order's return to active service.  Over the next year, Queen Adhafera would appoint those she deemed worthy to serve her in the Order of the Rose.  This was not to say, that Cameron could not make recommendations.  There were many able and capable women in Northwind who might have served at her pleasure.  In truth, if she so desired, she might have formed the order completely from Northwind.<br/><br/>Isabella found this ... at least mildly offensive, she was after all one of those women who was born, raised, and took pride in Northwind.  It was nearly noon now, and Cameron had 'requested' an informal meeting with Isabella to discuss 'royal' matters.  The Royal Park had been designated the location he desired for the meeting.  It was a place Isabella had known all her life.  During the warmer seasons, she had spent many quiet days in what she was easily one of the most pleasant places in Northwind.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Footnote</div><div class="spoiler_body">Depending on who Bella's family are, they would have a residence in Northwind somewhere.  Bella would have permanent quarters there which she would call her own, along with other members of her family.  <br/><br/><em><span class="bbc_u">Suggested</span> direction of response</em>, You may go into detail about anything special she might do for the meeting as well as give me a hint as to where she stands on events in campaign as i've explained them to you so far, and I will pick up the story from you at the Royal Park with Cameron.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">map</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;">A map of Northwind may be found on page 28 of the old campaign PDF. </span>http://www.angelickitten.com/rpol/pdf/nw_v2.pdf (http://www.angelickitten.com/rpol/pdf/nw_v2.pdf)</div></div>
