The first kingdom, O'Bryans. The second kingdom, Ashalaighn. The third kingdom, Slylinsa. The fourth kingdom, Ribbonth. The sixth kingdom, Knivelisht. The eighth kingdom, Montragurr. The ninth kingdom, Lazbedteer. The Mayberry's have been summoned to the fifth, neutral, Kingdom Worcalia.
The seventh kingdom, NorBraxteen, has declared a military action against it's two neighboring kingdoms. Knivelisht has asked Montragurr and Worcalia for help. Worcalia's king, Charles, thought it best to call a Kingdom Wide Summit.
The kingdom summits are held in the throne room, which doubles as the ballroom.
KINGDOM SUMMIT
Third Person P.O.V.
"Hello, your Magesty's. I am Lunaria Samantha Mayberry, Captain of the S.S.Mayberry Mayday. I will be your liaison, until my family joins us." Luna enunciates, loudly.
King Charles lives in his nuetral castle, so he was already present. Prince Alberient, kingdom of Knivelisht, is present because he spent the last five days asking for help. Prince Toilenshry, kingdom of Montragurr, is present because they were the first and nearest kingdom asked for help. King Nevertish and Prince Alastia, from kingdom Ribbonth, showed up after Montragurr. King Sylvain and Prince Silvern, from kingdom Slylinsa, showed up fifth to the "party" as they called it. King Alconieeny and Prince Foxxtireen, from Lazbedteer, showed up one second before Lunaria. Lunaria wasn't the last person to come in.
The Kings all have to sit on the stage area on their given thrones. The princes and all other "guests" have to find a seat at the different tables on the dancefloor.
The servers bring out varieties of food, from all the kingdoms, and place them on the buffet tables. Tables for guests are stocked with plates, every piece of silverware imaginable, and porcelain glasses. Tabletops are adorned with pristine white silken fabric and gold embroidered tablecloths. The centerpiece of each table, the white cloth napkins, folded into different animal shapes.The wooden chairs upholstered with matching white silk fabric and bordered golden lace. As guests were choosing seats, the kingdoms of O'Bryans and Ashalaighn shower up. They sit without greetings.
Ashalaighn and O'Bryans has been tardy from all kingdom summons's because they almost lost their kingdoms sixteen years ago. There was an uprising against the kingdom of O'Bryans's crown, and the two kings lost a lot.
KINGDOM SUMMIT STARTED
Kings' decisions
"Welcome, your Magestys. I have asked for help to save my kingdoms people. I don't ask for myself, because I don't care what happens to me as long as you can help save my people. I have a spy in the kingdom of NorBraxteen. That spy left this communication with me." Hands over the evidences gathered to each king. "As you can see their king is nowhere to be seen. I think the king is somewhere inside the kingdom. I believe that this military general, Katzsers, has the king somewhere only he can get to him. It would've been ignorant of the general to hold the king in the dungeon; too many people could happen upon him and free him. It would be rather inconvenient to bury the king; then the people wouldn't do as the general asks. In conclusion, I believe we can come together and solve the problem quietly. All we need to do is find the king and return him to his rightful throne." Addresses Prince Alberient.
"Is that all?" Questions O'Bryans' king, Thaddeus Raymond O'Bryan, with attitude.
"I think it may be doable. What's your plan, Prince Alberient?" Charles spoke with authority.
"I don't have a plan, ........yet". Alberient whispered, but everyone heard him. "I didn't know that I would get this far by asking for help. That was my first step, that's all I had written down." Alberient spoke with truthfulness.
"Hmmm....... That's a great start." spoke Lunaria with encouragement. "Maybe, .......We could adjourn, because it's getting late." Suggested Luna, with enthusiasm. I do hope my light attitude works and they take my hints.
"That sounds amazing! Thank you, Lunaria. We should take her up on that offer and adjourn, for now." Charles spoke with authority and dignity. "I had my teams make up rooms for each of you. Remember; you are guests in a Kings house. There is food for all of you to enjoy." Charles stated. "As for you, Alberient, there is a room set up for brainstorming ideas. Maybe, you could invite the Princes and Luna for some snacks and conversation." Nudged King Charles.
"Thank you, your Magesty. I will take you up on that offer." Alberient winked and nudged back.
SECRET BRAINSTORMING ROOM
Prince's decisions
"Wow! There really is a secret room!" exclaims Prince Alastia.
"It happens to be attached to each of our rooms, too. Hmmm .... How convenient." Prince Silvern unenthusiastically says.
"No, the room is made like a rectangle. Only four of your rooms are attached to this secret room. The rest of us had to find the secret hallway entrances. I would've never found it, if not for Prince Alastia." Explains Lunaria.
"Hmmm .... maybe, he should've left you out of "Royal Business"!" Yells Silvern.
"I'm sorry, Luna. Um....May I call you Luna?" Wonders Alberient.
"Yes. Most of my friends, pause to look unfriendly at Silvern, call me Luna May for short. Thanks for asking .... Prince ????" Luna enquires.
"Oh right, we haven't introduced ourselves....Yet." Alberient pauses for dramatic effect. "I am Alberient, Prince of Knivelisht. Next to you is Prince Alastia of Ribbonth. The Prince on my right is Toilenshry of Montragurr. Across from me are the last two Princes of Slylinsa and Lazbedteer, Silvern and Foxxtireen. We are the crowned princes of our respective kingdoms." Alberient said with pride.
"Why is this, this, this, commoner in here!?" Angrily questions Silvern.
"This commoner, is not a common woman! You, you, you pompous ignoramus!" Luna dishes back. "There are royals ....in hiding. That really want to stay hidden." Luna whispers quietly and sits back down.
"Whaaaaat???" All princes speak at once, with shocked expressions.
"I am the daughter of Nathaniel Adams O'Bryan. His wife, Maylinda Anne Ashalaighn was my mother. I am R.O.Y.A.L.!" States Luna May.
"Whoa! I never saw that coming." Speaks Foxxtireen.
"Ah, that explains why you kept looking between O'Bryans' and Ashalaighn's kings. You know them!" Alastia excitedly says.
"Yes. I know them. They are my grandfathers." Luna dejectedly explains.
"Why such a long face? Now, you are our equal." Toilenshry spoke with reverence.
"I am your equal, regardless. I am the Queen of the Sea! My adopted father just retired, and my brothers didn't want the title of King. I am not married, so there is no King of the Sea. I can make a decision for my family without my family's say so, they don't have a choice. I try not to make too many brash decisions, so I confer with each of them in turn. That is just how I am." Luna tells them with decisiveness.
"interesting." Silver speaks quietly. "Do they know?"
"Does who know?" Luna asks, then goes on to explain. "No. The S.S.Mayberrys do not know about me being a royal. I'm sure they suspected I was someone of importance, but they still chose to adopt me. My grandfathers ....." Luna paused to regain her bearings. "......They know I'm alive, somewhere. I took my favorite marker pen, which has both shields of their kingdoms, from grandfather Thaddeus' office. I figured they would know that I was alive and would not stop searching for me. I don't know what happened after I took the pen and stowed away on the S.S.Mayberry Mayday sixteen years ago."
"Okay, soooooo let me get this straight. Whatever decision the Kings of O'Bryans and Ashalaighn make, this young woman can detest it?" Alastia points in Luna's direction.
"Yes, but let's hope it doesn't come to that." Luna answers.
"Okay, sooooo what's the plan? Luna gave you an extra day to figure it out." Toilenshry says.
The Princess and the Princes take all night to reach a decision. They adjourn just as breakfast is being served in the ballroom. They enter the ballroom together. All eyes turn to them as they enter. Luna sees her brothers and her father. There's no sign of any Mayberry women, other than Luna. Breakfast is finished and Luna joins the Princes.
FINAL DECISION OF THE SUMMIT
Kings' listen to the plan
"We have made a decision." Alberient declares loudly. "We are using the S.S.Mayberrys ships as a distraction. They will stay in international waters, unless Luna calls them for backup. Luna." Alberient allows me to take his position, while he sits down.
"I am Lunaria Samantha Mayberry, as I addressed you all yesterday." Luna walks around the princes and her family, to stand in the middle of the room. "I am the current Queen of the Sea. There is no King because I am not married. My family will help the Princes and protect them with our lives. I am trained sufficiently enough to protect your son's on land as they are trained as well." Luna puts up her hand. "No interruptions. Let me explain. One, we cannot take a huge group. It will be found and deterred. Two, we cannot let the Kings go or our younger siblings. There has to be someone to protect the throne and someone to take over from the Kings. Three, a small force can go in and distract the general from the secondary small squad. Four, our goal is not to go to WAR! The goal is to find and free the King, so he can deal with the general himself." Luna signals for Alberient to take over.
"Luna, myself, and Toilenshry will fly in. Luna will stay as a princess, herself." Everyone is shocked, but the princes. "She is the ultimate distraction. If the general doesn't like our idea of peace offering, Luna will offer herself up in order to bring peace to the world. Of course, we are not going to let her stay there long. The other princes are going to use longboats to come ashore, while Luna is distracting Katzsers. All of us are going to create a distraction in the palace, so Luna and her "personal maid" can find the key or secret place where they're keeping the king. The "personal maid" is free to go wherever they want in the palace, so it'd be easier for them to find and free the King. The Mayberrys are on the sidelines, unless they are signaled by myself or called by Luna. UNDERSTOOD?" Alberient asks the Mayberrys.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, Prince Alberient." All Mayberrys say perfectly in sync, while saluting.
"That sounds like a deviously, great plan. I give my blessing to you all. May the strength of each kingdom be with you all." King Charles loudly proclaims.
"I give my blessing to you all." All, but O'Bryans and Ashalaighn proclaim.
"O'Bryans abstains from combat. This does not include us. We should not have been bothered with this childish, foolhardy plan." King Thaddeus says as he walks away.
"Ashalaighn also abstains. Though I don't think it's a foolhardy plan. I do think there are many variables that can go wrong in this plan of yours. it is a bit childish and it might just work. I will send my personal guard for Luna's "personal maid". Here she is now. Good luck to you all." King Osira Romulus Ashalaighn winks as he is leaving.
"That's not good enough " Speaks Luna softly. "I don't think Mimi Becca or Mimi Nina would appreciate you sending their granddaughter out without sufficient protection, GRANDFATHERS!" Luna reveals to everyone as the two kings stop at the double doors.
"Luna! Are you saying that these KINGS are your family?" asks my adopted father rather harshly.
"Yes! That is what I just said, father. These KINGS are my father's father and my mother's father. I'm sorry I hid it all these years, but I was happy where I was with all of you. I will always be the "Blood of the Kings" and an "S.S.Mayberry"! That will never change. What's your answer now, grandfathers?" Luna explains and questions, as her father feints.
"We will send aid to Luna and her friends." Osira and Thaddeus say together.
"Well, we should rest now. Tomorrow you leave. Be careful and take care of each other. This meeting is adjourned, Goodnight Kings, Princes, and Princess." Finalizes King Charles.
