Siting on my throne I couldn't help but marvel at how amazing the throne room looked it was lined with massive white pillars with ornate symbols and runes carved in lines practically every inch and filled with gold that supported the great Architectural roof that looked like something out of Michelangelo's collection with murals and paintings with precious gems, gold as highlights. Their was also a large purple carpet leading up the the throne that was raised by steps made of shiny white marble tiles. There were large flower pots placed to the sides to give the place a more natural feel. The throne reminded me of gilgameshs throne from Fate grand order Babylonia not to shiny like a throne made from gold but still had a ancient and regal look. Behind it was one of the first holo emitters made it was used to scare the primitives of this world by having the Throne burn in pale blue flames that moved according to the situation in the background a silent nod to the Fire nation and Valeria two island nations that attacked continents with overwhelming firepower.
Unfortunately when I sat on it I was immediately uncomfortable this was not a good gaming chair this was a symbol of Sovereignty according to the background I had set up with the 1st and 2nd generation it had existed since before the dawn age so roughly 9000 years and Rogal and Morgana had done everything in their power to fortify it against time and the elements but they still want to improve it when they can. I think adding a cushion would help but i suppose having it be like this will help me keep posture and in character. Thank squiddy I'm not sitting on that Iorn throne tho.
Waiting nervously outside of two massive doors made from obsidian and albedo metals and carved with two strange humanoid creatures (angel and a demon) so realistically they seemed almost real were the dignitaries from the continents and their retinues responsible for bringing the gifts. Dignitaries Stood, Sat and paced all waiting for the word to enter. Soon enough a tall stately man with blond hair and sharp eyes informed them that they were to enter one at a time. Give the gift receive a gift in return and then speak for a short time to the Prince Regent.
Splendor and Majesty would be a good description anyone who entered the throne room of Britannia would give if asked. The delegates walked forward in small groups one at a time having names and titles called to the Prince and his high nobles who stood to the side. Everyone was awe struck by the prince despite his age his sky like eyes seemed to see into the soul and his white hair was framed by a crown of silver and white light giving off a saintly atmosphere that was further in proved by the white robes lined with gold and The blue fire that danced behind his throne.
Serra was incredibly nervous this would be the time she would be judged and she knew her life was on the line. Looking at the magistrates sweating back and neck she knew it wasn't just her. She had prepared as best she could in a light blue silk dress that revealed enough to capture any man but didn't make her look like a easy conquest. Her silver hair had been done up in the local fashion she observed from the girls at the ball to fit in more closely with them. And she used very little makeup to reveal her natural beauty. But when she saw the price she couldn't help but feel like it wasn't enough.
Sitting on the throne as people came to greet me and talk I felt more and more uncomfortable it was one thing to act a like a king and another to actually do the job thank squiddy I'm only a puppet king and don't have to actually get into the real politics and managment I just gave to sit and look good for the public. My thoughts ran away as I kept my poker face and Regal bearing as I talked to the representative from Braavos who seemed to be here to talk about trade but we had very little interest in trading anything technological or really valuable but I agreed as we could export our excess food and interesting items that will give us a cultural impression on this worlds natives like books or paintings plus it might give my people inspiration. I could swear I saw Lorgar nodding his head in a I knew it manner to the side.

Next to come up was Stannis who gave his greetings from the seven kingdoms and it's king. I was I bit shocked by how young he looked he still had a good hair and didn't look like he had gone through the hardships of life. But I suppose it made sense his only real problem should be he's daughter with gray scale. His hatred with his brother hadn't grown with time as much as a few years later. As far as I remember it was a few stillborn babys at this time but I could be wrong my memory's are limited due to not caring about his story to much when watching game of thrones. I actually found the guy behind him more compelling the Onion knight is a very compelling character.
Stannis maintained his composure under the young prince's keen stare. But Ser Davos was sweating slightly. Stannis chose to continue "We bring gifts from all lands of the seven kingdoms and hope to build a bridge of cooperation between of lands." The Prince answered in a practiced manner "We have no conflicts and as such I have made my finest artisans make small light status for all the great lords" nodding the Prince showed off exquisite podiums made from white stone each with a glowing statue on top that represented the great lords for example house Tyrell had a rose that gave a golden glow same with house Lanisters lion head, Dorn had a red sun and the Starks had a gray wolf head. It was a real marvel of art and light. Stannis accepted the gifts and the offer of a non interference pact that the prince had written up in common and signed and sealed by both of them.
As I watched Stannis leave I was quite giddy as in those podiums was extremely advanced surveillance equipment and a drone with holo projectors in case I wanted to make the world seem more magical. It would let me see and hear everything happening in the castle of any lord that had one and even act as a magic stick if I wanted. Like a Trojan horse so I could know and act at the best times to proceed with my very disorganized plan that involves living life and following my
whims In a weak world were no one could stop me.
Next to step forward was Magistrate Vellore of Lys and next to him was a beautiful young girl of about 15 or 16 who looked like a noble. He did the usual greetings and then offered the girl and several crates of gold as gifts. I looked at him for a long moment as I thought if I was a different protagonist I would kill this guy and free the girl due to my original worlds upbringing and a sense of morales developed in a modern era but I wasn't that kind of person why should I free her or care about both of them when I don't even know them. Also from that guys perspective and probably the girls as well there is nothing strange about this yea it might suck but they live In a society were slaves are the norm much like most of my worlds history. Oh my looks like they are both sweating now better get back to it. "Morgana please inspect the girl I called out" a few minutes later I received a report that she was scanned to be clean and still a virgin so there was no problem in accepting. The magistrate then told of how his position was in danger and I zoned out for a bit at the end. He wasn't very valuable to me or my plans but he was OK to keep around. If he proved worthy of my help I decided to give him exclusive rites to our trade with Lys as a test and to help him maintain his position for now at that he was overjoyed and flattered for the next five minutes. The girl was escorted to my room when he left.
By the time all the guests were gone I was tired but happy. The notable things that happened were me giving out more of our spy devices that the rich couldn't resist and the faceless man as one of the retinues bringing up the gifts. But he didn't do anything it might be scouting and making a assessment of our kingdom.
