The New Palace
Eschenbach, Elben
The final preparations were underway for the king and his entourage to travel to Chagny. There, they would take part in historic happenings: the election and elevation of a new emperor in the North. Karl Maria stood in his study looking at a large globe. It was several centuries old. He slowly rotated the sphere, noting some parts that were "unknown" and other parts that bore names now relegated to history. One of them, in Gallogermania, was that of the Holy Tiburan Empire.
"A name retrieved from where it was put aside."
"What's that, sire?" Count von Schlabrendorff was across the room, having just finished drafting some documents. The nobleman's place as foreign minister had been made obsolete by recent appointment of a new imperial minster by those temporarily overseeing the empire in its embryonic stage. But he had a new job, taking over as chancellor of the kingdom of Elben.
"Oh, just thinking. It is not often one is at the center of history, even when one is a king."
The count nodded as he studied his master. There's certainly been a change in him since this imperial business began. Coming over, he bowed deeply and said aloud, "May you have a safe journey, Majesty. God be with you and all your fellow electors."
Karl Maria smiled confidently and then departed the room.
