The young scion appears... awed. There's a sense of hope in his eyes as he fixates upon the camera. A searching inquisitiveness. An overview effect. He felt as if he was measuring the size of his homeland for the first time - all the stars in Rheinland arrayed before him. Fragile glisters of light against the dark of the cosmos, cradled between three nebulae. For the royal family were more than people - they were legion. The personification of an electorate that would turn them into symbols of their best selves.



"Sire. You honour us."

"I am your servant, Linus VonClaussen of the House VonClaussen. I presume you know who I am, lord."

"The stage is set for the return of the Emperor. The Federal parties have finally made a mistake unpopular enough to rattle the middle class. I have tried my utmost for you, my lords. Our ultimate thanks rests upon the machiavellian attitudes of the United Democratic Party, who likely are only supporting us in our vote for a new Chancellor, so they may appoint a chancellor themselves. I doubt the Imperial party would gain much traction in a Bundestag where the outlawed party begins tearing the economy apart. We run the chance for a strong ruler chosen by the people once more. "

"The first kings of Rheinland were appointed by a mandate of the people. The monarchy was a social contract - an understanding that there must be an absolute authority that special interest groups could not corrupt. Democracy and the popular vote were for the people - but democracy must not answer to lobbyists, no. When the Senate had an Emperor at its head, Rheinland explorers braved the edge systems, discovered wonders without falling to the alien. Our infrastructure was the finest collaborative efforts humanity had created. Our peoples were happy and fed."

"We have suffered nearly two hundred years of corruption by men and monsters. "

"The Imperial Party has grown. Some view us as a protest vote, but many are true believers. Since the first display of solidarity, six months ago now, our network has grown. We have supporters in the admiralty, the civil service, the department of justice to its highest levels. The captains of industry in Kruger, Daumann, and the Shipping industries, support us. So too do their workers, if we uphold the promise of the restoration of the old Imperial protections for labour against international capital."

"My lieges, I am of the opinion that it is time to popularise the return of the Albrechts. You need but give the word. I understand that the Crown Prince himself is undergoing preparations for the state we would create, should we triumph. Our triumph is by no means assured, and we will lose the election if the Rheinland people do not turn out en-masse."

"It would be most beneficial if a member of the Albrecht family joined me, and the Imperial Party, on the campaign trail. To hear tangible proof of the return of the king will rally support from across the Republic. There are millions of Rheinlanders who welcome our policies but consider the Imperial ideals retrogressive, outmoded. Living proof, from a family who have known a humble life, will make the royal icon human to these vital undecided voters who will decide the outcome of the electoral process."

"We fight corruption and the establishment - its roots are deep, its institutions prone to all manner of vile strategies to undermine us. In the Public eye, it will be easier to protect the safety of the royal family. There are powerful men out there who would call traitors, patriots. "

"It is time, princes, to bring the Albrect line back to the public eye."

With civillity and respect, I remain your servant;
