A Rheinland royal marriage

[Alpha.Wolf]

The Von Thielau Estate 829 A.S.

Three years have passed since the events of the Imperial Coup in Rheinland and the proclamation of the Empire of Rheinland. Peace has come to the citizen of Planet Stuttgart and their home is heavily secured by the Battleships Westfalen and the KKS-Kaiserstolz, the flagship of Großadmiral Karl-Heinz von Thielau, Stuttgart's governor.
It is one of these days, Karl-Heinz can relax. The civil war has ended and his family must not fear a putsch of the Federalists right now.

Karl-Heinz walks down the garden of his Estate. Everything is quiet and the Grandadmiral can forget his duties for some minutes. He begins to smile.
As he keeps on walking, he hears men with heavy boots approaching him. Karl-Heinz sighs. *One Day. One day without this f****** daily business. Is that too much?* he asked himself. He turned around. "Die Herren. What can I do for you?" The Soldiers saluted to their leader. Großadmiral, your granddaughter asks for you, Sir. "Which one?" Miss Kara, the Police Inspekteurin
"Ah, Kara. Alright I will go and listen what she has to say. Danke, Leutnant."

Karl-Heinz leaves the Garden and heads to the Estate. Walking down the long hall with the marble floor, he can hear his boots through the whole house.
He stops in front of his granddaughter's rooms and knocks. "Kara, are you there? Kara! The Leutnant said you asked for me!" She opens the door and looks at her Grandfather tiredly. "Ja, yesterday, Opa! It is just 7am! We're all sleeping! Why aren't you sleeping anyway?" He grumbled. " Watch your mouth young lady I am your Grandfather! I can be up all night and youldn't have to tell any of you why I am! Does not matter now. Now, as you are up, what can I do for you?"

"Argh. Nevermind. Alright, Karlchen, you probably remember the Prince... Prince Christian... The one who came with us to our Estate three years ago to secure him here against Federal Agents, right?"

The Großadmiral nods. "Ja, I indeed recall him, since he still lives here on my Land. What is with him?"
Kara looked down to the floor and her face blushed. "N.n.nothing... I think I just like him. I have seen him more often since the proclamation of the Empire. Would you... arrange something? Something that... is more binding than a romanc... oh Opi you know what I mean!" She uses a high tone in her voice and her big eyes. She knows Karl-Heinz can't resist these.

The old man looks a long time at her artificial smile without saying a word. "Ja nun gut Kara. I will go visit him later. Now get yourself dressed, otherwise the Prince could see you with your "just-woke-up"-hair." He laughs and turns away to head down the hall again.
Karl-Heinz leaves the Estate and heads towards Christian von Albrecht's house.
