WHERE DID ALL THIS SNOW COME FROM ALL OF A SUDDEN? IT'S BEEN CHILLY LATELY, BUT STILL... LET'S MOVE QUICKLY BEFORE IT PILES UP EVEN MORE! WHEN WILL HER MAJESTY FINALLY MOVE INTO THE PALACE? I HEARD THE CORONATION DATE HASN'T EVEN BEEN SET YET. HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING, LADY RUTHERFORD? VISCOUNTESS ELIZABETH COMTE APPARENTLY THE CORONATION WILL BE POSTPONED UNTIL DOMESTIC AFFAIRS STABILIZE. THERE'S STILL MUCH TO SETTLE, SO I SUPPOSE IT CAN'T BE HELPED. WELL, THE COUNCIL ISN'T EXACTLY CALM EITHER... PEOPLE KEEP TALKING. THEY DISCUSS WHO SHOULD'VE BECOME KING, OR WHO'S SECRETLY GATHERING TROOPS. HONESTLY, EVEN AFTER SEEING DUKE KIEL FALL, THEY'VE LEARNED NOTHING. HAHA TSK PERHAPS NOT. AS YOU KNOW, LADY COMTE, WHEN I FIRST TOOK CHARGE OF THE FAMILY AFTER MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY, I RECEIVED QUITE A WIDE VARIETY OF "ADVICE." INDEED. THOSE PEOPLE PROBABLY... I'M SURE SHE THINKS THAT IT WAS THE COMMANDER WHO DEFEATED DUKE KIEL, NOT HER MAJESTY. THAT THE QUEEN WAS SIMPLY CHOSEN BY THE COMMANDER. I HEAR GIFTS HAVE BEEN POURING INTO HOUSE HEIBERGH LATELY. DO YOU KNOW WHO'S BEEN GIVING THE MOST? APPARENTLY, HE'S ALREADY STARTED SENDING PRIVATE SOLDIERS TO FORTMEIER. HE'S COUNTING HIS CHICKENS-BEFORE THEY HATCH. OH MY, HOW BOLD. WHAT WAS THAT? YOU ALL MUST BE BUSY PREPARING FOR WINTER, SO I'LL GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. I KNOW YOU’RE ANXIOUS SINCE THE CORONATION HASN’T BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED, BUT I ASK FOR A LITTLE MORE PATIENCE. IT WILL BE HELD EARLY NEXT YEAR, DURING THE FIRST SOWING PERIOD. MY CABINET HASN’T BEEN FORMED YET, AND TENSIONS WITH NEIGHBORING NATIONS ARE HIGH, SO I’D LIKE TO FOCUS ON CAREFULLY MONITORING THE SITUATION. NEXT. WE WILL REFORM THE ADMINISTRATIVE BRANCH. THE PROPOSED CABINET STRUCTURE IS... NEXT. I’D LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT PREPARATIONS FOR HEAVY SNOWFALL IN THE NORTH. NEXT. I HAVE A PROPOSAL TO ADJUST NEXT YEAR'S TAX RATE TO... IF YOU LOOK AT THE LIST OF TERRITORIES AFFECTED BY LAST YEAR'S POOR HARVEST... SO THIS IS WHAT SHE'S BEEN DOING... ...INSTEAD OF SLEEPING EVERY NIGHT. SHE WAS PREPARING FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING, WASN'T SHE? LASTLY, LET'S CONCLUDE THE DISCUSSION REGARDING THE FORMER DUKE KIEL'S TERRITORY. FINALLY! THE KEY QUESTION WAS WHO WOULD TAKE CHARGE OF THE WESTERN COAST. I THOUGHT ENDLESSLY ABOUT WHAT TO DO. THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME... PERHAPS THE PREMISE ITSELF SHOULD BE CHANGED. THE PREMISE? I HAD HOPED MARCHIONESS RUTHERFORD AND DUKE WHEATON WOULD COOPERATE HARMONIOUSLY, BUT I BEGAN TO WONDER WHETHER IT WAS TRULY EFFICIENT FOR TWO PEOPLE TO SHARE THE SAME WORK. THEREFORE, I INTEND TO APPOINT ONE OF YOU AS ROYAL PRECEPTOR...* *PRECEPTOR: A HIGH-RANKING MENTOR TO A FUTURE MONARCH ...AND ENTRUST THE OTHER WITH FULL AUTHORITY AS ACTING GOVERNOR OF THE ENTIRE KIEL DUCHY. A ROYAL PRECEPTOR AND A GOVERNOR OF THE KIEL DUCHY? W-WHAT...?! YOUR MAJESTY DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SPOUSE, LET ALONE AN HEIR, AND YOU'RE APPOINTING A PRECEPTOR? THE MENTOR OF THE CROWN PRINCE OR PRINCESS IS AN IMMENSELY IMPORTANT POSITION. I AM IN GOOD HEALTH, SO THERE WILL LIKELY BE AN HEIR BEFORE LONG. BUT WHAT IS THAT REACTION? I'D CHOSEN YOU TO TEACH MY FUTURE CHILD. WHAT A SHAME! PARDON? YOU CHOSE... ME? DUKE WHEATON. I HEARD YOU ONCE EARNESTLY WISHED TO BECOME THE LATE CROWN PRINCE'S MENTOR. I BELIEVE FEW ARE AS WISE AND THOUGHTFUL AS YOU. TRULY, THERE IS NO ONE BETTER SUITED FOR THE JOB. PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY FUTURE CHILD. Y-YOUR MAJESTY... WHO WILL GOVERN THE DUCHY? OH, THAT WILL BE... ...MARCHIONESS RUTHERFORD. I WILL ENTRUST IT TO YOU. WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE MY LEAVE. DUKE WHEATON, MARCHIONESS RUTHERFORD, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH BOTH OF YOU. OH NO... DUKE WHEATON... WALTER... WHAT IS ALL THIS? IT'S SO EXTRAVAGANT.
