~As decreed by Ludwig the IV, Emperor of Germany, Luisa of the House of Wittelsbach is to be named hence this day forth as successor to the German Empire. She shall have one year from this date to find a consort and either be married or engaged to be wed within a month's time as of the day of her coronation. As being named successor she must produce an heir within 5 years of her coronation date. To be of legitimate royal blood is all that is needed to be named heir...
"Aaahhhhh" Luisa screams as she crumples up the letter she just received in the mail from her grandfather.
"Was ist los?" Pieter comes running into the room. He picks up the paper from the floor and reads it. "oh wow" is all he can say before he plops down onto the couch next to Luisa.
"What am I going to do Pieter? I'm not ready to rule the Empire, I'm only 28 for Christ sake, my grandfather was 40 when he took over. Why did my brothers have to abdicate and leave me as the sole heir." Luisa curls up next to her best friend, "why did my parents have to die in that plane crash? Father would be taking over and I could continue to live my life. I know my brothers only abdicated because they aren't ready and don't want to be emperor. Obviously I don't get a choice in the matter." She fights back her tears
"I'll marry you Luisa, that way you won't be alone through all of this." Pieter kisses the top of her head soothing her.
"If only you could Pieter but if you continued reading I have to produce a legitimate heir within 5 years of me taking over the empire. And as you well know that is not possible between the two of us." Luisa sits up wiping her face off. "that means the child cannot be born out of wedlock and since we both just happen to have the same reproductive organs that will not work even if I were to be attracted to guys."
"Well guess we will have to do some consort scouting while in the United States for that victory tour we landed since them Bellas blew the chance." Pieter stands and walks back towards his room to continue packing. "Or at least you can get laid." He laughs as he quickly closes his door as a pillow from the sofa comes flying at him.
Luisa heads back to her room and finishes up her packing. She thinks that this will be her last hooray so she better make the best of it before she is forced to be the ruler of an entire empire.
