Here is a quick insert I wrote a while back for this, but didn't get a chance to enter it. I haven't found a first name given to Lilliana's grandfather anywhere in the LN's but if someone finds it please let me know so I can change it here.
Paolo Blandelli was sitting in the conference room at the Order of the Copper Black Cross' main offices. On the table in front of him were letters from his niece Erica, that had arrived by mail magic a couple of days ago. After receiving it he had called, all the major magic associations in Europe. Now he was waiting nervously for the other attendees for this conference to arrive. He had received word that they were already in the building and making their way up to the conference room. Other than [The Purple Knight], [Old Dame], and the [Female Wolf], he had also invited Walter Zamparini of Palermo due to his personal experience with the current cast, as well as Saint Raefalla, due to her seniority as well as her acquaintance with Lilliana and Erica, and lastly the major rivals of the Copper Black Cross in Europe, The Bronze Black Cross. He had also sent invites to Lucretia Zola, and, even though he didn't want to, to the Wizengamot requesting for Princess Alice to attend. He knew she wouldn't attend physically, but expected her to attend in her other method.
Currently in the room with him were Gennaro Gantz and Clarens from his order. The other two knights had also been completely floored upon reading the letter. Clarens had started nearly panicking from the start between bouts of wanting to yell at someone. Paolo suspected it was probably his niece. Ever since Erica had left for Japan to be with Kusanagi Godou, Clarens had complained that the [Diavola Rossa]'s place was in Europe and not on the other side of the world. Gantz, however, found the entire incident highly amusing. Paolo suspected Gantz expected to see the title of [Diavola Rossa] to be passed on to him from this mess. Still the title was the least important thing that needed to be discussed.
At that time, there was a knock on the door and it was opened. The first ones to enter were [The Purple Knight], [Old Dame], and [Female Wolf]. They came in and seemed very curious about the abrupt summons, but nothing more. They made some perfunctory greeting and took seats along the sides of the conference table, neither far nor near the front. The next to enter was Walter Zamparini. He nodded briefly and looked a little pleased to be requested to this meeting. After that, Lucretia Zola came in and moved to the front of the table and sat down next to Gantz. While Gantz knew her age, he still eyed her body appreciatively, while Clarens scowled. The next group to enter were the members of the Bronze Black Cross. The main person of note in their group was the grandfather of Lilliana Kranjcar. He was not a happy man and was scowling at all around him. Paolo doubted that this meeting would sweeten his temper any and more than likely would make it worse. He probably guessed what it was about and that was what was causing him to look like he had sucked on some extremely sour lemons. The [Bronze Black Cross] group all took seats at the farthest end of the table.
"So Blandelli, what is the meaning of summoning us all here for this meeting?" Kranjcar complained angrily.
"I will explain as soon as all the attendees are present. We are still waiting for one more person." Paolo explained without rancor.
"And who would that be? That idiot Salvatore?" Kranjcar barked back at him.
Then from behind him, a quiet but commanding voice responded, "That would be me."
Princess Alice had entered the room. All those who had been seated immediately rose out of respect except Lucretia, who was smirking. Princess Alice immediately made her way to the front of the table and took the seat on Paolo's right, that had been left free for her.
"I have requested you all here to tell you all of a coming event that will shake the world of magic." Paolo begins. "Recently, many of you have become acquainted with the newest campione, Kusanagi Godou. As many of you know and due to the report of the assembly, my niece and current [Diavolo Rossa] has declared herself the lover of Kusanagi Godou. What others may not be aware of is that he has also attracted several other female knights and priestesses to his side." Paolo continued while not looking at the smirk of Lucretia Zora or the scowl on Lilliana's grandfather's face.
"What is now the situation, is that a few days ago, a mystic event took place where the girls that have sworn themselves to Kusanagi Godou and Kusanagi Godou were summoned in a dream state to meet with the Goddess Pandora in the astral plane. There, acting as the 'mother' of all campiones, Pandora gave a command to Kusanagi Godou to marry all 4 of the girls!" Paolo stopped and waited for the uproar.
As expected the room erupted. But curiously, the ones that seemed to be calm, were Lucretia, Princess Alice and of surprise Kranjcar. Paolo supposed that he had already heard it from Illiana. While the room was in an uproar, Princess Alice leaned over to Paolo and said quietly, "Actually she ordered him to marry all 5 girls." This left Paolo in a state of shock as he only knew of one other and that one was far to young by any standards.
After the room had quieted down once again, He resumed, "I have heard from my niece Erica that while Kusanagi was not exactly thrilled by this news, he was forced to admit that he did care greatly for all the girls, and since they were there when Pandora gave the command, has reluctantly agreed to the marriages."
In a very loud and belligerent voice Kranjcar shouted, "I object to this farce."
Princess Alice turned towards him and said quietly, "What pray tell do you object to?"
"I do not give my consent for my granddaughter marrying that man! She had already been given as a knight to Duke Voban."
Princess Alice looked at him with scorn, "So you are saying that you are going to go against the campione that defeated Duke Voban in their contest? Not to mention the wishes of Lord Savatore, and from my information, that would also put you in opposition to Her Eminence Lou Hao, who I have been informed is satisfied with this, and John Pluto Smith who is an ally of Kusanagi Godou? You must have much confidence to oppose such an array of Kings."
Kranjcar glared at Princess Alice, but kept his mouth shut. It was obvious to everyone that he had not realized the support that Kusanagi Godou had, even though it was known that Kusangai could oppose Duke Voban on his own.
"Now that that objection has been cleared away," Paolo Blandelli spoke into the insuing silence, "We should be discussing what all needs to be done. And also what problems we should forsee for this happening. This will be a major political as well as magical event. We need to be ready to work with world governments to accept this new situation and how to deal with keeping it from the non-magic people of the world."
Princess Alice spoke into the silence that follows, "We also should decide when and how to tell the other Kings of this development. While I do know that John Pluto Smith and Lou Hao are already informed, there are still Black Prince Alex, Salatore Doni, Lady Aisha, and Duke Voban. All will need to be informed eventually, but also when and how they should be informed is an important matter."
"Also, I am planning on leaving shortly for Japan since I am my nieces guardian, I will need to be present, but also to aid the Japanese magic association with interfacing with the European associations." Paolo explained.
The rest of the attendees quietly nodded while others were just plain shocked. An event of this magnitude was completely unprecedented in modern annals.
"I feel that until a decision is made, we shouldn't tell any of the other Kings at this time, but tell them all at the same time. While it is true that John Pluto Smith and Her Eminence Lou Hao already are aware of this, the others need not be informed at this time. It is unlikely that Prince Alec and Salvatore Doni will have any but a passing interest in it and probably will ignore it, and whether it will be possible to tell Lady Aisha at will will remain to be seen; but it is still imperative that we do not slight any of them by not at least attempting to tell them."
"So let's begin to get a handle on this situation." Paolo Blandelli to charge.
After the meeting, Lucretia Zolo approached Paulo and stated, "Kranjcar is going to find some way to tell Duke Voban."
"I figured that he would no matter what we said. However, I do not believe that the Duke will look favorably on the bearer of news he doesn't want to hear. I fear Sir Kranjcar may be signing his own death warrant or the death warrant of whomever he sends." Paolo stated regretfully.
"I think it would be best to tell Kusanagi Godou and Illiana so they can be first to tell the Duke. This would be best to keep Illiana from loosing a grandfather. And thus putting him in the position of having her loyalty to her chosen King tested." Lucretia suggested mildly.
"I agree. Also, Kusanagi Godou would feel responsible for her grandfather's death and might try to destroy Duke Voban to make up for it. And while I am sure he would able to do it, the destruction involved could be as much as several large cities." Paolo speculated on the damage that two Kings seriously going at each other could be.
"I will contact Mariya Yuri, and tell her, so she can tell Kusanagi Godou." Princess Alice added to the conversation. "It might be wise to try to find some way to stall Sir Kranjcar from leaving Milan at this time, so that proper time can be given to Kusanagi to tell him."
"Well there are many reasons to keep him here," Paolo said directly, "But whether he will stay or not is another matter." He immediately left to attempt to delay Kranjcar.
"So begins the happiness and despair of a King." Lucretia smirked.
