SSF: Good day, hello to you all, so...I changed my mind on the fillers, I just want to finish this. So for this chapter we are introducing the royalty and describing them. After wards the next chapters of the Card Festivals are going to be about the events, then after wards you have the final dance and the epilog. In the mean time I'm going to be working on my Knights of the Old Republic fanfic, I will be doing two versions of it, so be on the look out for that. (side note: I FINALLY FINISHED THE SECOND GAME! NOW I HAVE TO BEAT THE FIRST ONE!)

Ah news: Season Five of Hetalia is out, and Detour is around the bend, so if you're going to Anime Detour on April 19-21 I hope to see you all there,

Chances of using Tori might depends if I feel like doing another self-insert, but he's originally for roleplaying with my friends, he wasn't supposed to be used fandom wise. I will still use him in some of my works, so be on the look out for him. However there will be a chance I will be working on my own content and not fanfiction wise, what am I going to do? I don't know just yet, I have a new character in making, so for now, I'm using this site to try and improve on my characters and writing. If anyone thinks I should do something with a specific Character do let me know.

Also I've been viewing my stats for this fanfic, I'm surprised it got a lot of views from all over the globe. I applaud you all.

Chapter 26

The festival of the Cards was today, everyone had worked themselves to the bone to make it possible, Arthur Kirkland was with the other royals of the the day and adjusted the crown on his head, he was the Queen of Spades of the festival, he looked to the others and their royal design and smiled. A teacher came in to make sure all twelve students; King, Queen, and Jacks, were ready before motioning them to the grand hall where the welcoming was.

Everyone, even people who weren't a part of the academy were there, this was the one time the school would be opened to the public. Which was fine because this was one of the ways the school got it's funding, as well as some other ways, soon enough a soft song was playing through the surround sound speakers;

"Imagine a room where the flowers they bloom through the cracks in the floor and the ceiling.
Just you and the Missus, and rose scented kisses,
My what a wonderful feeling"

Arthur's head perked up, true the song was originally by the Plain White T's but the person singing this for the opening of the festival was someone he knew dearly. It dawned on him, Tori.
"That boy just finds new ways to surprise me" he said to himself. He smiled a bit and listened as his lover performed the opening song.

"Welcome everyone to the Festival of the Cards, Please, give a warm welcome to our first kingdom; a kingdom of Arts and entertainment; The Kingdom of Diamonds" As Tori introduced the kingdom, two people holding a banner that was of a pink background and a golden diamond in the center of the banner. He waited until the two made it to the center of the room before introducing the royalty;

"Presenting his royal highness, King Francis Bonnefoy," he said, watching as the flamboyant Frenchman, came walking down the west wing of the school in a white dress shirt with a bit of a ruffled fur piece on the collar, he had a dark pink almost violet cloak on, his crown was of circular design with arches of jewels, mostly with a crown like that, they'd have a cross or the french-twist, or whatever that design is, but instead of those two it had a diamond in place. His pants were of a golden hue, and white boots adorned with gold straps were presented. Francis did a gentleman like bow and blew a kiss to a random female in the audience before taking his spot to the right, saving room for the Queen and Jack.

"Introducing, The ever beautiful diamond of the kingdom, Queen Lillian Zwingli" Tori announced, watching the young girl walk down with grace. Her dress was knee length with a train behind her, almost as if she was walking down the aisle for her wedding. The dress was of a bright pink, adorned with rhinestones around the sweetheart neckline, ruffles covered the bottom for if she were to twirl it would give the ballerina look. The crown wasn't as big and out there like Francis, instead it was a simple round giving her a modest look. She wore white stockings and golden ballet flats as well as golden gloves, in all respect, she had more of an appearance for a princess rather than a Queen. Lillian took her spot by Francis after curtsying to the guests with a soft and gentle smile.

"Finally, let's give a warm welcome to their faithful adviser, The Jack of Diamonds, Vash Zwingli" And just like that, Vash came walking down with a clipboard and a calligraphy pen, his outfit was of a white shirt and pink vest white pants and gold shoes. He didn't have anything distinctive about him, other than the hat on his head with a pink feather coming out. Once the Diamond party made their appearance, they took a bow and welcomed the guests before heading to the thrones near the stairs of the north wing. Letting the next royalty to come down to greet the attendees.

"Alright everyone, now please give a warm welcome to the next kingdom. This kingdom is also known as the Winter Wonderland of the kingdoms. With it's rich history, and beautiful sunrises, this place can't be beat that easily. Donning the signature color of Green and onyx, let's hear it for The Clubs Kingdom!" Tori said excitedly as the crowd began to cheer, as the two banner people came down with Green banners and black clubs.

"First up, is his royal highness of Clubs himself, the tough and gentle, King Ivan Braginski!" Tori presented the king as he descended from the north wing into the walkway. He was wearing a traditional Russian garb (designed with green clubs) with traditional green cape, small hat of the same color, and a spear in his hand to show his force. He walked down with the well known cute, but twisted smile on his face. Around his neck was a chained necklace with a club in the center instead of his natural scarf he wore all the time, black gloves covered his hands, and on his waist was a holster for a weapon, but instead of a gun, or sword, it was his infamous bloodied tap.

"Presenting the tough beauty that is her majesty the queen of clubs, Queen Elizaveta Herdevary!" Elizaveta walked down with grace from the north entrance, wearing a simple but elegant green ballgown that reached to her calves with clubs making the edges of the gown. She's wearing black boots with lace straps,, and green stockings, upon her gown were crystals, as well as a black glittered sash around her waist. In her hair was a green club, instead of the usual flower, the club sparkled with emeralds, all in all, she was glowing like an emerald herself.

"And last, but certainly not least, their musically talent adviser, The Jack of Clubs, Roderich Edelstein!" Roderich arrived with much more elegance than the other two combined. He's wearing usual jacket, but in green, unlike the normal color of navy blue, light green pants, and black dress shoes. In his hand are music sheets from different composers. He fixed his glasses and made his way to the others. They took their bows (while the queen curtsied), and made their way to their thrones.

"As well as History and Art, this next kingdom is proud of their military, walking down the aisle adorning Red and White, The Kingdom of Hearts!" The two banner holders came down with the hearts banner, white banners with red hearts in the center. Once they took their place Tori began the Hearts announcement.

"Presenting the Strong heart, King. The man who puts his subjects in mind as well as his kingdom; King Ludwig Beilschmidt." Ludwig walked down in a White frock shirt, red cloak behind him, his crown looked almost like a military helmet. And in his hand, instead of a scepter, was a sword with the hilt adorned with rubies and diamonds. His piercing blue eyes full of seriousness as he walked down the east wing, and into the center. He had the appearance of a king and a general.

"Next up is his loyal and honorable queen. He refrains from speaking most of the time and loves sushi. Queen Kiku Honda!" The crowd made giggles and chuckles as Kiku ascended down the east wing. He was wearing a traditional Japanese kimono of the colors dark and light red, and red sandals. In his hand are cherry blossoms that are treasured in his culture, as well as a katana was also strapped to the hilt on the waist. The crown upon his head was of a traditional Japanese Emperor,

"And lastly, we have the bubbly, cheeeful, but sometimes fearful Jack. You all know him, and you all love him. The Jack of Hearts himself, Feliciano Vargas!" Feliciano cheerful came down the east wing waving the flag of Hearts instead of his normal white flag. He was wearing a read and white traditional Italian garb with white stockings designed with red heart. He waved to the crowd as he finally reached his best friends.

"Let's give another round of applause for the Hearts Kingdom!" The crowd went as wild as they did when Clubs and Diamonds came into view. Tori smiled as the three kingdoms were presented. All that was left was the Spades Kingdom, his favorite kingdom of all.

"And finally, we have saved the best for last; The noble kingdom of Silver and Blue, a Kingdom known for their elegant social gathering. The Spades Kingdom" As the crowd cheered, a set of silver banners with a blue spade came walking down the south wing taking their stand in the center stage. Tori smiled as he read the royalties off;

"Welcoming, our kind heart king, who does put his heart in the right place for his loyal subjects and for his friends. Give it up for King Alfred Jones" As Tori read Alfred's introduction, the king came walking down in a blue suit and tie, a silver crown decorated with sapphires resting upon his head, a spade shaped clock resting in his pocket a silver ring on his middle finger and a gun in his holster (not to worry, the bullets are blanks). His shoes were of bright silver, almost as if they were sparkling like Dorothy's from the Wizard of Oz. Once he made it to the center, he flashed a smile to the audience earning more of a cheer.

"Next, our beloved Queen, a gentleman at heart and a spitfire when it comes to Diamonds, please welcome; Queen Arthur Kirkland" Tori had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing. He couldn't picture Arthur as a queen, a King maybe but never a Queen! He smiled as his lover walked down in a blue and silver suit, silver gloves covered his hands, just like the king, he had a ring on his middle finger, only of sapphire, and a spades clock in his pocket. He didn't have any weapons like the other queens, but he made up for it with magic, which he flaunted by making special images for the guests earning aww's of astonishment. Arthur's pants were of silver, and in place for boots, were blue ankle high boots that shone like sapphires. His crown was a blue hat that set on the side of the head and had a silver lace coming down giving him a vale appearance. He took a gentleman bow to the guest and stood by his king.

"And now we bring you the man who may look young, but has years of experience and knowledge underneath his belt. The Jack of Spades himself, Wang Yao!" The Chinese walked down wearing dark and light colored blue traditional Chinese outfit. His weapon a choice? A fan and a small knife. While you may laugh, thinking what's a small fan going to do against someone, you better hope you never find out.

"Let's hear it for the Spades Kingdom!" The crowd cheered once more as the suits of Spades bowed and made their way to their thrones. "Alright everyone! Let the Cards Festival officially begin!" And with that, the crowd made their way to the four kingdoms.
