Despite all the pomp, pageantry, ceremony and celebration, the coronation of this particular Achkaerinese Empress did come with additional baggage, not significantly heavy baggage but baggage nonetheless this was owing to
Serenity's dual positions not only was she Achkaerin's newly crowned Empress but she was the Queen of Revana, the latter being a ceremonial position but it painted a very specific image but it wasn't that which had the potential for complications further down the line, no that would come in eight years time when her daughter Astrid took the throne in Revana. Knowing about those issues meant that the need for preparation had to be made. The advantage Serenity had was that Revana's main players were either family or practically family at this point. Within the Marble Palace she had many sanctuaries whether it be her garage, the library or where she presently was - the games room, home to many board games and tables among them a pool table, it wasn't the one that had sat in the Secretary Generals office at the Palace of Nations during her tenure there, that one lived at Commonwealth House, but that one was special in many different ways this one was what would be termed normal.
Serenity was just hitting the balls around for fun when Evelyn walked in "I feel like we just got thrown into an entire situation we aren't even ready for." Serenity said "Eight years and it's going to be Astrid on Revana's throne and then we're walking into a minefield of issues and we both know what that day's going to mean, preparing for it is something we're going to need to think about especially how my position may be viewed now. It's going to be a challenge are you up for this?"
