There were days
Peter wished he could pick and choose his trips abroad, sadly though they had a habit of choosing him and this one was a case in point, he was Emperor of Achkaerin but thanks to the actions of his grandfather that now came with a hereditary title bestowed by Vanora and this being a Christian related title sort of meant he had to occasionally show up at these things. Still it wasn't all bad it gave him the chance to spend time with one of his cousins
Ashleigh Whitaker, the sole Christian in the Azurewind family. Peter didn't like that he didn't get as much time with his family as he would like despite being a very family orientated man. Rounding out the group were the Archbishop of Ashwood
Martin Deed and Martin's daughter
Kathryn, both of whom appeared glad to get out of Achkaerin for a bit and in Kathryn's case to not have politics on her mind for a while.
When they arrived they got out of their car and Peter chuckled to himself
"The architect must have visited Valtheim when designing this place." he said
"Possibly." Martin said, Ashleigh was busy looking up at the decorative features so much so that she didn't hear another car arrive and then she tripped but despite the half scream she didn't hit the ground as a
man caught her.
"Are you alright Miss?" the man asked
"Er...Yes I think so." Ashleigh replied "Thank you."
"My pleasure madam." the man said then he noticed Peter "Ah the Cyborg Emperor and defender of Christendom himself."
"Please don't." Peter muttered
"Your Majesty." the man said
"Your Grace." Peter said coming over and shaking the man's hand with his artificial one
"Used to the arm?" the man asked
"I barely notice it anymore." Peter said
"Have you and your lovely fiancee set a date yet?" the man asked
"Not yet no." Peter said
"I'll see you inside." the man said, with a smile and a nod he headed inside the basilica
"Who was that?" Ashleigh asked
"That dear cousin was David Aragon the Duke of Vanora." Peter said
"And I nearly flattened him." Ashleigh said
"May I suggest we head inside?" Martin asked
"Good idea." Peter said "After all there's someone you're eager to catch up with isn't there?"
"Quite Your Majesty." Martin said
The four headed for the entrance.
