"Guten tag, fraulein Sandecker"
"Your Imperial Majesty, It is good of you give me a tour of the palace, today. Call me, Heather."
"Please come in, Heat’er."
"Ta palace was build in 1990 from ta shell of a palace guard barracks."
"Really? I thought the monarchy here in Neu Rheinland dated back to about 1770?"
"Ja, in 1767, ta first Prince,
Fürst Raymond, was sent to govern what was a joint Hanoverian-Prussian colony by ta
Kaiser of ta
Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation. In 1968, ta Crumblebottom
Teufelfrau overthrew both ta monarchy und ta democratic government. The original palace und ta barracks were destroyed in ta furor ."
"And in 1987, you restored the democracy. Is it true that you're head of Social Democratic Party in Neu Rheinland, Sir?"
"Ja, de jure."
“T’is is my public office, Heat’er. According to the 1990 constitution, ta Kaiser has executive power in Neu Rheinland. In tis office, I attend to ta business of government. Despite what ta Vespucian Federacy says, I am not a ruler. In my heart, I am a servant of Neu Rheinland.”
“T’is the private living room. My son, the
Prinz Raymond…”
“und meine liebe, ta
Kaiserin, Helena von Schneider. We will finish ta tour, Heat’er, t’en all of us will talk.”
“Ta Dining room, last month Helena und I entertained ta Cartierian Prime Minster und his wife in here.”
“T’is is the t’rone room. Heather, I greet new ambassadors und consuls here to review t’eir credentials. Und on a occasion, foreign leaders.”
“The Tiger isn’t your family symbol, is it Sir?”
“Nein, ta eagle
vappenschild, vhat is ta frase…”
“Coat of Arms?”
“Tat is it, Heat’er. Ta coat of Arms tapestries are being cleaned.”
“T’is my daughter, Jessica’s room, she is at college.”
“Which college, Sir?”
“Ta Military Academy in Fürstinhaven, Heat‘er.”
“Is she dating Grethe Neilsen, the movie star and how would it affect her acceding to the throne?”
“Ja, I believe she is dating Grethe. Eine gute fraulein, nicht so gut actress. My successor is elected from among my children by popular vote of ta people. Neu Rheinland loves Gerthe, so I vould say it is very likely Jessica maybe ta next kaiserin, but do not quote me.”
“You like the view from here, Heat’er?”
“T’is is ta
Imperiale bed chamber, I do not think it is appropriative to show you it…”
“That is fine, Sir.”
