Across the nation of Aeros, news of the young master's marriage was announced. Soldiers flew from one village to another, spreading the word.
The nation's rehabilitation was almost complete, and Theo meant to celebrate it with the marriage of his son and Amanda.
From the great halls of Aeros' castle, Theo called for the two. The ruler of the land was sitting on his chair as he faced Amanda and Christopher. He said, "Your wedding will be in a month's time. That day, we will open the gates to other nations, inviting the rulers from other lands. We will let them know that Aeros is now a new nation, one with power and prosperity."
"Your marriage will be the symbol of power for Aeros - a nation not to be fumbled with. It is essential for them to recognize this so other nations will no longer look down on us!"
