It was then seem with just their Mother left to take upon herself leading their noble house. That with age slowly catch up on her that the two twins figured. That it was time that they too shared in the upkeep and responsibility. To which with his sister take care of much that which needed be done at home front. That Andulf relegated himself to take care of those need be dealt abroad. Of which after the recent return and attendance of the Noble house gathering.

That Andulf then requested to set up a private meeting with the current Queen of Organa leadership of Alderaan. In order to secure if anything a formal accord with them and reassure them that despite the most recent turmoil within the houses. That House Teraan was to remain faithful and loyal to their cause....


And so with carefully forwarded arranged request he sent over. That in time he got a reply and an invite to a meet with the reign Queen. Which he gladly complied to follow up on and make his way to.....

 

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna arranged to meet the Count of House Teraan after all no request for audience went unanswered and many were seeking audience to discuss what could happen on Alderaan now that they were no longer under the influence of the Republic.

House Teraan was no different. Quietly she waited in the parlor it was easier to hold meetings here, and helped visitors to relax more than the throne room. As much as that room held power she preferred this room, its simplicity appealed most to her.

Her aide came in and told her that he was here, she nodded for her to show him in.

It was then that no sooner had he arrived that he was soon met by one the Queen aid. Who then no sooner usher him in past the pair of royal guards station at the entrance. Which on all account seem to have caught his attention as the words of his father echo in back his mind. One which he did his earnest to instill in him even when he was far off in Boarding school. That of which the world around them was changing and like it or not they all best adapt. Learn from the past and make sure to keep forged alliance strong no matter what....for in life he believed in honor and truth above all other gains.

But then so as the passed the halls and he assume the meet would occur in the throne room. As his mother had lead him believe as two talk before he left. For being away as far long he'd have and brought up in the tradition of old. That when the guide turn a corner instead of forward he thought feel a bit unsure followed. Head towards one the side parlors he was then lead thru one the doors were standing there. He came see the queen and Andulf with the utmost respect waited on the sideline as he was then introduced to the queen.

"Your majesty, Count Andulf Teraan of House Teraan" Arianna stood there for a moment looking over the young man before her he was old enough to be one of her sons, she smiled at him as the usher bid him to go forward and meet her.

Some of the nobility stood on the side of caution when meeting with her unsure of her mood, unsure if they were received in friendship or with distant regard. Arianna knew nothing of House Teraan as of late so it was hard to know how to greet Count Teraan. But she was to meet with all Houses to learn what they needed and to get to know them. This would be the first of many meetings.

"Count Teraan come in" the Queen invited him in.

"Your majesty, Count Andulf Teraan of House Teraan"

It was then that no sooner had he'd been ushered into the room and his name announce that Andulf. That he'd had take a moment pause once inside as he glance around. For although most his life he'd been meticulously groomed on the protocols and tradition of what was expected of him . As both the heir apparent and Count of House Teraan it made things no less easy. To be handed the responsibility and leadership now after his long isolation of having been sent off to the academy learn. Not to mention given the state of affairs and standing of those that was left of their House. Given all the current events and strife that had befell both the Republic at large and Alderaan itself.

But just the same after composing himself he then proceed to walk forward. And come to stand before the queen as he waited for her speak.

"Count Teraan come in."

And respond back accordingly as he could that he gave a respectful bow then followed by appropriate greeting as his mother instructed him to.

"Thank you your majesty......for accommodatie the meet on such short notice. As given the state of things both within our house and Alderaan as a whole. That i felt it best meet with you as show of appreciation and support to Royal House of Organa."

 

[Arianna Organa]

"The Royal House of Organa thanks you, is that all that you've come to say?"

Had she just given up her morning for an atta girl? she looked quizzically at the Count a brief looking over of what she could find on the house is that this was the heir, and as an heir he would one day bear the title of Duke as leader of his House. So she understood why he would feel it necessary to come and say they supported the throne.

But he could have sent that in a message, so why come all the way into New Aldera?

Arianna smiled, and waited.

"The Royal House of Organa thanks you, is that all that you've come to say?"

He then hears her respond to which at best even without words he sort sense. Frow way she looked at him....smile and appear waited patiently. That at best it would seem that she'd no less knew....how seem superficial as it was at best not really his own words. But something house advisers had suggested to him send as part the latest royal correspondence. One which had been all but standard protocol instituted within the family which he had seem been bound to continue. As part of what he'd been advised on was part his duty which he had get into the habit of. Seeing that time would soon come that he eventually had take up his place. As heir and Duke of the household...but just the same being his own man. Thought seem so young and youthful to most.

Andulf or Andi as his twin sister seem teasingly call him turn round and spoke. In a calm yet straightforward manner.....seeing as much he'd rather not admit it. There seem been too much of his father in him...the man who despite his stature in society cared very deeply about his people...land and family. That in his youth his father had been know been quite the people person....placing more value in the person themselves about whatever rank or stature they were. cite honor or respect was something earn not simply given to him when they last met before his demise. At which time composing himself he turn speak to her.

"...not quite your highness you see. I've been away far too long and since my return i've been told or heard quite few things about what had transpired....about the wars...conflict....and feel though i don't quite know or assume know how to ask. But rather would wish take time to least ask anyway.....know first hand situation and be able speak freely with your majesty face to face rather than thru correspondence. "

"Well then Count Teraan ask your questions that you need answered and I will answer for you. House Organa has nothing to hide, and feels that an open and honest relationship with all the other houses is the best course of action"

She smiled, she wasn't trying to be intimidating but she did want to have it understood that time was always precious and that somethings such as a greeting could be handled in other ways. But. If he had questions on what had transpired on Alderaan than by all means he needed to ask.

"Well then Count Teraan ask your questions that you need answered and I will answer for you. House Organa has nothing to hide, and feels that an open and honest relationship with all the other houses is the best course of action"

Came her reply with smile upon her face which Andulf with a careful yet respectful demeanor acknowledged. And take moment contemplate what say next for what it's worth he was never the diplomatic of the two twins. For in that aspect it was his sister that was the politician....while he for the most part rather spend his time tending the land and being outdoors. Which was why for the most part he believe things turn out way it did. Which he for the most part was ok with seeing her take the mantle while he was away. But then again with state she was in deal with her loss it seem things changed. And for most part he seem doing fine with handling things within their House. Thought it was deal with those outside ...the other noble house or such that well was find a hard time with. As with the after effects of the wars and conflicts that happen while he was away. That was make things bid difficult for him as being away most what he knew or heard transpired had been from other account. And not so much from anyone who had actually been there or anyone he trust enough or knew well.

To which given the long history between the Organa's and Teraan's whom had faithfully served under their reign for generation. He figured it be best to hear it straight from her whom for the most part had been in the center of most it.

"Well your highness if i may speak freely..... i would have hope nothing less myself . Hope be able conduct open and honest relation with the other house. Though i couldn't quite help notice a few not so familar face in the recent gathering. Along with what i've been informed regarding the Republic or what seem be left of it.....Mandalorian involvement in recent event...thought have nothing against them or such. It's just i'm not quite sure make of it all as i've got no less than vague understanding about the whole thing. Thought i would want hear from you about it.....though the past is the past it would no less carry some weight in future that yet to come...."

It was then he pause leave her moment reply.....as for what its worth Andi didn't mean any disrespect just desired understand. In order decide for himself what best course of action to take. Now that with their mother aging and his sister no less having take a brief leave for herself. It would be most likely up to him deal with things for most part.

 

[Arianna Organa]

"So you want to know who is new on Alderaan, why the mandalorians are here, and what our status is with the Republic, is that right Count?" Arianna smiled she hoped she was catching the intent of the Count's questions, he seemed nervous.

He wanted an explanation from House Organa.

She had known that questions would come, she just wasn't from who all the questions would come from. House Teraan was the first to send someone even though they agreed to stand behind the crown, they did so out of obligation not of understanding. Very well.

"So you want to know who is new on Alderaan, why theMandalorianss are here, and what our status is with the Republic, is that right Count?"

He then hears her reply back to him with a faint smile on her face. Which on all account sort eased his mind later on of worries and hint of nervousness he felt earlier. For if nothing else although he'd been taught and train well by his father along with countless tutors in his lifetime. In regards to how best to conduct himself in such situation along with most the protocols. It had been his first time have done so on his own without his father at his side. And such his absence had all too been missed. For now, it seems the burden and responsibility of taking his place as Count of their house had fallen onto him. At any rate, And with that if not for her smile along with kind accommodating demeanor. Had he found the will push on if not for their family but also their noble house. He then turns towards her to response.

"Yes your highness, for it seems since my return much had changed. To which, to be honest with you......I am still try come to terms with. And with the task of having soon taken over the duties . Knowing and hearing it directly from your highness would be most appreciate.

For if nothing else my father spoke highly of the royal house of Organa. How in the past one had come broker the accord that stemed the trouble between ours and another house in the past? So it is with same faith and trust I come before your highness now. .....for even though I may be young I would at best wish to continue that which my father had. Continue the peace and prosperity of not only of our house but of Alderaan as a whole."

 

[Arianna Organa]

"peace and prosperity may not go hand in hand Count Teraan. Even now the Sith sit not many parsecs away from us, a twist of fate would bring them back to Alderaan. We attempted to get a protector from the Sith, but the Republic would not let us have it. We have achieved our neutrality but now we must look again to build forces, and find a protector. The mandalorians may not come back. The rewards of being able to build a station here on Alderaan dwindled."

Arianna kept her composure calm she was just explaining, "I don't really know what you expect to hear. You want to know what you can do, rebuild your estates, trade with those who will trade with you, find a way to make Alderaan stronger. This will help Alderaan."

She picked up a cup, "Does your family have a business in mind?"

The Mandalorians may not come back. The rewards of being able to build a station here on Alderaan dwindled."

She then came reply him as he in turn intently listens though in the back his mind his father words seem to echo ever so clearly. Much it would be when his fist heard it....those time long ago. To which he kept silent while she continued on speak soon after a brief pause.

"I don't really know what you expect to hear. You want to know what you can do, rebuild your estates, trade with those who will trade with you, find a way to make Alderaan stronger. This will help Alderaan."

At which time with a faint nod he in turn replied.

"...well, to be honest, i expected nothing less to hear it straight from your highness. For in a way it was father dream ...peace and prosperity...however much it eluded him .And now that I know or have seen the lay of the land so to speak for myself. It would help greatly ..."

 

[Arianna Organa]

Arianna wasn't sure what to say, "it is my hope that by falling under the protectorate of the Mandalorians that we can prevent the One Sith from invading our home again. They are known to be fierce warriors, and my daughter will be marrying one of them to help seal the bonds between Alderaan and Mandalore further."

Arianna was quiet, "while we have built up our defenses, and we have enough that we might be able to fight them on our own. I think we need more, we are still rebuilding from the removal of the vong forming. They will not interfere with how we run Alderaan they will be here to protect us"

She nodded, "Does this help you?"

He then heard her say to which keen interest he'd listen. For even thought he wasn't relly one for politics and governance as much his twin sister was. It seems with the state of things he no less had to....if not for the family or his sister stake but that of their people.
"while we have built up our defenses, and we have enough that we might be able to fight them on our own. I think we need more, we are still rebuilding from the removal of the vong forming. They will not interfere with how we run Alderaan they will be here to protect us"
She then adds seem unsure perhaps of his intention as she then ends by saying.
"Does this help you?"
To which he then replied back.

" Ver much, as I do apologize for seem to have asked.....but governance and state affairs had never been my strong point as it had been with commerce or trade if I may be so bold to say. As much as it had been my sisters.....but given the state of things, i may as well have to. pick up where she'd left off. "

He then with a side glance at her then adds.

"...I guess as father once said. If not for the people and their welfare our duty lies...."
