(Amber City) Princess Alexis of Amber who bore Rory a Lovechild, is now back in the arms of her favourite redhead and is expecting a secret tryst with him in his plantation where he plans to give her fifty Mumakan slaves as a gift. She was scene primping herself before Court where Laird Carlton is expected to vist but is actually going gaga over the fact that her beloved Rory is in attendance. She has been planning to decorate Rory's flagship, The Cormorant with peonies, pansies, and petunias because in the ancient Kolvirii tongue, Rory is spelled with the letter P. The sad part is that Rory has not even noticed the lovestruck princess as he is too busy doting on his Cheetah Mrrr Dover. Rory gave Dover five hundred slaves as a Yule Solstice Present. Last year, Princess Alexis arrested two gossipping servants and tore them from the palace and made them work in her dungeon mopping floors because they talked about her love child that is hidden in Haven for safety.

Exthian Love Triangle

While Exthian is burning peasants' hovels with the thoroughness of the Rolandae navy conduction training exercizes on Bronze Age shadows, and leaving them starving in caves for winter, the thoughts of two Princesses of Amber is anything but his politcs. Princess Aura and Princess Breyd have been following the black haired prince with a great deal of obvious interest. Aura has been setting aside her stalking of Julian Benedict Gerard Caine and Bleys in favour of shamelessly trying to ambush Exthian and take him off to her bed chamber. However her ambitions are thwarted by the determined redheaded powerhouse, Breyd who has been sharing caves in Exthian's wasteland County in order to share his sleeping bag. All the palace is a twitter over this new love triangle and how things will play out in Court.

Scherazade Uncle Stalker?

It has been a roller coaster year for Amber's Princess Scherazade who has been rolicking from one catastrophic disaster and like a phoenix rising new and unblemished. However her latest interest is most disturbing as she has been hounding after Prince Bleys with a determination to make Aura resemble a nun. She took to hounding Bleys, sleeping by his door, sending him 459 gifts in a two week period and trying to roll herself up in a carpet to be smuggled into him a la Cleopatra. She has been thwarted each time by the determinely grim Princess Fiona, who has taken steps to ensure that Scherazade was delivered to none other, than King Jason of Neuvo Sangre at Sycophants and Recreants Court of Punishment! It is reported that Queen Claudine was very jealous and Count Davis was ordered to keep her away from the King who looks much like his father/uncle Bleys. Queen Jasra's Jason's mother said that Scherazade would never do for Jason because her grandfather is a lowblood Caine though she admitted that her grandmother, Princess Royal Swayvanna of Thelbane had a lot of nice high quality Royal Blood.

Breyd Jealous of Rory

When she found out that Exthian may be leaving her for Aura, Breyd fell into a terrible epic rage in Amber Castle smashing everything and even causing an explosion in Rory's room in revenge for his affection for Dover. She never considered Alexis a real thread. Lately when Rory showed up with Dover and a box of chocolate for her with a huge shipment of catnip for Dover the Mrrr Cheetah, unfortunately, the door seems closed tightly. When Rory knocks, he hears Breyd's raw voice, muffled through the door, bidding whoever it is to "F--- OFF!" There's a tell-tale tray of food left untouched near her door. It's gone cold. A poem was found written by her to Rory:

"Love is a smoke raised with the fumes of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being Vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,

A choking gall and a preserving sweet.

Laszlo Pimping Sister for Senate Seat!

Will the mechanizations of these Amberites never cease! Princess Aura is sent on a mission by Laszlo to win over Speaker of the Koronande Senate, Si Maelstrom. Si Maelstrom bought a new pair of robin's egg silk Thelbane made blue pyjamas from Pearl's trading company. Laszlo a well known lover of the fat Pearl, has arranged for Aura to become the royal mistress to the rapacious Si. He turned down Princess Jada because he did not like her being a Harbourmaster when Rory offered her to him. Sabine turned him down when Laszlo offered her as a two some with Princess Alexis. Si thought Alexis was just too tall for the 5 7" Senator. However with Laszlo getting a free Senate seat after he reputedly killed his predecessor the Kiriani human Zolo Hahn along with the Demon Lesh Y at a cafe in Koronande. One hopes that Aura has good birthcontrol as Oberon would not like offspring from that union.

Sabine and Constantine?

Is Princess Sabine abandoning her poor Rathorn, that flesh eating horned brute in favour of Amber's red headed Harry Potter? Three servants told NMS reporters that rather than compete for Laszlo, Exthian or Rorie, Princess Sabine is quietly working on a relationship with Prince Constantine. She has told several noblewomen that Constantine's tower is very isolated and private and the she could slip in and out without her nosy bitch cousins seeing her. Princess Sabine was disgusted with the orgy that Laszlo and Si Maelstrom held and she left with her honour intact. Something unheard of for Koronande house parties!

Zariya To Steal Rathorn to give to Colmar!

While Princess Sabine to steal off to see Constantine and his gadgets, Princess Zariya when not harrassing her neice/cousin Scherazade is smuggling Sabine's mount, the rare Rathorn to give to Colmar in exchange for a secret non aggression pact between Thelbane and Acquitania. One wonders if there is a tryst between the austere and severe Zariya and the dour and prudish Colmar. With Colmar's elite demon guards and former Duchy of Western Marches liverymen guarding for reporters, Jeddi and Mecklenbergs, it is hard to get further information what is going on behind closed doors.

Laszlo and Scherazade Plot to Annex Ygg

While no love is blooming, these two conspirators have been plotting against the Great Powers Council to overthrow Queen Tabitha and replace her with the dual monarchs Laszlo and Scherazade who will have a marriage of conveneince. While battling the Haven Ygg Sector Commission: (Sean, Nimue, Moira and assisted by Stephen) and the Mecklenbergs, Linchester, Thelbane, Jason, Carlton and Tabitha with her backers: Heidi and Charlie Von Mecklenberg, this quiotic duo plan to then conquer all Creation and give every baby a new oldsmobile!

Balaam asks to be Ambassador to Harmony

With the GPC actively plotting to overthrow the People's Gynarchial Republic of Harmony and replace Comrade D with either Princess Aurora or Prince Spencer, Princess Sabine is plotting to kill Balaam, the Appointments Secretary to King Oberon. King Oberon has been asked by the less than brave, Balaam for a temporary position to represent Amber to Comrade D and her politiburo and to see how to bugger up the GPC plotters. It is not certain what Oberon's decision will be though a poll of palace staff and elders said that they would set up a catapult long enough to send the hunchbacked hack to Harmony or anywhere within Creation.

Mecklenbergs Set up Secret Order to Combat Jeddi

While the customary denials are out there, another secret Mecklenberg agency with a massive amount of patronage appointments and nepotism took place to find work for Reinhard's unemployable purebred brats. King Reinhard denied this at a recent press conference with the asking reporter being threatened by five black wolves in tow. Rumours include a secret arrangement with Bances and the ultra conservatives as well as the customary alliances with the unsavoury rightwing reactionary and fascist elements of Creation. The name of the anti Jeddi Order is, not surprisingly, the Sithe, with a thirteen member Surpreme Council, unelected but made up all of Reinhard's stupid blond illiterate, ritual happy progency. it is expected that luxury rooms will be built for the twenty six odd fat gravy slurping taco snarfing black wolves that follow Reinhard's kids and stick their snouts into people's crotches to test for Jeddi membership!

Secret Thulist Society in Harmony

Naturally when moderates were all killed in the Harmony Revolution, the hard core Swayvillists and followers of Mordred's murdered martyred brother Mosley, fled into private shadows and into Nullzone Rocks of Creation inside Harmony. With the Revolutionary Command of Comrade D having the collective brains of an overweight wombat on grass, this new group has been able to wander in and out of Revolutionary Harmony and has been contacting foreign governments and is working to overthrow the Revolution and make Harmony into a Jeddi hating, fascist Swayvillist regime in league with Adamant and Trinity. Rumours are that the Grand Master of Thule - they were granted the right to use the name since Art changed mainline Thule to Adamant, claims a succession through Mosley to Osric and this has been backed up by Osric himself at a topsecret rally of rightwing hoodlums and outofwork reactionaries. Naturally the Order of the White Council and the Grand Sovereign Order of Adamant are jealous and annoyed as each consider themselves to be Thule as do several dozen renegade Black Thule organizations. The Thule movement in Harmony was recognized by King Reinhard in a recent ceremony in Trinity's Foreign Embassy where he was made an honourary Knight Commander of Thule. King Art on the other hand did not get anything and was NOT invited! A day later, Thule was recognized as an independent Sovereign Order by Trinity and was accorded an Embassy and staff. Thule was given huge amounts of Trinity Money and Arms to wage war in Harmony, put in a pro Swayvillist KING, and to prevent pro Art factions from taking power. They were also given some Black wolves to detect and kill Jeddi. Thule in delight, banned the Jeddi from its territory and promised to extradite all Jeddi to Reinhard's pet farms.
