"And what's today's story"

"Today's story is a bit of a shock as the U.S military along side with the UK have suddenly gathered on the western part of the U.S. Blocking the water ways for ships. It's not just American or British soldiers, no I'm being told that even Canada is getting Involved in these matters!"

"Oh. I'm being told that the military on all sides are looking outward towards the sea. Is Russia perhaps declaring war on the United States."

"No! I'm being told to switch to solar image. Ah, it appears as if a mass of land is being revealed."

DAILY MAIL

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is one of the most beautiful days as today, the people whom helped put a crown on the very first King of England is about to reveal themselves to the world. We do have our military embassy over there to greet them as they emerge from their cloaking barrier."

"From what we have seen from these solar images of the Earth, we can see that a land mass between America and Russia that stretch all the way to the north to the Philippines. Ah I take that back as we now see it's more of an archipelago as it has smaller land masses on the outer circle reaching far down as to Australia."

The Empire Of Lilian Broadcasting

"I think it's time to do so now." Capell said as he turned on the projector and stepping aside for the Imperial family to take charge.

"Ladies and gentlemen. As you can start to see and feel I and along with the rest of the Imperial family along with the Archduke Sinclair and Marquis Capell and of course the other members of royalty, are officially announcing the existence of the Empire of Lilian to the world. For those of whom know of our existence from text dating back even before your own time we would like to officially say that you are allowed to speak freely of the Empire as the Oath of Ferman is now lifted." Nicholas says as he continues his speech; "We have decided to hold a meeting for all international leaders to meet if they are willing to show, I'm hoping they show, as for international travel, that will not happen until one week from now. Till than I hope to see you. This is the Emperor Nicholas Whiteflame."

End of announcement.

"If we're done here I think I'll be going to my estate." Josh said as he began to walk towards the doors.

"Capell. Even though your a Marquis your the only one within the Empire. Besides your the only Capell family household though your the fifth cousin to the previous lord, none of the others will leave the family and have chosen to stay within that household and serve as solders under the Capell name. Josh Capell, you have been given the title of Marquis on request of all members of the Capell bloodline and are equal to that of a king within our Empire."

"....What are you getting at here?"

"Capell, you alone already have a mass mount of land and many may view you as a dukedom.... Look what we're trying to say is, will you Josh Capell be willing to leave behind the title of a Marquis and enter the Capell name into the title of a Duke." The emperor says as he, with the other members of the Imperial family began to talk amongst themselves.

"I myself cannot answer this question as I'm not the only member of the Capell Household. If you will allow it I will need time to tell the rest of the family. Even if I"m the head of the family i cannot simply toss the rest of the family away as things concerning the family is put in the midst of national matters."

"Of course we understand that just please all we ask is that you answer before the end of next month." The Emperor said.

"I'll do so."

Later on that night at the Capell Estate

"No. The answer to leave behind the title of Marquis is no." Head of the Capell knights 1st cousin to the former head. Roman Capell.

"I can understand why we may say no but before we officially say so can you give me a proper answer as to why we shouldn't enter into the title of a duke." Josh asked the rest of the family.

"It's a matter of if and not. Simply we have been one of the longest families within the Imperial lands to hold titles and fiefs. I mean every single one of us has at least one fief of more and 100 acres that we have put under the Capell family. Look, it's not just because of this it's simply bec....."

"It's because we don't want to be tossed into any trivial matters between any of the dukes. Though we ourselves may have more power than them and their kings we are still lesser than the Imperial family and the Archduke. We don't want to enter it besides we already have more than enough power to go against half the kingdoms residing with the Imperial lands what more do we need." The 3rd cousin Megan, interrupted.

"Actually it might not be bad for us to attain the title of a duke family." Gerald the brother of the former said." I mean the Capell family is already growing under Josh, in terms of international perspective. Beside we have respect from even the kingdoms that stretch far down to Australia, that even they don't seem to like any other noble around them."

"Were are you going with this Gerald?" Josh asked.

"I'm simply saying we should take it so we can later become a kingdom.I mean I understand if you don't want that and I'll respect it as it seems that I'll lose this argument but being the only Marquis family it's hard interacting with the dukes and counts, we're basically the only strand that holds that.....oh.....we're basically the only thing holding those to ranks together." Gerald says as he finally understands why the rest of the family isn't willing to let their title go for a new one.

"Ahh, we too wanted something to grasp but you know how those counts are when their invited to events hosted by the dukes. Sides they already see us above them, as they should, but imagine us letting go of that strand. We'll lose most of that grasp of nobility and common life." Megan says as she began writing out all the aristocrats within the empire.

"Fine it's settled we'll stay a Marquis household until there are other appointed Marquis's or until we say ehh screw it just go for a crown. So do we agree on this for now." Josh asked the rest of the family.

All looking at each other nodding their heads and finally Roman speaking."We fully accept those terms either one is fine but as of right now we don't want the title."

"Very well then. Now this meeting is over so do continue on your day."
