Part One: A New Era

This is basically a summary of each post. Which is why it is called The Full Timeline. Less tedious timelines summarized by key events and such will be made later. But I need this to make Wiki's. People, Places, etc are bolded so I can find them quicker by sight. Do not be offended if I put 'X did nothing of note' it just means that the character didn't do anything related to story. Mostly when a character has a post of 99% dialogue. It not that I don't think it was an important post, I'm just not including it here.I also included notes on flaws or just commentary because i'm bored and this was tedious.

## April 3, 1907 Belinsky Karoleva

**Intro:**

*Spring in Karoleva has always been a blessed thing. It brings relief from the long, harsh winter and the disease, famine, and death that comes with it. The past year for Karoleva has seemed to be one of endless winter, filled with pain, grieving, and a sense of hopelessness that has managed to entrap the entire country.*

*It's been more than a year since rebellion devastated the country, and it seems that things may finally be changing for Karoleva. Bright banners and garlands of flowers decorate the streets, and for the first time in months the entire country seems to be in jubilation. What is the occasion? Today is Grand Duke Nikolai's 20th birthday, and the day of his coronation.*

*The ceremony is to take place today at noon, in the Dorogoy Cathedral in Belinsky, and the entire royal court has travelled to be there. Afterwards, a ball is being held in Nikolai's honor back at the Alexander Palace. The celebration marks the end of the country's grieving period, and with it hope of moving on.*

*Still, a sense of worry has crept it's way back into the palace. A cartoon appeared yesterday in the streets of Belinsky, tacked to sign posts, walls, and anywhere they could fit. It was obviously rebellion propaganda, depicting the Petrovna family, with the devil whispering in their ears and a burning St Romovna under crushed under their feet. It's an obvious reference from those who still believe the Dowager Queen ordered the burning of the capital, and it's just one of many cartoons that have surfaced over the past few months.*

*It doesn't mean much, it's nothing but a cartoon, yet it carries with it a reminder that the rebels haven't given up. Spring has finally come to Karoleva, the Petrovna's winter may continue yet.*

**Charlotte** says she has many and says Victor Hugo. Then says she likes riding as well.

(I've read Victor Hugo, but I'm not a fan. I only put this due to the references to Les Mis throughout the RP. But I would have put Faubert because I love Madame Bovary. But I don't think Madame Bovary would be a suitable thing for a princess to read)

**Isabella** thanks him and says she will wear it to the ball.

**Mad** said he did it right

**Stan** said he heard that he was taken by someone. He put the blood in a special machine and said that the **Petrovna's** had a certain hue to it that was unique.

(Yeah because 1907 def had a machine like that)

**Maria** sarcastically says that's why and rolls her eyes and tells them they have a ball to attend to.

**Nikolai** said it would be better to stay and just drink champagne

**Charlotte** tells **Cedric** that she is

**Cedric** escorts **Charlotte** to the dining table and pulls out a chair

**Maria** makes to the top of the stairs and hears *God Save the King*

**Charlotte** thanks **Cedric**

**Cedric** tells **Charlotte** says that it looked like **Nikolai** officially asked **Isabelle** to marry him.

**Charlotte** says that **Nikolai** has an engagement to announce.

(Top tier RPing right there)

**Cedric** says it appears so and asks **Charlotte** if **Nikolai** really cares for **Isabella**.

(Well, this is an arranged marriage, it doesn't matter if he cares about her or not)

**Maria** is stitched up by **Doctor Botkin.** She goes to her room and read the note and shoves it in a door. Then grabs a locket with a "t" engraved on it. Then tells no one that **Nikolai** is getting married and she thinks **Charlotte** is too.

**Charlotte** says he most certainly does

**Cedric** says they know how to make a party

**Nikolai** escorted **Isabella** and pulls out a chair for her

**Isabella** hugs **Cedric** lightly

(In reality, Cedric and Isabelle, or Cedric and Charlotte would be sitting next to each other. Because they would be seated according to their rank. Maria and Charlotte would be seated across from each other. The closer to the King, the closer the Rank)

**Nikolai** does nothing of note

**Charlotte** says the ball is very extravagant

(She wouldn't think the ball is very extravagant because it would be normal to her)

**Maria** goes into the ballroom.

**Nikolai** motioned a footman to begin the ball and music starts playing.

**Isabella** does nothing of note

**Aunt Irena** takes a seat and looks at **Charlotte** and **Cedric**

**Maria** notices the waiters bring Kharcho, a traditional Karolevian soup, and fresh baked pretzel bread and begins eating even though they are supposed for wait **Nikolai** to take his first bite.

**Nikolai** asked if he could make an announcement and makes a speech about **Manturia** being an ally to **Karoleva** and announced if engagement to **Princess Isabella Affini** of **Manturnia** and allows the ball to begins and allows everyone to eat.

**Isabella** mouths for **Cedric** to stop eyeing **Nikolai**

**Nikolai** asked if she like the soup, as it is a **Karolevan** favorite

**Charlotte** does nothing of note

**Isabella** kisses his hand that's intertwined with hers and says it's very good.

(That would be a pretty scandalous thing to do in the Edwardian era, especially in formal setting and Isabella would have known it)

**Cedric** does nothing of note

**Maria** fidgets with her locket and continues eating her soup.

**Charlotte** asks **Maria** if she is all right

**Cedric** does nothing of note

**Nikolai** asks if there are any other dishes she would like because the chef he is part **Manturian** on his father's side and kissed **Isabella** on the cheek. (NO NIKOLAI THAT'S WORSE)

**Stan** told **Mad** that it was not the blood he was looking for.

**Maria** tells **Charlotte** she is fine and picks at her cheese souffle

**Isabella** blushes

**Alexsei** was seated in front of Maria and tells **Maria** they chatted once

(He def would not be sitting at the Royal table)

**Charlotte** does nothing of note

**Nikolai** asks **Isabella** if he can call her 'my love'

**Isabella** said he may and asks to dance with him after the meal.

**Nikolai** said of course,

**Amos** does nothing of note

**Cedric** gives a '"i'm watching you" look to **Nikolai**

**Isabella** does nothing of note

**Juste** enters the **Alexander Palace** using a servant's entrance and passed the ballroom into the rest of the palace.

**Charlotte** keeps doing nothing of note because i'm a bad Rper

**Juste** walks through the palace halls and scrapes a knife along the wall. He goes into **Charlotte's** rooms and searches her dresser until he found his dogtags. He stabs a knife into the headboard and leaves a note in **Nikolai's** room and steals an officers coat.

**Maria** excuses herself and makes her way to **Alexandra's** tea parlor and sees the scrape on the wall and is confused.

**Cedric** leaves the ballroom and toward the stables.

## April 4, 1905, Belinsky

### After the Ball

**Isabella** follows

**Juste** walks around the garden and sees the fireworks and rigs the fireworks to crash through the ceiling.

**Maria** goes over the **Charlotte** and tells her something is wrong.

(I want pretzel bread now)

**Charlotte** asks her where

**Maria** says upstairs near the bedrooms and someone took a knife to the wall.

**Charlotte** makes her way to the bedrooms.

**Maria** said she didn't check inside the bedroom.

**Charlotte** checks her room and sees her headboard has a knife on it.

**Maria** says they should check **Nikolai's** room and gives it to **Charlotte.**

**Charlotte** starts to read the note that says "And lo the devil was free to walk the earth once more....."

**Nikolai** walks into his room and asks **Charlote** and **Maria** what was going on

**Charlotte** says they are not sure

**Nikolai** sits down on the bed

**Charlotte** gives **Nikolai** the note

**Maria** snatches the note out of **Nikolai's** hand and is shocked.

**Juste** steps into the ballroom and scans the crowd. He went to **Nikolai's** chair and hangs the dogtags from **Isabelle's** chair. He goes into the gardens

**Charlotte** is shocked.

**Isabella** bumps into **Juste** and asks if she is all right.

**Juste** bows lightly and says no apology is necessary

**Isabella** says it was her fault and asks if he is all right and why he is out in the gardens all alone

**Maria** says she will tell the guards to search the palace and that someone needs to find **Alexandra**

**Juste** said he was listening to the quiet and asks for her name and if she is visiting for the King's coronation

(How would Juste know he put the dog tags on Nikolai's fiance's chair but not know who his fiance is?)

**Isabella** said her name is **Isabella** and said she was and to finalized her engagement to **Nikolai.** Then asks **Juste** for his name.

**Juste** tells her his name and says the **Petrovna's** do put on extravagant parties and said he never met **Nikolai** but he knew **Frederik**

(Well he did meet Nikolai after he got shot in Part One sort of. )

**Isabella** said it's nice to meet him and says she assumes he's lived in **Belinsky** for a while.

**Juste** kisses **Isabella's** hand and says he has lived in **Belinsky** for close to two years but his home was **St.Romnova** but it burned down.

**Charlotte** says she will go find **Alexandra**

**Isabella** said that was awful and asks if there was anything she could do to help him adjust.

**Juste** thanks **Isabella** but says he can manage and tells **Isabella Nikolai** is probably looking for her.

**Isabella** says he is not sure where **Nikolai** is and will stay outside for a bit longer.

**Cedric** goes back to the ballroom and find the dog tags on her chair and goes to find **Isabella.**

**Maria** tells **Nikolai** she will explain everything later and goes to the ballroom and asks **Cedric** if he knows where **Isabella** is

**Juste** said that **Nikolai** must have went to his chambers.

**Cedric** said he can't find her anywhere and shows **Maria** the dog tags

**Isabella** said she hoped **Nikolai** was all right and tells him to ask her if he ever needs anything.

**Maria** said they have to find her now

**Juste** says there is nothing she can do for him and goes toward the outer courtyard and tells her to use the service entrance. He then goes to rig the fireworks and lights them.

**Cedric** asks why and who the dog tags belong to.

**Isabella** tells **Juste** to be careful.

**Maria** says someone who has every reason to want them dead and they should check the gardens

**Charlotte** goes to **Maria** and **Cedric** and asks what happened.

**Isabella** walks through the service entrance and gets lost.

**Cedric** says the **Isabella** is missing and tags were on the chair

**Maria** holds out the tags and follows **Cedric** and says they should split up and that **Charlotte** should go with **Cedric.** Then she goes toward the gardens.

**Charlotte** asks **Cedric** where they should check.

(YOU'RE the one that know the layout of the Palace CHAROTTE)

**Maria** goes through the service hall.

**Lisbeth** stood on a street corner holding **Lilly's** hand who tells **Lisbeth** they should be careful

**Lilly** looks at the **Alexander Palace**

**Lisbeth** runs with **Lilly** to the **Alexander Palace**

(They wouldn't let someone in you just showed up off the streets,not in a car or carriage, with no form of proof they are who they say they are)

**Maria** notices the ceiling of the ballroom crash and goes toward the servant's hall.

**Katya** tells **Alina** that the fireworks are starting and watches before the ceiling crashes and asks **Liesel** and **Alina** what that was

**Lisbeth** rushes into the crowd with **Lilly.**

(How did she get in?)

**Dormin** met in the nearby "Haunted" forest to form a militia style army of mostly peasants.

**Charlotte** is with **Cedric** and she rushes to the ballroom

**Lisbeth** grabs jewels that scatter the ballroom floor.

(Diamonds don't just fall off of quality made jewelry, neither do pearls. They are made not to fall off. Also, people wouldn't just leave their jewels or would they fall off.)

**Lilly** stuffs the jewelry into a bad and asks **Lisbeth** where to go now and who tapered with the rocket.

(I don't think anybody knows that someone tapered with the fireworks, as it could just be an accident)

**Lisbeth** says they need to get out of here and makes her way to the door. A Royal Guard stops her and asks who she is and if she is on the guest list then distracts him and flees. She tells **Lilly** that the Royal Guard need to step up their game and **Lilly** says **Lisbeth** she needs to tell **Justin** and goes into the garden and asks **Lilly** if she remembers the garden lay out.

**(**There we go, but I feel like someone would have done that before. Like when she got to the gate that surrounds the entire Alexander Palace that it guarded. They wouldn't just let people inside that just show up)

(Also, how would Lilly know the layout of a garden palace she has never been in before)

**Charlotte** looks around in the gardens

**Lisbeth** and **Lilly** hide behind a bush.

**Charlotte** calls for **Maria** and **Isabella**

**Lilly** does nothing of note

 **Juste** hears the chaos from a wall and watches **Charlotte**

**Charlotte** sits on a bench

**Maria** calls for **Isabella**

**Lisbeth** continues sitting behind the bush

**Charlotte** does nothing of note

**Maria** calls for **Isabella**

**Isabella** hears **Maria** and calls for her

**Lisbeth** does nothing of note

**Maria** if relieved and tells **Isabella** to follow the sound of her voice

**Lisbeth** does nothing of note

**Juste** watches **Charlotte** and goes to exit the gardens

**Isabella** makes it to **Maria** and said she took a walk in the gardens and was recommended I go this way

**Lisbeth** climbs over the garden gate

**Charlotte** notices her dog come up to her and she goes back into the palace

(I'm scrapping the dog idea)

**Lilly** sees the dog and tells **Lisbeth** she wants a dog

**Lisbeth** tells **Lilly** they need to go

**Maria** asks if the person that told her to go that way was **Juste**

**Lisbeth** goes to her friends place. She takes a bath and changes.

**Isabella** said yes and asks **Maria** how she knew that

**Charlotte** does inside and yells for **Maria** and **Isabella**

**Juste** goes into the palace library and gathers newspapers and books from **The Christmas Revolt**

**Lilly** looks at newspaper clipping of **Lisbeth** in the newspaper.

**Maria** says that **Juste** is an old acquaintance and goes with **Isabella** to the ballroom. Then tells her if she sees **Juste** again to run and alert someone

**Lisbeth** grabs a few diamonds and meets with a man at a parlor and meets with **Malenkov** and gives him the diamonds and **Malenkov** asks her for a favor

(Diamonds would be worth a ton of money, more than enough to get her by only a few days.)

**Charlotte** goes into the ballroom.

**Isabella** said **Juste** made no move to harm her as she goes into the ballroom.

**Charlotte** she goes up to **Maria** and **Isabella**

**Maria** says not yet but might later and tells **Isabella** that she is a part of their family and there are many people who do not like their family very much and she needs to try to keep herself safe.

**Malenkov** gives **Lisbeth** a job of killing a royal officer that starved a child to death last week.

(How would a royal officer starve a child? Unless he kidnaps children. A

**Lisbeth** agrees

**Isabella** nods and says she will be careful

**Lisbeth** goes to the address and kills the royal officer and leaves with a puppy

**Maria** says they need to tell everyone **Isabella** is all right and starts talking about how **Princess Louisa** of **Cysria** was telling her of man name Tiffany that does stained glass.

**Lisbeth** goes to **Malenkov** that the dead is done

**Malenkov** tells her that her pay is in the cabinet

**Charlotte** follows **Maria**

**Lisbeth** goes to the cabinet and gets five throwing knife, Russian finished, with L engraved on them and asks why he had this planned.

(There is no Russia in this RP world, only Karoleva)

**Malenkov** tells **Lisbeth** that he needs her to be an assassin.

**Lisbeth** said she will think about it and goes home

**Maria** asks who's idea was it to make the ceiling glass anyway and asks **Charlotte** what she thinks

**Charlotte** says stained glass would be pretty.

**Lisbeth** goes into a tavern and talks with poeple

**Malenkov** does nothing of note

**Juste** put all the newspapers on the tables in the library and gathers weapons in a blanket and goes toward the tavern.

**Lisbeth** does nothing of note

**Maria** said of course it would be and asks where the boys are.

**Charlotte** says she has no idea.

(\*insert Nikolai posts that I somehow didn't copy over\*)

**Maria** tells **Nikolai** that they found **Isabella** and asked where **Cedric** is

**Nikolai** said he helped people evacuate and said he had no idea where **Cedric** was and asked where **Isabella** was

(But she's with Maria)

**Juste** goes to the tavern breaks light bulbs and scatters the glass around his room

**Lisbeth** leaves the tavern and if followed by two guards of the palace and is robbed and is beaten.

(Why would two palace guards be outside of the palace grounds?)

**Lisbeth** wakes up and goes back to the tavern and gets fixed up

**Dormin** goes to the tavern where **Lisbeth** is and knocks on her door

**Lisbeth** asks **Dormin** what he wants

**Dormin** tells her his name

**Lisbeth** says it's been an awful night and allows him to come in

**Dormin** thanks her and pulls a folder and pulls out documents

**Lisbeth** asks why he did research on her

**Dormin** says he is there to finished the job that his proxy could not and could use her talents since she was a part of the **Christmas Revolt**.

**Lisbeth** asked if he knew **Erik** and asks what she could help him with and if he wants to restart the rebellion

**Dormin** said he did not know him personally but he was a proxy that failed. He says he wants the rebellion to be finished.

**Lisbeth** says she is willing to help and says **Lilly** stays out of this

**Cedric** is still looking for **Isabella**

**Isabella** says she is going to find **Cedric**

**Dormin** says **Lilly** will be out of harms way and says winning war requires more than charisma, it needs discipline, training, food, money, etc

**Lisbeth** says that money isn't an issue as she is the best thieves that has stepped foot on the streets and says he knows many other rebels.

(Is Lisbeth really the best thief in the entire city? There are like thousands of people living in the city)

**Dormin** asks who **Justin** was to her and who **Juste dan Renon** is

**Lisbeth** said that **Justin** is a friend and said **Juste** is insane and escaped prison recently

**Amanda** walks through the streets and goes to the tavern

**Dormin** said no one knew **Juste** asks why he was imprisoned

**Lisbeth** said he was one of the few they caught and spent three years in the prison and he was brilliant and no one knew what he looked like despite the guards and royals. She says she has a friend and is a hit man of sorts and has files on the royal guard and such

(Lisbeth would know that Juste was not a rebel and more than the royals and guards know what Juste looks like, he had a trial)

(How does Malenkov have files on the guards?)

**Dormin** asks if **Malenkov** has a file on **Juste**

**Lisbeth** says she is not good and says someone should know something as this place is small. She thinks **Juste** had a hand in the incident at the **Alexander Palace**

(This city is not small, it's like Moscow)

**Dormin** asks what incident

**Lisbeth** said fireworks went off but one was tampered in and hit the glass ceiling

(How would she know that it was Juste?)

**Dormin** asks **Lisbeth** if she met the man and why all his targets were rebel forces

**Lisbeth** said she never met him and rumors say he was targeting both rebels and royals

(Didn't she meet him?)

**Dormin** and asks how many men and supplies she would need to break into a vault.

**Lisbeth** said she would need two men and some pins and explosive

**Dormin** said that's not enough and how many men she needs to sneak into a large structure that is guarded at all time

**Lisbeth** says 10-15.

(How could she and 14 other people get into the palace unnoticed?)

**Dormin** says they have a lot of gold to carry out

**Lisbeth** asks if he wants her to rob the royal vault and says yes and does it when guards switch.

(Why would they allow the vault to be unguarded for a few seconds? Usually guards wait till the other guards get to their stations before the other guards leave)

(Also, would there really be just one vault?)

**Dormin** said that his men can cause ruckus in the palace.

**Lisbeth** says she is all in and asks if he wants a glass

**Dormin** agrees

**Lisbeth** says it won't fall through

**Dormin** asks how soon she can have a team assembled

**Lisbeth** by tomorrow afternoon

**Dormin** tells her to be ready at any moment

**Lisbeth** said her men were muderous assassins

**Dormin** says to keep the body count low

**Lisbeth** says that if she dies to make sure **Lilly** is taken care of and hopes he understands

**Dormin** has he has a wife with child at home and agrees.

**Lisbeth** thanks him

**Dormin** says they will be in touch and leaves

**Lisbeth** sleeps
