To celebrate the Grand Duchess' birthday the images of the Grand Duchess with Queen Marie have been released.
IMAGES OF THE IMPERIAL FAMILY'S STAY IN WIDENBURG AT THE LUISE HOUSE
The Imperial family residing in the Luise House, owned by Queen Marie. The house originally built for Queen Marie's mother, Queen Louise, wife of King Herman of Widenburg. However, Grand Duchess Alice's brother, Prince Alfred was given the house by his grandmother, Queen Marie and renovated the house to his taste.
Grand Duchess Alice looking out the front window of the Luise House, waiting for news of her brother's potential engagement and rumour of a potential wife, Princess Maria of De Sol Valley.
Grand Duchess Alice has been the most critical voice in her brother's, Prince Alfred's choice of potential bride. However, the Queen and Crown Princess get a final say than Alice. Alice had selected Grand Duchess Sophia, cousin to Sergei as a good choice. However, the Queen has rejected all demands and attempts by Alice. Another was put forward of Princess Gisella of Brindleton. Gisella is the eldest niece of Sergei, however considered by the Queen, the Crown Princess is not convinced for any Khovanski relations.
(Notes from account owner, I havent been too active on here due to being busy back at school, hopefully now I can be able to post more! I only update this account when I can and everyone is welcome to come a view the story line of Sergei and Alice, as there time is limited)
ROYAL TOUR OF WIDENBURG STARTING
Early this morning the Imperial family arrived at Friedrichburg, capital of Widenburg. The family will be staying at the Luise House on the outer suburbs of Potsdam. The trip is both diplomatic to keep in good relations with Widenburg and the Imperial couple to present their daughter, Grand Duchess Irina to her Great-Grandmama, Queen Marie.
Not many were there to see the new Emperor, however an official time to see him and his family, along with Queen Marie is upcoming for the Widenburg people. Police in Friedrichburg have said they are very concerned for the Emperor's safety as he isn't very well liked amongst the society, especially Grand Duchess Alice. However, the little Grand Duchess seems to be more popular by the unofficial selling of the image of Dowager Empress Yekaterina holding the little duchess.
These images show Emperor Dmitrievich and the Grand Duchesses Alice and Irina.

CONVERSATION BETWEEN EMPEROR DMITRIEVICH AND GRAND DUCHESS ALICE
Alice: What names have you been considering for the child, dear?
Sergei: Well, it is too early to know.
Alice: I do know that, and the dangers around this business, grandmama gave me a whole dressing about it!
Sergei: Her and mama had many children and still here, it should be fine.
Alice: They are, however I do fear I would be like my poor mama who only had three children, only Alfred and I managed to get to adulthood!
Sergei: But your brother, Freddie died from Diphtheria, not in childbirth.
*Alice glared at him and rolled her eyes*
Alice: mama was completely heartbroken, children this early is a dangerous thing, I am telling you!
Sergei: but God has blessed you, you can't take that away.
Alice: No, he didn't it was you, God had nothing to do with This!
Sergei: blame me, however if it is the much awaited son for this empire then we won't have to have anymore children, if that makes you happy?
Alice: of course I want children, but at 18? I don't think so. *Alice crosses her arms*
Sergei: my sisters, mama and your grandmama all had children around 18. Look at Olga and Zinaida! Zinaida was younger than that, she was just 17!
Alice: well your sister is very much that way
*Sergei stands up*
Sergei: Alice... Zinaida is very many things but what your implying is far from the truth! It was those dukes that made her marry and mama couldn't do much of it! Haven't you learned how marriage works in this country.
Alice: I don't have to bother with it
Sergei: you will once that child is born and after 16 or so years than you will have to know.
Alice: well by God I don't want to deal with it
Sergei: such a child you are, I am off to my study.
Alice: no! Don't-
*Sergei before he left, turns around looks at Alice*
Sergei: if its a boy its Ivan, if it's a girl Irene or Olga.
Alice just nodded and just was left sad. Her inner thoughts were blaming the unborn child for causing problems in her life and the possibile issues at the palace.
Alice: I will damn well make your life hard for ruining mine, child!
A letter from Grandmama, Queen Marie. Dated 1889
Dearest Alice,
I heard the most joyful news of that you are expecting a child! How you must name it once it is born after me or dear Catherine (Yekaterina).
Is dear Sergei treating you well? However, I am really here to write of the marriage between Maria of De Sol Valley and your brother, Alfred. Of course little Anne (Princess Marie of Widenburg, Queen Maria of De Sol Valley) just cannot agree with Herman about such a marriage. Unfortunate, I really do like Maria.
Please write back dear Alice, I do hope once the child is born to come visit your dear loving grandmama in Windenburg! Your grandpapa would have loved to seen you now, such shame!
Your old and most loving and affectionate, Grandmama
Another letter from Dear Grandmama, dated 1889
Dearest Alice,
Dear Dagmar (Alice's aunt, Marie's youngest daughter) had come to luncheon with Heinrich (her husband) and those little children. They have grown very much, and more out of control than ever!
However, Dagmar was informing me that the imperial court have been advising you to take such matters in order to have a son, I say no such nonsense exists! Do not listen to such ill informed men! I was blessed to have your dear papa first then Anne, however Catherine (Yekaterina) had told me the troubles she did endure of having four daughters, this is of course back in 1863 on her visit to us. That court is absolutely the hell on earth from its rules to its splendour, how I should have denied your marriage into the Khovanskis! I have a terrible bad sense for their fate as a family.
Do not worry yourself, dear, and take much rest, dear and I don't listen to them, man or woman trying to get a son, either is a blessing, Alice.
Your affectionate, dear old Grandmama

Information of the relationship between Queen Marie of Widenburg and Grand Duchess Alice
Grand Duchess Alice, formally Princess Alice is a granddaughter of Queen Marie, and a favourite amongst the grandchildren of Queen Marie.
Marie has had a close relationship with her granddaughter, especially after the death of her husband, Alice's grandfather, Prince Frederick of Widenburg in 1886, when Alice was 14. Alice and Marie didn't meet an agreement at first of marriage when Alice mentioned at a luncheon with the Queen in 1887. Marie dismissed it all, due to her granddaughter still being 15, however Alice would give her grandmother a hard time between 1887 upto 1889. The Queen wanting her granddaughter to be happy agreed upon the marriage along with her son, Crown Prince Herman. At 18, Princess Alice married the Emperor of Willow Creek.
The Queen has been reporting on news from Widenburg to her granddaughter and discussing marriage potentials between her other grandchildren and royals, Alice's cousin.
ANNOUNCEMENT GRAND DUCHESS ALICE IS EXPECTING A CHILD.
News from the Imperial Palace of the Khovanski's main residence. That HIH Grand Duchess Alice is expecting a baby. The public and many around are hoping for a son to continue the line on.

Some newspapers in Willow Creek have shared concerns of a potential daughter being born. The dowager Empress had four daughters before her two sons last. However the late Emperor Ivanovich had stated; "I much prefer my daughters to my sons, as they belong to me rather than the state" -1868.
However the time will tell whether a son or daughter is born.
Conversation between the Grand Duchesses Valentina, Anastasia and Alice.
Anastasia: those dukes never like royals from Widenburg, ever since Empress Anna, when she and Emperor Petrovich were declared the Emperor and Empress in 1806. and I had known they personally do not like Sergei, and this is more so action of revenge. They see him as weak and a mere child still, and do down vote his ideas and reforms.
Valentina; when the regency was being arranged quick, Olga informed me from Nikolai (Olga's husband) that the dukes attempted voting in Vladimir (the second uncle of the Emperor, and second brother of Emperor Ivanovich), however mama made it apparent she should take the role on behalf of papa, after all papa did mention this once to mama in front of Olga and I before that awful holiday!
Alice: so your stating the dukes, do not take to us very much.
Anastasia: unfortunately I do agree, and the dukes pushed for Zinaida and I to be married to foreign royals so we do not have any influence at court, how it is really only yourself (points to Valentina) that managed to marry foreign.
Alice: I hope that the dukes can be persuaded!
Valentina: If you have a son, then everything changes. Mama had four daughters then Ivan and Sergei. Mama did say that grandmama was fighting for a divorce between papa and Mama, but she didn't like Mama so much for reasons, so she says.
Alice: I see...

CONVERSATION BETWEEN EMPEROR DMITRIEVICH AND PRINCESS ALICE.
(Emperor's full name in Sergei Dmitrievich Khovanski)
Alice:
I need to speak with on the matters you addressed in your letter.
Sergei:
About what? Court manner? It should be a little different to your grandmama's court? Wait- you didn't live at the Kaiserin Palace?
Alice:
Yes... My dear mama didn't enjoy Grandmama bothering her all day about different things. Stating that Grandmama was far too involved! Hence why my papa bought the cottage, and to live a simple life and he very much withdrew from all the ceremonies he had to do as Crown Prince. It had not been till I was 16, I had gone to the Kaiserin Palace to live with Grandmama, however her ceremonies as Queen and monarch would be much different to mine.
Sergei:
I had not understood too well about your upbringing away from Widenburg court life, I assumed you accompany the Queen everywhere? However the Grand Duke will decide whether they want you or not as Empress, but as my wife they cannot get a say! As much as mama or my uncles wish!
Alice:
I don't overall mind not being considered an Empress, it all sounds too daunting for me, but if I ever were to have children, even a daughter, I would be outranked at the moment of birth! I couldn't stand that! *Alice begins to sob a little*
*Sergei look a bit concerned*
Sergei:
Titles and ranks wouldn't mean a thing as long as your my wife, even if there were to be any children. I highly doubt any chance of them using those claims on grounds to disobey, as parents, that title would hold over more than Emperor or Empress! These titles do not mean a thing to me, and I do not feel it is me! This life was for Ivan, I much prefer being normal. Alice can you see beyond those titles and bare it enough, if the Dukes don't favour you as Empress? Mama couldn't bare being regent alone after papa and Ivan's deaths, but rather duty allowed her to continue. Perhaps, we both are not blessed by God for this fate...
Alice:
Titles will not mean very much, but I would much rather be at your side than following behind, that is just how I want it, me at your side!
Sergei:
I would very much want that too, but mama is Dowager Empress and she will walk with me unless accompanied with one of my uncles whose wife doesn't attend a dinner or parade. I do not have much control over the rules?
The Imperial Palace, main residence of HIM Emperor Dmitrievich, public announcement
His Imperial Majesty has released a statement of intention to marry HRH Princess Alice of Widenburg. However not yet over, the marriage request has been put through the parliament of Widenburg and HM Queen Marie of Widenburg, the grandmother of Princess Alice. The request has also been sent to all the Grand Dukes of the Imperial blood in Willow Creek and Newcrest for the intention of approval for HRH to be elevated from Princess to Empress.
HIH Grand Duke Nicholas Ivanovich, governor of Newcrest, has already sent an approval to the marriage between Emperor Dmitrievich and Princess Alice. However, the intention of marriage notice has not been received well amongst other members of the family. The Dowager Empress was noticed to be having luncheon with her eldest two daughters, overheard by staff. Anonymously a staff member had stated;
"the dowager is far from impressed with the Emperor's choice of bride, and has (she) no intention of leaving the Imperial Palace, as she does not yet trust the Princess. However, one of the Grand Duchesses made it apparent to the dowager her displeasure and feeling towards Alice, is more over her feeling towards her niece, the Crown Princess Irene of Windenburg".
The Emperor himself has made very clear that his choice of Princess Alice of Widenburg, is more of a romantic match of interest, than political. However, many have expressed, Princess Alice's brother, HRH Prince Alfred of Widenburg, is a figure whose reputation is highly controversial in Widenburg, and is stated to not be a favourite amongst the Queen's grandchildren. As Prince Alfred is to be the King of Widenburg in the future many have assumed the marriage between Emperor Dmitrievich and Princess Alice is a political one, however not true.

The Emperor's spending has not gone unnoticed, the Imperial Palace, although funded by the Emperor himself, unfortunately his extraordinary amounts of money spent on hosting luncheons and dinners with minsters and other royals of houses. Has resulted in a shaking start to his reign alone as an autocrat Emperor, however many have dismissed the excessive spending down to age, privilege and marriage hunting. Although Grand Duchess Anastasia, married privately and unannounced a few weeks ago, has stated along with her sister, Grand Duchess Zinaida that infact a possible match has been selected by their brother, the Emperor, however the Dowager Empress and the Queen of another country respectably are debating to allow and pass the marriage.
