''And mortals will always sing of Aphrodite, born of the waves and the seed of Ouranos, ineffable and pure. Hear the roar of her chariot, she who rejoices in the dances of the nymphs along the shores, who drives her chariot into Syria rich in incense, while all the gods yearn for her royal presence.
O Aphrodite, who makes wild beasts howl and who is beautiful as the blooming of the first flower of spring, accompanied by your nymphs, who rejoices in the waves and the smiles of men, who rules all, whom they call Aphroditi, Areia, or even Hades, divine and infernal, queen full of beauty who stretches out in the dawns and fulfills yourself in kisses and beauty, you are divine and in Olympus all songs secretly honor your name.
In the hymns you are Sovereign, and your blessed priestesses honor your name, your deeds, and your reign. O Kypris! Beautiful queen with the golden crown! Be merciful, O goddess, and rejoice in our smiles and our love for the living.

The Queen’s army had been hard at work planning and practicing for a special parade and presentation for the Queen. Last week, Gen. Abraham Hippoli announced the decision as discussed with the Houses of Parliament, with unanimous support. It as announced that the Queen would e reducing the number of public engagements, to focus on her health and to get ample rest.
The Queen’s army are well known in the history of Tüm, with their prominence starting during the reign of HM Rami Jackson. At the eve of HM Rami’s golden jubilee, the army, then constituted to the state and controlled by the Houses of Parliament, through the ministry of Defences, made then historic pledge to only answer to the Queen and reigning monarch from her bloodline; and thus the army was henceforth known as the Queen’s army.
Since then, the Queen’s army has been a main attraction at events celebrating the monarch, as well as being the official security team at the palaces of the Queen. The army is diverse and had been lauded as one of the few armies to have been instituted without any restrictions on race, gender to sexual identity and as such, the Queen’s army at its present form, stands very diverse in its soldiers and leaders.
The presentation was held at the town of Waterton, the secondary base of operations of the Queen’s army. HM Queen Aphroditi arrived, accompanied by HRH Prince Fausto. Following the arrival of the Queen,, she was greeted by a sergeant, before being ushered to the soldiers at attention, for an official inspection by the Queen. HRH Prince Fausto could not resist reminiscing about his time in the army. This was followed by a thirty minute march parade and presentation by the soldiers. Cadets from the military academy were invited to perform rendition of the Queen’s anthem. With the presentations done, the Queen gave a speech praising the efforts of the army in not only protecting the monarch and the Royal Family, but also for protecting the Queendom. The Queen was all smiled as she returned to the car, accompanied once again by HRH Prince Fausto.
