Chapter - III
The Monarchy of Monseroux, lé Darling
Nathan lé Darling was the first Crowned King of Monseroux and took up the throne at the seat of Parliament in 1792. Born in Paris in 1739, King Nathanial kept his position as Head of State until his death in 1811. It was King Nathanial’s decision and last testimony that after his death a Constitution be formed and an elected Parliament set-up. In December 1811 his last wishes were honoured and Parliament with elected officials opened by his successor and son, King Albert lé Darling I.
King Albert I was a devout Conservative and with the opening of Parliament founded the Royal Conservative Party to which he was to Chair. This chairing of the Conservatives by the reigning Monarch has since become tradition with every successive King taking up Chairmanship. (Unfortunately Princesses cannot become Queen, or head of state... yet)
King Albert and the Conservatives sought to increase Monseroux’s influence throughout Europe through both the economy and also socially. King Albert with help from his fathers Right-Hand, Rudolph Damiano D’Asti the 1st, established LaCoix-Europe Chic, a Fashion company that would influence the world fashion scene up until the present day, and taking centre stage at the LaCoix Washion Week.

Over the years the Monarch has built up a significant international group of contacts ranging from; Political Figures and Heads of State, Celebrities, Businessmen and women, Explorers, Fashion Designers and most importantly other Royal Families.
Each year the reigning Monarch hosts the: Annual Hotel lé Mode Reception. The exclusive wine & dine attracts hundreds of wealthy, powerful indivuduals and interest groups from across the globe. Most notably; the Leaders of many European Nations, European Royal Families, and political figureheads. Annual Hotel lé Mode is a chance for the lé Darling Family to present Monseroux to the world, and to promote the economical and social values that the Royal Family uphold.
Annual Hotel lé Mode however does not always go accoprding to plan as was seen in the year 1925. King Philíp lé Darling, Monarch of the time, hosted the event and many European Leaders attended. It was seen to be the years most notable meeting of leaders and was highly attended. Tensions between many countires in Europe were growing at the time and the atmosphere would have being all but unbearable without the charming, charismatic nature of King Philíp. Wine was downed and Food devoured untill the early hours of the morning between the European Elite. The French wee-weed, and the Italians si-si'd, all was seemingly pleasant untill the French (notable for their non-existent sense of humour) took a Russian joke about "When was the last good French Barbeque and Joan of Arc" a bit too seriously. Rosé throwing and cutlery hurling ensumed as the French and Russians re-enacted the battle of Berezina within the grand halls. With the Russian grasping Victory (Once again) the ashamed French Leaders stormed from the Hotel lé Mode (taking the Champagne with them) never to return.

In Modern Times the Monarch under King Claude lé Darling has returned to its Conservative, Patriotic roots and is busier than ever as one of the most popular and succesful Kings of Monseroux ever. King Claude and many other relatives and Aristocrats frequently make trips abroad to visit leaders and organisations alike, on business and promoting Monseroux. The Royal Family has arguably invested more in its nations future and past than any other Royal Family in the world. Constructing canals, investing in business, establishing trading partners, and having the entrepreneurial spirit that has driven Monseroux forward in both Finance and Culture in many Monserouvians eyes earns them the title of Patriarchs of the Monseroux State.

King Claude's father, King Albert the 2nd at the Annual Hotel lé Mode in 1956. King Albert II was a heavy smoker and drinker and would often make drunken television appearences slurring curses at the French government, an eventful happening that earned him much popularity amongst the Monserouvian people.
