>>5344247The speech goes unexpectedly well. Karnus of House Dollak is unfortunately not at the coronation, but he's soon contacted over space zoom, and gives a drunken, slurring speech about his new beloved that, thankfully, makes everyone stop talking about how stupid the next queen obviously will be.
The rest of the party goes by without anything of particular note occurring, and the day finishes up. You made some significant progress with Kurrdurr, Ferdongu, and Splitfacian relations, all of whom have much higher opinions of the Catgirls... at the cost of literally everyone else.
However, it's undeniable that you've left a mark on galactic society. Your importance has been upgraded from Minimal to Slight, and no one can claim any longer that you're a puppet state of your allies. Speaking of which, even the Lizdassians and Mirror Humans are beginning to question the direction your kingdom is taking, what with the "collapse the galactic economy" NFT scam you participated in.
In particular, you've really, REALLY pissed off the Zerkans, who already disliked you because all of your allies have 7+ military, and because of your general lack of décor and seriousness. That you're wedding your princess to a Kurrdurr (military 10) is bad enough, and that you failed to establish a rapport with the Zerkan ambassador during the party is another strike against you, but now, in addition to everything else, you've just crashed several Zerkan hyperspace supercomputers with algorithmically-randomized pictures of catgirl royalty doing cute things.
