	Queen Mariana Varejão-Medellin II was turning thirty-seven years old on June 16th. Her family members planned a gorgeous celebration in the palace and throughout the city of Millares. The civilians knew that their Queen's birthday was coming and planned for several small events all over the city. The wealthy helped with getting the food and other things needed to make a party well-known for future generations to read about. But, the Varejão-Medellin families used most of the country's money for the party. It would cost twelve million dollars to make the Queen happy during her birthday. The wealthy of nearby nations soon heard word of an  exquisite party for Queen Mariana. Hundreds of wealthy families began their trip to Millares for the party.

The Queen soon realized that the birthday party was being planned. At first, she was frustrated and angry at the fact that her birthday was going to be expensive at twelve million. Her family managed to convince their Queen that she earned the party for her "determination to making this nation better." She let them plan the birthday around the city. After months of planning, Queen Mariana's birthday was finally here. Civilians all over the empire arrived to Millares. Many of them were celebrating at local bars or on the local squares. Market places were filled with people buying supplies for the week long event. And the wealthy for several other countries soon arrived at the palace. 

The event began with a big lunch inside the palace with donors and the wealthy foreigners. After the lunch, the Queen went out of the palace and went to different parts of the city. She met with locals and entered a bar to have a drink. After that, she went back into the palace for the dinner and the night party. Before dinner could start, word soon spread to the guest that the Kingdom of Dallin declared war on Madeira. The declaration of war wasn't a surprise to Mariana because of claims made by Dallin to annex the port city of Portimao.

The wealthy Dallins and Madeirans were in a heated argument about the sudden declaration of war. Things were about to get bloody as one of the Dallins pulled out his pistol. The Azrekans were right behind the Dallins and started to pull out weapons as well. Queen Mariana intervened in the argument and called for the "immediate banishment of all Dallins and Azrekans out of the palace." The Royal Guard started to escort the families out as they protested the Queen's decision and cursed at Madeirans. Once outside the palace, the banished groups started to head back to their rooms to leave the country. 

Some, however, stayed behind and demanded that they return to the party at once. Those Dallins and Azrekans were drunk and upset at being kicked out of the party. One of the men threw a wine bottle at one of the Royal Guards while leaving. The bottle landed on the man's head and he suffered cuts all over his face. The guards went towards the group of men and demanded for them to stop. When they refused and kept walking, the angry guards arrested all of the fifteen men for attempted murder and causing harm to a military official. A massive brawl broke out as the guards tried to arrest the wealthy men. It only lasted two minutes before backup arrived to stop the fighting. After the brawl ended, one Royal guard and two drunken men had died. Now, the men are facing with additional changes that could get them sent to death. The Queen didn't know of the brawl until she was told about it after the birthday party. 

Besides the fighting, both the dinner and the birthday party went on to be remembered in the history books for it's beauty and amazing detail around the city. The week long party wasn't over for the civilians, but the Queen went back to work to deal with the situation between the Kingdom of Dallin and Madeira. Mariana viewed the declaration of war as "the only way that King Adelius Odrimus VI could fill his hunger for power." She issued a statement towards King Adelius that questioned the declaration and warned that this war could "spell disaster for their relations in the coming years.” However, the Queen didn't want to go to war and ruin the country's growing economy.
