She is youngest monarch to ever ascend the throne on the continent... in the youngest nation on the continent. She has been groomed to etch her name in history and with all the tools at her disposal to realize her noble goals: A roaring economy, an eager population, and a nascent, rising empire. She would lead Alemaneia into an era of prosperity and prestige.
Her proponents (who feel she would bring young, modern blood to the nobility) and her skeptics (who feel she is far too young and cannot possibly have the ability to stand up to their regional rivals) both look upon her career with immense interest.
Perhaps everypony, in some way, would be right about her. And perhaps everypony, in some way, would be wrong about her.
So very, very wrong.
A six-part story of an unprecedented rise, and a spiraling, tragic fall of Regenfall IV.
Set in the Flower Mare Universe. Reading is NOT required, but I certainly won't stop you if you want to read the series.

The weather is much cooler today. It's my Friday. And then this finally happened?
My day can't get any better than this.
Please tell me that this will be a long read

Six chapters. Tending-flowers length approximately
German? So is this going to be WW2 based with nukes?
Regenfall seems so much more...innocent than when Schneebloom meets with her. Guess there's a big time difference but still. Wonder what Celestia thinks of her now...
9844671
It's closer to WW1 then 2.

The story most certainly isn’t over...
...and funny how there’s multiple sides to a story, huh?
9844797
True true. In any case I'll be sticking around to see more of Regenfall. Very nice first chapter
So moar wen?
Looks like she’s destined to fall hence her namesake..
Well, I'm officially hyped up for this
And as someone with an unnatural obsession of European history- This'll be fun.
Princess Celestia has an...unsettling amount of influence in Alemaneia. I don't like it, and I don't think that this will end well for her if she interferes in their politics. I'm sure we all know that Equestria likes to get involved in conflicts outside of their borders.
9844970
I mean, maybe a little? My thought is that a LOT of monarchs consult her because she's literally old af and been around forever. But that's still an interesting take

Think about it. What makes the Equestrian monarchs trustworthy, exactly? True, they're old and experienced, but the only real times we see them use their experience is to either expand their influence or solve internal conflicts. Griffonstone has been in extreme poverty for quite some time, but yet Equestria has provided no assistance. They truly only have their own interests in mind, which leads me to wonder why anyone would take their advice seriously.

For the purposes of this story, it’s more of a friendship and mentor ship, but I I have to agree with a lot of what you say. I wonder if there’s already a story on this? A universe like that is very fic-worthy
One Vision!
One Purpose!
In the name of
Kane!Regenfall!Regenfall von Schleier
Rainfall of Shroud
Rainfall's Shroud
I see what you did there
Celestia’s advice on ruling a nation was both naive and overly generic to a kind of boring degree. Other than that I think this has great promise.

Fair criticism. I’ll take it! Thank you!
... I don't know about any of you, but I know that I would follow Queen Regenfall loyally into a war. Even more so if this was how our enemy had been behaving beforehand.
Couple dozen casualties in exchange for an entire company of enemies dead... Not a bad trade off.

We're also mostly ignorant of the majority of Equestria's political, diplomatic, and governing history, especially in this particular 'instance' (the Flower Mare universe), so unless Flam has set down canon details somewhere it can only be assumed. For example, I don't recall anything that specifically says whether they tried to aid Griffonstone. Given how they're shown to respond in canon to offers of aid, it wouldn't surprise me if Equestria had made overtures to help, only to be told to mind their own business. Pride can be a powerful thing, doubly so when wounded.
Looks like we're jumping right into the escalation into war. Regenfall is definitely not making herself a doormat.
I’m late to the game as I am a horrendously slow reader, but this here is the story us Flam Fans have been waiting for. Glad to see this story come to fruition.
Yikes, that...occurred rather quickly. I wonder if we will ever find out the ulterior motives of that Prench company’s movements onto Alemaneian soil.
stand your ground!!!!
I deeply enjoy this world you have created, and the thing about characters that are not wholly good, nor bad. Your painting of a war that has just the right amount of realism to strike nerves and tear ducts without going full-out grimdark. I look forward to seeing more of this story (and others yet to be written). To that end, I wish to point out what appears to be an error (perhaps a mistype or auto-correct) I think the above sentence should read "I'd be honored!". If this was intentional then feel free to let me know or disregard this entirely.
Either way, Viel Glück für alle Ihre zukünftigen Bemühungen.
P.S. I am not German, but I have a deep respect for languages both real and fictitious and use the tools I have available to me (namely Google Translate) to respond in kind.
Oh, I am so looking forward to see more of this. Such innocent beginnings and such good intentions, as is often the way with tragedies.

There is plenty more coming--quite a bit in the pipeline actually, though other stories got prioritized at the time
i glad this story still alive great chapter so far keep up the great work cant wait for the next chapter
:
Did a shell land near her, or was she struck by a sniper? The impact she felt could aptly describe both.
Man, you’ve ratcheted up the tension tenfold here, eager to see the fallout from this!
"so ein Feigling" that was a huge mistake Bouclier
...what did you think was going to happen, Kaiserin?
10215291
She was shot. She just registered the impact of the bullet before the sound of a rifle shooting.
All bets are now off.
Bouclier just signed the death warrants of so many ponies... himself included. Regenfall was willing to TALK, he answered with violence ...
Technically if such news went world-public, that would swing the sympathies somewhat to Alemania's side...
Bouclier, tu es un cochon lâche et prétentieux.
Königin Regen, Sie sind ein erstaunlicher Anführer, aber Sie lassen sich von Ihrer Wut und Ihrem Stolz in die Irre führen. Was hast du von dem Feigling erwartet? Zumindest hätte ich vorgeschlagen, ihm eine Nachricht zu schicken, in der er verlangt, dass er Sie trifft, dann hätte er in Betracht ziehen müssen, vor seinen Generälen das Gesicht zu verlieren.
Google Translate is so much fun.
But seriously though, glad to see more of this wonderful story. I felt moved by Regenfall's words. I am praying now that her pride of nationalism and her hatred towards Bouclier will not be her downfall.
10216084
Agreed but on two points. First, while Bouclier might be a massive aristocratic twat with half his body weight being attributable to his ego, he is not a fool and he is a vicious opportunist to boot. Second, as much as I wish to say otherwise, Queen Regenfall let her hatred and sense of nationalism get the better of her she should have brought a flag of truce, or called him out via missive or vocally that way his refusal or having her shot would consequently have him losing face which would be worse than death if I read him correctly.
He dun goofed.
The artwork of this OC is the best thing I've ever seen. Peak waifu material!
Assuming that was actually Bouclier's order and not just a trigger-happy riflepony, I believe this is an apt description of the situation:
"It was at that moment Bouclier realized... he'd bucked up."
This chapter hurt. It was a good kind of hurt. You've made such a compelling world.
What a beauty.
That you are!!!
Young, fresh and ready for takeover!!!
Fourth time's a charm!
The Goddess of the Sun himself.
Doesn't look like it's so little anymore!
And for good reason.
You liar!!!
As expected of a Princess... and now Queen!!!
That she can... now.
!!!
Ah, there's one of those main concerns.
You can do this.
Long Live The Queen!!!
Quite a lot.
But you must not abuse it.
Try to find a balance... don't be too soft, but do not be too hard either.
Like a Peregrine Falcon stabbing it's talons into a pigeon.
Never lose sight of yourself.
Danger lurks everywhere😈.
Regenfall watched and felt as Celestia placed her hoof on her shoulder. She never broke eye-contact, however.
Don't be afraid to speak up.
And see it as the nation it is!
!!!
You shall!!!
!!!
What a room.
Onward.
All of you are one.
Damn right you are!!!
United!!!
One Kingdom!!!
A new beginning!!!
Well?
Love Live The Queen!!!
She now has a taste of what the Royal Sisters must go through!
Hey, she's not alone! I am a big eater myself!
Festival!!!
!!
Yeah about that.
The night of the Queen!!!
Aww....
!!!
.
!!!
Ah, we've got another!!!
!!!
What a dance!!!
Uh-oh...
Oh jeez....
Not a pleasant way for your fun to be ruined.
What an ally.
.
This cannot be good.
The fourth???
Oooooh nooo....
Fifteen minutes?!?!?!
But with a major cost.
All of them?!
Damn....
They deserve that much.
Just like that.
I can imagine why they're not.
Oh boy.
Yikes!!!
And that she would.
The sooner this is dealt with, the better.
I'm sure they do.
Love Live The Queen.
Strength indeed.
Very insulted.
And here we go.
And there he is....
I suppose it could use some adjustments.
Indeed it can.
Oh god....
She's totally more beautiful here!
Oh really?
Oh boy!!!
Shots fired!!!
Very good points.
No, no they were not!!!
Are you willing to gamble with that?
Very measured.
It shows.
Just what I was about to say.
With a nice good kick to the rump!
Who doesn't not like Nobles?
Sing my Queen...sing.
Eyes of all kind....
Yes...yes you are.
Home...where the heart is.
For her soldiers!!!
For their cause... and their future.
All of you....
Oh Regefall....
!!!
Oh, I don't doubt it!!!
Hmmm... a brave speaker.
You just had to say it!!!
With how things are, totally.
Awww, they're named after each other.
!!!
By the power of Alemaneia...and friendship!!!
It's on now!!!
Prepare for attack!!!
Front line?
MARCH!!!
OH jeez, what is it now?
Wait....
Oh man, I was right!!!
Yeah... that's not gonna happen.
And a war she will end!!!
Yes... equal ground!!!
She's gonna make the first move....
Focus on your target... don't lose focus. Look away once, and your dead!
Right into enemy territory.
KIng to Queen.
Wait, what?!
...
...
...
...
...
Shit.
This fanfic is really good, surprisingly; 5/5!
Need an update bruh, don't tell me this is it.
Good story. Looking forward towards reading more.
I can’t believe that you just left off there for so long!
Also damn, with the amount you have written and all the commissions you have gotten, you could make some really good hard copies of your stories.

LOL thankfully I’m trying to pick this back up as we speak! And I’ve actually only done 2 commissions in the past, none of them even recent, and one still not posted as per the requester.
Thanks! :D

I await the results. 👀
