The Feast of Affiance - A royal invitation

So I've been tinkering with a short story idea, and out of it blossomed some concepts that appealed to my artistic side.

Saving most of the details for when the story is published, it's set in an alternate universe where the Haddocks are the Norwegian Royal Family.

20 year-old Hamish Haddock the Third is Crown Prince of the Norwegian Royal Family.  He has now come of age and as dictated by tradition he is to take part in the Feast of Affiance, a ceremony where he announces who he has chosen to be his fiancé.  Anyone in his position would naturally be very nervous... unfortunately there's the additional small problem that he hasn't actually proposed to anyone.

For those who're interested, I've uploaded a larger version of the crest here.
For those who wish to read the story, it can be found here.
