Some legacies are built on laws.
Others are built on…long-forgotten Swiss vaults, mysterious paintings, and an “ancestral” closet that may or may not open via facial recognition.
Welcome to Operation Inheritance, the latest chapter in the ever-unfolding saga of Velda Shellcraft, the Resibo Republic’s eternal First Lady and part-time enchantress of estate litigation.
👑 The Mission
After her latest beauty sleep in her cryogenic vanity chamber, Imeldita Shellshell emerged with a divine vision:
“The time has come. The jewels must be unfrozen… and so must our frozen accounts.”
Her goal?
To reclaim every tiara, portrait, and forgotten island allegedly “gifted by destiny” to the Shellshell dynasty.

🧬 Bumbum Mermakmak – Dutiful son, occasionally confused
Quote:
“Mama, is this legal?”
Response:
“Legal is a state of mind, Bumbum.”
He mostly follows her with a clipboard and a worried smile, wearing a suit 2 sizes too tight from stress bloating.
🧠 Matti Pawmaldezz – Nephew, fixer, footnote-eraser
Quote:
“Auntie, I can make the paper trail disappear. But the trail of perfume is too strong.”
He handles documents, diversions, and designer decoys. Code name: “Gucci Ghost”.
💋 Lutsina Seasnatch – The not-so-secret weapon
Brought in for “fashion diplomacy,” she distracts customs officers with her backless gowns while a forklift moves gold bars behind her.
🏛️ Scene One: The Vault Awakens
Imeldita, flanked by a battalion of butlers, descends into her marble-clad basement where Vault #7 hums with suppressed wealth. A retina scan fails. She huffs:
“Try my cheekbone. It’s the original blueprint.”
The door opens. Inside:
- 47 boxes labeled “Wedding Gifts from Presidents”
- An unopened Rembrandt (“I thought it was a mirror”)
- A solid gold bidet inscribed with “To My Queen of Queens – Anwar”
🪪 Scene Two: The Geneva Gambit
Operation Inheritance hits its stride in Switzerland, where Imeldita demands her “ancestral funds” be released. Bankers hesitate.
She simply fans herself with a copy of her 1985 Vogue cover.
Minutes later, a mysterious fire alarm distracts staff while Matti uploads a new set of forged family trees claiming the Shellshells are descended from the Habsburgs.
📺 Scene Three: The Documentary Diversion
To throw off investigators, Lutsina produces a Netflix docu-drama titled:
“The Heir-ness: Misunderstood, Misquoted, Millionaire.”
Sardina Lutra briefly appears to say, “I do not condone… but I do respect the branding.”
🔐 Scene Four: The Final Safe
In an undisclosed location beneath the Resibo Senate, they find a final biometric vault labeled “Do Not Touch Unless Divine.”
It opens to reveal:
- A rare emerald called “The Scream of Democracy”
- The last unshredded copy of the 1973 Constitution
- A handwritten note: “In case of coup, add glitter.”
⚖️ Scene Five: The Courtroom Catwalk
When summoned to defend her claims, Imeldita arrives in a peacock-feathered gown and stuns the courtroom into silence.
Her statement?
“I don’t remember stealing. But I do remember being stunning.”
The judge weeps. Case adjourned.
