Five minutes later, the doors were opened and Summers and her aides were ushered into the Throne Hall Atrium. It was a simple, but very lavish entryway. There were chandeliers hanging high above the floor, at least a story or better. Lights covered the walls on the inside of the Atrium, showing dark-colored painted walls, numerous oil paintings by some of Sanctuary's best artists, and colorful tapestry. Directly in front of the Goldecian delegation was a large double-door entrance. This led into the heart of Throne Hall, where many of the offices and rooms laid.

All of a sudden, the double-doors began to open. The more sun-lit Atrium dimmed slightly as the more artificially-lit Centrefuge opened beyond them. Out came several guardsmen, armed with short sabres and sidearm pistols. In the center of their formation stood a tall man wearing an elaborate robe, covered in gold and diamonds. He stood approximately six feet, three inches tall and had to weight at least two hundred and forty pounds. He had to be anywhere between forty-five and fifty years of age, and had a neatly-trimmed moustache and beard. Atop his brown, yet graying long hair sat a gold, regal crown. This man was Leoric, King of Khanduras and High King of the Seven Kingdoms of Sanctuary.

The King stepped out of the guards' formations and addressed Summers, "Greetings, Madame Summers and guests. I am Leoric, King of Khanduras and the High King of the Seven Kingdoms. It is my distinct pleasure and honor to welcome to Sanctuary and my esteemed Throne Hall. I trust you had a good trip through Tristram?"

Jane Summers was impressed by the throne hall , it was grand but understated an classy. Totally different to the grandeur of the palace at Het Loo. She looked at the paintings of previous great kings some of which would not have had an entirely good view of Goldecia. How times had changed!

When the king stepped out of the guards formation Jane Summers bowed and said "Its my pleasure to meet you your majesty" and handed him a special cup in the shape of King Leoric with a crown made by the finest porcelain companies in Goldecia who had made the sets for the royal house in Goldecia since the 1700's.

King Leoric took the gift from Summers and looked it over for a moment. "Madame Summers, you didn't have to bring a gift to me. Regardless, it is a kind gesture and I thank you. Shall we proceed to the Conference Room? My advisors are awaiting."

The King and the Goldecians made their way to the West Conference Room, where a Sanctuarian flag stood at one end of the table and a Goldecian one at the other end. In the center of the room was a giant television screen. The table at which the negotiations were to take place nearly stretched the whole length of the room. The King sat at one end of the table, sitting on a throne-like revolving chair. Leoric pointed to a group of chairs at the south end of the table, and the Archbishop Lazarus, fresh from his trip to Parliament, shook Summers' hand and pulled the chair out for Summers to sit. The delegations then began to take seats.

Jane gratiously shook his hand and greeted him. She was having the red carpet rolled out for her!
Now was time for business, she knew this was important to Goldecia and the more connected they were the better.

She started "As you know both our Kingdoms have a rich history some of the history between us not so good and some of it good. What we want to do is build on friendships and work together more for the benefit of both our nations. The simple essance of what we are proposing is a free trade treaty so their is less tariffs for both our goods and more choice for customers, co-operation between universities to boost science so allowing our universities and companies to work together easier and encouraging them to do so and finally some co-operation on policing , our idea is if a criminal or suspect is on your database and wanted for a crime he or she appears on ours and if they try to escape we'll arrest them and extradite them back and vice versa. I know this is close co-operation but we could all benefit.So what do you think?" .

King Leoric listens to the Goldecian proposals intently. When Summers is finished, the Archbishop Lazarus, Leoric's chief adviser, opens the Sanctuarian response, "Your proposals are intriguing, madame, but I have a few questions. For one, why should tariffs be so low that nobody makes money? Everyone wants to make good money I'm sure. A lot of our merchants in Caldeum and Lut Gholein would not be very pleased if they are constantly losing money on a free trade treaty."

Then the Aranochian Minister of Commerce, Kaelan al-Hazir, pipes up, "I'm sure, your Eminence, that companies will earn a sizable share of the sales profits when their products are sold in Goldecia. I'd say about 70% of total sale profits going back to firms would easily balance out the money they may lose on say shipping and receiving back and forth between our ports and Goldecian ones."

On the cooperation of universities and companies, the Kehjistani Minister of Technology, Bashir Marteen, stated, "I am sure that many of esteemed schools and firms would be more than willing to create cooperative arrangements with those in Goldecia."

The policing issue raised the eyes of King Leoric himself, who said, "Not one of the seven kingdoms have any sort of criminal database, though the question had been raised amongst us several times. That will be something we will have to work out at a later opportunity. As far as extradition is concerned, I personally have no problem with that arrangement."

Jane Summers said "The only people who make money from tariffs are governments it actually costs the businessmen and our businessmen commonly say freer trade would boost their business and technology. So cutting import duty between our nations so its a totally free market will increase trade both ways and mean people can spend money on more goods creating more jobs.It is likely the only firms to struggle will be uncompetitive firms"

She continued "Its great that universities would co-operate hopefully we can have a tech boom.We are open to just extradition on the crime front."

King Leoric responded, "A free-trade treaty is something that all seven kingdoms of Sanctuary will have to agree upon, Madame Summers. Westmarch and Kehjistan certainly won't endear to this idea immediately. The Royal Council of Sanctuary, a meeting of all seven kings in this realm, will discuss in great detail when we meet in about a week or so."

Jane smiled "its understandable it needs to be considered by all the kingdoms after all we don't want to rush into something like this." It seemed that was all the discussion there was to be had. She then said "By the way our government wanted to invite The Sanctuary to the Kingdom Games in Goudadam when the sports park is completed in 2 years.We wish to invite all the Kingdoms of the world to promote friendship and also build up friendly competition between Kingdoms. You might want to consider hosting one of the games in the future even." No Avatar

Leoric replied, "It will be under consideration."

Seeing the Goldecians preparing to leave, Leoric then said, "Is your government in need of extra resources by chance?"

Jane Summers was surprised by the question and respectfully answered "We're doing alright at the moment. Ever since us conservatives got in power the economy has rose dramatically.However one thing we culd always do with is a cheap energy supply for our nation. We are highly dependent on some nations that are shall we say not so nice nations." No Avatar

As soon as Summers made the comment about the conservatives in Goldecia, the Archbishop Lazarus rolled his eyes and slightly shook his head, as if in disapproval. King Leoric didn't see it, but he did say, "Very well. If you need anything just let us know. Have a safe trip back home to Goldecia. He stood and bowed to the Goldecians. The rest of the King's ministers did the same.
