Aquila lowers the military report in his hand. The Army's war games have begun once again and rather than giving the status reports to the general's in charge, the battalion commanders somehow circumnavigate the chain of command and give it directly to him. Staring at the papers for a moment more, he simply drops them on the ground and gets up from his desk to stare at the picturesque lake and forest outside of his office. Letting out a tired sigh, Aquila turns back to his desk and picks up a recent intelligence report on Izalith. The nation, despite not being close to Kenso, seems to be an oddity when compared to others. From the peculiar flora and fauna, to the information on the enigmatic Queen and 'Fair Lady', the land seems almost alien. However the connections that an alliance would provide on South Gilead, overshadow the mystery that is Izalith. The trade and political ramifications would certainly benefit such a small and rather isolated island such as Kenso. Removing paper and pen from somewhere amid the stacks of reports and missives, Aquila pulls out his mobile with his other free hand and begins to dial. "....Henrik." Pausing for a moment, the blonde haired leader nods his head, beginning to write. "We'll discuss your...disgraceful behaviour later. Come deliver something for me." Spoiler: click to toggle |

Charlotte felt something vibrate against her ribs gently. She stood and bowed to the Fair Lady and to the Dawinians and left. Apparently she'd received a rather message her secretary had deemed urgent. It took the young queen a few minutes to make it back to a royal marauder. Inside was her secretary already waiting with the letter. Charlotte buckled in and took it as the vehicle pulled out and began it's ascent through the tunnels away from the Domain. Charlotte looked over the letter, raising an eyebrow concerning the sender. "A divine emperor proceeding over a rogue nation. Well if anything dialogue between our two nations won't be boring." It took the marauder roughly half an hour to navigate to the royal palace in the capital, really it was more of a fort with part of it underground however. Soon enough Charlotte was in her study typing a response. Izalithian response to Heavenly Jade Emperor Aquila Cyneric Tenskwatawa Lygatto of The Rogue Nation of Kenso

Henrik glares out the window of the airplane, clearly unhappy with the duty assigned to him by his father and Emperor. Looking down at the small tablet, he blinks as various incomplete dossiers on Izalith's leadership pop up. Blinking, the young blonde haired man zooms into the picture at the top of the report, a bemused expression on his face at seeing the masked appearances of the Queen and the 'Fair Lady'. "....What a pain." The plane bounces slightly as the wheels make contact with the tarmac, jolting Henrik out of his revere. Standing up and smoothing out his suit, he turns to his personal aide, a young Lieutenant by the name of Jorge Ozaka. Jorge stands up with Henrik, collecting the papers and tablet. "Remember sir, you can't afford to mess this up. Just stay polite and follow the directions the Emperor gave to us. It's important we be on good terms with the Izalithians." Without a word, Henrik brushes past the young officer and heads to the exit of the plane, shifting his features into a more pleasant visage. |

The day soon arrived for the Queen to entertain the new delegation from Kenso and begin diplomatic procedure. She wasn't sure what to make of the fact that the representative for Kenso was the Emperor's bastard son, Henrik Lygatto. The idea that a heavenly being on the mortal coil had accidentally managed to impregnate someone he wasn't married to gave Charlotte doubts concerning the word 'pure' she'd seen stamped around so often. Pushing any assumptions aside, Charlotte stood in full uniform with two guards either side of her as she waited for the Kenso party to complete disembarking. She looked across the tarmac towards the heart of the Izalith mega city and sighed. Dealing with foreigners was easily the part of her job she disliked the most. Not that she had the right to complain. When the man and his escort reached her party near the terminal Charlotte greet them politely. "It's an honor to meet you, I am Queen Charlotte Lordran II of Izalith, the UCSS and I welcome you to our nation." she nodded her ornate full helmet towards them after speaking and waited for the response. |

Stepping to the diminutive Queen, Henrik bows at the waist, a pleasant but rather empty smile on his face. The robes he finds himself wearing flutter in the wind, as he glance at Jorge, who if possible is bowing even lower than him. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am Henrik Lygatto; the Emperor has sent my ....aide and I in his stead. " Standing straight, Henrik briefly turns to observe his surroundings, a blonde eyebrow raised. "I must say, this city had defieedmy expectations." He blinks for a moment, before bowing his head slightly. "I apologise if that seemed disrespectful, it just came as a surprise considering the lack of information our nation has on the UCSS." Adjusting his suit, Henrik silently let's out a relieved sigh as he decided to forgo the usual formal attire diplomats are forced to wear and instead opting for the black naval uniform common to high ranked officers. |

"I think your bigger issue would be finding truthful information. Izalith is quite often slandered by governmental systems and societies dominated by a lust for money and fear of the different." Charlotte was being fairly preachy, however the rather lame body language from her guest was having a marvelous effect at dispersing her interest. She looked at his retainer for a few moments and then turned back. "We'll be having our discussions within the palace. Don't get your hopes up though, it's primarily a fortification and many of it's once unused partitions have been reformatted for more applicable uses." Charlotte had garnered quite an odd reaction when she refurbished a several halls and foyers of the palace into military grade facilities and public services. Charlotte walked with them temporarily before signaling for them to enter a simple black limousine. She however got into an armored car, her body language showed she wasn't fond of the image or waste of resources of something decadent like a limousine. Soon enough the Kenso delegates were driven through the towering complexes and streets of the capital. All of the people were uniformed and masked in some way. Sex, race and age unable to be distinguished as they went about their day. Several white robed and hooded figures still adorned with gloves and masks could be seen shepherding a large group of school aged children down the sidewalk. The children's masks only covered their mouths and noses however. After several minutes of little traffic due to guards waving the vehicles through the delegation soon found itself passing through several checkpoints. A few moments later they were within the palace itself. Charlotte made no small talk as guards escorted the group into a rather quaintly furnished study, it did have room for a medium size round table and several identical leather chairs however. After motioning for everyone to be seated, Charlotte removed her helmet and placed it in the arms of a guard standing behind her as she sipped on a glass of water. The pale face, near white hair and indigo eyes of the child queen scanned the two people before her rather calmly. She seemed rather neutral about the whole affair. "It truly is a pleasure to host you here. I hope you can forgive me for not making this meeting a little more lavish, sadly though I've deemed the resources and funds that would have been used better repurposed elsewhere. Every little bit counts after all." Her thin gloved hands interlocked fingers on the table as she looked at the bastard child of the "holy" Emperor. "Any particular taste as to where we start?" |

"I believe that we should start at announcing our intentions. We wish to gain a foothold on both South and North Gilead, and believe that making ties with Izalith will be a decent place to start at." Hesitating for a moment, Henrik raises his hands up and gives an easy smile. "Not militarily of course...we most likely would not survive if it came to fighting; but through trade and social agreements." He hesitates once again at the young queen's gaze, caught off guard by her demeanor considering her age. Henrik turns to look at Jorge for a moment, raising an eyebrow as the aide taps him on the shoulder and whispers in his ear. A brief scowl comes to the blonde man's face, before he nods composing himself and putting on a blank face. "Truthfully, my fa-...excuse me, the Emperor believes that Izalith has much to offer Kenso and would be honoured to enter a period of friendship and cooperation between our two nations." |

Charlotte's gaze was rather harsh, she was however expressionless. Her body language was rather cold and restricted. "The way you word that is rather intriguing. Define 'foothold', if you don't mind of course." She brought her thin fingertips to her chin as her head slightly tilted. "However before that I must apologize in advance and ask my own question. Is your father divine or divinely appointed? If the latter, by whom specifically? I'm sure such an individual as yourself would have noticed that this nation is rather... spiritually focused. My curiosity is simply overwhelming." Charlotte's tone was polite, she offered a small smile as she waited for the response. |

"We wish to expand ourselves economically Nothing as extreme as an invasion, unless it's an invasion of the market." Henrik laughs weakly at his own joke, knowing how bad it was in an attempt to break the tension. He hesitates a moment before, letting out a sigh, rubbing the back of his head in an unconscious show of exasperation. "Divine according to the natives and converts to Taoism. However most of the country are not indigenous to Kenso. Unlike the previous two Emperor's, my father tends to not force people to convert to the state religion. Which ironically is more in line with our faith than my grandfather and great-grandfather's views." |

Charlotte gave a half smile at the joke and raised an eyebrow at his description of the emperor's divinity and reverence. The petite girl interlocked her fingers daintily as she observed the man's rather nervous ticks. She didn't really feel his body language now fit in with her first impression of him. Maybe he's under a lot of pressure, should she take that as a compliment? "As you're most likely aware quite a few nations are advocating and investing in increased trade. Small, luxury, raw materials, etc. Izalith of course relies entirely on it's government run office of trade for all of it's transactions and deals. So I must thank you for the patience you and you're nation are showing in acquiring trade agreements with us." Charlotte sighed as she looked into the man's eyes again. She remembered how paranoid and terrified she'd been deep down at the UN meeting and at various other occasions. She knew how uncomfortable and nightmarish it was to be under great pressure and Henrik evidently wasn't exactly enjoying himself. Charlotte slid herself off her chair and crossed the room getting a closer look at Henrik and his adviser. "Izalith primarily deals in herbs and spices, alcohol, drugs, batteries, rare earths and metals. Obviously we'll need to set up an agreement that allows easy transition considering Izalith is focusing on generating capital to offset recent expenditures. I'm our bookkeepers and traders will be able to negotiate with your companies and find a nice balance that benefits both nations adequately." Charlotte was still practically Henrik's height even though she was standing and he was sitting. Which made it easier for her to talk to him. Maybe she wouldn't have to spend 10 minutes in the bath massaging her neck this time. "Do you have anything in particular you would like to add? I don't wish for your first impression of me to be that I was rude and dismissive. I'm sure you can imagine that my line of work can be fairly stressful. Or would the two of you like to get something to eat?" Charlotte raised her hands either side in a gesture of indifference and smiled "Our culture is a little odd concerning what is rude or not and what is proper or not but I'm sure you'll ease in quickly." Charlotte waited for the response as she tried to brush a small crease out of her sleeve. |

Henrik looks visibly startled at Charlotte's advance, but remains still. He shoots a quick glance over to his advisor before relaxing, leaning forward in just seat and clasping his hands, contemplating Charlotte's offer.. "I don't have any questions." Henrik smiles, and straightens in his chair, some of his discomfort fading. Nevertheless, this being his first real diplomatic assignment since being recognised by his father, he remains tense not willing to screw this up. "Stern and somewhat intimidating seems more fitting, to be honest. I don't have the experience the other...diplomats have. I should be the one apologising for failing to correctly conveying my intentions." Henrik stands up, quickly followed by Jorge before they both bow at the waist. "We humbly accept your offer for lunch, your Majesty." |

After a charming lunch and an odd altercation with a large spider crawling from a window onto the Kenso prince's leg everything went very well. The Queen agreed to Hendrik's requests to open up more trade opportunities and asked if proper dialogue could be opened between the two nations to aid in this collaboration. She felt Hendrik and his aid's work and participation was most acceptable. |
