A Party in the Clouds: Celebration at the Palace of Lights

[hyraemous]

Looking down at the stained carpet.

Sounds like you don't mind wasting a few Franc, now do you?

Fuck the Canrillaise; we don't play by their rules. You'd find better luck with the Lourennais-loving Aristocrats. He married Jacquil, after all.

I? I'm the Yeudish money that runs this world. Including your country, Hulanevek.

He let the last sentence linger. He put his hands inside both pant pockets, standing in what he hoped would be perceived as a power pose.

The note in his mind.

After a few seconds, and holding a smirk.

Then read me that note.

[GreekIdiot]

After a few seconds, and holding a smirk.

Then read me that note.

Sikreet sighed, trying to hide his slight inebriation.

You do realise there are 8 Gems, right?

Sternly.

Read me the note.

[GreekIdiot]

Sternly.

Read me the note.

Sikreet felt a small rush of panic. A barrage of outcomes went through his mind. Who was he kidding, he was not a master plotter. He was not him.

The seconds lingered, yet he stood there in silence.

Sikreet felt a small rush of panic. A barrage of outcomes went through his mind. Who was he kidding, he was not a master plotter. He was not him.

The seconds lingered, yet he stood there in silence.

Also standing in silence for a second or two, before adding:

Or you will have proven that your money runs you out of the house that Lourenne now controls.

Hulanevek would chuckle after that statement.

High Chancellor Rochelle Larosiere, speaking to Peter Thaller.

Ah Bonsoir, Mr. Thaller. I/ am pleased to meet you. And I see you represent the Dual-Republic. I have witnessed the success of your businesses in Beaumont-sur-Mer, I must congratulate you.

I see you want to talk businness. I am all ears.

Well, you see, there are two things, first of all we would like to open some channels in regards to communication about Dovani, as you might have noticed, the dual-republic is jointly administering the new midway channel and seeking to expand its economic partnerships and interests onto the continent. We would of course not do anything that would anger Lourenne, so this is more of a gesture of friendship. Secondly, industrial interest groups have come to me to try to lucrate green financing from Lourenne and potential R&D partnerships. You see the growing middle-class of Narikaton & Darnussia is very environmentally aware.

It is now Midnight at Lac des Lumieres. The Party becomes ever more tense among certain individuals. The party continues with laughter, surprises, and excellent service. The night continues, but tension and politics take over.

High Chancellor Rochelle Larosiere, speaking to Peter Thaller.

Ah of course, I must reaffirm you mister Thaller, the United Kingdom would not be angered by your decision to invest in Dovani. We are a nation of possibility after all. We welcome several partners to trade with us and cooperate with us.

That being said, we are very happy to help the Dual-Republic seek out green ventures--that is what we are known for after all. I am almost certain that my friend, Victor Dechambeau, at Vertonel Bank would be happy to provide assistance to you. He is always eager to get Vertonel into the thick of it.

I for one am certain that the private sector in Lourenne is interested in your proposals. Do you have something I can relay to them?

[GreekIdiot]

Also standing in silence for a second or two, before adding:

Hulanevek would chuckle after that statement.

Sikreet's left eye twitched with momentary rage at that chuckle.

He stepped forward, grabbed the Hulanevek by the neck with force, and after 1.5 seconds of a murderous stare, he kissed him.

His mind still racing on that note; and calamity, catastrophe.

He knew, after all.

Of the endgame.

Well thank you madame High Channcelor. Then I will instruct my foreign ministry to still inform you of plans the Dual-republic might have in Dovani.

Perfect, great. I am very happy to hear that. Yes, if you would relay to him this number *give the Chancellor a note* to contact the Foreign Minister and tell him that of course investment or loans will be guaranteed by the government of the dual-republic. We would be happy if our business might get financing from them. Thank you very much High Chancellor, I hope for very fruitful partnerships. If there is anything you need from us, feel always free to turn to Bannerhafen. *nods*
