High Chancellor, Eugenie Cascabel-Adiore :
Your Grace,
The United Kingdom of Lourenne and the Union of Canrille thanks you and His Majesty's Government for this most humble invitation to the imperial capital.
It is not often that our dignitaries and representatives travel to Fort William and receive a much necessary reception. We thank you for your consideration and your immediate thoughtfulness in hosting this conference. As it is so, we are here to discuss the future of our friendship and our status as global leaders for the next century.
We would like to bring forward that we have long supported Luthorian leadership since the days of Dorvish hegemony. We have spent our resources, mitigated foreign affairs, and supported Luthori for ages to see them succeed within Artanian affairs. Yet, we find ourselves here at this conference to reaffirm these ties when they should have been cemented long ago.
My government and those before me, have felt that ambition and self-centered ideologies have created a distance between the Union and the Empire. The Palace of Oisy (RMIA), can confirm through several years of diplomacy that Luthori remains a consistently inconsistent partner within Artania for the aforementioned reasons. Such is the reasoning for our deepened commitment to Dunburg and even Bannerhaffen.
I believe this conference will finally address some of our concerns we hold against the Empire. We appreciate our relationship, but believe it is held back by uncontrollable forces on our part. We believe that a special partnership with the Empire would be beneficial to our respective regions and to world security, yet we cannot engage with what we do not know: does Luthori think the same about our relationship? Or are we another step in Luthori's rise to hegemony?
Of course, my statement initiates an accusatory sentiment, but it is not to sound bad of the Empire, but to expose the position the Empire has forced us to adopt.
The United Kingdom holds the ideals of cooperation and amicable relationships true to is foreign policy. We do not seek to coerce, to cause fear, or to instill a sense of distrust. Our benevolent and humanitarian ideologies exist and will continue to exist. We can confirm to Luthori that the United Kingdom is committed to a long-standing, beneficial relationship. If you doubt our commitment, or our resolve, we have several partners who can speak on our behalf.
Therefore, we ask the Empire to engage with our concerns with truth and with utmost respect as we have stated them. We are open to hear the perspectives of His Majesty's Government.
Thank you.
