"One message from Seymour Demitract, sir."

Osmadius turned and took the letter from the messanger's gloved hand. He bowed and ran off as Osmadius was left alone with the small letter, which bore the elaborate wax print upon the envelope. It was purple wax, with two snakes climbing tall tree, which a robin was a the top of.

Reaching for his paper knife, he cut open the letter with practiced ease and swiftness, wondering why Foreign Relations would send a note.

Osmodius himself was the Head of Diplomacy, and with this organisation which Talaran had adopted, Osmadius had been chosen to be the Head of it. Of course, it was split into numerous division, so that everyone could concentrate upon thier own tasks. Foriegn Relations was goverened by Seymour, a man which Osmadius respected....but certainly did not trust. He had the way of a serpant, his calm voice always seemed to hint his sarcasm. He could convince someone black was in reality, white, and to a devout nun that God did not exist. Seymour was not to be trusted, and watched carefully Osmadius thought in warning to himself.

Seymour's letter was requesting if he could go to represent Talaran in this corination, in his regular tiny, flourishing handwriting which indicated a highly educated man.

Osmadius picked up a piece of paper and wrote in his hurried handwriting an acceptace to his proposal. A messanger picked it up and wennt to run off.

"Oh, and one more thing." Osmadius said, as an afterthought to the messanger.

"Ask the Censors for thier finest and most trusted bodyguard. I want someone to protect Seymour." Osmadius said. After the messager had left, he said quietly, continuing his sentance.

"...And to make sure that bastard does not pull anything."

(The actual gist of Seymour's letter was this, admist the usual pleasentries and formalities)

I would like to attend this coronation, for I am Seymour Demitract, the head of Foriegn Relations. I will be bringing one bodyguard. I look forward to meeting you, and learning of your people.

Can any of your leaders come?........ this is a kind of special event but we can let you come.

The puppet leader of The Triton Fleet, the only Fief to GHI has been asked to come to the Coronation but he willfully refused and said he was far to busy trying to stop any possible rebellion against him since his country was annexed. He is known to dispise the all Royal Family's since his father was dismissed because he did not follow order's in the battle for Guca during the invasion by Trixia. He was heard by one of my spies to have said the king was an illegitimate b*stard. It will take about 1/2 a day for the King to hear this news.

Can any of your leaders come?........ this is a kind of special event but we can let you come.

Seymour inwardly was slightly annoyed. He did not want Osmadius coming along, for Seymour felt that he would screw things up. And in any case, Osmadius, for all of his abilities.....events were not his speciality. Negotiations...now there was something Osmadius could do. But parties and social events? No. Seymour, for all his high esteem for himself, knew his weaknesses...and his strengths. And he knew that he had a quicksliver toungue and a sharp wit and humor, which when he chose, could be fully used to his advantage.

No. Osmadius did not need to know that they had requested for the Head of Diplomacy. And the Pranocrator......that was simply out of the question. No one ever saw who ruled this nation. Only the agents to which whoever it was, came in the odd time, dressed in black and white, saying little, often only carrying a note. No-one had seen the actual ruler of Talaran. The actual guiding force of Talaran, which checked up on the groups of Diplomacy, Law, Religon and Arcane & Tech, was the Panocrator.

What Osmadius did not know, did not hurt him. And he was hardlyt going to kick up a fuss when he did not have to go to a party.

"I regretfully inform you that the Head of Diplomacy, Osmodius cannot attend this joyous occasion, and the method of which Talaran is governed does not have a single ruler as such. A guiding hand, yes, but that organisation never appears in public. "

And let alone to us! Seymour thought afterwards.

Seymour heard the soft clicks of armoured heels upon the stone floor of his quiet sancuary from the stupidity of others. Aparantly, someone was the exception to the rule.

"Leave me be, you know I do not like Censors in here" Seymour snapped.

The Censors were eccentally the police, the judges, the jury and the executioners of Talaran. They ranged in thier specific roles, but they were, for the main part, the publics main line of defence against anarchy and chaos. And they did a fine job of it too.

"I am afraid you will have to get used to have me around you. I am to escort you on this trip, to guard you against any attempts on your life." The Censor said.

Seymour would have groaned out loud and cursed if he had not known better. Osmadius knew that he hated this particular individual, even though he was the best bodyguard there was. Seymour said nothing and sent his reply.

So that's a no then........ The Emporer will not be very pleased........ :evil:

(OOC There is no actual leader of Talaran, or at least, it is mroe like a secret organisation which holds the strings. Each side of the goverment is held by each "head" and then it is split into different sections. For example, Diplomacy. Osmadius is head of Diplomacy, yet that is broken down into Trade, Public Relations, Foreign Relations. Seymour is the head of Foreign Relations. For most foriegn negotiations and such, it will involve Seymour. Osmadius will step into one of these events if other sides of the goverment are required, as in if trade talks and negotitians are being made, My head of Trade, head of Foreign Relations and Head of Dpilomacy (because he overlooks both) would attend.

The Prantocrators, are never seen. Maybe servants of them, to inform if something is going wrong, but enough of that.

Just the way my nation works.)

strange............

Turlen will send its Head of Foreign Affairs and Head of Foreign trade. We hope there will be time after the coronations for a little trade-based discussion...? They also bring a flock of solid gold flamencos for the emperors garden as a coronation present.

Secretary of State Tom Alder will attend to corranation. Two C-5 Galaxies will be flying in a motorcade along with 95 Secret Service Agents. Secretary Alder will arrive in a G-V buisness jet.
40 Agents will accompany the Secretary to the corination whilst the rest will secure the aircraft being used at the airport of your choosing. Our security services also request a dossier on any known threats to the Emperor so that they can be fully prepared for any likely occurance.
President Anderson has expressed his willingness to become aquainted with the new Emperor.
