A letter was sent on behalf of Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess of Archades, Nicolette Deveraux. It was delivered, by hand, to the leaders of each region on the Twelfth of September. It was addressed personally, given with individual times and dates for the following meeting slot. Each man, for they were all men, was given the option of bringing company in the form of their family or their vassal leaders or could even send an advisor in their stead, but all were expected to have representation attend at the correct date and time. After all, they had sworn loyalty to the throne – to his cousin, so Julien was not going to be patience in face of excuses or tardiness.
So, what was this all about?
Julien’s first big and important task since his cousin’s coronation had passed was to create something of a census. He would be talking business, finance, family, alliance and disputes with each of those he met with. He would want to know everything, and all of it would be recorded down. This was important, it was a clinical organisation of the attributes of the country. It satisfied his curiosity in many ways, and he had already formulated several sticky questions to ask. But, there was a tedium to be expected also from the coming days, as had been proven the days prior when he had embarked upon the first round of these meetings.
After yesterday to recompose himself and spend a little time with his mind out of business, today began the next. And today was different to the others, for today he was not meeting with the Dukes of other regions, but instead he was being given the opportunity to meet with the Counts of their Duchy. To nurture a bond that came with close proximity to the crown. Today he would meet with two Counts, both older than himself but both young in their ruling.
A glance at the paper before him, as a knock came at the door, saw him stand to receive the Count of Lavigne.
