Richard had been expecting it for some time, while he had been here for his own political reasoning's, he had also been sent here by the government itself. He had, had to wait until the time was right and by the looks of things it was, which was great, Richard had been wanting to get to work on this for some time, he had just expected it so soon that was all. Richard though was certainly up to the task and would follow it through to the end. Richard had been commissioned by the power of the British Government and its king to, seek out an alliance with France, something that Richard would gladly do by any means necessary, strengthening the bonds between the two countries was paramount. Though Richard suspected it would be difficult he was more than up to the task, France and Britain after all had never been the best of friend's, considering the wars they had had against one another. Richard also would discuss the current state of the two countries and France other neighbours, such as Spain, which Richard could try and spin an angle on, or at least one of the other neighbouring countries. Contact with the royal advisor's had already been made, a meeting was set up, the Boy King Henri V would certainly be there, however until he's older it’s the advisor's that hold all the real power, something that was unavoidable for the King and somewhat sad that the boy was being controlled, however the Chouannerie's interest would be easily kept whole with a boy king. Richard was fine with this mainly because of his support of the Chouannerie, and he would certainly in his talks be finding a way to make something benefit them then alliances always held benefits. Richard was also interested to see if the Boy King would involve himself at all or sit back and observes the matters at hand, it should be interesting. Richard was looking forward to it every minute of it. The man was in one of the royal palaces at this very moment, one of the many but one of them outside of France, this meeting was private and not really well known about, yes people knew he was in France but not for what reason. Richard was very careful about who he disclosed his reasons to, one he did not want his enemies finding out, the Rabble on the street did not deserve to know and of course the enemies of the Chouannerie might try something. Richard sighed to himself thinking calmly having left his wife Victoria at home with the children, having another row over another child. She wanted a daughter, while he would love to oblige, her health was more important than a new baby, what if she could not live to see the child, Family was everything and if one was lost what then would you do ? He chose not to dwell on this for now, there were more important matters and as he paced the corridors of the palace stopping only for a moment to look on a portrait of a king of old. He Smiled almost his head brimming with ideas, lies truths just about anything to see him trough the day, he was not nervous, no he was confident, confident of success, even if it was not a full success, and if it ended in failure he would certainly try again. Richard was wearing French colours, not wanting to displease his hosts he had thought it best to not only dress in their colours but also use their language, not English which was his native tongue. Richard found himself ripped from his thoughts when the person who he had met at the door's came back he bowed politely as the man bowed back. "Monesiur if you would follow me, they are ready to begin," The man told him causing Richard to turn and follow as the man headed for the double doors opening them, Richard kept his cane at his side walking carefully head held high as it should be. Here on official business, he waited for his announcement. |
