Charlotte gathered some food, some Cod, no peas though. To her mind they were just like snot, a bad experience from childhood putting her off the things for life. She took a seat with the others and was slightly surprised that the Morelander King was eating like a savage. Naturally she didn't say anything and listened carefully to what her neighbour Queen Elisabeth had to say. While she had no ultimate authority in Valen she was confident enough in what she was about to say to ensure that it would become the nations official response "Your Majesty knows that Valen has, does and forever will stand shoulder to shoulder with Medusalin. Many of us around the table are royals and it is historically known many royals refer to each other as "cousin" in a almost fraternity sense of the word. In many ways though Valen and Medusalin are cousins. We've a sad history that many of the families here can trace their own lineage back to Valen. As such we are pleased to accept your offer of like for like tariffs. While it will be His Majesty King Willem who will set tariffs at our end I'm certain that it will be at a low level. There is a lot we can do to help each other. As for the population matter we have very few asylum seekers or refugees heading to Valen, maybe its because of the actions of East Moreland evacuating so many from troubles those able to get to Alba Karinya see them as an obvious place to head to." She shrugged her shoulders. "We will though make it part of our process that any arriving in Valen have it made clear, they can sit and wait while their application runs through our system which will place strict controls on them until their case is determined. This process often lasts just over six months. Alternatively they can take up your offer. That's the position we'll take."
