An Invitation To The Empire Of Ikhan
It was with dismay that I received news of the attempt against the life of His Imperial Highness, Eshai-va Esik I Vahram ve Sherkoz. Just a few short years ago my predecessor, Empress Emerita Beatrice, was the target of an assassin's bullet. If there is anything the First Empire may do to be of assistance the Empire of Ikhan need only inform us of what is required. Too often we see assassins attempting to claim the lives of those who look after their People, and while we may never eliminate the possibility of its occurrence, I am confident we may all take steps to ensure each attempt ends in failure, with the perpetrators brought to face the full force of justice.
While I recognize that times are trying at present I do not believe that our two Empires have engaged one another despite being such close neighbours. In those interests I wish to open the prospect for discussions to take place between Rokkenjima and Ikhan, exploring areas of mutual interest and benefit while ensuring that our border is harmonious and fertile to cross-border opportunities for trade, commerce and joint economic prosperity. Whether or not we should meet in Rokkenjima or your nation, I look forward to the opportunity for us to finally speak in a manner which looks to the future of our Nations and Peoples.
In friendship;

Re: An Invitation To The Empire Of Ikhan
It is in the darkest of times that we often find that cooperation with our neighbours provides greater safety and options than the path of silence and isolation. Amongst my sincerest of hopes is that we, together, may find that our nations and peoples share a common path, one which we may traverse together in our mutual interests. We, too, hope to see this would-be assassin face the consequences for this despicable act.
To minimize your travel I've elected to receive you at Haru Palace in Dunwich, Estvua Prefecture. I will be arriving the night prior and have already put the staff present to ensure that all preparations are made prior to your arrival. I understand and have no issue with you bringing your own security detail, however, it will be necessary for any weapons to be left at the door. In kind, my security shall not bear any arms within the Palace in kind. As Haru is a personal holding of my family, I can assure you it is one of the most secure and safe locations anywhere in Mundus.

Haru Palace, Dunwich, Estvua Prefecture
Evanthe had taken the opportunity to enjoy a night at Haru Palace alone. One of the smaller holdings of the Anselmo-Rhodes family, its charm had long held her heart and it had become one of her favourite places to spend time in the whole of Rokkenjima. Receiving the Crown Prince and Prince-Regent closer to the border was preferable, especially with what was undoubtedly a situation which could change at a moment's notice in his homelands. Ensuring that he could quickly return if need be should something unexpected arise was a convenience she didn't mind granting in the least.
Directions had been included with the last message she sent, as well as updating any Rokkenjiman police along the way that they should expect to see a diplomatic vehicle crossing the border. At the border, they would receive an escort provided by the Estvua Prefectural Police, after which she would be on hand to greet them as they arrived at the Palace.
