Presidential Palace Nakim
Kadassa had called an emergency meeting of the Presidential Advisory Group, they had spent the past three hours discussing the best way to handle the spiralling situation. Despite a number of hawkish voices the conclusion had been reached that at the current time de-escalation was still the most desirable outcome, it had then been decided by Kadassa that Lakhzovia need to make a final diplomatic push to prevent direct foreign intervention, the time bought would allow them to further push the narrative of Lakhzovia facing down a concerted international terrorist threat.
He ordered his aide to get him a phone link to the Rokkenjiman Empress, he picked up the receiver preparing himself in anticipation for a difficult conversation.
Meanwhile Cikniye would be attempting to make contact with Lakhzovia's northern neighbours and try to dissuade them from involving themselves in any imperialist adventures.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
To my Esteemed counterpart in Arstotzka
We are concerned to learn of your nation's apparent support for the Utman terrorist organisation which is currently seizing territory in our northern provinces. We are additionally concerned at your apparent embrace of Rokkenjiman imperialism which has made evident its intentions towards Cotf Aranye by surrounding our continent wherever possible with its troops.
Lakhzovia believes that only when united against the designs of the imperialists can our continent reach the fullest extent of its potential and we had long considered your nation to be one committed to such a path.
We fear that perhaps the current situation emerges from a misreading of the facts on the ground, for we would never allow ourselves to believe that the great Arstotzkan people would allow themselves to be led astray by the false promises of imperialism nor that they would seek to create a terror state on their border which would destablise the entire region.
I am convinced that our nations share a common destiny in peace and would request an opportunity for a formal meeting.
Sincerely
Tesan Cikniye
Minister of Foreign Affairs

Although she recognized the importance of her visit to Lakhzovia Beatrice couldn't help losing herself in a few selfish moments. The flight provided opportunities to catch up with a call to Adriana and Lucius, catching up with friends at home, as well as an opportunity to make arrangements for the Austrana to be on hand once her duties in Lakhzovia had concluded. There still remained several tasks to be attended to before her name was rightfully cleared, however, patience was something she had come to accept throughout the recent challenges visited upon the Anselmo Family.
Following her escort through the door she nodded approvingly of the prepared refreshments. "Respected President, how I've missed you," she said as she approached, taking in a glimpse of the city beyond Kadassa. "Truly a beautiful city, why, this view reminds me of what one can see from Pyrena. Pyrettania sits just beneath the hill, the hum of the city ringing in one's ears almost as if it were the very pulse of the nation. This is why we must succeed Sachim," she paused, "so once you're ready we should get to work. I truly am happy to see you again, even under such circumstances."
