On behalf of his Grace the Grand Duke of Bakkermaya Hugo Lascelles I have been asked to reply to your message. I am privledged and honoured that Hugo has selected Elmwood as the venue for this important and historic talks. I therefore take great delight in formally inviting you and your party to the city of Fairfield where you will be able to meet with the Grand Duke and hopefully establish a solid foundation between our nations. The Palace of Wood is at your disposal and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
May The Gods Watch Over You and Your Nation Know Peace
Duke Aiden Wilkinson
Duke of Elmwood
Aiden was not the most comfortable of the six Duchy leaders, he was more of a practical man and the ins and outs of government were not a favoured past-time of the
Duke of Elmwood. He often spent a lot of his time pottering around at the very airfield where they now found themselves looking after aircraft in the small museum the airport held. He'd learnt quiet a few tricks of how to repair engines, fabricate parts long lost to the ravages of time and his hands were rough from the manual labour. "Hugo" he shook the Grand Dukes hand warmly as the nations leader arrived accompanied by a guard of six Horseman of Jekar, each wrapped in a blue cloak against the chill of the early morning.
"Aiden" the Duke greeted his friend. "I knew I should have gone to Wellow or somewhere, much warmer on the islands." Hugo teased.
"Yeah, but their softer" Aiden retorted, it was an age old joke in Bakkermaya that while the islands had been blessed with glorious weather the mainland had breed more hardy individuals, ironically it was something supported by the fact that the majority of the Horseman of Jekar originated from the mainland but that was probably more the fact it was the more populated part of the nation. "Beside give it an hour and once the suns up properly it'll chase this chill away." Aiden knew he was right, it was this kind of practical knowledge he enjoyed.
The fient buzz of the approaching aircraft reached Aiden's ears, an age old skill he'd been graced with after serving in the Air Force as a fighter controller, the sound of incoming aircraft had been a key part of his job and on still days he could usually tell you what most aircraft where before he even saw them. "I thought we'd go straight to the Palace if that's ok with you?" Hugo asked, he may be the nations leader but Elmwood was Aiden's home and so he would play host. It was the only fair thing to do share round visits and so far Elmwood had been neglected.
"Fine with me." he responded as the aircraft touched down and soon came to a halt. After the various expected fanfares and what have you Aiden walked forward, "Duke Aiden of Elmwood, welcome to Fairfield." he extended his hand to the guest.
