Beketaten nodded as Tosom and Anginer spoke, "That's the issue with politicians," she chuckled, "especially in the republics and democracies. They know loyalty only to themselves and their party, speaking as puppets upon strings in speech designed to assure their survival in the form of another term. Their partnerships cannot be trusted, as they are entered into under the premise that such engagements are most beneficial to their future prospects. I, on the other hand, was educated to rule; I watched as my father ruled these lands, bled for these people, and it is in those steps I follow."
"Even certain monarchs are disposed to such leanings, though they are but politicians in a different construct: their cherished and beloved 'international order.' Parading terms such as "human rights" and "self determination" while denying both to those who do not bow before them and welcome them as the saviors of the universe they portray themselves to be. Why, even recently, we saw how Seaforth saw fit to stick its nose into the internal affairs of my Kingdom, masquerading as some force of order and justice when the very land they built their kingdom upon was stolen."
"I understand that your Conglomerate has an interest in foreign investments and economic opportunity," she continued, "two things I feel you would find in abundance within the Kingdom. At the Elysium Economic Forum Prince Naser and I unveiled a vision for a new economic capital of Clysperis, a gem which shall have the Achkaerinese looking to the south with envy, and the Rokkenjimans looking likewise toward the north. I have also unveiled phase two of that project, an area of free trade which encompasses not only Setri, but Nafu. Even with the ample and generous assistance of the Tamorans it will not be enough to see its realization, which is part of the reason why we are here today."
"I require your economic prowess and vision and," she paused, "cash never hurts either. I am not one to beg, I naturally expect that something shall need to be offered in return, and once we establish a framework from which to work, I feel we shall all walk away most pleased with the work we've accomplished during your time here."
