TYP had opened himself a bottle of water from the fridge in the arm of the Limo as he listened to the President speak while offering one. "That sounds like a few dandy proposals you got there your majesty. Well I'd be delighted to cover all these topics with you once we reach our destination." The limo finally arrived at the Apostolic Palace through a grand side entrance. "Good Afternoon Your holiness" The Prefect/Head of the Papal household opened the door to the limo, "Your Majesty" he nodded to their guest, "If I may lead the way your excellencies..." he gestured as he moved towards the Apostolic Palace's door. There were a number of photographers gathered by the door, carefully selected for the job of recording the meeting. Pope Peter II was well-aware about such frivolities as he was the one who chose while walking past them amongst the intense snapping of clicks.
"Construction of the palace itself started in 1589 during the tenure of Pope Sixtus V. The palace is a complex of buildings, with the Papal Apartment, the Catholic Church's government offices, a handful of chapels, the Vatican Museum and the Vatican library. In all there are over 1,000 rooms with the most famous including the Sistine Chapel and its renowned ceiling frescoes painted by Michelangelo, restored between 1980-1990 and Raphael's Rooms. Quite an iconic place to live in I must say...with all due to respect to the fine Royal Palace back in Irishar." the Pope said with an affirmative and proud tone, as together with the Prefect of the Papal Household, led the way to the Private library where one if the household nuns ensured a tray of beverages and snacks was ready on a table with comfortable chairs sat either side with their respective nations flags on them. The Holy Father gestured his guest to sit while the Prefect poured drinks.
Now that we're hopefully feeling comfortable and hoped you enjoyed the first bits of information about the Vatican, let's start off with what I have in mind for our treaty...diplomacy". The Pope gave a copy of the proposal as he let the King read through the entirety of it.
