A Private Communication With King Heydar
Your Majesty,
If I may be frank with you for a moment, Akasha is a proud woman. I've brought this up with her in the past that, perhaps, her strong headed approach to certain situations may prove to be to her detriment. You can likely imagine my anxiety when I get a new notification that she's Tweeted, yet she persists. I know that you've given her opportunity after opportunity in a gracious fashion, I only wish her pride wouldn't prevent her from taking those opportunities.
With the Republic declaring sanctions upon Clysperis in the form of denying entrance to her ports to ships flying the flag of the Kingdom, as well as ceasing the trade of goods between the two nations, I would propose something which is short of the OPEN approach she wishes to take, but one which shows solidarity between the Kingdom and the Emirate: ships flying the flag of Kopsje will likewise be denied access to our ports jointly, and the Kingdom and the Emirate shall cease trade with the Republic. I'll impress upon Akasha to take advantage of the next opportunity, to swallow her pride, and try engaging with you upon the next opportunity afforded. Should the Republic escalate further we may then explore further options.
We both know that pride is a terrible beast, amplified even greater when held in the heart of a woman. I'll do that which I can with Akasha in the mean time and, hopefully, we'll soon see these matters placed behind us. Should the Republic escalate things further, we may discuss measures beyond those I've proposed as considered appropriate by us both.
