Baronserg, Varenthia
The Citadel
The so-called metaphorical pebble had eventually made its way to the upper echelons of the High Chancellery of Varenthia. While such a message, even one intended for the High Chancellor himself, would have typically already been discussed in private by the High Council before being brought to the High Chancellor's attention; there was a sense of urgency or was it unease? That caused the Vice Chancellor of Foreign Affairs to go directly to the High Chancellor himself.
Vice Chancellor Janos Lavete was the man responsible for slowly pushing Varenthia from its position of general isolation from the past few decades, as one of the newest members of the High Council, his views were often seen as 'radical', however High Chancellor Alexander Stark was always open to his thoughts. Lavete knew he would receive flack from the other Chancellors for going around them, but even one small chance to increase Varenthia's international outreach would be welcomed.
"Janos, I've always respected your ideals and your ambition, however this seems to be a stretch at most. The other families and most political factions will not go for this, the Katenbourghs maybe, but for us to join such a proposal would be a drain on resources suited elsewhere," began High Chancellor Stark, looking out the window from his office.
"Sir, I'm not saying even to join, all I wish is to attend the talks and see what comes of it. Opening up markets will allow Varenthian goods and services a much wider range of exports....I also believe I could push for the creation of a sort of research grant program. Imagine all the potential investment from that for all our projects."
Stark turned around looking right at Janos, his face while being as stoic as ever those who knew him personally could see his contemplation and his interest at such an idea.
"You have my permission to attend, reply to the West Brigidnans but be sure to request research cooperation and grants to be included in the agenda."
