my name is Dona Enma of the Loyola family of the Outcasts. I am a citizen of the Crown since Février the 2nd, 741 AGS. Now, I never was at the military or any other service of any kind and did not actually live in Gallia, so it all came down to formality. I am currently hosting and protecting two members of the Royal family, your cousins Charlotte and Claire. I hope you were happy to hear from Claire, she is really inspired by your energy and determination. Don't worry, Malta has it's own nobility traditions and we know how to treat noble persons appropriately. Of course, hosting two royal persons at one time is getting a little bit expensive, but it could not be done otherwise.

Looking at the new Confederacy and forces that moved to Taus after the temporary retreat of the Royal Navy, I am becoming more and more sympathetic to your cause. It backfires me at home because as you understand, after the minor incidents that the Royal Navy had in Leeds, DeFrance's name and ties to it are not exactly causing enthusiasm. I heard about your claim to the throne, but I will give it time before recognizing it, as a humble citizen of course. There still may be a hope that His Majesty is alive and doing well. Though, as a crown prince, I think you have enough authority to have my attention.

I think that Outcasts' operational lines around Gallia can prove to be useful for the Royal cause in the near future. There can be a lot of things I can support you with. The question comes down to if the Crown could properly reward one particular Outcast loyalist who helped to restore the Kingdom? That's a far perspective, but a good answer could surely spark my motivations.

I am not the one to attempt to do things, but the one to get them done. It doesn't matter how much you value the girls, oh though they honestly deserve nothing bad happen to them. You see, all those smugglers around Sirius are making tremendous sums of money, and that money flows into the limited number of accounts, and my account is one of them. It is true that you can't get enough of them, but this is not what I am after.

But you are right, I am not an altruist in any way. But I do not expect the "payment" as you put it. I know that it would be natural for pirates to demand exactly this, and your expectations based on your without a doubt rich experience are fully justified. But there's more to it, maybe some ideological, or even aesthetic preferences.

I personally have seen the role of the Royal Navy in Sirius as positive. You see, my people are being called an "Outcasts" for a reason and as you may guess the reason for that is the majority of Sirius population hating and wanting to exterminate us. We had some deals with certain Houses, but I cannot trust them. They will turn against us as soon as they see fit. In my opinion, wiping the Sirius House system and replacing it with something else is a good thing. And I thought that Cardamine would prove to be a good tool to control the population. Among other things.

As for your push in the right direction and speaking of Confederacy, the Outcasts won't stand a chance in an open field fight. We could theoretically assist with raids on the enemy supply lines, smuggling equipment needed or even provide intel. In other words, I could provide some auxiliary, but there's no way we can launch major operations as the Royal Navy does. Don't get me wrong, we can beat up something worthless like CR, but Confederacy forces are on a different category.

And don't worry about the girls, they do have a rather specific temperament and sometimes forgetting that they are guests, but we are getting along... In some ways.

I am glad to hear it. There are other matters to discuss, so I will dare to take a little more of your time. I am have had one project in mind few years back, but I did lack royal approval. Since we have more than one Duchesse at Malta now, I think that at least one of them could stay here eventually. I like my honored guests and since they don't matter as much for DeFrance's main branch, you could possibly accept those lovely girls staying with me. Oh, and don't get me wrong, I won't leave Duchesse without a Duchy. And for convenience, we could make one right here, does Duchy of Malta with either Charlotte or Claire as duchesse sound interesting?

It may backfire at some point but it looks like Outcasts who are opposing me are doing if because of some pure instinct and are not reasonable. I may, in the end not value their opinion as much. It's not like I ever did. I think such interesting things to discuss worth a meeting, what do you say? I sadly cannot imagine having this kind of affairs even being considered without personal contact.

May I pick a place and time as a lady? It will have to be something boring and neutral, so neither of us should expect fashionable and luxury banquette. Also, let's agree that we will assure only minimal security on both sides. I know you can organize some Valor parade, but I'd enjoy some degree of privacy and coziness. Hope to hear from you soon, your highness.

Freeport 6, Tau-29 on February the 10th. I will rent section five and make sure that it's properly sealed during the time of the meeting. Mind if I take Claire with me? I am afraid she won't be able to leave with you as I pointed out before, but it would be nice if you will be able to see each other. She may as well contribute to the overall discussion.

sure, but it's a pity because I expected to have you a little more courage. I will make sure they also place a bulletproof glass between us. Comms are off as I will be away for our meeting, see you there, your highness.
