Monsieur Klugmann,

Your message has been forwarded to me and I've decided to answer it personally.

It is a troubling situation for many, including myself. If I was told years ago I would join forces with people that have been described to me as terrorists and savages since I was born, I would have laughed. The reality of the situation is much different, and it's exactly where I stand now. I have to fight against old acquaintances, some whom were close to me, in the name of freedom.

I believe you know quite well what I'm talking about. The Bundschuh have been at it before you and I were born.
Despite our radically different origins, education, experiences even, we share the same goals and are both outcasts of our own houses.

My father, King Charles has commited many crimes in the name of a vengeance that has long lost its purpose and is leading our people into an inevitable demise. These very crimes and prospects have led me to these unlikely alliances with former enemies. It is, again, something I believe your movement is familiar with.

I am not opposed to meeting you, as a matter of fact the reports of collaboration between the Royalists and Rheinland's Authorities are quite concerning. It would be worth a discussion, among other topics.

Monsieur Klugmann,

Commander Ellington has evaluated your request and approved it. A VWA delegation, up to five members, will be welcomed aboard the Normandie currently stationed at Norfolk Shipyard.

I'm personally looking forward to it.
