I am Colonel Maximilian Saint-Just of the Gallic Royal Intelligence. After your public broadcast, I figured it would be wiser to contact you via this classified frequency. Forgive me this precaution; one can never be too careful, especially now.

Rest assured, the Enclave Defense Authority remains loyal to the Crown and the Kingdom. There is no doubt that many people in the Hebrides and the Core Worlds shall rejoice at the return of an heir to the throne. The absence of a DeFrance has created a void, and quite a few people have seen a chance to capitalize on it. The Enclave has been working against it, under the leadership of Marquise Renée Hennequin d'Avignon. She assumed command of the Enclave as per the letter of regency from your father, His Royal Majesty Charles XI.

And although we all would be eager to see a DeFrance to take his rightful place on the throne as soon as possible, I'm afraid the line of command and the protocol of succession must be followed. That is, once I receive word on the status of your father, as well as your coronation, I'll commit the entire Enclave Defense Authority at your beck and call. After all, keeping true to the centuries of tradition and ideals is one of the things that distinguishes us from the opportunists back in Burgundy.

However, until this period of interregnum is over, we'd be honored to welcome you at any facility or vessel of the Enclave Defense Authority, as planet Bordeaux currently lacks the housing and amenities appropriate for a person of your stature. And although the protocol prevents me from putting all our forces under your command just yet, I'll make sure to dedicate as much forces as I can spare. A part of Escadron XXII, perhaps.

If you should accept this offer, please let me know in a separate channel.
