What can I say Gideon? I've heard about your little ordeal with our 'beloved' price, not a pretty sight. I'm afraid when that bastard gets his mind set on something you'll find him to be rather irrational. He can of course be convinced and cajoled like any man, you just need the resources and the know-how.
Luckily for you I happen to be in a position where I could help you out but first, you have to do something for me. Those crocodile tears might work on others, but I expect to get something out of this.
[font=Times New Roman]I have recently developed an interest in acquiring a particular property on Planet New Paris. Specifically, a beautiful estate on the island of Luxembourg has found it's way onto the market after the 'tragic' disappearance of it's owner, nobility like yourself so I hear. You're undoubtedly a wealthy man Gideon and it's a small price to pay when you have everything to lose.
Think about it and get back to me. Although I advise you make the decision before your assets are seized by DeFrance. That would be most unfortunate for us both.
[font=Times New Roman]The asking price is no small fee, but I'm sure it's within your budget. The competition for the property is steep so I can't give you a hard figure. I'll transfer the documents you need with this message and while you sort everything out, I have a prince to speak to.
