William was the first to stand, his appearance one of the stereotypical Lawyer, he determined that court dress was the more acceptable form of dress for this occasion. Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce myself as William Frederick Volker Steiner, here representing Her majesties Government. Accompanying me would be Admiral John Redmond, of the Bretonian Armed Forces. I thank the right honourable gentleman, Mister Riley, for calling this conference for there is indeed much to discuss. He paused, taking a moment to review the Agenda for the night before he continued. It seems to me, that with the current situation within the borders of Gallia, there is an issue of the legality of the Gallic delegation. If I am to understand the situation clearly then those here from that house are, for all intents and purposes, the legal and cultural successors of that House. For simplicity's sake then, The House of Bretonia will identify those here as the lawful successors of the House of Gallia. So as to avoid any technical breach. However, clarity is needed in regards to the status of those forces that currently occupy Edinburgh, now officially identified as 'Aquitaine' by the University of Cambridge's cartographers. I would ask the right honourable members of the Gallic delegation to explain the situation to the rest of this conference. With that, he sat down, taking care to avoid coming across as smug or otherwise rude. Yet he couldn't help but feel that this was a hostile room, few allies had arrived the most notable absentee being Liberty. Yet He was also acutely aware that none here were under any obligation to accept any terms at all.
