Across Thaumantic [Attn Eiffel, Lars]

[Imimoya]

"At present, the situation with the empire remains as perplexed. The free trade agreement was signed between our nations and that of Gunnland. Following the formation of the empire, our diplomatic offices never received a request to expand or ratify the agreements.

I wouldn't know if the Empire deliberately ignored us or simply its bureaucratic machine has a hard time starting.

For now, our line is that the Gunnland agreement is now obsolete and no longer wanted by the new imperial authorities." Greco replied to the Chancellor

"Aaalllso, alles klar," Chancellor Rheinfeld thought. He would not have taken the decision that the government of Lars had taken regarding the Gunnland agreement, but would have asked around instead.

However, he kept his face in shape. He didn't give a non-verbal signal that he was wondering about Greco's reply. Instead, he said: "Maybe indeed, given the silence from the Northern Tiburan Empire, it would be better not to wait for a reply from the Emperor. Let's cement the deal, and we will get to know the Empire's opinion on it later."
