Arrivée de l'ambassadeur de Devon

Having received the kind invitation of His Excellency Diboan Dagincourt Eumelia was eager to travel to the nice County of Lyonnaise-Dauphiné. The journey was indeed pleasant, and following the guidelines His Excellency had given to her, Eumelia found the domain of Mercurol soon. She was impressed by the langness of the estate, as well as the marvellous architecture of the castle. However, she didn't want to be lost in her admiration totally, as she had an important task...

She looked around in the large reception hall a bit helplessly. She was hoping that her reasonably poor skills in French language would not cause any problem in communication - but after all she was an opimistic person. She took out her credentials from her bag and she was waiting patiently for someone showing up.

Ayant reçu l'aimable invitation de Son Excellence Diboan Dagincourt Eumelia était impatient de se rendre à la belle comté de Lyonnaise-Dauphiné. Le voyage était vraiment agréable, et en suivant les directives de Son Excellence lui avait donné, Eumelia trouve le domaine de Mercurol bientôt. Elle a été impressionnée par le Langness de l'immobilier, ainsi que la merveilleuse architecture du château. Cependant, elle ne voulait pas se perdre dans son admiration totalement, comme elle avait une tâche importante ...

Elle regarda autour dans la grande salle de réception un peu impuissants. Elle espérait que ses compétences raisonnablement pauvres en langue française ne pourraient causer de problème de communication - mais après tout, elle était une personne opimistic. Elle a sorti ses lettres de créance de son sac et elle attendait patiemment pour quelqu'un montrant.

A servant came to the Chancellor's office to tell that a diplomat was arrived to Mercurol. Obviously he didn't ask her who she was before coming to the Chancellor ...

She was probably the english ambassador who tried to contact him sooner.

Diboan decided to go himself to the hospitality pavilion to meet the excellency.

Excellency, I suppose that you are Lady Eumelia Vukotic of Petherton Park ?

That was quite a bit risky to suppose like that but the chancellor always had been this kind of player ...

Welcome to Mercurol, I am Diboan Dagincourt, Chancellor of Lyonnnais-Dauphiné, I am very pleased to meet you Excellency

Un domestinque arriva au bureau du chancelier pour lui signaler l'arrivée d'un diplomate à Mercurol. Evidemment ce dernier n'avait pas pensé à lui demander qui elle était avant de venir prévenir le Chancelier.

C'était probablement l'ambassadrice anglaise qui l'avait contacté un peu plus tôt. Aussi, Diboan décida d'aller l'accueillir.

Votre Excellence, je suppose que vous êtes Lady Eumelia Vukotic of Petherton Park ?

Un peu risqué comma approche, mais le chancelier avait toujours été un peu joueur sur les bords.

Bienvenue à Mercurol, je suis Diboan Dagincourt, Chancelier du Lyonnais-Dauphiné et ravi de vous rencontrer.

While waiting, Eumelia had the chance to admire the beautiful wall paintings of the reception hall. "Wonderful job!" - she thought to herself.
Suddenly a handsome lord approached and greeted her. Hearing his introduction Eumelia curtsied deeply to the Chancellor of Lyonnnais-Dauphiné.

- Your Excellency, the pleasure is mine to meet you in person. Yes, I am Eumelia Vukotic, the newly appointed Devon Ambassador. It was a real honour to accept your invitation to this beautiful castle.
Please allow me to hand over my credentials.

Finishing her words she stretched  her hand with the vellum in it.

En attendant, Eumelia eu la chance d'admirer les belles peintures murales de la salle de réception. "Excellent boulot!" - Pensait-elle.
Soudain, un beau seigneur approché et l'a saluée. Entendre son introduction Eumelia révérence profondément au Chancelier de Lyonnnais-Dauphiné.

- Votre Excellence, le plaisir est pour moi de vous rencontrer en personne. Oui, je suis Eumelia Vukotic, l'ambassadeur nouvellement nommé Devon. Ce fut un réel honneur d'accepter votre invitation à ce beau château.
S'il vous plaît permettez-moi de remettre mes lettres de créance.

Finition ses mots, elle étendit sa main avec le vélin en elle.

Patan a écrit:

Eumelia smiled back to the Chancellor, slightly bowing towards him.

- Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency, I am eager to follow you. Please show me the way.
