A simple flexion of the wrist from the King has servants scurrying in ten different directions. Two men pull in a large oak table that they set in the center of the room, between the King and the assembling diplomats, while another unfolds a large map of Europe, North Africa, the Baltic and the Middle East. On it are represented the various nations and the lands that they currently claim.
A young woman clothed in a loose fitting dress poses a smaller map next to it. And remains by the tableside.
Philippe gestures towards the second map.
Welcome to Paris, Sieur Garcia de Hierro. You are indeed right, We have called this Council of Nations to discuss of exactly such matters and it is high time we started.
We plan to push the borders of the royal demesne from the English Channel to the Mediterranean. These lands are already under Our de jure jurisdiction and with the help of God, the rebellious nobles who oppose Our will shall be dealt with in a fair and swift fashion. We require the assistance of no outside sovereign in this enterprise and wish your Majesties the best of fortune in establishing your authority on your respective lands.
The young woman smiles mischeviously as Philippe speaks. When he is done, she turns invitingly towards the assembled emissaries and gives them a radiant smile.
