Godfrey the Merchant he is comes to the castle of Cannenburg to seek Letters of Permission so that he can trade outside of the Empire's borders.
Duke Chris being down to earth shows the man to his work chambers offering him a new drink called beer.
Welcome Godfrey what is it you wish to discus ?
Godfrey accepts the beer before beginning,
I am here because I was told a man with the title of Count or higher could give me papers allowing me to trade outside of the Empire. Without these papers I would have few opportunities to make money.
Aha that should not be a problem as duke.
However there would be a fee for that.
I could even let you use my ports.
Godfrey is glad that the agreement is going so fast but knows the one thing blocking him could be his poor finances at the moment.
Yes, a fee... I am willing to pay a fee, but at the moment I am severely lacking in funds and have barely enough to get my business started. Should the fee be very high I would have to make some kind of payment plan so I could pay you back as I earned the money. Along with that I would be very much willing to add an additional lump sum onto that for the use of your port.
Your pay should be no problem. I shall open my ports to you for 5 years. and give you such a letter. We can arrange to be payed afterwards. however break your word and you shall never seel anything again.
Godfrey is surprised, this man is very trusting and willing to work with him.
Alright, now before I leave with this agreement in hand I would like to talk about my payment to you. For the use of your port for a period of Five years and these Letters of permission I think the price of 1,500 Dragons would be acceptable. This amount would be paid in either a lump sum during the period of Five years where I have use of your port, or paid in installments during the same period of time.
OOC: you mean 1500 florins ?
That is acceptable.
OOC: Sorry, meant to write florins, thought florins, wrote Dragons. GoT RPG does that to you... And yes, 1,500 florins it is.
Godfrey bows,
Then thank you very much.
After these words Godfrey leaves the castle.
OOC: haha I figured
Count Chris reaches his hand.
It is no problem my friend I have the most ports in the empire now lets use them.
Duke Rolf de Contentin arrived at Cannenburgh.
Duke Chris opens the door and shows the man to the working chambers.
He bows his head.
Hail, count Chris. I have come to discuss some diplomatic oppurtunities with you.
It's Duke now actually.
And that is possible.
OOC: crap, old habits.
I apoligise sincerely duke Chris, I am too used to dealing with my allies in Italy.
He laughs.
Perhaps we could be united as allies? The two great duchies of Germany, united in bonds of friendship. Does this appeal to you?
Ah that is not a problem at all.
Chris his slaves serve some beer.
Now Rolf, have you seen this Drink before ? it is called beer recently invented.
On the subject yes I can see that work the 2 most powerful duchies of Germany together shall bring unlimited power to our causes.
OOC: beer has been around for a while. since like 9500 BC
I will try some, indeed. They have similar drinks in Saxony, it would seem.
OOC:slaves?
Rolf smiles.
Ah yes, very good. It is settled then?
He sips.
OOC: I know and yes![]()
It is settled may our armies do great things.
He nodded.
I hope so indeed. Farewell.
