A Nice Ring To It “Good afternoon, Ma’am.” “Good afternoon. Is there anything urgent in my inbox?” Relena had enjoyed a quiet lunch with her mother, conscious of the deadlines she was required to observe and had discussed with Lady Alice, Milliardo’s suggestion concerning her future. Brother and sister had had occasion to speak of the position in enough detail to lead Relena to the belief she might enjoy the post. Certain people in the ESUN council would not be pleased, but that did not particularly worry her. She had upset more than a few Ministers by pushing for Milliardo to become King and she had not suffered politically for his claiming the Crown. She was tired of travelling for months on end and at the moment she was waiting for Pagan to forward to her a proposed itinerary for the first twenty four months should she agree to the position. Peace Ambassador of Sanc. It had a nice ring to it. ‘Perhaps the most urgent thing requiring your attention, Ma’am, is the President of the ESUN has requested a telephone conference with you. The matter was urgent.” She had requested time to consider the offered position but she knew certain people on the council were not happy with her continued delays. But no, there were more important matters for the ESUN Council to do than harp at her over a promotion. It would be a matter of much more importance. “I’ll just go and make myself comfortable while I wait. Any chance of a cup of tea?” “I will see to it immediately, Miss Relena.” What if it was the job offer? They had given her a date for her answer to be received… no, actually they had given her a date for her to accept her new position. There was a difference. The presumption was that she would not refuse and it had not occurred to her before her brother had offered her an alternative. The position of Peace Ambassador of Sanc was largely exactly what she had been doing as Vice Foreign Minister, except she did not need to jump to the call of the ESUN Council. Her travel itinerary could be arranged in a much more ordered fashion, grouping conferences and appearances and giving herself time to pursue personal matters, including having a family. Her secretary brought her tea and announced the call was being put through before withdrawing and Relena settled back, sipping her tea as she waited. Her secretary would announce her to the President’s secretary who would then announce to the President that the Vice Foreign Minister was calling him and the call would be accepted and they could finally be free of protocol. “The President of the ESUN Council, line 2, Miss Relena.” “Good afternoon, Mr. President. What might I do for you?” “You can make up your mind about this position, young lady. I can’t wait any longer while you prevaricate. Do you, or do you not, accept the post as Foreign Minister?” ~ * ~ |
