A Letter

A.N.: I know this is like really short but hopefully you'll like the next chapters. It will be hard for me to update this and the Hellsing fanfic I've been working on since I've got important things coming up, such as an MUN in Dubai and tests, lots and lots of them

To the Duchess of Milan, Cardinal Sforza,
I would like to ask you for a personal favor. An aristocrat, under my protection was born in the Albion you see. And I can only help her fulfill her wish of visiting her home once again, in order to pay her respects to the new queen. To pay this favor back, the Duchess in concern has agreed to help the AX, in all the matters concerning the Rozenkreuz Order. She will prove to be helpful, when her age and abilities of different kinds, especially when dealing with lost technologies and combat are taken into observation. I would like your agent Abel Nightroad to accompany her during these travels, since he has proven his strength, ability to handle unexpected situations both in Cartago and in the Byzantium. I was told that the new queen of Albion considers him a friend. I, given your consent of course, would like to have father Nightroad as company for a day or two. Hopefully you will grant my friend -no me- this wish. I will personally arrange everything for the envoy. I expect him in a few weeks. You can ask me for any further detail.
All my best regards,
Empress Augusta Vradica of the New Human Empire.

P.S. When he arrives the duke of Memphis is required to stay in the Empire

Catherina had found the letter on her desk when she came to her office, early in the morning. It was weird since no one, not even Tres had noticed anyone trespassing. She called for Abel after reading the letter. The arrival of the letter was rather convenient, considering Abel and Ion had only arrived late at night She would have to let him leave for a while, in order to gain a strong ally. Someone knocked on her door.
"Come in."
"Good morning Catherina. Why is it that you summoned me?" he asked.
"Abel please have a seat," she started talking again when Abel was finally seated.

"Abel, I got a letter from the Empress this morning, asking you to leave for the Byzantium in order to meet a friend of hers there and escort her to Albion, after her visit to the Albion she will work with us for a while, and then you will escort her back to the Empire. I trust Ion won't leave your side until you reach the Byzantium. Further detail is to be revealed."
"Why me? It was so comfortable here."
"Because you have a close relationship with Queen Esther. And she'll be willing to see this envoy if she knows you're with her. And the Empress has requested for you to accompany her." Seth!, Abel thought to himself. Why exactly had she wanted him?
"I will pack then."
"Good. I'll let you know when everything is set.", she took out a pen and a piece of paper and started writing.

To Augusta Vradica, the Empress of the New Human Empire,
Having considered your request, I have come to decision. Abel Nightroad will be sent to the Byzantium, in order to escort the duchess in question to the Vatican first and then to the Albion. I hope to hear from you again concerning this matter.
All my best regards, Cardinal Catherina Sforza, the Duchess of Milan
