Sparing a single glance to his data-slate, monitoring the ever increasing number of unread messages, made Seto take another step away from his desk. As if proximity alone would lessen the number of people requesting his comments on the new advertisements and articles of a particular once-Jedi Senator. He needed an escape and almost as if by design a message came to him in the form of a runner catching his breath at the door of his open office. Seto thanked the messenger and quickly read through the details before quickly gathering his suitcases.
Most Senators would simply have their staff cancel any meetings with the press if they felt inclined so, but that simply stopped the less persistent. Seto on the other hand chose to simply leave Coruscant and head over to the edges of Alliance space. With the purpose of meeting with a government that had actually sent their military to invade a Core territory and had fought on the side of the Sith Empire. Journalists and News Media can’t annoyingly ask for interviews from a corpse after all. Well, not yet at the moment. But at least Seto had a proper reason to have a media black out for the moment, a delicate diplomatic assignment.
The journey to the expansion and mid-rim regions was rather uneventful, though Seto found himself stuck in his own room going through more reports. The allure of finding sleep had been an illusion, escaping his grasp yet again. The young Du Couteau heir never intended for the Committee of Commerce and Fiance to dig so deeply into ex-CIS control space and it’s ever increasing bounty of potential credits. Even with such exciting prospects of revenue, the current tension with the Eternal Empire dampened and placed several projections on a tightrope, ever falling over to one side or another.
Seto approached the transport ship that would take the delegation and him to meet with the representatives of the Eternal Empire on board their vessel. Of course Seto encouraged only the minimal amount of security detail, not due to any sense of confidence in himself or some foolish fearlessness left over from his days of an Imperial, but it meant less people to worry about should things turn for the worse.
Though imagine the headlines, Fearless and Brace Diplomats of the Alliance. Seto silently mused.
Boarding the Eternal Empire’s ship the Crimson’s Empress was simple enough, and the Alliance delegation exited outside to greet the welcoming party. Seto had his usual impish smile, never one to sully his clothing with anything like a frown, he gestured forward with his hand towards his Senate Guards. It was time for them to meet with the delegation of the Eternal Empire and see what they truly wanted from the Alliance.
