Greywall Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 A messenger arrived at the Kremlin draped in a black wool uniform covering him head to toe showing the snow and ice still pelted to him. It was obvious how it bothered him he was no native to these lands. He had brought a letter for the Russian government stamped with the black eagle of Spain. "Our empires have survived much and have stood tall despite such resolve to break them, we would like to send a formal representative of the empire of Spain to the tsardom of Russia to discuss possible relations. Signed. Carlos Mendoza" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurius Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) The messenger would be redirected to Petrograd and offered a heated place to stay so that he might recover from his travel. The following day he was given a formal response from the Minister of Foreign Affairs that the Tsardom formally invited a Spanish representative to talk to the Tsarina in person at the Winter Palace.

Greywall Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Given his new task the messenger left rather quickly after leaving a note thanking the Russian staff for giving him a place away from the cold. In a few days Carlos Mendoza arrived at the winter palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
