A few hours past by and all over Sinaia the people were starting to have their own diner. Perhaps the Treecuu had become hungry themselves, but soon they could hear a knock on their door. A Squad of Stoinian Congressional Guardsmen had come to escort them to their diner. They wore a different uniform than Royal Guards, a less royal look. As the Treecuu passed through the halls they saw the occasional painting which depicted Stoinian heroes from King Alexandru I to Strategos Anson MacArthur. As well as pictures of Stoinians massacring the ancient Mardakii. Some may have found it intimidating, but to the Stoinians it was a vivid memory.

The table was large and could hold up to 42 persons. The Stoinians had amassed their Ministers of Trade (Tudor Boc), Finance (William Arnolds), Industry (Werner von Zollern), Agriculture (Ecaterina Vladimirescu) and Foreign Relations (Pyotr Ivanovich Pushkov). The Minister of Foreign Relations was also accompanied by his military counterpart High Legate Josiah Morgan. They were all accompanied by a few of their deputies. Between the different Stoinians Ministers were places reserved for their Treecuu counterparts if they were present. Though the main Treecuu trio was concentrated around the King. The Queen however was absent as she had other duties to attend to in her place however was Crown Prince Carol next to his father. President Cuul sat on the opposite side of Crown Prince Carol. As soon as they had all taken their seats the King arose with a glass of wine and looked et President Cuul.

"President Cuul. I present to you my son, Crown Prince Carol, heir to the Stoinian Throne.I hope you don't mind to share a few thoughts with the future Stoinian monarch. Let us have this diner as the beginning of a friendship between our peoples."

He than gave Cuul a glass of wine and explained to him that they should toast and while doing so look each other in the eye, as was Stoinian custom. The President joined the King and presented their toast and soon the whole table had joined. Afterwards they started to eat the bread which was already served on the table. The Ministers started to whisper to their deputies, but nothing too loud that everyon could hear. Soon the Crown Prince asked the President with a smile.

"So President Cuul, how do the Treecuu people do these days? Perhaps you could share a few of your customs with us? I am sure you have picked quite a few of our customs by now. And we Stoinians are very fond of customs and traditions."

The Crown Prince was like his father, curious about their new friends and was more open to it than most Stoinians. Had there been a member of Lord Thorne's Party this question alone would have caused an upstir, but they weren't here and they wouldn't be if the Capital polls were right.
