Invitation to Grand Duke Max

[vinlander]

To His Grace the Grand Duke Maximillian,



I write to thank you as profoundly as I can for the kindness you showed me and my guests at the Paris Derby last month. Truly, France is a greater nation because of men like you.



May I be so bold as to invite you to attend the opening of my new opera "David and Goliath" this month? I understand that His Majesty may have need of your services, but in the event you are at liberty, I would be glad of your company again.



With greatest respect,



Auguste Balls,

Playwright





OOC: AUB invites the Grand Duke to attend the opera this month as his guest. And I posted this under another thread, sorry.

Dear Monsieur Balls,

Thank you very much for your kind invitation. I'm afraid I shall not be able to attend as I shall be attending the Frontier with His Majesty. I do look forward to your future theatrical endeavors.

Yours faithfully,

Grand Duke Maximillian

OOC: I gave him a 50% chance of being at the Frontier and I'm afraid you were unlucky. It seemed fair to let you know it was impossible before you spent influence!

If you want to try another grandee, all the Royal Family apart from the King and Archduke Leopold are in Paris next month. If you ask the latter I'll give +1 because of it being his theater company!
