Naboo, Theed Palace
1015 local time
"- we empathise with the difficulties you and your guild have faced, and will do what we can to impress upon the Governor the importance of reopening trade between the moons." Sandé replied calmly, bringing an end to a very long discussion over the status of trade between the moons of Naboo. Brought to her attention a few days after her coronation, by one of the trade guilds, it had the potential to rapidly escalate into a wider economic concern in her dominion. Sandé had agreed to grant the guild leader an audience quickly, heading the issue off at its root. The meeting was one of many she had planned today, and one of even more than had been sorted for her throughout the week.
For the first few months of her reign, she was practically enslaved to the rigmarole of meetings, audiences and 'royal tours', her list of obligations to the people of Naboo, the myriad 'historic traditions' she was expected to uphold, keeping her attention focused to the palace, and a select few royal residences dotted across the wider planet. She had yet to actually do the work she wanted to do, which was why the next item on her agenda was one she was actually looking forward to.
As the audience ended, and the various members of her advisory council and the trade guild representatives left, Sandé was once again sat on the throne, with only her handmaidens for company. "Rabé," the younger of the two handmaidens, who was, therefore, the closest to her own age leant forward "- what do we know of this Senator?" she enquired, keen to see if they could get some sort of 'upper-hand' for their first-ever meeting with someone from off-world. "Not much your Majesty, and from what I hear it is Tristodd Brentoich who is attended, nephew we believe of the Ambassador for the world. His family has been influential brokers of power there for generations, with another member of their family serving as the planets Senator."
Sandé kept her focus dead ahead as she processed the information "And they only recently joined the ISC, is that correct?". "It is, Your Majesty." Rabé responded, before stepping back and off to one side at Sandés request.
Standing from the Throne, Sandé was met with an immediate rush of activity as the Throne Room doors were opened by guards, and she proceed into the hall where she would meet their guests. Dominated on all sides by assorted statues of former Monarchs, the reception hall was an imposing place, built to receive guests even whilst surrounding them with the art and sculpture for which Naboo was famed. Taking her position in the hall, she waited to receive her first off-world dignitary.
