Actually, the journey between Bruges and Den Haag was shorter than Sly thought. He arrives beside the principal door of the castle and introduces himself :

Goedendag. I'm His Highness Sly Staline, Count of Flanders. A neighbour in fact. Louvrens invites me to discuss about some subjects, so here I am!

Anthonis heard a close neighbour was visiting to the grand castel of The Hague. He was working in the chancelory this day, so he was close by when he a servant came to tell him. He hurried to the gates to meet with the duke of Flanders. Upon meeting he bowed deep

Most welcome dear Count and Highborn Sly Staline, Count of Flanders. We are most grateful that our dear neighbours are visiting Holland. I am Anthonis Philippe Nicolas de Ligne Boriga, the chancelor of Holland. Please join me in the chambers for the Kindom of France. Our ambassador and vice-chancellor Excellence Louwren Phoenix wil join us shortly

Et la voilà aussi.

La nouvelle future ambassadrice de Hollande pour la Flandre s’était rendu aux portes du château pour accueillir le comte au plus vite quand elle avait appris de sa présence. Elle s’était vêtue comme les convenances le recommandaient d’une représentante diplomatique ; sobre mais gracieuse, portant comme seule parure un croix en argent autour de sa nuque.
Une fois arrivé sur place elle saluait le comte, le chancelier et le vice-chancelier avec une révérence.
- Votre grandeur, bienvenu à La Haye. Vos excellences. Je suis Elicie, ambassadrice.

And there she was as well.

The new future ambassadress of Holland for Flandres had gone to the gates of the castles to welcome the count as soon as possible when she heard of his presence. She was dressed as the situation demanded for a diplomatic representative ; sober but gracious, wearing only a silver cross around her neck as jewelry.
Once arrived, she saluted the count, the chancellor and the vice-chancellor with a curtesy.
- Your grace, welcome in The Hague. Your excellencies. I am Elicie, ambassadress.

Nice to meet you Sir Antonis and Sir Louwrens, OK I follow you.

Hi Lady Elicie, your French is almost perfect. Congratulations for that. So let's talk all together in the appropriate chamber.
I've brought a barrel of Moinette.

Anthonis smiled to all people but mostly at the count.

Do you want to meet in a private room or is the ambassador chamber enough for you?

Ho the ambassador chamber is far enough for me, I'm not such a complicated or snobbish Count you know!

He smiles to the assembly.
