Chapter 14 - The Invitation

The following week, Lord Dominion wrote a letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, formally requesting his participation in the committee. The letter explained the purpose of the committee and outlined the proposed structure and goals. It was a respectful and respectful request, acknowledging the Archbishop's importance and wisdom.

After several days, the messenger returned with a letter from the Archbishop. He accepted the invitation to join the committee, and expressed his eagerness to work towards peace in Scotland. Lord Dominion breathed a sigh of relief.

The Archbishop looked up from his papers as the butler entered his study, a letter in hand. "Your Grace," the butler began, "a letter has just arrived for you, delivered by messenger. It is from the Marquess of Dominion."

The Archbishop nodded and took the letter, breaking the seal and unfolding the paper. As he read the letter, his expression grew more and more serious. When he reached the end, he let out a long breath. "It seems that the Marquess is quite serious about his plan for peace in Scotland," he said, looking up at the butler. "I must give this some thought. Please make sure that the messenger is properly cared for while he waits. I may need to send a response by return messenger."

"Of course, Your Grace," the butler said, bowing slightly before leaving the room. The Archbishop turned back to the letter, rereading it with a sense of gravity. It was clear that this plan would require careful consideration, and he was not sure what the best course of action would be. But he was determined to do his duty, and to do what was best for his country.
