[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 6243771, member: 8530"] He replies, "An interesting question, and the answer is somewhat dependent upon what role you wish for Princess Amisi to play in the negotiations. She is fluent in the languages of Arabic, Italian and Ancient Egyptian, with her grasp of the English language far less so. If the discussions are in English she will probably be able to follow some of the conversation, and if we move the Arabic scribe's chair closer to her she could follow along, but she would not really be able to contribute. For the discussions with the British that would probably be wise. However, she has known General Orabi for years as a family friend, as he has her as well. If called upon she might be able to assist in the discussions if they are in Arabic. Queen Neferka has also thrown a major wild card into this mix for the Orabi discussion, by formally naming Amisi as her heir. A formal declaration was actually not needed, as Amisi was next in the line of succession up until Queen Neferka has a child. General Orabi would assume that his child through Neferka would automatically become the next monarch, but that is no longer the case, as Amisi will remain the heir until Neferka declares otherwise. He also does not know of this declaration yet, although the Queen has made it official through a proclamation that will become public knowledge later today." [/QUOTE]
