[QUOTE="spotlite28, post: 2147962, member: 346749"] What do you want the tone of this summons to be? That will have a big impact on how you write it. If you want it to be inviting and make your main character excited for this trip to court then it needs to be more or a royal request. "Your presence is requested at Queen so-and-so's Court in this that twelfth day of the seventh month of the year...." Use fancy sounding words: Cordially is a really good one. If you want your character to be worried, use more demanding words and keep a formal tone. "You are required to be at the Queens Court..." If you don't want your character to know why then leave it at the request or demand for her to be there. If you do want her to know then you'll want to put in a simple mention of why. "The Queen formally requests you to attend her court on the tenth day of May to discuss your future contributions to the empire" or something. [/QUOTE]
