Baolian Hall, Yongan Palace, 10/08/2021 North Electrica United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor

“Movements of all soldiers of North Electrican origin recorded to be stationed around the city and near the imperial city. The Taijing Guards-hall shall implement standard precautionary procedures.” Her head chambermaid had whispered to the Empress in Court Fengese, a fengese dialect of the palace almost incomprehensible to most outside ears. The Empress nodded, whispering something back.

[i]“Most sublime, do be sure to prepare for anything. North Electrica may be an ally, but precaution is always good after all….”
The Empress smiled as the servant left, switching back to english. She spoke with a faint lilting accent, making her sound almost absent-mindedly amused.

“My most auspicious greetings to the high graces of Miotia-Candor and North Electrica, indeed it is a great honour to play host to guests of such lofts of virtue….”

The teahouse was peacefully silent, despite the crowd of luxuriously clothed courtiers standing around them in audience. Servants wandered to and fro, while several were stationed near their table with fans. They seemed there only for ornamentation though, this hall seemed to have its own air conditioning system but it was so well hidden among the opulent architecture that it was hard to believe it existed here.
A Phoenix had wandered in from the gardens, chirping a warbling song. The Empress cleared her throat softly. Her face was an enigmatic mask of oblivious daydreaming as she fiddled with her fan.

“Today, we gather to discuss the deep intricacies of economies, alliances, trade… and our most interesting situation with the Jezabel nation. Firstly, on would like to stress that our imperium, all our holdings and estates in the Fengese motherland and Huazheng, would be committed to support our cause with our great wealth in coin and recourse….”

The Ports of Taijing The Atlas Archipelago

“Oh~? Coming with the big boats eh?”
Princess Rongchang giggled as she watched the ships dock. Her voice rang with a seductive allure, velvety soft upon the ears. “I wonder why they’re trying to impress… for us to fear them, or for us to admire them~?”

She was surrounded by an entourage of courtiers, all luxuriously clothes in robes that trailed several feet upon the ground. Taijing’s docks were unlike the busy trading ports of Donghai, these were filled with opulent pleasure barges and cruises instead of the enormous cargo ships. Behind the Princess was a carriage coated in gold and jewels….

The Atlan ships docked, out of place among the beautifully crafted boats. Princess Rongchang came forward to greet them as the delegation descended, her eyes glimmering in soft amusement.
“Greetings to the delegation of Atlas…. My, you’ve come quite a long way to see us~ was it hard?”
