15 British Delegation (1/2)

-- Early Autumn of 1454 --

--- Imperial Palace, Throne Room --

The Emperor is as usual sitting upright in his most ornate throne, surrounded by his favorite officials in the room.

The military bureaucrats can't stop talking about the British Envoy yesterday and the Imperial Foreign Ministry is packed with a hectic schedule ever since the British arrival.

Apparently, all the British envoy said yesterday was, they are going to send a diplomatic mission here.

'I wonder how would the exchange in Ostburg went, today must be the exchange in Ostburg. I hope Zachary is fine' the Emperor thought to himself

The Imperial Diplomatic Mission was headed by none other than the head of the Ostburg Family, Zachary. Ever since the beginning of the Empire's expansion in the continent, the Ostburg Family had grown from a minor noble house into the most powerful noble house in the Empire.

'The Ophiels had escaped and their head executed, but they instigated a major revolt in the empire'

'The Leońe's had revolted too'

'And the Ostburg's had became influential in the Empire's diplomatic affairs, i had given them various tasks and some influence so i can hope i can become their ally...'

The Emperor wanted to make the Ostburg's his ally, because the Emperor did not have any allies at this point after the execution of the head of Ophiel's,because of it many had joined the former-Empress' cause and is obviously being a huge threat to Imperial power.

'If the Ostburg's will gain more power and become loyal to me, i might just be able to stop that slut'

Thus, the Emperor had been planning this time giving the crown of the newly-organized Kingdom of Dorf, which was the Grand Ducal Confederacy and the occupied-Esterloch Theocracy combined into the Ostburgs,

-- Port City of Ostburg, Duchy of Ostburg --

in the docks of the city, many had gathered near the harbor to witness the arrival of a state visit. Many are excited to see what would the new visitors would bring with them. While the Ostburg Loyalists are also there to see the young duke off to the other country.

-- Ostburg Palace --

it is currently middle in the afternoon, the duke is drinking his favorite afternoon tea in his balcony.

from the balcony he could see the outskirts of the city, he was imagining what type of country the United Kingdom will be. Though, he was not really sure about the existence of the country. He still highly doubt the British envoy that arrived a few days ago and it is possible that the envoy was lying and it's a plan set up by the Summerwyn Kingdom.

'It can't be helped, i have to confirmed the country's existence or probably the enemy's trap'

After a few minutes, a huge ship can be seen on the seas outside the city, Zachary was amazed by the huge pearl ship he is seeing for the first time.

Atop the ferry, flies a seemingly new flag to him. He was curious about the ship's flag. The flag had some straight lines with the respective colors of blue,red,and white.

The Union Jack is flying above the pole of the ferry ship, dozens we're amazed by the sight of the ferry ship. The inhabitants of the city can't believe at the sight they we're seeing.

After seeing the ferry ship from the balcony, Zachary stood up and walked towards his room. He took his personal belongings and went downstairs to enter his coach.

upon leaving the Palace entrance, there is his coach with its wheels touching the ground waiting for him. The coachman opened the coach's doors and Zachary entered the coach. The coachman closed the door and proceeded to whip the horses. Running the coach until it leaves the peaceful gardens of the Palace.

The coach took 10 minutes until it reached the main harbor, there a line is wide open by the Palace's guards to secure the entrance of the visitors.

His coach stopped in front of the Harbor, the coach opened the door and he left the coach with his case.

There, a woman with a striking appearance among the delegation is present. It's as if though she is person of high importance. Another is a man who also wears the same suit the delegation worn yesterday.

He walked to the group and politely introduced himself,

”Greetings, i am the Duke of Ostburg, Zachary von Ostburg. It is my pleasure to meet you.”

after his introduction, the woman walked forward and introduced herself;

”I am the Queen of the United Kingdom, Queen Anne. It is my pleasure to meet you the Duke of Ostburg” she replied,

Zachary was surprised that this was the Queen of the United Kingdom, though he had expected she was of importance. But he didn't expect she is the Queen of the United Kingdom.

along the diplomatic team, walked forward a man.

”I am the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, William. It is an honor to meet you the Duke of Ostburg” he added,

”It is my pleasure to meet all of you, all of you are so humble and polite my dear ma'am and sir. Please forgive me if i am rude towards your actions earlier”

”Oh no dear, you haven't done any thing for us to be offended” the Queen replied,

”It is fine sir” William added,

The Three ended up exchanging their hands as a gesture of their meeting.

The Queen and the Prime Minister had then proceeded to carry a small flag with them with the Union Jack on it.

Zachary who was curious on it, asked the two about any description about their flag.

”This flag is sometimes called the Union Jack, the Union Jack represents the union of the Three Kingdoms of, England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland respectively” the Queen replied,

”It has been the symbol of British Unity and Strength against all those who tried to take our humble country down, in which all failed” the Queen added,
