The citizen run and hid inside their house when the envoys pass
through the city road.
The road becomes deserted and as they arrive in the Palace, all the Ministers that present in the Main Hall show their uncomfortable expression.
The General stands in front on the left side of the hall, facing the throne, his jaw tightens and his hand is gripping his sheathed sword rather tightly.
The envoys walk into the Main Hall and stop right in front the throne. They greet the King lightly.
One of the Ming steps forward and looks at the King directly, ”King Lee, I'm Commander Zu, I lead the soldiers in my country and you can also consider me the chief of this envoy,” he introduces himself arrogantly.
The General looks at him displeased, ”Watch your manner, you are speaking to the King of this Nation,” he warns him.
The Commander looks at the Commander and smirks then he shifts his attention to the King, ”Oh, apologise my behaviour because I only bow to My Emperor,” his remarks make the Ministers gasp with disbelieve.
”I adore your loyalty,” the General says, ”but remember, you are in our territory and you are our guest, so behave like one,” the tension arises.
Then the Royal Advisor steps forward, ”Please excuse my interruption, General Lee and Commander Zu” he nods slightly to both of them, ”This meeting is a very special occasion. We are building a better relationship where we were once enemies. We would not want any uncomfortable situation during our discussion on this delightful matter, wouldn't we?”
The General looks intensely at the Commander then diverts his attention stands back at his position facing the throne. The Commander grins at the General's reaction, ”Of course, of course not. We come with peace.” He opens his hands widely and make a turn, ”We even followed your request to no weapon.”
The King who has been silent then finally speaks, ”I'm flattered to hear the Commander of the Ming kindly follows our request. I hope you do not feel troubled by such arrangement since the main reason for this gathering is solely for peace, is it not?”
The Commander clasps both his hands and forms a thin smile, ”Yes, of course, King Lee. I understood perfectly. I think we can continue our discussion later,” his gestures at the other envoys, ”My brothers are tired from the long journey. I would like to excuse ourselves.”
The King orders the Eunuch to take them to the Guest House and as soon as the
leave the hall, one by one the Ministers show their dissatisfaction.
”They are so arrogant as if they are still in their country,” the Prime Minister huffs.
”They are rude and act like they are superior than us,” the Minister of Finance says.
”We should not let them stay longer. The longer they stay here, the more restless the people will be,” the Minister of Defense speaks his thought.
