Everything had been set. The decoration glorifying both the Holy Luthori Empire and the Great Commonwealth and Empire of Indrala were perfectly placed. Zhongjing International Airport was bristling with security forces and surrounded by members of the Imperial Guard. Nothing could be allowed to go wrong, which would set back relations between the only sane Gao-Showan-Han-Kyo nation in all of Terra and one of the most powerful nations in the West. Indeed, East-West relations would most likely be at the top of the agenda concerning the talks between Emperor Gustavus II and the Holy Luthori Imperial Delegation and the ruling government of the Great Commonwealth and Empire of Indrala.
These are dark times indeed for Dovani and all of the Gao-Showan-Han-Kyo nations. It is imperative for Indrala to ally itself with western nations, especially monarchies. No one could fortell Indrala's future, but if the monarchy is to survive, the Imperial Clan of Liu and the Great Xinhan Dynasty must reach out to those with similar views.
Near the private airstip designated for domestic and government use only stood a crowd of happy Indralans waving both the flag of Indrala and the Holy Luthori Empire. The people seemed just as eager as the government of Indrala to build a strong friendship with their Western cousins. Atop a dais in the middle of crowd sat Emperor Huifu, Empress Megumi, and their children Crown Princess Liu Feng and Prince Liu Long. Along with the Imperial Family stood Viceroy Xiao Xin and Chancellor Zhuge Luo. All of them were dressed in traditional Southern Indralan dress, which were historic descendents of clothing from the original Great Xinhan Empire and Dynasty. Next to the Imperial Family was a replica of the Holy Luthori throne and various gifts from the Government of Indrala. They would all be shortly joined by the members of the Kuomintang and Clan Deng.
The descending Luthori aircraft caused the crowd to go wild.
