| A Forged Alliance, Huawan-Ubesii meet in Kysa |
The Peony slept on her seat, and next to her is the High Commodore and Trade Minister, Lord Zheng He, an old veteran in charge of both the Royal Peonic Navy and the Royal Peonic Trading Company. He served The Peony's predecessors long before her coronation, and The Peony seeks this old man as if he was her mentor and grandfather.
As such Lord Zheng He can only sigh at the young girl who takes food more than she can chew, and he has promised The Peony's deceased mother many years ago, that she would guard her daughter as he had stood next to her mother. He stroked his beard as he drank apple juice served infront of him, and felt quite inconvenient when The Peony shifted her head towards his shoulder. To make matters worse, She snores heavily. He was about to get her off his shoulder when she heard her murmur. "Mommy." As such the old Lord decided to let her sleep on his shoulder for a while, as the plane flies towards Ubesii, for if they are to extend their naval reach, trade with the Ubesii-ans must be strong in order to accomplish the feat. The plane landed, and The Peony woke up from her slumber. "Good Morning." Said Lord Zheng He. "Good Morning..." Responded The Peony, "Was I snoring?" "Oh no, you weren't."

The three leaders kept mostly to themselves as the sleek, white train sped along the hilly countryside towards Kysa, the largest city and trade port in Ubesii, and their meeting with the delegation from Huawan, which would hopefully lead to an alliance with the western power. With them were each of their personal guard retinues, six imperial guards for Cyrus Mokana, the current Parkai of Ubesii and the restorer of the Mokana dynasty, and eight elite soldiers from the National Army of the Center, four for Syna Zantos, incumbent Xincha of the Assembly, and four for Ardash Khosran, one of the two satraps of the Tanisian Autonomous Republic.
Although the three had of course talked business early on and at various points along the way, and some attempts at conversation were occasionally made, mostly between the Parkai and Ardash, in these last few minutes before arriving in at their destination, they all kept to their own devices. Syna Zantos sat in her seat in her all black government outfit, much like modern business attire, contrasting sharply with her, like all Ubessians, extremely pale skin as well as her light grey hair, cut short and subtly braided in the style of traditional Ubesii. Her back was slightly bent as she alternated in reading through the book in her lap, a tome exploring the history of culture in Huawan, and keeping up on government reports when they came in. The Parkai, the oldest member of the Ubessian delegation, sat wearing the uniform of the Imperial Monarch, the lightly military styled outfit in the black red and cyan of the Mokana clan worn by the Parkais of the days of the Empire. He sat looking out the window with his hand resting on his chin, occasionally stroking his short beard as he contemplated the upcoming meeting with Huawan, the rolling landscape creating a mesmerizing portrait as the low walls around the track went by in a grey blur while the hills in the background lazily rose and fell in undulating waves of green, tan, and black. Ardash, similar to the Xincha, sat in a black business suit, highlighted with the colors of Tanis, his short black hair and beard combed straight, with his hair also parted on the right. He too was crouched over reading, going over the information on Huawan, the meeting, and the other delegation one last time before they arrived. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At long last, the train came to a stop, and the three leaders and their escort disembarked, entering into the great city of Kysa and quickly getting into yet another transport, a convoy of government vehicles, set to take the group to the airport to greet the Huawan delegation, and to soon after take both delegations to their final destination, the Sentani Palace, where the meeting itself would be held. Unity, Order, and Freedom

The Peony and Zheng He landed the royal jet in the airport, and got down. The Peony fashioned the hanbok, pink dominating the large bottom skirt and white adorned the top. With, as usual, a Peony flower placed on her head.
Lord Zheng He however, was a man of business-like taste, much reflect to his character, thus adorning a black suit with a blue tie. As they disembarked on the jet, the royal guardians came out first and jumped out of the air stair to set up a guarding stance. When both representatives of the Peocracy met the ground, The Royal guardians set up a stance, and ensured that The honorable Empress and her retainer is protected.

Before the three leaders walked out to greet the delegation from Huawan, their military escort marched out in two rows, the imperial guard in the front and national soldiers behind, stopping and standing at attention when about halfway between the plane and the entrance.
Following the disembarking of the Peony and Commodore, the Ubessian delegation entered the landing area, the Parkai walking at the forefront of the group and the other two following close behind on either side. Upon approaching the two leaders from Huawan, he stopped and smiled, nodded in greeting, it being improper for one of his rank to bow to anyone, and finally speaking to their guests from the west. “Greetings, and on the behalf of our nations, I welcome you to Ubesii and hope that your flight over to our country was agreeable.” Gesturing to his two companions he continued, “If I may introduce the others two members of our entourage, this woman to my left is Syna Zantos, incumbent Xincha and the youngest in our nation’s history to hold that position-” “nóu iā.” Syna said giving a curt traditional Ubesiian bow. “-and to my right here is Ardash Khosran, the first Satrap of the new Tanisian Autonomous Republic.” “Hello, it’s good to have made your acquaintance at last.” He said offering a smile to both the Peony and Commodore. Unity, Order, and Freedom

The Royal guardians of the Peony guarded the Peonic delegacy in the usual box formation, they opened up, to let The Peony and the High Commodore to converse with their well dressed counterparts.
"Sou Ka, Our gratitude is to you, I am glad to have finally meet such prominent leaders as yourself. I am The Peony of our humble Peocracy, and I prefer you to the High Commodore and Trade Minister, Honorable Lord Zheng He. Come, let us begin our meeting, a start of what we hope would be an alliance as strong as ironwood." "You've taken quite the preparation for our welcome, we are grateful, honorable leaders. I take that the state of Ubesii is doing marvelously well at this moment in time?" Asked Zheng He, as he walked with a paper umbrella shielding him and The Peony.

"Yes, both of our nations are doing very well at present, especially with the coming of the Dance of Renewal, and we thank you for asking" responded Syna, offering a nod of her head and the first true, though slight, smile, since entering the landing area.
"We trust that Huawan is doing favorably at the moment as well?” added Ardash, who himself had not ceased smiling warmly since the conversation had begun. Following this exchange, the Parkai turned back to the Peony following her introduction of the High Commodore, gesturing back the way the Ubessian delegation had entered, saying "Indeed, we agree, the meeting shall begin without further delay, please come with us, the motorcade is just this way." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the two delegations proceeded to leave, they were led by their military escort through the building and briefly back out into the light of the day before piling into the waiting gray government cars that sped them away through Kysa, the city of overcrowded skyscrapers and the nation’s greatest economic center, and to the Sentani Palace, the entirely marble-clad Palace of Ten Thousand Pillars, at the northern seaside limits of the city, one of the largest palace complexes in the nation, the prototype for all that would follow, and now a multi-purpose economic, cultural, and government complex and the place of the alliance meeting between Ubesii and Huawan.

"We are, alhamdulilah our country is still stable at the moment."
The Peony was not used to such large structures, she was amazed at how large the palace was. She was smiling, and happy to have been brought to such places. "I could get used to this" came to her mind, but she blew it off. "That's a marvelous structure you have, honorable leader Zantos."

The tall buildings were high, they were nothing like what The Peony had seen before, she wondered of the incredible structures that concrete and steel could do. "Leader Zantos, I must say that I'm quite pleased that we are able to meet at last."

"And you as well, your highness, I hope our meeting will help build a strong foundation for friendship between our nations".
Noticing the Peony's interest in the city, the Xincha continued their conversation, speaking about Kysa, its history and rise to become the largest and most diverse city in Ubesii as well as one of its largest economic centers, as well as asking about various aspects of Huawan and its cities, culture, and economy, among other things while the Parkai and Satrap spoke with the Commodore. As they spoke, the motorcade arrived at the palace, entering the main gate and stopping in front of the grand marble-faced government building, the great rectangular columns for which the palace was named completely surrounding it and every building as well as the interior side of the wall, with a minimalist aesthetic that gave it an almost modern appearance. As the vehicles stopped they released the two delegations and their escorts, with the Xincha standing near the railings around the empty waterway that surrounded most of the government building and stretched throughout the complex near the rest of the Ubesian delegation, before turning and addressing the Huawan delegation, "Welcome to the Sentani Palace, your honors, now that we have arrived, the meeting can begin right away if you would prefer, unless of course you would like to see some the palace first."
