"Oh, not at all, High Paladin", they both answered simultaneously. The king continued.
"It was interesting. Congratulations on your fruitful work. These other places you mentioned, are they like this place?"

High Paladin Dietrich Fillo Do Xeo

"Thank you for my friends. Unfortunately, the Lux Universus is one of a kind, there's no other place like this on our planet. In which one combines the brilliance of human engineering and the complexity of nature as much as this place. Sure, we have some cities that try to manipulate the sheer awesomeness of this building, but none could understand how great this building was."

*Looks at watch*

"I do beg your pardon my friends, but I must depart immediately, we are going to start anytime soon."

*Gracefully Bows*

"I hope we can talk again soon."

*Leaves the Sedunnic King and his wife.*

Pauline Dragt

A twinkle in Pauline's eyes seems to light up.

"Oh yes! I would very much love that. Please, allow me to follow you. What an interesting concept, and I would like nothing more than to try your recommendations Lady. I thank you very much.

[i]Pauline looks a tad eager towards the tea area.

Lux Universus.
ButterFire

ButterFire smiled. "I'd love to see what Hammerstarian literature has to offer," she agreed, "And I'm sure my accomplice would like to have a look too. I'll go get John." She sweeps her hand at the main building. "After you, Commander."

Lux Universus.
John Smith

John glances over at his acquaintance, the FED Delegate Howard Green, who has wondered off for about the hundredth time. He sighed, taking a sip of the grape juice that Howard has given him one of the few occasions he returned. The fruit was sweet, but not as sweet as the grapes by home. He shook his head and sighed again. While his accomplice was continuously disappearing off into the crowds, greeting one of hundred nation leaders he just happens to know, he was waiting for the Baron to return, not knowing which one of the thousand possibilities might have happened to her.

John stared at the round, circular object on one of the walls. The object had some sorts of symbols painted onto it. Three long sticks of various lengths rotated around the surface of the object at various speeds. When the room was quiet enough, John was sure that the object emitted a ticking sound when one of the sticks moved. The object fascinated John as he had absolutely no idea what the object is, or what it's meant to do.

Howard Green

Howard raised his hand in farewell at one of his friends before turning to the spot he last saw Mr. John Smith standing. As he turned, he unintentionally intercepted the path of the President, Hubble Einstein.

"Pardon me, sir..." He apologised politely, "I didn't see you there." Howard turned to resume his walk when he stopped. He realised he has overlooked some small detail. He turned back to the President "Mr. Einstein?" He began.

President Hubble Einstein at Mr. Green: "Yes, I presume that is I, Mr... Green? Yes, I think so. Are you looking for someone? You seem a tad rushed. I was about to follow Lady Fia. Can I assist you?"

Commander Alpha

"Of course, I can take you and John Smith to the library later. I would like you to meet my friend as well, she was the leader of the country long ago. We could go visit the grand library later, for I must escort you back to the hall once more Baron, the event is about to start."

*Escorts the lady to the hall, and breaks apart from her, going towards Amelia.*

Lady Fionnabhair Aliammeire Pendragon

"Ah yes, Mr. Green.."

*A server came to Fia Pendragon, and the server whispered a couple of things.*

"We would have to go to the library later gentlemen, the event is about to start. I'd have to wrap this up, and we can continue our little tour. Sound good? Thank you for understanding."

*Leaves the delegacy, with the server following.*

Amelia Francesca Elena

*She was talking to the Kringalian Vice-President and his wife, but when Commander Alpha signalled her, she decided to beg pardon.*

"I hope we can continue this discussion soon, I am looking forward to talk to you again."

*Bows*

"Ciao."

*Leaves the Kringalian Vice President*

Lady Avianna Lynessa Chronowallace

"I do beg your pardon my friends, I believe the event is about to start, I shall accompany you for tea after I finish this."

*Bows*

"Excuse me."

*Leaves the Feirmontian and the Bonaugurean representatives*

The six main people rallied up in a private room, which was an entrance to the main stage. They were about to open the event, and finally introduce the Hammerstarian culture towards all these people. Their hands were sweating of anxiety, but they soon realised that after long chats with their guests, it seems like the international leaders aren't' so intimidating after all. After regaining their composure, they signalled the head valet, Guillermo Giovanni Wolfgang, to start the sequence.

Hammerstar is about to shine itself to the world.

President Hubble Einstein:
"Okay? So do we go there or just stand here? Is it for everyone, this event?"

"You beat me to it, Mr. Einstein. What do you think this whole fuss is about anyway?" Said Mercel while gesturing to where the main stage was located.

Ridcully and Bangalter sidled over to Mercel and Einstein.
"Good evening, gentlemen. What are you discussing?"

Mercel simply shrugged, "Not much. Just wondering what our hosts are preparing backstage. Lady Pendragon seemed rather nervous before excusing herself, and so did the others. For a people that is supposed to read emotions and behavior like open books, they do a fairly bad job at masking their own. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they are up to."

He smiled lightheartedly before turning to Ridcully and Bangalter, bowing with a fist held up to his chest.

"On another note, it truly is an honor to meet the two of you. Darkstrait has recently had a significant influence in our internal politics, and with due reason. We should talk after this is over, we have a few propositions that may benefit both of our nations."
