"Also, nice to meet you" said Carl, trying to be polite "I am honoured to be in your presence, in this fine nation of yours"

"No need for apologies, we were unaware of your arrival, we should however. Have you received your accommodations? I duly hope so..."

Diao Chan looked at her watch, and realized that lunch break might be over.

"Come, let us go into my chambers honorable prince. I shall appoint a chaperon for you if you'd like to rest, or take a tour of this city. You must've been exhausted."

The Peony was an interchange close to her manor, but then remembered that she had a meeting with Diao Chan. She called Rin to meet her in the palace along with several guardians, and told her to bring a spare of clothing and meet her in the palace.

As she got out of the tram, she encountered Aran and the Frost ambassador to The Peony, figures she had saw in the pictures. She wonders wether he was here to court her, or just for official business.

She didn't want to take chances, and sat away from them, merging herself into the crowd, he could've sworn he took a glimpse at her a bit, and she prays that he does not recognize her.

Agent Safa'a directed Lister to the metro station where he is to be escorted to his accommodations, a one floor hotel in the western part of the city, frequented by some of The Peony's guests and other tourists. Though it may not seem much, but this hotel is one of the most coziest and relaxing stays in the whole country.

Lister was brought to his room, and in front of him, a soft futon on the floor placed neatly and elegantly. It was a bit elevated by a brick foundation, but it didn't go so high. A wide living room also made an impression, actually the whole room made an impression to Lister, and seeing his confusion, agent Safa'a decided to explain.

"It may not be the beds like the one in other countries, the traditional method of bedding in The Peocracy is to sleep close to the land in order to maintain one's relations with the world. The futon may look uncomfortable due to its density comparing to other mattresses, but you would sleep so much easier than before. The brick foundation houses a stove, which would then allow the futon to be heated, making it comfortable and warm for the winter season.... Yes I see that expression the foreigners think it like a pan underneath a fire, but I urge you to try it."

Agent Aisyah placed Lister's bag on the table, and Agent Safa'a briefed Mr. Lister.

"So, take a break honorable guest, you have a living room, a kitchen, and a hot shower with a bath. You may exit from the regular route or exit to your own private courtyard. There are also several facilities in this hotel if you'd like to use them, a hot spring bath, a sauna, the dining hall, a gaming centre, a gym, a koi pond, the main courtyard, and an art's hall where you can see art performances every night at 8. This hotel is quite close to the national park, and various hawkers as well. In front of this hotel is a tea house, if you might be interested in tea. Me and my team shall leave it to you, and notify you when it's time to go. So please, relax yourself, you've had a long trip."

The other agents bowed, and left, as Agent Safa'a tried to exit, he looked at Mr. Lister one more time.

"Is there anything else we can help you with? We are at your disposal."
