The Stoinians looked astonishingly at the Imperial Palace. It was as if their architecture was pasted in the Executive District of the Ryccian Empire! The Royal Palace in Sinaia was practically similar to it, though less grand. Perhaps one day the King may set his foot there and enjoy tea with his Ryccian counterpart. This revelation visibly confused the Stoinians and they couldn't quite find the words for it.

"Well the architect of the Imperial Palace certainly deserves our compliments. What a marvellous piece of architecture!"

The Chancellor and Queen smiled at the King's apparent joke, though the Ryccian likely wouldn't understand it. The tour would however come to its end and as they left Daonlathas' orbit, they admired the city landscape from space again. They returned back to orbit around Constantiople and docked with the King's flagship as the preparations for the long journey home were done. They thanked the Ryccian Ambassador for his time and tour of the Capital. The Chancellor even stated that if the Ryccians would want to introduce the Ambassador's yacht to the Stoinian market, that he would be happy to introduce them to the right people in Stoinia. The King's visit had ended on a positive note compared to the many cultural differences between the two people which were made obvious during his stay. Now the King was on his way to Ecteen for he had an important announcement to make concerning cooperation with the Treecuu. In the end, the King's visit was a success and the foundations for foreign relations and cooperation have been set.

Times are changing for the sector and for Stoinia. May God help us in strengthening the bond with our Terran brethren...
