“I just find them rather silly… especially when talking or even as political leaders although I can not judge any actions, for I have no note of them as of yet. Perhaps my thoughts on them will change after my rule has established itself and I will delve deeper into international history. Also with regret I must say, I am not familiar with your national anthem. Now… King Samuil Rainard of Vulshain…”
The empress paused for a few seconds again and also seized the opportunity to take a quick sip of water.
“King Samuil Rainard is a monarch we can identify with in Kandorith. He has served his nation in the military and his country must be going trough quite hard times as far as I know. Most of our own leaders have been war heroes or even warlords apart from Emperor Aisho upon request of the late Emperor Uchi. Also his parliament has helped us try and find diplomatic solutions in a large scale conflict for the first time. I think that he is a capable leader, I am sure of it and the best qualities of his leadership still have to surface. He is among the national leaders we would like to invite in a rather short time to establish international relations, although a few other nations out of this region had requested to meet Emperor Aisho in person. Those requests of course are priority.”
