Much to the trade convoy's dismay, they would be kindly informed that the Island of Okinawa it self would not fall under the direct Rule of the Shogun of Tokyo, rather while still being a territory of Japan, they would actually fall under Parcian Control (think Honk Kong and the British) As evidence to this, the diplomats would be pointed to the Parcian Governor situated at the small armed fort that also held the small squadron of 5 armed Schooners and 150 Parcian Army troops.
The "Bai ren" The portly man spoke too would not be Anglish, to his misfortune, rather a Parcian Merchantman, one Roberto Clemencia II, who answered in a equally drunken tone. "Better then the pisswater your Ilk brews, Chinamen." He would be a young merchantmen, with only a few small ships under his command but having his wealth built upon a family legacy of wealth. He carried a Modello 1850 revolver on his hip.
Shocked at the man’s reply, Lei slammed his fist into the table and stood up with his men watching. The force knocking the table a enough to topple a few drinks and the screech of his stool clumsily falling over. His flushed faces revealed bloodshot eyes, and now the blood circulation flowing cause the alchohol to take full effect in impairing his speech and motor skills. He waddled to Roberto’s table placing his hands down and approaching his face, studying the revolver and turning to make eye contact.
His thick accent rolling out his words in a hushed but firm tone, “then you wont mind me...” reaching to snatch the Parcian’s cup, he accidently tips it knocking it over to spill onto the man. Disregarding his mistake however he cheekily sneers and simply says “oops...”. Maintaining his proximity into Roberto’s space.
The diplomat however would make way to the Parcian fort to commune with the Romans to discuss establishing consistent trade between the two nations. Surprised that the Japanese were subject to alternative rule, this would surely be in the report to the convent heads. The trade front was unaware of this change and need be informed.
