"and you will not believe the scheduled changes I had to make I'm gonna have to read through multiple angry worded letters from ambassadors because of this!" Exclaimed Rosalinde Berk the Emperor's personal secretary. The Emperor turned to her and said.

I understand the difficulty, and I appreciate it.

"I just don't see why this coronation was so important to you" The secrertary had spent the last few years with the Emperor and despite everything was never able to quite figure out how his mind worked. "Especially with the upcoming war and-"

It is important for the monarchies of the world to grow healthy and support one another, or else the from of government could be entirely destroyed. That is why this coronation is important.

With that the Emporer got into his jet, with the his bodyguards the Secor brothers, and headed to the coronation.

[Ausrea]

"Mr. President why is this coronation so important? said Taehyun Hyejin's secretary, whom looked at her with a smile "we are in the same alliance after all and it is important for us allies to support eachother" The First President of Ausrea told his secretary, who sighed and Taehyun then walked outside to where a hellicopter and 4 bodyguards are waiting for him, he went into the helicopter with the bodyguards and went towards the Coronation

[Hiwenss]

To get out of Hiwenss there was only two airports in the country one on top of a mountain another in the capital. Grand Commander Artyom Bogdan choose the one in the capital and was greeted by military bands and crowds watching as he left to Hong Kong Empire. It was embarrassing this being the leaders first time out of his native land but he knew wasn't going to be the last. After several hours he finally arrived at the coronation with four guards. The commander was dressed in his best suit a light yellow suit made from Hiwenss Silkworms; Itsaid to be one of the softest forms of silk. He also brought along silk blankets to give to any nation he hoped to score trading agreement with.

[Radicaster]

"Your Imperial Majesty, we have to get out now!", one of Emperor Chongzhen's advisors yelled.
"What is it that should concern me?", Chongzhen asked.
"The coronation! Don't you know?". the advisor replied.
"Ugh, fine.", Chongzhen mumbled as he ran towards his personal airport.

[Hong Kong Empire]

As foreign leaders arrived, the imperial administration scrambled to provide transportation for them to Xindaming Palace. Xianggang international airport was readied for the visitors arriving by air, and several yachts were moored in Shanghai to provide transportation upriver to Xindaming for those arriving by sea.

[Aldion]

"Thomas, hurry up! We'll be late if you keep on trying to woo these Hong Kong women"
- Queen Elizabeth Alshire, Lamp Queen, Wielder of Stormbreaker

"Alright, alright, this better be worth the trip, my back still hurts from the car's chairs. They don't even have double cushioning"
- Prince Thomas Alshire, Commander of the Land, rubbing his sore back

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. You're too spoilt. Taylors, escort us to the event please"
- Queen Elizabeth Alshire, Lamp Queen, Wielder of Stormbreaker

"Yes, your grace"
- Ser Luke Taylors, Head of the Home Gaurd

[Hong Kong Empire]

The foreign leaders are driven to the palace of Xindaming, and as they catch their first glimpse of the palace, they can't help but be awed. Rearing 100 meters above them are the outer walls of the palace, with the Dangfeng Gate just ahead. Over the walls, they can just see the golden rooftops of the tallest buildings.



The Chancellor Qianlong was standing just outside of the central opening of the gate. At a signal from him, the chauffeurs stopped the cars and ushered the guests out.
"Welcome to the palace and park of Xindaming! My name is Qianlong and I am here to tell you some things about the palace. First of all, the palace covers over 20,000 square miles! You are to follow me, or other officials when we tell you, and when you get your apartments for your stay, do not wander too far, as you may become lost. Second, be considerate of the 3 million other people living in the palace! Third, read the etiquette books that are provided in your apartments
about how to behave at the coronation. Now follow me.

They followed him through one of the side openings to where a small fleet of cars was parked.
"Please get in."
They got in and the chauffeurs began driving them.

[Blizatine]

The trio sat in the car provided to them in silence and waited to arrive, the years had taught them to be carefull what they said in a setting like this even if it was only in front of on chauffeur. Well two of them have anyway.
"Read a book on manners, don't wander, these people have some serious nerve" Zathe said bitterly
"Zathe watch your tongue we're professional bodyguards act like it." Randar replied
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize having an opinion was unprofessional. When did this happen I don't remember this being a problem before"
"Times have changed, we're not transporting runaways and officials across the island anymore, this is an entirely different set of work."
"Well I like the old times better."
"Unfortunately for you, that is not something we can control, but something we must adapt to."
The Emperor decided to cut in before such a conversation went to far,

They don't want us to wander because the average ambassador here is an average person for whom there could be self inflicted consequences if they wander. The statement comes from a place of good intent. The book on etiquette is actually fortunate for us because do to the war and the date change I have been unable to fully learn the ediquette of this region, we are lucky that they did not assume we would know the etiquette like most countries do. I will hear no more on the subject.

The ride continued in silence.

[Panama Coalition]

The delegation of the Panama Coalition is impressed with the size of the Palace. They enjoy the trip, admiring the landscape.

"I would like to take a photo of the palace to send it to my children" says one of the entourage.

[Allanea]

The Free Kingdom Ministry of Foreign Affairs congratulates His Imperial Majesty for his ascent to the throne. We will send Ambassador Arndold Feng to attend. He will be bringing a gift - a golden statuette of the goddess Nike, Goddess of Victory, as well as a sabre with a golden handle inlaid with rubies and diamonds.

[Hiwenss]

The Commander was extremely impressed by the Palace as it had more people in it then his Country. It was almost overwhelming seeing this giant place before him but he was not going to show his astonishment to anyone else.

[Hong Kong Empire]

While the guests are in the cars, they are given tours of the palace, showing some of the most famous landmarks.

In Hiwenss' car
The chauffeur pointed out some landmarks and places they were driving through.
"Here is the forecourt, measuring exactly one mile square, and through those gates over there is the 25 mile square great court, which contains the Hanyuandian hall, the largest building, in terms of volume, in the world."
