The Jafarian Palace
In the capital city of Masibe, as diplomatic relations re-open up in the midst of a pandemic and economic recession effecting the region, a conference had been daringly called for the meeting of Muhammad II of the United Kingdom of Kesewani and the newly appointed Busarian Ambassador to Kesewani in order to discuss diplomatic and economic ties of the neighboring countries of Kesewani and Busarian.
Keanjaho Mauladui, the Chief of the Kesewi Royal Court had arranged for the meeting to take place in the Green Chamber of the Jafarian Palace, a beautiful white royal complex built in the 1920's by King Muhammad's great-grandfather, King Jafari. The Green Chamber, ornately designed with the style of the art-deco that had been all the rage in style a hundred years ago, had often served as a peaceful meeting palace for diplomacy and politics, both within and outside of Kesewani. It took its name from its green and gold walls and massive emerald chandelier that hung over the ornate table that served as the centerpiece of the room.
Mauladui, an elderly man dressed in the traditional kanzu that was eggshell white, striking against his dark skin and gray hair, stood alongside His Majesty's Secretaries, the members of the Royal Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, though the actual prime minister, Usian Mwinhyai of the People's Liberal Party would not be in attendance today. There, however, was the secretaries of foreign affairs, ( Abdalla Serkinjia a friendly faced rotund man of short stature in a suit), the treasury (Chitundu Birashika, a thin bald man wit deep wrinkles) and business & industrial strategy (Zahur Flochikau an equally bald, equally old but bespectacled man)
Center stage was King Muhammad II, a dark-skinned man with black hair and well groomed beard just under six feet, dressed in a three piece suit. The ninth king of Kesewani, his twenty year reign had thus far determined the path of the country for the 21st Century. He maintained a cool air of formality and regality as he awaited the arrival of the Busarian ambassador.
