International Diplomacy at Work

Word quickly spread of the Japanese Empire's conquest of Maguindanao, so much so that the Ming Emperor was quick to call a meeting with the German embassy in Beijing. Currently, Ambassador Gerhard von Graz sat in his seat, while being attended to by two young Chinese women. These girls were twins, and they poured a cup of tea for their master with the utmost grace and civility. After filling his cup, they turned to the Ming Prince and did the same for him before scurrying off out of earshot. 

That's right, the Ming Prince. Although the Emperor had called for this meeting, he would not dignify a mere ambassador with his esteemed presence. Thus, he had sent his son Prince Zhu Li to speak with Gerhard.
