Itami sat in her great hall and sighed to herself as she gazed upon the one man she least wanted to see. From the beginning of the cold war that existed between the German and Japanese Empires until this very moment, there had only ever been one means of contact between the two realms.
Tilicke Schauffhusen was the lawyer that Berengar had selected to troll the Empress Itami Riyo in the past, and his very presence continued to act as an insult to the woman. The woman's bosom heaved heavily as she struggled to calm herself after once more seeing this man enter her palace.
There was a hint of a smirk on Tilicke's face as he bowed respectfully before the Japanese Empress. Despite this act of decorum, Itami knew it was done in a mocking manner, and thus she hissed through her teeth as she asked the man just what reason he had to visit her once more.
