A Brutal Rejection

Itami sat upon her throne with a disinterested look in her sanguine eyes. Standing across from her was someone she had never wanted to see again. However, against her wishes, the Ming Prince Zhu Li had returned to Japan, and in doing so appeared to have the goal of gaining Itami's favor. The young man bowed respectfully before the Japanese Empress as he presented gifts to the woman who he longed for most in this world. 

"Empress Itami, your beauty is renowned across the world. I fear whatever gift I may bring is inadequate for a woman of your caliber. However, it is my humble opinion that these furs and fine jades will help enhance your noble bearing."

The fur shawl was as white as Itami's hair, and was masterfully crafted. One glimpse of such a fine accessory would be sure to drive most women crazy with envy. However, in Itami's eyes, it was a gift she would rather not accept.
