Know Your Enemy, and Know Yourself

Though Nakamura did not respond to Itami's words, she immediately fetched the Korean beauty and sent her to the empress. It took a while, but eventually the young woman known as Min-ah was standing in front of Empress Itami, wearing the attire of the Japanese Empire, rather than that of her homeland. As she walked into Itami's quarters, and prostrated herself before the young Empress. She spoke in perfect Japanese while she introduced herself.

Itami did not immediately respond, and instead poured herself, and the young woman, a glass of sake. After doing so, she took a sip and contemplated her words carefully before voicing her concerns.
