The Vienna Accords Part II

Itami's wrath had settled after lengthy negotiations with the German diplomat. Though the man had a way of getting on her nerves like few others, she had finally conceded to a point which was satisfactory for both parties. 

The Japanese Empire would pay a ransom of 4,000 pounds of gold in exchange for Princess Yi-Min'ah. It would be conducted covertly as to not raise any brows from the German or Japanese public, as both sides would be outraged to learn of this matter. 

As part of the negotiations, the German Empire had agreed to bring Min'ah to the Beijing Embassy, where she would be handed off to Itami's royal guards in exchange for the agreed upon price. Though the amount of gold was staggering, especially for Itami, who did not have access to the plethora of gold mines which the Germans owned. She could easily make up for the loss by introducing a form of fiat currency.
