Lunch with the Ming Prince

Linde sat at the head of the dining table within the Royal Palace. She was alone as she met with the Imperial Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhi. The only other people present in the room were the man's translators, and members of the Reichsgarde whose duty was to protect the Imperial Family at all times. 

The guards were ever watchful of the Imperial Prince. If he showed the slightest hint of hostility or seduction, they would not hesitate to apprehend him. However, the man was calm and collected. He had no intentions of pursuing Linde, no matter how attractive he might have found her to be. In fact, he was more interested in the war that the Kaiser was currently fighting and quickly inquired about it.
