International Diplomacy Part II

Several days had passed since Itami first received Gerhard's taunts, and now she was sitting across from the man within the confines of the German Embassy. The woman was not dressed in her usual militant attire, rather she wore the traditional Jūnihitoe as a sign of her civil intentions. A confident smirk emerged on the German Ambassador's face as he closely examined every inch of the young Empress before complimenting the woman on her pristine appearance. 

"I must say, I did not expect you to be so beautiful. The Kaiser would be very pleased with your appearance were he here to speak with you himself..."

A slight frown emerged on Itami's luscious lips as she furrowed her brows in discontent. Though these words sounded like a compliment, she could tell that the man was simply mocking her as just another foreign beauty. As a result, she was forced to suppress her internal fury before asking the man to be serious in this exchange of dialogue.
