Ambassador from the Tetsukyojin Dynasty, Kurogane Genichira, and Isabella, Ambassador of the Behemothia Empire, exchanged polite pleasantries.
"This is some pleasent room inside Havoc Bay," Genichira muttered, while closing her mouth slightly with her folding fan, which looked like a normal bamboo fan, but Isabella was able to tell that it wasn anything but normal.
To any observer, they appeared as allies, their words masked in the veneer of politness. But beneath their diplomatic smiles, a subtle tension simmered, an unspoken understanding that if the opportunity arose, they would be enemies and go for each others neck.
As they discussed the pressing matters of politics and the alarming surge in Drake attacks, their voices remained measured, their faces composed. The threat of these creatures loomed large, yet neither showed weakness in front of the other.
