Rekindled Hope

The three secret emissaries of the Choson Empire were barred from entering the Hague convention after the Yamato Empire representatives raised objections.

They were standing outside the palace where guards are stationed at the gate, their rifles slung on their shoulders and their glaring eyes prey upon them with a warning that should they continue to persist, they'll be forced to take drastic measures.

"What are we going to do now Yi Jun?" Sangsul asked with a pale expression written on his face. Having learned of the decision of the delegates from all around the world, they were heartbroken. It's like their efforts to get here from Hanseong secretly are nothing more than a futile attempt to stop the inevitable.

"The Ruthenian Empire has tried to help us participate in the conference, but it failed due to the majority vote. Should we report back to Hanseong?" Yi Wi-jong suggested, his face was as pale as Sangsul.
