King Lapu, in a usual Quintelian fashion, was late again, as he saw that no-one is around the helipad. His flight was far beyond from being described as smooth, as winds gave his private plane heavy turbulence. As he started running up the castle, the rain eventually began to pour, leaving King Lapu wet as he forgot his umbrella. He finally arrived, dripping and shivering, as the unexpected rain almost ruined his suit. The King headed upstairs, wiping himself dry to no avail. “So, where should I sit?” The King asked, still slightly moist. “Also, I’m King Lapu of Quintelia, pleasure to meet you, Grand Duke.” He extended his hands as to have it shaken.
Meanwhile, President Dominic Colbert of Pardclinnia had almost the same luck. His short flight was almost cancelled, although as soon as the skies slightly cleared, he took off. This would be his first international visit, and the president is very anxious, with a handkerchief on one his right hand to absorb the sweat coming out of it. The media has been making lots and lots of speculations and questions about the President’s trip as soon as it was confirmed that the President is going to a meeting. Will this be another failed attempt to make a connected Ardia? Will he and the Quintelian King sign new business deals? Even in social media, the questions and criticisms are non-stop.
His plane finally landed, and after a short helicopter ride, he arrived near the Grand Palace. He observed a man tunning to the Palace, to which he laughed at, before buttoning up a coat and opening his umbrella. He took his time to walk towards theentrance of the Palace, trying not to slip on the slippery masonry. Upon his arrival, he followed the wet footsteps upstairs and saw the clumsy man he saw earlier was King Lapu, probably trying to save himself from emabarrasment. He queitly sat down on one of the chairs with a sword, waiting for something to happen.
