Reincarnated with the Country System

Chapter 81 Visit to the Bernard Empire (2)

Several people stood at the pier, holding vibrant bouquets of flowers.

As they disembarked from the ship, Elizabeth stepped forward to greet the Britannia delegation, her professional demeanour impeccable. Her voice is clear and authoritative.

"Welcome to the Empire," she announced, her keen green eyes scanning the delegates with interest. "I am Prime Minister Elizabeth. On behalf of His Imperial Majesty and the people of the Empire, I extend our warmest greetings." She continued, "I trust Joseph and Captain Yusiru have provided you with ample information about our Empire. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to ask me or any of our staff."

As she spoke, Elizabeth's mind raced, assessing each member of the delegation and noting their reactions and body language.

Dutches Milana said, her regal bearing evident despite the unfamiliar surroundings. "Thank you, Prime Minister Elizabeth, for your warm welcome. The journey was indeed long but fascinating. We are honoured to be here and look forward to strengthening the ties between our nations."

The other delegates nodded in agreement, each reacting in their own way to the futuristic environment around them. Duke Gorge's eyes darted from one marvel to another, barely concealing his amazement. Sam observed everything with keen interest, his mind already considering potential business opportunities. Marquess Aqua Wynter remained calm.

"That's good to hear," Elizabeth replied. "We have prepared accommodations for you and your staff at the Imperial Hotel. There, you will have time to refresh yourselves before the official welcoming ceremony this evening."

A fleet of police cars and sleek black limousine awaited them, gleaming under the sun.

Duke Gorge said, "We have many questions about your remarkable Empire, but I'm sure there will be time for that later. For now, we are grateful for your hospitality and the chance to rest before the evening's ceremony."

Elizabeth nodded, gesturing toward the waiting vehicles. "Of course, duke. Please, allow us to escort you to your accommodations. During the ride, feel free to ask any immediate questions you may have about our city or customs."

As they approached the vehicles, Elizabeth turned to Yusiru, who stood nearby.

"I'm glad to see you have completed your duties successfully," she said, a hint of approval in her tone.

"Thank you, Ma'am. It has been my pleasure to assist in this important mission,"

"Good. You can rest now. Until the next mission,"

The journey to the capital is approximately 150 kilometres away. The motorcade glided smoothly along the well-maintained highways. The sound of sirens pierced the air, followed by the rhythmic thrum of engines. The fleet of sleek police vehicles formed a protective convoy around the limousine. The police fleet, a striking display of authority and precision, consisted of black and silver cars.

Elizabeth took the opportunity to engage the delegates in conversation.

"While we travel, I would like to share a bit about our capital, Rafa," she began, her voice steady and confident. "It is the largest and most populous city in our country, where all the important institutions of our country are located. You will also see many skyscrapers there."

Milana leaned forward, her interest piqued. "I have heard much about Babylon's architectural wonders. Are there any particular sites you would recommend we visit during our stay?"

Elizabeth smiled. "Absolutely. The Grand Imperial Palace, The Hall of Empire and the Statue of Liberty are must-see. Additionally, the Cultural District is home to various museums and galleries that showcase our rich artistic heritage. Also, the Empire State Building, which is the largest structure in our country, from where you can enjoy the entire city view."

As they continued their journey, the delegates gazed out the windows, taking in the changing landscape. The urban sprawl gradually gave way to lush greenery and rolling hills, a stark contrast to the bustling Port City they had just left behind. The vibrant colours of the countryside painted a picturesque scene, and the delegates exchanged appreciative glances.

Marquis Sam and Milana, ever the curious observer, pointed out the window.

"Look at those fields! Agriculture here seems quite advanced."

Sam nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it does. I'd love to learn more about your farming practices and perhaps explore potential trade opportunities."

"Indeed. It would be wise to explore such opportunities during our discussions."

Elizabeth nodded, her eyes sparkling with interest. "I'll arrange for a meeting with our Minister of Agriculture. I'm sure you'll find our methods fascinating."

The conversation continued as they approached the outskirts of the capital, where the majestic cityscape came into view. The towering skyscrapers, gleaming in the sunlight, seemed to stretch on forever, a testament to the Empire's power.

"Welcome to Rafa," Elizabeth announced as they entered the city.

The limousines navigated through the busy streets, passing by vibrant markets, lush parks, and impressive monuments.

Finally, they arrived at the Imperial Hotel, a stunning structure that combined contemporary design with elements of classic architecture. Its grand entrance was adorned with intricate carvings and lush greenery, creating an inviting atmosphere.

As they stepped out of the vehicles, Elizabeth gestured toward the entrance. " Please, allow us to escort you inside. Your rooms are ready, and I encourage you to take some time to refresh yourselves before the evening's ceremony."

"So our guests have arrived at their hotel."

"Yes, Your Majesty, they have arrived about thirty minutes ago. They are currently being observed by our men."

Alberto, who was sitting, looked at his secretary and asked.

"What is their schedule for tomorrow?"

The secretary glanced at his notes and answered, "At 9:00 am tomorrow, they will meet with the Foreign Affairs Minister. Their meeting is expected to conclude by 10:50 am. Following that, they will have a break from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. At 1:15 pm, they will meet with the Prime Minister and the Trade Minister, which will last until 2:30 pm.

Alberto let out a sigh and said these words, " Looks like tomorrow's gonna be a busy day. I hope everything will go smoothly."
