Wednesday
Pataliputra, Syrixian Empire
The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting was a resounding success. However, the Empire's bimillennial extravaganza was far from over. Next, for the Emperor, were the meetings with delegations from various nations. He was not obliged by any means to hold these meetings, but they were meetings he wanted to hold regardless. He had not chosen who to meet with without reason.
Today was Wednesday, April 17; there were four meetings tomorrow- April 18- and four today. Of those four, the first was perhaps the one he was looking forward to the most. Just as he was a mysterious figure to King Tobias III of Prydania, so was Tobias to him. The Empire had funded the FNU efforts in the Prydanian Civil War, and as an avid student of history he personally knew a fair deal about Tobias' life story. Yet despite this, Rajesh was one of the few prominent world leaders to have not yet met the famous Boy-King of Prydania in person.
Rajesh sat on the Jade Throne thinking on this, while reading a small copy of the Mahabhaglia, when suddenly an aide entered the room. "Your Majesty, King Tobias III of Prydania is here." the aide said, briefly.
"Very well," the Emperor replied, "Open the doors.”
