''to | It is another peaceful day on the [[island nation]] of [[Tanto]]. [[Professor]] [[Cantha]] and [[Kitty (The Broken World)|Kitty]] are walking along the marketplace, seeing a [[Sezuan rocket ship|rocket ship]] in the distant sky. Kitty voices her concern on whether they are good or bad. Cantha, sharing her concern, replies that this depends on the [[pilot]]. | ||
On board the rocket ship, [[Ambassador]] [[Durian]] is attempting to land the ship, while his friend [[Menin]] on the radio communication tries to plea with Durian to drop his plans, telling Durian about how they’re "[[animal]]s" without elections and that the [[king]] killed his predecessor, asking that he’d at least take an escort with him or arm himself. Durian brushes him off, wanting to concentrate on his descend. | |||
Having landed in front of [[King of Tanto's Palace|the Palace]], he is met with an army of [[guard]]s. [[King of Tanto's executive officer|The King's right-hand-man]] approaches and greets the stranger, wondering where his master is, or an entourage at least. Durian says he is unfortunately alone. | |||
On his way to the [[throne room]], the man instructs Durian in the correct procedures for his audience with the king, running into a little girl. Wondering who she is, Durian is presented to Her Majesty [[Princess]] [[Didi]], who ask why does not have two faces, having been told by [[Queen of Tanto|her mummy]] that a two-faced man would appear in a rocket ship. Durian and the king's officer laugh at that. Durian explains to her that he did come in a rocket ship but seem to have lost the [[key]], noticing something behind her ear. Reaching down to touch, the armed guards immediately draw their weapons at him, exclaiming that it is forbidden to touch the Princess. Durian apoligizes and bids farewell to Didi. | |||
Meeting with [[King of Tanto|the King]], Durian is met with extreme contempt and anger from the King. The King expresses his annoyance at having to meet with Durian telling him to get on with his business before the King slays him. Durian reminds him that he is unarmed and alone, then explains that due to the threat of an invasion from the nation [[Jura]], he is offering to strike an alliance with Tanto, however the King protests this, continously insisting that they are neutral and at peace. Durian explains that the Jurans may not see it that way. Continuing to brush him off, the King threatens Durian with killing him, saying they will take the chance. | |||
Durian then says that the [[Sezuan]]s will not, then threatens the King with dropping a plague upon Tanto if they decline to help, secretly having planted a concentrated cloud of poison upon the King, explaining that it would kill all life after a week and the week after that, the [[Sezuan invasion of Tanto|Sezuans would land safely on Tanto]]. Durian calls Menin, telling him to prepare the troops, as the King succumbs to the poisoned air. Didi shows up to see her father dying, to Durian's delight. He sees the key to the rocket ship behind her ear, then takes it, Didi exclaiming that he cannot touch her. Durian chuckles. | |||
