Meeting the Officials

As the Emperor and the Empress of the Wind Kingdom were seated in the Dragon Throne, every official did their greetings and then it was turn for the Nobles and the Merchant families invited to the Coronation to give gifts to the Emperor congratulating him.

" Did the Water and the Earth Kingdom send any congratulatory tributes?", Xing asked the Emperor as she was curious. The Wind Kingdom doesn't have any vassal states who pay tributes and the neighbouring Kingdoms sould send gifts at least for formality, right? After all their kingdom is the mother kingdom for the Water and the earth kingdom.

" Out relationship with those countries is non-existent. We didn't send any congratulatory gifts for their Emperor's coronation either", he replied.

That's no good... Xing thought. With war approaching from the tribals, it is not good for a kingdom to be completely isolated from their neighbours, right? How come no one addressed it seriously till now?
