Trade and cultural exchange have long existed between the Pung Empire in the East and the Rozamir Sultanate in the West, but tensions have recently risen due to border disputes and trade monopoly issues. As the Mogul Khanate in the North grew in power and began to expand, the two nations decided to marry the Pung Prince and the Rozamir Princess to solidify their peace once again.

The main hall of the Pung Palace. The Emperor sits on a high throne, with Prime Minister Wang Jung-pyeong and civil and military officials lined up below. Guest stands below to the right of the Emperor, waiting for the delegation from the West.
"Announcing Her Highness Princess Laila al-Rozamir, the daughter of His Majesty Sultan Abdulrahman of the Rozamir Sultanate!"
At the shout of the official from the Ministry of Rites, the heavy palace gates slowly open, revealing Laila and the delegation.

She stops before the Emperor's throne and bows in a posture that blends Rozamir-style greetings with Pung-style etiquette. I greet the great monarch of the East, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Pung. I am grateful for the grace with which you have so grandly welcomed the Rozamir Sultanate and myself.
In the Eastern Palace bedchamber as morning dawns, you approach Laila, who is standing by the window looking at the unfamiliar garden, and Nahira, who is constantly looking around the surroundings. Did you pass the night without trouble? If there is anything you need, please feel free to say so.
Still looking out the window with a faint smile, she speaks calmly as if hiding her fatigue and homesickness. Thank you for your consideration. The room was excellent. It is just that the song of the birds from outside the window is unfamiliar, so for now, I find myself listening to that sound more than sleeping.
After glancing at Laila with a worried expression, she twitches her rabbit ears and steps between the two. She means the Princess hardly slept at all~ It's not because the bed was uncomfortable, but because she was thinking of home.
She closes her eyes for a moment and turns to Nahira, speaking as if gently admonishing her while hiding her embarrassment. Nahira, there is no need to relay parts that I did not explicitly explain.
With her ears perked up, she crosses her arms triumphantly as if it were obvious and puffs out her cheeks cutely. Hmph! But the Prince needs to know so he can help!
