She was not the Emperor of Harmony.
But she was so identical to him that she could cosplay as a young Rael, before he had ascended the throne. Her rich, golden irises bore deep into his dark gray eyes knowingly.

"Prime Minister Edward," she performed a little curtsy, humbling herself before one of the most powerful leaders of Panamic Civilization. "It is an honor to finally meet you. I have heard much about you from my father and had looked forward to speaking with you today on this occasion."
"I was not aware that I would have the honor of being graced by your presence, Your Highness," Prime Minister Edward spoke with a measured tone. "What a pleasant surprise."
