Ambassador Willelm Cho knew immediately after hearing the news of the incident on the sea that he could expect a call from the president's office sooner rather than later. He stood in the anteroom to the president's office, waiting to be called in. He made sure that his appearance was impeccable, as was expected of an Arrenlander diplomat. Ambassador Cho was an Ostaran man, of average height for his race, and a veteran of many administrations. He had been ambassador to Brymme for almost a decade now, and he believed that he had built a cordial relationship with the Brymmish government, despite the high tensions that pervaded.
Unfortunately, recent events threatened all of his hard work. He was a diplomat by nature, one who liked to come to agreements and find compromise wherever possible for everyone's mutual benefit. This was the exact opposite position of the new Populist government headed by Eadmund Dunstan. They were rigid in their beliefs, and this applied as much to dealing with other nations as it did to dealing with other parties. Cho did not vote for the Popular Party, and did not agree with much of their foreign policy. It was a wonder that he remained in his position and had not been replaced by someone more aligned with the government's beliefs.
His personal feelings did not matter today, however. He was the ambassador from the Kingdom of Arrenland to the Brymmish Republic. His duty was to represent the position of his government to the best of his abilities. Fortunately, he had had enough time before being summoned by the president to communicate with the Arrenlander government and to be given its official position, at least for now.
Finally, the secretary opened the door slightly and beckoned the ambassador into the president's office. Clearing his threat and straightening his jacket, he stepped inside. "Mr. President," he said with a forced smile, "it's a pleasure to see you. I had hopes that our next meeting would be under more pleasant circumstances, however."
