"Your Highness", Nhung said, "General Kiêu Công Trai has arrived".
"Perfect", Lâm Thành Thuân said. "Tell him to come immediately".
"Yes, Your Highness", Nhung said.
"You told me you didn't know him", Làm Thành Thuân said to his friend Phan Thành Bào".
"No, Your Highness", Phan said. "I am afraid that's not the case".
"His father and my father were good friends", Làm Thành Thuân replied. "They met in the military academy, I think...General Kiêu has told me that he met your father several times".
"That could be possible", Phan said. "I have no idea but I wouldn't be surprised".
"Certainly", Làm Thành Thuân replied. "Excellent", Làm added, "the general has arrived. Welcome".
"Good evening, Prince Làm", General Kiêu said. "It's always a pleasure, Your Highness".
"I believe you don't know Phan....Phan Thành Bào", Prince Làm said. "He was always a good friend of our family".
"It's a pleasure", General Kiêu said, after looking Phan with a not exactly friendly glance.
"As it is for me, general", Phan replied.
"How are things going?", Prince Làm said.
"Unfortunately, not very well", General Kiêu said. "The situation is not desperate but it's not going as well as expected".
"At least the mood in Hôi Luỳên is not very good...", Prince Làm said. "I can't imagine what kind of hell it's being there...either in the north or the provinces".
"Don't you believe that situation is changing with Prime Minister Diêp, general...?", Phan suddenly asked.
"If you allow me to be totally honest, Your Highness...", General Kiêu replied. "We, in the army in general, had confidence in a man with experience like the Prime Minister. Certainly a better option that others that were mentioned. But it's not just an issue of personalities. Situations like this need a shift of strategy. Not just a new leadership, but a radical move which helps us to control the situation and the mood again".
"That sounds reasonable", Prince Làm said. "Can't you believe that...a certain Phao, I believe, likely a nobody, one guy who believes he's someone important because he found himself in the parliament...What was I saying? Ah yes, that guy has suggested to investigate our friend Phan and his family as this was going to calm down the mob! What an idiot! After all they did for our country!".
"Yes, Your Highness", General Kiêu replied. "I mean, I didn't hear about it but I'm not surprised".
"I guess I wouldn't be surprise if that happened", Prince Làm said. "But honour...honour can't be lost".
"Yes, Your Highness", General Kiêu replied begrudgingly, "you are totally right".
"Sometime I even doubt my cousin will be able to stop the country going to the wrong direction...", Prince Làm said. "Excuse me, general, but everything that's happening worries me severely".
"It's understable, Your Highness", General Kiêu said. "Let's hope all this ends soon".
"Your Highness", Nhung said, "General Kiêu Công Trai has arrived".
