"Your Imperial Majesty", Prime Minister Thuong Thành Minh told Empress Hông, "I am afraid I have bad news".
"If you allow me to take that liberty", Prime Minister Thuong continued, "I may say that I have bad news and very bad news, Your Imperial Majesty".
"Well, that isn't exactly new nowadays, is it?", Hông replied. "Let's start with the very bad news".
"We have received confirmation from Tiejungo that the plane did not land in the island, and the signal was likely lost before arriving their airspace", Thuong said. "My sincere condolences, Your Imperial Majesty. Tiejungo government has promised me that a joint commission could be created to find the answer, but as you can imagine, we are not in the best scenario to make it work".
"I understand", Empress Hông replied after a minute of silence. "It is probably better that way. What are the bad news?".
"The bad news, the other bad news", Prime Minister Thuong answered as he was trying to find the right words. "Yes, Your Imperial Majesty", he said, "it's that the meeting in Nyköping did not work as well as we planned. It is unclear if the agreement could be reached before the end of the year".
"I hope that's not the case", Hông replied. "Would our finances be decisively affected by this decision?", she asked.
"The agreement would have make things much more easier", Thuong answered. "But we will be able to find the required resources, Your Imperial Majesty. We have more serious problems to face right now, after all".
