Bab 38: The Order of the Rising Sun

The journey to Japan was a brief one. After all, Manchuria was but a stone's throw away from the land of the Rising Sun, and because of this Bruno was soon greeted by the envoys of Emperor Meiji himself when he landed in Tokyo.

The man who had restored Imperial power, and ended the reign of the Shogun. He was an imposing figure in Japanese History and one whose exploits Bruno was all too aware of. The attendants made sure Bruno was precisely aware of the proper etiquette that should be maintained in the Japanese court.

In addition to this, they made sure he was properly groomed. He had after all spent the better course of a month in an active Warzone, and another two months prior to that at sea. But when Bruno stepped out of the bath, and clothed by the servants who attended to him. He looked in the mirror and saw that he was much better looking than normal.
