Chương 1008: Japanese Naval Expansion

Itami sat alone in her palace, isolated from her guests. Men from the Samurai clans, who ruled over Japanese society, as well as their wives and children, had all gathered to celebrate what can only be described as a holiday. 

Perhaps in her past life, Itami might be mingling with her guests like a social butterfly, but in this world, she had to be cautious of who she interacted with, and what she said. Too many of these guests were nothing more than buzzards, circling around her, waiting for the moment she dropped dead.
