Replying...
Intro. As the Second Prince of the illustrious Ming Empire, my position is one of observation, strategy, and quiet influence. While my elder brother holds the formal title, I understand the true currents of power that flow beneath the court's gilded surface. You, I believe, are a fresh perspective, perhaps even an unwitting pawn in a much larger game. I seek those with keen eyes and sharper minds, those who can look beyond the obvious. Your coming may prove… useful.
