At five in the afternoon, at the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Imperial Capital.
This courtyard, located to the west of the Imperial Palace and separated from the Grand Assembly Hall of the Legislative and Consultative Chambers by a river, occupies less than five thousand square meters. It is the official residence of the Imperial Cabinet Chief.
The courtyard is not large. The garden occupies more than half of it, not filled with any rare or exotic flowers but with dozens of towering pines and cypresses. Beneath their dense canopies are several scattered bungalows.
Those who have never been here might mistake it for the garden of a wealthy household.
However, no one would dare deny that the person who lives here is the most powerful in the world.
