Inside the Splenai Residence, Chimpan and Michelle were both sitting on the living room couch while watching ZNN from the television set.

'Look at that news splash, Michelle.'

'What is it?'

'It says that the commodities throughout Zootopia will be decreased by about 5 percent of the actual prices.'

'Really? Now that would be relief to those who might hear it.'

'They would.'

Chimpan took the remote and he changed the channel. Splero then entered in while holding a green folder.

'Heya, guys. Having fun in the channels?'

'Yes, Sire.'

'Of course, Sweetheart.'

The chimpanzee then noticed the green folder that he was holding.

'Sire, what's that green folder?'

'Oh, this? This is a folder containing a diplomatic order from Berala.'

Michelle perked.

'Berala? What kind of place is that?'

'Berala is the vast nation located not far from Splena and Pawraiqua. It was the home of all the bears from around the world, hence the name.'

'Ah! Catchy.'

Chimpan raised his hand.

'What was on the diplomatic order, Splero? Is it confidential?'

'No, Regent. This is a diplomatic order of Berala for a state visit.'

'Wait. You're saying that Berala was going to have a state visit here in Zootopia? I thought the Beralese already made a visit a few months ago.'

'Actually, that visit happened in Pawraiqua. This would be the first time that Berala would have a state visit here in Zootopia.'

'Oh. I see.'

'Yep.'

Splero opened the folder and he took out a memorandum.

'According to the Beralese memorandum here, the Beralese government would send a few envoys to Zootopia for both diplomatic and military negotiations. I already persuaded them that after they arrive at the airport, the meeting would take place here in the Residence.'

'Alright, then. When will they arrive?'

'In about 24 hours, Chimpan.'

The primate stuttered in surprise.

'What?! A-Already?'

'I'm afraid so. The reason why they wanted to have an early visit is because they wanted to have a state visit too in China and Germany. No need to rush in for any last-minute preparations because I already done it for both of you guys.'

Michelle giggled.

'Oh really?'

'Yeah. I guess you two should have some deserved rest. After all, we all trained the cadets in the ZPD all day and night.'

'I suppose so, Your Majesty.'

'Okay.'

Splero returned the memorandum back and he closed the folder.

'I'm going to have some shut eye, guys. I'll wake up in a few hours and prepare for my trip to the airport so that I could receive the Beralese in person.'

Chimpan nodded.

'Sure thing.'

'Also, inform our colonial garrisons to be prepared for the VIP visit. I already informed both Mayor Lionheart and the ZPD about the upcoming state visit.'

'Everything will be in order, Sire. Don't worry.'

'Thank you.'

Splero left the duo and went to the bedroom to get some sleep while both Chimpan and Michelle remained in the living room.

...

Several hours later, both the chimpanzee and the arctic vixen were donning their own regalia. As they suit up, Splero exits out from the bedroom while wearing his iconic World War One era royal uniform.

'Okay, guys. Are we all set to go for the airport?'

Michelle smiled.

'I'm all set!'

'Hang on, guys.'

Splero looked at Chimpan.

'What's wrong?'

'My shoelaces have the wrong lengths.'

'That's because you haven't pulled the other end yet.'

'Really?'

'Yeah. Pull it out a bit.'

Chimpan pulled out the short length of the lace of his boot.

'There! All fixed.'

'Good. Now, then. Follow me. We're going to await the VIPs at Zootopia International Airport.'

Both Michelle and Chimpan followed the Emperor as he exits out to the garage. Outside, a few Keranian and Zootopian escorts in motorcycles were standing by. As they boarded the car, the vixen patted Splero's shoulder.

'My dear?'

'Hmm?'

'Would Nick and Judy be there as well?'

'Of course, milady. They would certainly do. Why did you ask?'

'Just wondering.'

'By the way, about your planned trip with Nick to Tundratown.'

'What about it?'

'I'll let you go on with it.'

'Oh! Thanks.'

'Pleasure.'

Splero buckled on and he started the engine. Michelle and Chimpan promptly did the same thing. Shortly after 7:15 AM, the Splenish royalty and its escorts were now on route to Zootopia International Airport.
