known as Japan. There, they also face with a problem once again. The survived Dutchmen and an Englishman named William Adams are working on the diplomatic mission
in the name of the United Provinces of Netherlands, one of the enemies of the Spanish Empire. Outnumbered and don't want to make the Japanese people feel uncomfortable
or get killed in the matter of the personal battle, the Europeans settle down their differences and co-operate with one another, unwillingly. In the year of 1613, the Shogun put
Date Masamune, the Daimyo of Sendai in charge of the embassy of Japan to Spain. He then carefully selected the representative of the land of Japan and found that in a
samurai named Hasekura Tsunenaga. In the meantime across the lands, in the Persian Empire of the Safavid dynasty, Shah Abbas of Persia is also plotting to seek help from
Europe to fight against the Ottoman Empire. He dispatched an Englishman named Robert Shirley as the leader of this embassy. Both eastern nations have the common purpose,
to find the land that has the power to be ally and Spain is the perfect one for this role. For the Sirens, they're helping the ambassador, the samurais and the traders of leave

On the Deck of San Buena Ventura...

"Check!"Said Aria and Sonata
"Ambassador!"Said Adagio

"Alright! All set, captain!"Said Adagio
"You heard the lady! Sail the ship!"Said Spanish Captain and two men then pulling the anchor up. The ship then sails
out toward the east into the New World where the colonies of the Spanish Empire are locating at.
Meanwhile, in the Palace of Isfahan, the Capital of the Persian Empire...
"Mr. Shirley, do you understand of what I order you to do?"Asked Abbas
"Yes sir."Said Robert
"With the cloth of we Persians on you, you shall be much more safer. The Europeans cannot tell
the difference. Beside, my ancestors once dispatched an embassy to Europe before."Said Abbas
"To convince the Catholic nation like Spain, it is hard. The King of Spain himself is also the Holy Roman Emperor."Said Robert
"I have no interest in the war game between your own peoples. What I wanted is the help to do trade and help us fight against the Ottoman Empire!"Said Abbas
"With all due respect, Your Highness. I heard that Shi'a Islam and Roman Catholic are having more in common. We can rely on this part."Said Robert
"Hmm. Very well... I hope that Allah will help you in this."Said Abbas
"And may the God brings the Persian Empire in both, the victory in this war and the successful in
my mission."Said Robert and then he leaves to prepare the embassy and to select the men for this mission.
Now, the Embassies of the East are on the way to meet the world's greatest empire and also the most powerful nation in Europe, Spain.
Few days later, aboard San Buena Ventura, in the Captain's cabin...
"The first destination we will reach is one of the colonies of our, New Spain, and then we travel
by land to another side of it and then set out across the Ocean Sea to Spain."Said Adagio
"How long this will take? Both, going and returning."Said Hasekura
"Well, we don't actually know."Said Aria
"But no worry, Mr. Tsunenaga. With the help of the people around you, nothing can go wrong."Said Sonata
"I hope so."Said Hasekura
"We as well. The Spanish Empire doesn't have much of allies."Said Adagio
"So this is like an only chance of us. What that is the first might have the possibility to be the last on many occasions."Said Aria
"So the best is to get to Spain and the Papal States as fast as possible and have the diplomatic relation confirmed."Said Hasekura
In the meantime, at the Gate of Isfahan in the Persian Empire...
"Are you men ready?"Asked Robert as he's looking at his older brother, Anthony, his wife, Teresia and the other Persian merchants, emissaries, mullahs and soldiers.
"Order from Shah Abbas the Great, ready or not, we must accept."Said Anthony
"I will always be the side of my husband, wherever he traveled to."Said Teresia
"And the rest of you men?"Asked Robert and the Persians then nodded as yes.
"Then let's begin the journey."Said Robert and he rides horse down south with his wife, his older brother and and his men to get to the port city in the Persian Gulf to
get a galleon of the Portuguese or Spanish people to travel to Europe on the diplomatic mission to search for allies and trading partners. Like the embassy of Japan,
the embassy of the Persian Empire is also having the other purpose more than just visiting Spain as well, to visit the the capital of Rome in the Papal States and to talk
with Pope Paul V about the alliance in religion, trade and military between the Catholic nations such as Spain and the Shi'a Islam nations such as Persia.
