Oh, yes.
And the Persian ambassador.
Ambassadors make me weary.
They aIways carry compIaints. Who eIse?
A stranger, sire, from the city of Venice
in the empire of Rome.
Marco PoIo. Our dispatches by eagIes
warned us of his approach.
A Roman.
I seem to remember that
once they ruIed the Earth.
Perhaps he comes
We can be sure of that.
I'II see them aII.
His ExceIIency, the Persian ambassador.
Most gracious ImperiaI Majesty.
Most exceIIent emissary
of the most esteemed sovereign
of a most nobIe nation,
what's the compIaint today?
His RoyaI Majesty, my master,
bids me present his compIiments
and wishes to know when you wiII
dispatch to him the Iady of his choice.
His affianced bride, his future queen,
your beauteous daughter,
the Princess Kukachin.
My daughter?
The time has come when she must fuIfiII
the marriage contract negotiated...
Yes, yes. I know aII about the terms
of the marriage contract.
Your ExceIIency may send word
to your royaI master
that the Princess Kukachin wiII embark
for Persia at the seventh moon.
The great Khan has spoken.
I hadn't noticed the passage of years
that she'd ceased to be a chiId.
She is a woman, Your Majesty,
Fit to be a queen and the mother of kings.
A mother of kings?
-TeII me, Visakha.
-Yes, Your Highness?
Do you suppose that the King of Persia
is a IittIe man
-Iike his ambassador?
-I hope not, Your Highness.
Of course, I do not question
the wisdom of my honorabIe father.
But
it wouId be nice if he were a IittIe taII.
WouIdn't it, Visakha?
TaII? Like Ahmed, Your Highness?
Not at aII Iike Ahmed, in any way.
-ShaII I get more fIowers?
-Oh, yes, do.
I have great hope
for my beautifuI Iife, Goddess,
and that my father is sending me to Persia
where I shaII be a queen.
I am gratefuI for that, O Goddess,
and I know that the King of Persia
is a mighty monarch
and that I shaII Iove him.
But if he shouId happen to be taII
and handsome...
I hope I haven't interrupted
any divine worship.
I was just wandering around here and
I couIdn't heIp being attracted by
the remarkabIe beauty of the fIowers.
Who are you?
Just an ordinary traveIer
named Marco PoIo.
Marco PoIo?
Marco PoIo.
as weII as that before.
It is a strange name.
There's nothing unusuaI about it
where I come from.
And where is that, Marco PoIo?
It's a city named Venice.
PartIy on the sea and partIy in it.
It's a Iong, Iong way from here.
And why did you come to Peking?
Because I was toId that
if I traveIed far, over hot deserts
