I think kneeling in front of king is a sign of respect to the king, even if he isn't your king as it is considered a good manner. Like I don't know much but in my country emissary bowed before king and in return the king has to treat them well even of they were enemyQuite interesting Remilia is kneeling before the king of demons. He's not her king, she's not his subject. I guess it's like this because this is a series from East Asia. I recall reading a long time ago that Chinese imperial court officials sometimes negotiated for weeks to get Western emissaries to somehow kneel before the Emperor of China. Obviously the emissaries would have only wanted to ever kneel before their own monarchs, or if from the USA, before nobody (maybe only God).
It's precisely a show of respect, but if you kneel before both a foreign king and your own, it means you show the foreign ruler as much respect as to your own. In other countries foreign emissaries weren't expected to kneel in front of the monarch, unless it was an emissary from a subjugated nation, so naturally emissaries from these countries wouldn't want to do it out there. So, if a Chinese emissary happened to visit Europe, originally no kneeling was expected. Maybe it was exceptionally demanded after emissaries from Europe gave up in China, if things didn't proceed otherwise at all.I think kneeling in front of king is a sign of respect to the king, even if he isn't your king as it is considered a good manner.

It probably is what you'd get if you grabbed long hair with one hand and used your other hand to just pull your sword through it. "Good enough"Did this girl cut her own hair with a sword or something, then stop halfway and decide she couldn't be bothered any more? It is an absolute fucking mess. A travesty. I don't think I've ever seen as bad a haircut as that in my life.
The TLDR to that isn't out of loyalty or anything, the British Emissary just thought that the Chinese are dumb barbarians and vice versa with the Chinese Court thinking that about the British - since they showed up with gifts completely unbefitting the court - knick knacks that impressed like, African Tribes but not the people who had literally invented fireworks and stuff.Quite interesting Remilia is kneeling before the king of demons.
