Trouble

May 23rd, 1925

At the moment Tanya was proud of herself, since, she was with Meiyo, queen Mirellia, and Melty together in one room to talk about an alliance. It was the best thing for her now, the blonde's superiors, for now, would congratulate her and the conquest of the Baharuth Empire would be easier and, also, many wars could be solved. Though in this place they seemed to drink more tea than coffee, at least the blonde Major had the choice between sugar and no sugar.

"I won't beat around the bush, I'll introduce myself, my true name and identity is Princess Tanya Degurechaff Pecata El Nix" said the blonde as she sipped her tea "Though, I am registered in the military with my first two names and the false rank of major."

"You're his daughter?" asked Melty surprised "I thought he didn't have children!"

"Yes, I am the daughter of the emperor, we confirmed it recently with the aid of the sorcerer kingdom"

"My name is Meiyo Ooal Gown from the sorcerer kingdom Nazarick" Melty and the queen were in shock. Tanya would've been the same when she found out, but the blonde had been busy at the time "We wished to form an alliance with Melomarc"

"We have heard about Nazarick, the nation of non-humans," said Mirellia, "We want to maintain good relations with them, and I would like to believe that is also your goal?"

"That is right, but..."

"We also came to ask for your help," said Tanya. "We need your aid so I can take over the Crown. My father has gotten reckless and he seems to be willing to sacrifice his nation to the point he even has child soldiers. This must be stopped, just as the continuous wars."

"I concur" answered Mirellia with a nod. "He tried using Malty to gain power over this kingdom. Yet, that was next to impossible since we are established under a matriarchy."

"Well then, you have my word that when I claim the crown we will not initiate a war unless you attack first" her words sounded more like a threat than a requirement. "And there will also be trading of goods, as we will give you as much support as you give us in"

"Does 20% trading tax sound agreeable?" asked the queen. "Melty shall be the one in charge of the relations as a minister before her coronation"

"Acceptable" answered Tanya. "Any future arrangements will be discussed as time goes on"

"I promise the same thing" added Meiyo. "For now, just use our pseudonyms to avoid problems. After all, some identities are still"

"Of course," said Melty smiling.

"We must leave soon"

"Why don't you stay to the banquet?" offered Melty. "Tree will be delicious food! It would also be a nice way for us to say goodbye ..."

"I don't see why not"

The banquet wasn't the first thing they did. No, it was a trial, and they were witnesses. Tanya just observed everyone carefully and calmly. She hadn't been to a trial before, she could only wonder what it was like in this world, or country, in particular. She had seen some in television and books in her first life, but being the fact this was another dimension, it could be very different from those inaccurate shows and games. Even Fitoria was here, standing right next to the queen and Princess Melty. Why was she even there? Honestly, Tanya had no idea, she supposed maybe Fitoria came to give advice or something. Even her outfit was different, there was nothing military-like, her outfit was dark magenta, and white, and the blonde believed it was gothic Lolita, but fashion was not one of her strong suits, so she wasn't sure if that was the right denomination. Fitoria also had White boots made of silk, which in a way also looked like socks.
