"Let's host a ball of diplomacy"

A man with charm is a very dangerous thing.

The council consisted of 5 members, well now 6 including me. They were Sir Sam, Madam Puffy, Sir Antfrost, Sir Badboyhalo, and Sir Skeppy. Out of all of them, Puffy had been the most welcoming immediately giving me a big hug and telling me all about life here. Bad was also quite kind. He showed me around the council's private mansion where all the members lived along with any foreign delegations visiting. It was also used for private meetings and events with other countries.

The mansion had a large ballroom and dining room that came in handy for balls and parties. It also had a rooftop pool, gardens, library, and many other cool places to explore at a later date.

When Sam had announced the news of me joining the council all the members had been fine and actually excited except for Skeppy. He argued that I didn't deserve the position which I could understand. However, I knew Dream and he was going to go to war very soon and the only way to stop that was to get a political position.

I knew I had to win Skeppy over so I made it a point to show my appreciation and loyalty to the Badlands by telling them all the awful things Dream did to me. This gained their trust and even got me some pity points.

As much as I didn't want to share my trauma I felt slightly better getting it off my chest. At least now some people knew what lengths he'd go to to get what he wanted.

Currently, I was sitting in my room reading through old trade history between countries. It was surprisingly interesting and was pretty invested until a knock came at my door and a maid called out my name.

"Sir Sam has requested an emergency meeting in the council room." She said.

That was odd. I had only been here for a couple of weeks but I got the feeling that Sam didn't call emergency meetings often.

I quickly pulled on a beige blouse and dress pants. I also pulled up my hair into a ponytail so it wouldn't get in the way. Lastly, I grabbed my bag filled with all the important documents we were working on.

I hoped I wasn't late. Sam hated it when people weren't on time.

Thankfully he had just sat down by the time I arrived. We all silently unpacked our things and sat down to begin.

I was surprised to see Sam looking very disheveled. He looked like he'd aged 6 years.

I guess this didn't happen often because both Puffy and Antfrost looked at Sam concerningly. Skeppy and Bad also looked stressed.

"I just got the news that Dream has declared war on L'manburg," Sam announced.

I inhaled sharply. We all knew it would happen but not this soon.

"And L'manburg has requested our help." He continued.

"We should just refuse," Skeppy said.

"I would agree except we just accepted a trade treaty with them. Without them, our country will suffer a great loss in redstone and lumber."

"It's a loss we'll have to take." Skeppy put his foot down.

"Dream won't stop there." I stepped in.

"He doesn't want just L'manburg. Who do you think he'll go after next? Not the Galadreilic Empire."

This seemed to silence everyone.
