The doors creaked open as Sylvia looked over. Her eyes grew wide as she noticed who it was. "What are you doing here?" she ordered. In front of her was none other than Yokai, the man she had danced with at her coronation. "Well, your Imperial highness, I thought I'd stop by and see why you were so anxious." Although she appreciated his gesture, she felt as if it was almost invasive for him to come at a time like this. Sylvia ordered her guards to take him out of the room, as the Invasion plan could not be revealed or it would potentially end in total failure. "You are not allowed in this area of the palace, my guards will escort you back to the ballroom." she had spoken in a stern manner, she was not going to let one foolish man destroy her plan and bring down the Sundarian Empire that has stood for over 500 years.
Yokai did not like being ordered around like a nobody, not even by his Empress. He growled softly as the guards pulled him away and down the large halls of the imperial palace leaving Sylvia and her generals alone in the war room.

"Your Imperial Majesty, Where are you going?" The Supreme Commander asked his Empress. She stopped and looked back at the guards standing there looking at her. "I have a party I need to return too, now.. GO AND STOP STANDING THERE LIKE IDIOTS", she yelled and walked away slamming the large wooden doors. The generals in the room all exchanged looks, they knew they couldn't return unless they had a successful siege on Cordonia and Azeroth and brought it under Imperial Sundarian Rule, expanding their already vast borders by thousands of miles and bringing House Renaldi an even larger fortune than that they already have. As Sylvia walked down the halls she smiled softly to herself. "I will go down in history as the most powerful empress that ever walked this earth" she whispered to herself
