Chap XIII - Problems Within the Empire

--------------------------------------
29 January 1943
29 Equraius 1639

Empire of Parpaldia
City of Esthirant

First Foreign Department Building

In the span of one day, Director Elto gathered all available information about the new rising power, the United Nations.

The United Nations is a multinational organization encompassing all countries within the lands known as Earthlands. Elto found out that this organization had intervened in the war in Rondenius last year and began to extend their influence outside of Rondenius.

The lack of merchants from Rondenius gives her much less information than the extensive information about the United Nations. Much to her luck, she was able to gather enough information from other merchants that have been to Rondenius and the special agents she employs to investigate the United Nations.

The failed punitive attack of the 5th Imperial Oversight Forces on Fenn might have been an intervention by the United Nations. During the military festival in Fenn almost half a month ago, some merchants witnessed the military festival and the defeat of the 5th Oversight Forces.

A few of those merchants have visited Esthirant and told the stories of their experiences with the Fennese military festival incident. Large warships of untold size dwarfed all other ships and defeated the 5th Oversight Forces' wyvern lords and the fleet like it was nothing. The stories become rumors and spread like wildfire.

Elto verifies the story of those merchants by comparing it with Oversight Admiral Poquetoire's report. The stories of those merchants and Admiral Poquetoire's report are indeed the same, with some exaggeration within the merchants' story.

By now, Elto had caught wind of news about the United Nations diplomatic group in Esthirant. The diplomatic group has asked audiences to meet with the high officials of the Third Foreign Department multiple times. But, due to many circumstances, those meetings are either halted for another day or cancelled on some occasion. The group itself has waited for a month and is now nearly reaching for two months, and if her agent is right, the diplomatic group is growing impatient over time.

Elto began to be concerned with the state of the Third Foreign Department, especially Kaios. The First Foreign Director wanted to intervene on that matter, but Kaios has told her personally to stay away and let him handle it. Elto trusted Kaios; she has no doubt to question it.

If it were not for Kaios, the Third Foreign Department might have provoked the United Nations.

The lack of information about the United Nations on country member, population, possessions, and military levels is largely unknown. Elto's only reliance is on her agents; he hoped they would be able to obtain and collect that vital information.

Elto's concerns are largely on the matter of the United Nations, adding to the matter of this "Eighth Empire." Elto believed that the United Nations could not be underestimated. The Empire should be aware that the United Nations is not simply a barbarian-level threat but a civilized-, even superpower-level threat.

Regardless, she has another matter to handle today. The Emperor has summoned the cabinet and the Royal Court to an assembly within the palace.

This is the first time ever since His Imperial Majesty's long rest began that the Joint Assembly of the Cabinet and the Royal Court are called.
