This story takes place in a fantasy world where demons, humans, and faunus (humans with animal qualities) fight for survival. A world where the rifle is shunned in favour for the sword and sheild.
The Visean kingdom has recently defeated the Demon...
"Has it really come to this?" Wilhelm asked desperately, his hands were on his face as Lorrin sadly told Wilhelm the bad news.
"I'm really sorry, your majesty, I truly wish it had not come to this." Lorrin said, almost ashamed of what she had been ordered to do. "Persia has declared war from twelve o'clock today."
Serina and Ida and the Imperial guards stood in shock.
"I will close my embassy and leave immediately." Lorrin solemnly.
"Safe travels." Wilhelm mumbled. Lorrin bowed and left the study. Wilhelm stood up and looked out the window behind him, wallowing in the terrible future that was to come. Wilhelm sensed Ida and Serina staring holes into his back. "Could you all leave me alone for a bit?" Wilhelm asked without facing them. Ida and Serina nodded to each other and ushered thr guards out of the room and closed the doors. Wilhelm's took a deep breath and opened the window. He smelt the cool air from the garden which the window overlooked. It was autumn so the swans had flown away from the pond to spend the cooler months somewhere warmer.
However in their place a couple of Great Grey owls were scouring the garden looking for twigs and sticks.

Wilhelm spotted their rugged nest in the branches, still incomplete. Then Wilhelm noticed Helmine scatter some seeds on the ground around her. The owls gobbled them up in quick succession. Wilhelm's cat, Marta then jumped up on the windowsill. Wilhelm smiled and stroked the cat who purred as a result, the iron cross around her neck swinging from side to side as she strutted around.
Wilhelm then noticed alot of mumbling coming from his door.
"The Kaiser said he did not wish to be disturbed." Wilhelm heard serina say.
"Persia has declared war, we need to discuss plans for a war footing." Aires then said.
"I must speak with Wilhelm as he needs to make a speech to the nation announcing the new war." The Imperial Chancellor, said. By that point Wilhelm had enough of the bickering and opened the door. Everyone stopped as the guards saluted.
"You may all enter." Wilhelm said and walked back to his desk and sat down. In front of Wilhelm stood General Aires, Grossadmiral Karla Strasser, Air Marshall Conradine Wser, Felix Hauptmann, Princess Teila Albrecht and the Spartan Ambassador. "Aires, you first."
"Your majesty, as you are the supreme commander of our armed forces, we and the OKW need your permission to deploy our troops to the Siegfried line in order to defend and plan out a campaign for the Perserkreig.
"Very well, send out telegrams and orders to your officers. I need your troops up there as soon as possible. Colonel Paulus will be in need of reinforcements." Wilhelm ordered. "Karla have our submarines notified that Persian ships are to be considered hostile. Commence patrols to cut Persia's trade routes."
"Jawohl mein Kaiser." Karla confirmed.
"Air Marshall, see if you can scramble some of your planes over to the border." Wilhelm suggested.
