The Byzantium Fury, A NHS Fanfic

Into the Imperial Fold

(Warning: War Crimes and Racism)

Kingdom of Sios, Goma, July 2nd 1639

The Kingdom of Sios was a small island nation, no bigger than the island of Cyprus, With a Population of only 500 000, It was a nation with a very bland history. Being formed in 383 By Laurians fleeing persecution, it became a Merchant Kingdom, becoming rich. 

In the 1100s, It became a Constitutional monarchy. If someone from earth saw them, They would assume they were in the Netherlands. Rich, Quiet and Beautiful.

King Sios X looked pale as the Ultimate Julia sat outside his International Waters. It had been less than 2 days since they arrived. The Byzantine Empire and Sios had very little if any trade with themselves. 

Talks of diplomacy were still ongoing, Something which proved very off putting. More so by the Capital Ship of a superpower right there.

The Byzantine Diplomat was very demanding and openly promoted that they should be a Protectorate of them so as to not fall under the pressure of another country. 

King Sios X when he was given the detailed list of what they wanted, including the outlawing of their Political parties which promoted Individualism, he raged at them.

Now there was a Massive Black Ship to scare him and his government into submission. The Kingdom of Sios had no military, only 2 300 Ton Destroyers, 10 Jets and 2000 Soldiers, all of them Royal Guards.

If they decided to pick a fight with a country which had around 1150 times their population, they would lose.

"What in the world are they thinking? We never fought a war or have any value to add to a allaince except money" King Sios X said to himself

He continued to look at the Byzantine Ship, A warship larger than any other ship he had ever seen. He had no other choice but to accept. Since they had asked for himself to come and to personally sign the Protectorate instrument.

As he got into the Car and drove himself to the Dock, something very common as king of the Small island, The people looked scared, who could blame them? He had heard what type of rulers the Byzantine Empire was. 

More so as Empress Julia Bombarded all countries with 'Roman' Cultures with so much propaganda it was shocking and sickening how they used such words to divide the fear in people. Worse with how people actually believed it.

He hoped that since they were akin alike, they might be more peaceful than what they did with Lauria.

As he arrived at the docks, The Byzantine Diplomat, Marius Zeno, A Arrogant man. King Sios X sat down at the table he had prepared, He was flanked as well by the now Infamous Excubitor Guards. All of this made King Sios X very afraid of what was to come next.

"Ah, The New Rex Socius, We have been expecting you" Marius Zeno Gloated "Impressive isn't it? The perfect tool to keep the savages and barbarians in line"

King Sios X was silent before Marius Zeno began listing his demands.

"As for the demands, The Byzantine Empire, Gifted by the heavens, guided and ruled by the serene, omnipotent and Undefeatable Empress Julia, Is merciful to our Brothers, With only 10 demands to enforce Imperial Protection and unity" Marius Zeno explained with arrogance.

"Let us get this over with, i do not expect you to have anything good in store for me" King Sios X said

"Everything with do is for the good of the world, the Byzantine Empire cannot do harm, it would be wise to understand that" A Excubitor guard said

King Sios X felt fear as he looked at the man, his eyes were dead, full of hate, terror, tales of crimes which he dared not to think about.

Marius Zeno continued as if nothing happened.
