Papaldia Empire, imperial capital Esthirant, Remille’s mansion

“U-Ugh! No! Stop! Stooooop!!!”

Remille woke up. She was in her room, her breathing ragged, her entire body covered in sweat. After that meeting with Mu’s ambassador, she had seen the same nightmare countless times, the one where The Union’s army ran roughshod all over the empire. They had the faces of the Vespechan people she had executed, the ones who had died by her order in the Kingdom of Fenn.

“Tch!”

Remille collapsed into her bed again, lying face down. She had really screwed this one up. She thought it was for the sake of the empire, so she had put everything into her work and pushed forward rashly. However, the result of that was… the empire’s survival, barely hanging on by a thread.

Based on what Mu’s ambassador said:

The Union was far stronger than Mu.

They may even surpass the Holy Mirishial Empire.

There was a possibility that the imperial capital could be completely destroyed.

She couldn’t believe it! No matter what, she just couldn’t believe any of it. But since they had already suffered devastating losses twice to The Union, it… was probably true. Combat aircraft that could surpass the speed of even the wyvern overlords almost sounded like something from the ancient sorcerous empire… If they had equipment comparable to that mythical country, then, realistically, Papaldia had no chance of victory. Remille thought hard about a possible way to avoid battle, muttering to herself.

“We could gift them land, or divide up territory with them… does The Union want anything? Ah!!!”

With a start, Remille remembered what Ambassador Yuriy had said: Regarding the massacre in the Kingdom of Fenn, we request the extradition of criminal offenders and any related persons. You yourself are naturally included in the list, and the emperor is also an important witness, so please turn yourselves in!

“That can’t happen… it won’t happen! It absolutely will never happen!!!”

She herself was an imperial noble. Not only that, she was a noble from one of the world’s five superpowers, and she would someday marry Emperor Ludius and become empress; they were going to conquer the world, and she would be its queen! How could she give that up just to appease some barbarians outside the civilized areas for killing a few hundred of their people!!!

“I will not allow myself to be captured by The Union!!!”

Remille was determined to struggle until the very end.

Papaldia Empire, imperial capital Esthirant, 3rd Foreign Affairs Department Head Kyeos’s mansion

The 1st foreign affairs department and Remille were acting oddly. This strange behavior started after the meeting with Mu’s ambassador, during which they were probably given information about The Union’s actual power. Common sense dictated the obvious course of action, but considering that there were no large commotions around the 1st foreign affairs department, it appeared that Emperor Ludius and Remille were not planning to allow themselves to be extradited to Vespecha as war criminals.
