Emperor’s Personal Office
El Palacio Imperial de Hamunaptra (The Imperial Palace of Hamunaptra)
Hamunaptra


“Fuck,” yells HICM Emperor Charles I, as he threw his nearly full glass at a map of Victorium.

The glass shatters against the mounted map, spilling the contents, whisky at 8 in the morning, against the wall. Charles retakes his seat and places his hands on his head, sighing. A young aide then harshly interrupted his moment of peace.

“ Your Majesty,” she rushes in, immediately followed by two guards. “Are you okay?!”

Charles just responds, placing his hand in the air.

“Yes yes, everything is fine. Just...just summon Rodolfo, immediately. It’s of extreme importance,” responded Charles.

“Right away, Your Majesty,” she responded, walking backwards while bowing, closing the door as she and the guards exited.

The rapid click of the aide’s heels echoed from the outside of the office door, decreasing in volume, as they got farther. Charles swivels his chair around to face the manicured grounds of the palace. He’s stressed, even more so than usual. He feels as though he may explode; the Victorium “Liberation” wars were supposed to go off quite easily, without a lot of pushback, but it’s heading away from where it is “supposed” to be. His youngest son, Rodolfo, isn't fulfilling his roles of Crown Minister and BPE Director. Charles then snaps out of his thoughts, pondering on the vibrant flora spring has bestowed on the land.

Knock knock.

Rodolfo enters, quickly closing the door behind him. He quickly makes his way to the seat in front of the desk, clearing his throat once he was situated.

“Well, what is it,” said Rodolfo, with clear annoyance in his tone of voice.

Charles swivels back around, looking directly at Rodolfo.

“We’re going to lose,” started Charles,” We are going. To lose.”

Rodolfo begins to feel a twinge of uneasiness as he heard his father’s words.

“Lose what? Trust? The populace? What?”

“Everything, Rodolfo. Don’t you see? Sure, we’re doing great now, but tensions are rising; nations are being pushed by their ill-minded people. And they will react.”

Rodolfo stays silent.

“In Noverra, only three nations fight alongside each other, to further our grand, perhaps very ambitious and out-of-reality, plan; Austiana, Meluha, and us. We not only have to worry about the western nations over the water, but the eastern menace as well. The one that stands as a threat to the whole continent.”

“But, they’re all talk,” Rodolfo finally said, “They’ll, of course, react to the rhetoric of their respective people. They’ll speak with their big threats; their big-gun and bully diplomacy. And as-“

“Have you not been paying attention, Rodolfo?!” snapped Charles, slamming his fists onto the desk. “Our people are loosing faith and trust in me! Verskana is retaliating with force! Do you know what that is, huh? Or did we forget to use our fucking heads today?”

Rodolfo falls silent again, knowing when to stay quite during one of his father’s many tirades.

“They will take our colonial possession in the Korvetic Sea. They took Southern Crownland from Kilnk. We have a target on our backs. And the assassins are coming from both sides of the world.”

“But, we knew this would happen! We prepared! We have a strong and secure pact! There’s nothing to fear!”

Charles falls to a calm, and almost eerie quite, hearing Rodolfo’s response. The mood in the room turned; it was like the eye of the hurricane arrived, the quite before the storm.

“We cannot fight the whole world at the same time, dear child. Numerically, the numbers are not in our favour.”

Yet another time, Rodolfo remains silent. Charles leans back in his chair, thinking over the whole “war.”

“We have to remove someone from the equation,” stated Rodolfo.

“Now you’re getting it. And who would be the most viable, and most immediate threat to quell?”

“Um...Verskana?”

“Exactly. Now, you were called here for more than getting yelled at. Let’s be frank, you’re doing absolutely nothing. I gave you the Crown Ministry, and yet, no progress on the Red Plan so far.”

“There are many pieces to this plan and time is needed. But progress is being made, day-by-day. We’ll get there fast, don’t worry.”

“I worry because it is time that we don’t have a lot of.” Charles sighs, before beginning again. “I want you to start it, tomorrow. No later, understood?”

“Yes, understood,” replied Rodolfo, even though things were still in the prep. Stages back at the Crown Ministry.

“Good. Now go, I have a letter to write. And do not disappointment me again. If you do, well, let’s just say being human is quite a privilege,” sternly stated Charles, smiling.

Rodolfo just nods, scurrying out of the room, not wanting to say anything more.

Boris was sitting in his office, as he normally did everyday. It was a normal, nothing out of the ordinary day, and Boris hated it.

So boring, he thought. When the Communist Party's leadership offered to make him the country's head of state, the Premier, he was ecstatic. He could only dream of what luxuries came with the job.

Beautiful women, drugs, money, he had thought.

Only after he began did he realize how wrong he had been. Even though he was the head of state of the second most powerful country in the world, he had very little (if any) real power. He was mainly a figurehead whose main purpose was to represent the "will of the people" in the public sphere.

The General-Secretary, Adrik Ivanov, still held all the real power, and decisions were made by him almost exclusively. Unbeknownst to him, Adrik had him appointed premier because he saw him as weak. He found the man (Boris) to be too timid and content to be a real threat to his power, so he gave him a powerless, yet important position (the premier had almost unlimited access to the General-Secretary, so it was necessary for him to be either weak or completely trustworthy--however, the latter didn't exist in Verskana).

Just as Boris was about to fall asleep from boredom (again), he was startled by the Foreign Minister bringing a message addressed to him--from Dawinia.

What could Dawinia want with us, he thought. Messages were often addressed to Boris, because the rest of the world was convinced that the Premier was a (somewhat) respectable position.

"Never say propaganda doesn't work," Boris would always say to himself.

But regardless of the world's perception, Boris very rarely got the messages, as they were all intercepted, and read, by the Communist Party Central Committee (or Politburo) (which included Adrik Ivanov amongst its membership). Boris was nominally a member of the Committee, but he was rarely allowed to attend meetings (and though he's not the first premier it's ever happened to, it's definitely been most frequent with him).

The Politburo would always screen messages with foreign diplomats and decide how to proceed. The only time Boris was actually allowed to see them was when the Politburo dictated that he needed to know (which was rare indeed)--and that they actually wanted to reply. Boris assumed that he was allowed to see this one because it was intended as a personal communique between the Dawinian emperor and Boris, himself.

Poor fellow, he thought, so fooled. Just like the rest of the world.

After he finished reading the letter's contents, he set out to write his reply (which would be re-screened and edited by the Politburo, naturally) :
