Salón de María
Ministry of Foreign & Colonial Affairs
Hamunaptra, Dawinia


The hour was late as the Foreign & Colonial Minister, Alba Suero, gathers the last of some papers and files, as well as her government tablet, and placed them into her bag. As she latches the front buckle and starts to leave her office, she stops to turn around, forgetting her hat.

She wears a golden, yet not bright, coat dress, hemmed and trimmed with crimson red threading and accents; portraying the colours of the Empire’s flag. She wished to express her important position to those she plans to meet later today.

Grabbing her matching cloche hat, she heads for her office door, again interrupted; her phone started to vibrate. She retrieves it, struggling, from the outside of her purse, which sits on her left arm, as her portfolio briefcase, embossed with the crest of the Dawinian Government, sits on her right.

“Suero,” she answers.

“Sra. Suero, your town car awaits in the front of the building,” replies someone on the other line.

“Great; I’ll be there shortly.”

She ends the call, again struggling to put her phone back into her purse. Finally getting that task done, she opens her door and enters into a hallway, with floors of marble and walls adorned with various paintings of historical events of both Dawinia and the world. Firmly, she closes the door again, not worrying about locking, as it was recently replaced with an biometric auto-lock.

Click click. Click click.

Her heels echo as she makes her way down the hallway, reaching a set of double doors that opens to the main staircase of the Salón de María, the building where the Ministry of Foreign & Colonial Affairs are located. Descending down the steps, the main doors leading to the outside are opened by guards.

She exits the building and enters the awaiting car, moving all of her bags to the side.

“A bit bright for a secret meeting, Sra. Suero,” jokingly questions the driver.

“Huh, now they'll know for sure I'm snooping around,” she exclaims.

They both start to laugh; their witty banter was something of the norm for the two.

“And where am I to take you on this very early morning?”

“Base Aérea Cuatro Puntos, please, and make it snappy.”

“Of course, now sit back and relax; we’ll be there in no time.”

As the car starts to move forward and the partition is raised, Alba deeply sighs.

I hate flying over water,” she thinks, starting to comb her hair with her fingers, as is her nervous habit. She already knows she won’t have a nice flight this morning.

The plane carrying the minister touched down in Medapolis International Airport at 17:00. The President was standing outside the plane as the minister exited.

The cabin door was hoisted open, as the summer weather seemed to slap Alba. As the plane had landed and made its way to the staging area, she had made sure she had everything she needed for this meeting, as well as ensuring that no one knew of this meeting.

Welcome to Medai,” she thinks, referencing the humidity and heat, as she descended the airstairs down to the tarmac; both of her bags in her left arm as she grips the railing with her right hand.

Despite the sun beginning to set, it felt as if it was at its zenith. Reaching the tarmac, she proceeds to her awaiting party; to her surprise waits the Medaian president.

“Mr. President, what a pleasure it is to meet you,” she said smiling, expressing her charm and finesse.

"Nice to meet you too," he said, shaking her hand. "How was your trip?"

"I would say good, but I do despise flying; thank you for asking," she responded.

Alba quickly looked around, gathering her surroundings for a moment.

"I hate to be so brash, but as we both know, time is of the essence. Where shall we conduct this meeting?"

The President had been looking to get on to that topic, and was pleased to see her start it. "Aw yes, follow me." He got into a car and drove to the Presidential Hall. When they got there, the two went inside and walked up a flight of stairs. He then walked through the hallway. He then turned into a room. "Please sit down. Would you like anything to eat or drink?"

Alba nodded in agreement, as the Medai president led her to an awaiting vehicle. The drive to the Presidential Hall was comfortable and enjoyable, as she named sights passing by in her head, something that she usually doesn't get a chance to do.

After arriving, she follows the president into a building of a modern style, accented with classic architecture, finally making there way into meeting room, taking a seat at rounded table.

"A glass of water would be great; I'm quite parched."

"Alright," he said. One of the guards went out of the room. He came back in half a minute later and set a glass and a pitcher of water on the table, and filled the glass.

The President spoke up. "Now, I understand that we are here to talk about the coming war, and try to avoid it?"

"Thank you," said Alba, taking the glass from him.

After taking a few sips, she lightly places the glass on the table.

"Yes, as you are already aware, whatever is agreed upon here carries the weight of the Emperor's word, as if spoken by himself."

She changes her sitting style, crossing her legs at her ankles and angling them on the floor.

"War is expensive and exhausting for an economy and people; the labour market tends to react to war. I, we, want to avoid another."

"So do we. What are the terms you're wanting?" He asked, becoming more tense as they started talking about the topic at hand.

Alba takes a few moments to think, then remembering her portfolio briefcase she had brought. She lays it on the table, unlatching and pulling out a binder folder. She opens it and starts to read through the documents and self-made notes.

"Well, we want more cooperation between our governments," she responds, not looking up from the papers.

Flipping through some more, she speaks again.

"I do want to make the point that we also wish to help bolster your nation's defences."

The President, seeing an opportunity, quickly pounced. "More cooperation could mean anything from vassalage to discussing relations. What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I mean, more cooperation. We believe a strong alliance between our nations would suffice. Emperor Antonio has conceded he has erred and sees the flaws and implications his, pardon my language, as this is a direct quote, 'stupid mistakes' have caused."

Alba flips to another page, then placing the folder down on the table.

"Having Medai become a Dawinian vassal is a lose-lose for both of us; we would gain infamy for 'aggressively expanding' and Medai would just become another target for war, as some nations would be inclined to 'liberate' you for their own gains."

"I'm not sure the type of alliance you're looking for is possible. Although I appreciate that you haven't just invaded, this event hasn't happened helped relations. Although we wish to have friendly relations with you, it'll take a while to recover from this, and it may not happen while Antonio is still emperor."

"Huh," she replied, starting to go through the papers again; this time making new notes.

"Ellos trataron de decirme," she said under her breath, barely audible.

"A simple alliance is the only thing we would want from the conclusion of this meeting. So tell me then, what does Medai want from Dawinia, if anything? Intelligence? Technology?"

She stops flipping, arriving at a map of North and Central Gilead.

"Hm, it must be stressful to have such a, um, impeding nation to your north, Mr. President."
