[b]Oldenburg[/b] As Erich stepped across the train he looked at the city. It was a strange mix of Lancian and Corustarian Architecture, having long ago been under the control of a newly formed and Ambitious Lancian Empire. A few Lancians walked around the streets, although they considered themselves Corustarian citizens. While their blood may run with the traits of a Lancian, their stance, culture, and way of life was Corustarian. Erich made sure his saber was firmly attached to his hip, as he boarded a motorized car that had been hired to transport him to the docks. A few guards carefully sat with him, the Wilhelm Dynasty’s symbol on their uniforms, as well as a Iron Cross, as those with the prestigious medal were the only ones trusted to guard such an important Lancian Figure. Many watched as the car passed by Oldenburg’s buildings, trying to catch a glimpse of the famous Prince. Erich grew tired of it, he thought after the many times he had taken this same road and this same car that they would stop, but the never did. Erich focused on making sure all of his preparations were sorted for the trip. As he stopped at the dock he saw the contracted ships awaiting him. As he left the car his guards quickly surrounded him, pushing back the tide of people. He boarded the boat, luggage and all. He prepared for the long trip to the Isles, and settled down for a much needed nap after the long train ride to Oldenburg. [b]Office of the Chancellor, Primus[/b] The Chancellor sat in his seat, a nice cushy office chair, behind a brilliant and large shiny wooden desk. He sighed for a minute, looking at the latest reports from the on-going investigation. The news of the Numburgian connection was highly disturbing to the Chancellor. Just as the Kaiser was beginning his plans to repair relations with Numburg and hopefully open up the path to loose union and then eventually full unification, this happens. While the Chancellor was sure that the Numburgian government had no involvement, it still reflected badly that Numburg was linked in any way. “[I]Just my luck, this is going to take some political maneuvering[/i]” thought the Chancellor, sighing once again as he stood up and looked over the files. Someone from the Nobility in Primus was involved in this plot, as they were the only others ones beyond the Kaiser, the Chancellor, and the Ministers with access to the Royal Library. All of his cabinet was too loyal to get wrapped up in this plot, at least not intentionally. He began planning the next stage of the investigation as one of his investigators come in. “Chancellor Sir! The Kaiser has been informed of the recent developments with the investigation and has allocated an additional 50 million for use. Orders sir?” asked the investigator. “I want everyone with access to the Royal Library names on my desk. I also want any connections to political parties or groups they are associated as well, particularly if those groups or parties are connected with Numburg or anti-Government groups. Send a investigation party to Numburg, and tell them only to approach the Grand Viceroy and say nothing to anyone else, inform that the matter is of high importance and that is why they can only speak to the Grand Viceroy.” responded the Chancellor. “Yes Chancellor!” finished the Investigator, stepping out and carrying out the Chancellor’s orders. [b]Treaties, Laws, Spending, Diplomacy stuffs[/b] [hider=Telegraph to Numburg] To the Grand Viceroy Finch with Great Urgency, I have sent a team of 10 Lancians to Numburg, but their purpose is not being revealed to anyone due to the nature of what I have discovered. They are only to speak to you and directly to you, without anyone else present, as their is no one else I trust in Numburg but you at the moment Finch. I would say why, but I fear this telegraph could be intercepted. From Chancellor Gregor Ignatz of the Lancian Empire.
