1931 Location Unknown The sound of guns shooting far away could be heard in the streets of a city with dozens of bodies spread across the streets of a city, more than half of the dead bodies spread in the streets are from elves and with ashes falling from the skies the elf standing in the field looked up and said “This is how far we went?” watching the ashes falling from the sky he then began to hear a loud noise of a train and words saying “Sir sir are you awake?” [url=https://i.ibb.co/9TcMKmG/AAngcuI.jpg]Imperial Capital[/url] 1937 He then raised from his bed in a train looking to his right seeing a man in a suit he said “Ah… what is it, we arrived?” the man smiled and bowed in respect saying “Yes Mr Pablo we arrived in the Capital” Pablo straighten his suit and hair raised from his bed and said “Is good to be back at Castello” he picked his overcoat and left the train saying to the man “Take my things and put them in my house understood” The man bowed and said “Yes sir... Also, my lord, your car is waiting down stairs” Pablo would smile saying “Good” and exited the train in the early hours of the night he could see the lights of Castello the sun not more shined on the silver eagle that sited on top of the Grand Palace of the white rose that stood above all the city biggest building standing in 330 meters in height Pablo walked through the station that was emptied due to the presence of a council member as he walked down the stairs he saw one S.I.A soldier with a shield insignia made of metal attached to his uniform and a normal soldier that was utilizing a police uniform but was using in his arm a Bandana with red flower both men seeing him saluted he then hailed back the two men escorted him to his car. As he got near his car he saw S.I.A and M.P soldiers blocking the road with people on the other side of then his driver opened the backdoor of the car Pablo get inside the car the driver then closed the door and goes around the car and when he entered and closed the door he said “Is good to see you again sir” Pablo smiled and said “Missed me, Igor?” the driver smiled and said “A little bit sir” he then began to drive to drive towards the palace with M.P escort as he passed through the city looking into the buildings seeing the Imperial flag displayed almost in every building as the car slowed down for a little time due to traffic he looked to his left seeing a government propaganda billboard with Bjergavjern and Helareu charging against Oswaria Pablo looking at that was breathed in and out with a taste of disgust Igor noticing that said “Something wrong sir” Pablo looking at Igor through the rearview mirror said “There is no honor in propaganda, made to criminalize the innocent” Igor looked to the left and saw the billboard before it disappeared he then said “Well it's normal to find propaganda degrading the fascists” Pablo nodded and said “The Volkists are the least of my worries” the car drove in the streets for a while until he arrived in the Palace in the stairs it was awaiting a man as he exited the car the man walked down the stairs and said “My sir how was the visiting to the state of Mazonia.” Pablo would smile and say “Well for a previous state that once raided all of its neighbors it wasn't that bad” the man smiled and said “The ministry is awaiting you sir also it appears that High Marshall Douglas seeks to talk with you” Pablo walked passed the man and said “Well job never ends especially for me” the man then walked next to him and said “Well your position truly gives you great responsibilities” Pablo looked at him and said “And also great threats” when climbing the stairs they passed through two giant statues of marble one being a lion and the other of a dragon and entering through the entrance marked by pillars holding the main entrance with some government man entering and exiting the building. Inside the Palace they entered a elevator that is near the entrance taking them to their floor after walking a few minutes they opened door to the strategic committee office of the army encompassing navy, air force and land armies Pablo then said “How goes things while I was inspecting the divisions stationed at the border of Yerun?” as he said that the man walked beside him as Pablo walked to his office “Well nothing new just the average routine of training, planning and preparations the few abnormalities is the recent call from Marshall Douglas and well some small problems with S.I.A soldiers” as he walked to his private office a woman stepped near him but Pablo continued walking as she followed him saying “Ah sir I would like to inform you that...” Pablo interrupted her continuing to walk to his room “Don't need to worry I know about [url=https://i.ibb.co/bm1dPCT/f2cee5db8e3de5d3a2c38dda6b9c5a8f.jpg]Marshal Douglas[/url] calling me just give me the number and I call it” The lady shaken her head negating the order saying “No sir is not about him by the way he said that he would call you but the real problem is…” As he opened the door he saw a man in his young adult age with silver colored hair and wearing a suit with a necktie with a iron flower attached to it also holding a glass of wine the man then said “Lord Pablo Gutiérrez has been a long time how was your trip” Pablo would widen his eyes and say “Prince [url=https://i.ibb.co/fqBV8DV/ccbf1c090603e895a05f4eaa0ef75068.jpg]Nicolas[/url] what is the occasion for this unexpected visit” he turned around and closed the door saying to both who were following him “Give me a minute” Pablo turned around to see Nicolas he approached him and Nicolas said “Wine?” he extended his glass of wine to Pablo he waved his hand saying “No thank you” Nicolas then said “Shame I brought a bottle in case you wanted” the phone in the room so begun to ring next to the table. Nicolas looked at the phone pointed at him and said “These phone ringed at least 2 times since i was here” Pablo bowed down and said with a noticeable tone of bitterness in his voice “If you excuse me my lord” he raised and walked towards the phone as he picked it up he heard the voice of High marshal Douglas saying “About goddamn time I need to say something to you is utter emergency here” Pablo only thinking in the current situation thought for a second and said back “Give me a minute friend I am with the prince right now so, I will call back in ten minutes” as he finished saying that he heard Douglas saying with a tone of anger “No wait this is serious...” before putting the phone back in place and blocking the phone. Pablo dragged the chair from his desk sited on it and said “So what you want?” Nicolas took a sip of his wine and said “I need advice on two matters of importance for me” Pablo crossed his arms and said “I am hearing” Nicolas then said, “My first question is how do you flirt with an Elfic girl?” Pablo hearing that put his hand between his eyes and squeezing it he then said with a tone of irritation “Is this your utter Importance?” Nicolas then sited on top of the desk saying “Well yes I need to know how to talk with elves… with more charisma so to say” Pablo looked at him with eyes of disapproval and anger he then said “You are asking me for advice on that…” he then scoffed saying “You are literally called the most, high classing affiliated man by the people...” As he talked Nicolas raised his hand only capable of saying “Ah...” before Pablo interrupted him again saying “I haven't finished you are literally called the third most racist man on the court not of the country at least that you don't have. But from the court and i highly think that is very unlike” Nicolas once again tried to say “Well i…” but before he could say he was interrupted by Pablo again saying “I haven't finished yet the odds of you talking with an elf are seemingly non existing.” as Pablo finished Nicolas waited for a few seconds and then said “Can I speak now?” Pablo looked at him breathed in and out and said “yes” Nicolas then said “Well you can at least help me with some of that” Pablo looked to the left thought for a second he exhaled air from his lungs and said “No stereotypical jokes no racism and by the love of god don't make fun of our ears” Nicolas thought for a second and said “Jokes about humans would work” Pablo looked at him and said “Maybe” in straight form like he did not care, he then leaned back on his chair and said “So what is the second thing you wanted to talk?” Nicolas hearing drank a little more of his wine and said “Ah… I need help with talking with Darcy” Pablo widen his eyes and said like he didn't believe “Darcy?” Nicolas said back with a positive tone “Yes Darcy Peres if I wasn't specific enough” Pablo coughed when he heard that saying “No I know that but why in the 9 Kingdoms you wanna talk with Darcy” he then said with the same positivity “I have some reasons that I can't tell... but can you help me with that” Pablo put himself on the thinker position looking worried and said leaving position “Well the only ones that were able to get close to her in emotional and catching her attention where either the Emperor, Your sister…” he then said the last name with notable irritation in his voice “And that kid that has been recently promoted I think his name is Alberto I guess” Nicolas then said, “So how they can help me?” Pablo leaned back on his chair trying to relax and said “Well they can probably tell you what you need” Nicolas blew all the air in his lungs in frustration and said “Great now I need to talk with Sara I hope she is in good mood” Pablo then looked at him and said “Its not Sara I am talking about Tânia” Nicolas looked at Pablo with a face of disgust and said “Tânia?” Pablo then said “Yes Tânia” Nicolas begun to think for a minute and said “Now I need to find where she might be… she is possibly at a bar drinking until the sunrise” Pablo shakes his head in disapproval saying “Respect your family” Nicolas then replied “Well she doesn't care about us she disappeared without even saying anything and behaves wanting more to have self pleasure of herself” Pablo then replied to him as he finished saying “At Least act with respect she still is your sister” Nicolas then turned around facing the door with a face of disgust and said “Okay well I think I need to talk with Alberto then” As he finished saying that the door opened appearing a woman in her twenties Nicolas widened his eyes and said “Lady Darcy” Pablo leaned to his left seeing Darcy standing in front of the door Nicolas smiling said “What brings you here my lady” Darcy with a neutral expression said “This is a private thing between me and Pablo Prince Nicolas you better leave right now” Nicolas raised his hand saying “But...” but as he was saying Darcy said in loud voice “Prince Nicolas Ventura Rosário would you like me to tell your father that you are disrupting governmental work” Nicolas continued smiling although with a noticeable discomfort he then began to walk to the door and said “Well I guess this is where I say good” he looked to Pablo and said “We talk later old man” With Nicolas exiting the room Darcy looked at him and Nicolas saw in Darcy´s double colored eyes and felted a chill that seemed to rodiate her before she closed the door she then looked at Pablo that sitting on his chair he then said “Well what takes you to be here?” she then approached him saying “Well due to the incident at the border I need to tell you something” Pablo showed an expression of confusion and said “What incident?” Darcy looked confused as well and said “Haven't you talked with Douglas?” Pablo widened his eyes and picked the phone to his left saying “Oh god, i almost forgot” he begun to type the numbers meanwhile Darcy walked to the left of the room and sited on a chair that was there waiting to him to hear the news, as Pablo finished typing the numbers he then put the phone at his ear he then heard the voice of Marshall Douglas saying “Pablo is that you?” Pablo then replied “yes it is me” When he said that he heard Douglas saying in anger“Good then let me inform you that next time i gonna cut your Co…” hearing that Pablo lower the phone from his hand until the insults stopped he heard Darcy saying “He still is moody” Pablo replied looking at her emptied double colored eyes with a sensation of fear he then said“yes” approaching the phone to the back of his ear hearing Douglas saying “And that is it… Are you still there?” Pablo made a swallowed dry looking at Darcy he then looked to the left and said “yes I am still here what you wanted to say?” He heard Douglas saying in a more calm voice but still worried “There happened serious incidents in the border with Helareu…” Pablo hearing that felted his blood getting cold as Douglas continued talking “Across the border it happened a series of raids against military radio towers, stationed divisions and many others we took some casualties but not so many…” Pablo raised from his chair thinking of what should be made in the current situation “the soldiers we killed used Helareu uniforms the situation is very bad right now the S.I.A forces already notified their leaders” Pablo when he heard of the words S.I.A he looked at Darcy remembering that she wanted to talk about this incident he then took a deep breath and said to Douglas “Put the army on full alert the situation is bad also notify the other Branch leaders” Douglas replied to him when he heard about notifying “Do I need to tell them? I am pretty sure they already know the drill” Pablo said back to him with anger on his tone “Yes you should that is an order” Douglas then said after a few seconds of silence “Yes sir” before turning off the phone. Pablo then put the phone back on the place he then looked at Darcy and said “Is that what you wanted to discuss with me?” Darcy raised from her chair and said “Yes that is what I wanted to say” Pablo turned the back on her and walked to the window of his office while watching the Capital he said “So what the Emperor decided on this matter” Darcy then replied “He summoned the fourteen congress for the announcement of his decision” Pablo coughed with nervously thinking that the Emperor had made his mind already “So what is his decision” Darcy approached the desk and said “He decided to wage war...” Pablo when he heard that turned around with his eyes widened in shock he said “War? why?” Darcy then replied “You already know why he also asked you to initiate War plan 7 in exactly 8 hours” Pablo noded by the order and said “I will warn then to initiate the plan at 0500 of the morning after tomorrow” Darcy nodded and said “Good” she then left the room leaving Pablo alone in the room while he contemplated he picked the phone and typed the number of the High marshall until Douglas answered the phone saying “Don't worry minister i already warned the others” Pablo then said “Then warn the others that Plan 7 will be executed in 8 Hours” Pablo heard a silence in the phone before hearing Douglas say “understood sir preparations will be ready by the sunsets” Douglas then turned off the phone, pablo hearing the phone getting cut sited on his chair to think for a minute of why Helareu soldiers would cross border raid Oswaria he then widened his eyes to the realisation of what possibly happened he raised from his chair and begun to walk one side of the room to the other thinking what to do then until his assistant opened the door saying “Sir I brought you some coffee since is gonna be a long night” Pablo looked at him and said “Where is the Emperor right now?” His assistant got confused with the question but he said “The Emperor is on the opera house right now” Pablo ran to the exit of the palace once hearing about where the Emperor is while his assistant sees him leaving the ministry he is visibly confused when Pablo exited the palace he saw his driver reading a book he approached him opened the back door of the car and said “Igor I need you to take me to the opera house its an emergency” Igor nodded saying with a slight level of confusion “Okay sir” as Igor drove through the cities streets he looked at Pablo seeing him nervous biting his own finger. As the car stopped in front of the opera house Pablo opened the door of the car and took the first steps of the stairs to the door he the middle of the stairs he stopped he took a deep breath trying to relax himself as he entered the opera house and made his way to the auditorium he noticed guards in all entrances to the auditorium as he approached then the guards said “Sir you are not allowed here” Pablo raised an eyebrow and said “What do you mean?... you know who I am?” The guard heard that saying “yes but the Emperor instructed us to…” Pablo irritated walked in front of then saying “get out of my way” the guards on the door hold him and said “Sir you better not do this or we have to use...” as they were talking a man opened the door behind them and seeing Pablo he said with surprise “Mr. Pablo what a surprise” he then waved to the guards and said “He can enter gentleman back to positions” the guards let go of his arms and Pablo entered the Auditorium the man that was inside smiled to Pablo and said “Mr. Pablo what brings you here Pablo looked at him and said “I need to talk with our majesty” the man then said “Oh, he is in the mid row of the Auditorium” Pablo said “Thank you” and entered the auditorium. As Pablo stopped the middle auditorium he looked around he saw the place was empty and looking at the stage he saw the ballet dancing to the Dance of the swans noticing just a few seats away he saw a man smoking a cigar Pablo had a chill in his back and walked in the direction where the man was sitting until he was in the man's right side and when he saw the face of the Emperor he bowed saying “Your Majesty” Evandro looked at him and said “Pablo has been a while, take a seat son” Pablo took the seat next to him and the emperor said “So what brings you here” Pablo looked at him and said “I received the news about what happened at the border and I kinda that put one plus one together…” Evandro looked at him his expression seemed calm but behind the expression he was bleak Pablo continued to talk saying “Helareu would never do such daring attack your majesty” he turned to see him “Do you know what truly happened” Evandro looked back at the stage and said while he picked another cigar “Your view of this world is very noble Pablo, but in this world the only ones who succeed are the ones who keep fighting and conspiring to keep power…” Evandro offered a cigar to Pablo and said “In this world, you must be ready to do whatever it takes to achieve what you want” Pablo in his mind relucted for a while until he picked the cigar and light it up Evandro then said “Go rest kid you gonna need” Pablo noded with a little shake in his hands of fear.
