Our Option?

Duke Salvador smiled as he looked at the Emperor. 

"Indeed, we do not know what power Vivere Kingdom's Princess has, but bringing her into the Empire opens up many possibilities." 

The secretary who was standing there in the front gulped. It was his duty to look into things and search for possible outcomes. And he saw the entry of the Vivere Kingdoms Crown Prince with the army in disguise of a peace treaty as a threat to the Empire.

[Duke Salvador does not know what he is saying.]

[Is he trying to make fun of me?]

The eyes of the secretary narrowed. He was angry that the Duke would think so hard and long into something. 

[No, I am sure they are planning on attacking us.]

[This is the only outcome that makes sense.]

[I can never be wrong.]

Thinking that he was not wrong the secretary's thoughts turned messier. His eyes were flooded with worry.

[Is Vivere Kingdom planning to damage the Empire from within?]
