They Chose their Fate

The morning sun filtered through the tall windows of Alexander's office in Volkshalle, casting a muted glow across the room. The Supreme Leader sat behind his desk, deep in thought, his fingers lightly tapping on the surface. The recent diplomatic efforts with Zambesi weighed heavily on his mind. The news of Zambesi's aggressive stance against the Matalebe tribes had already caused waves within Valoria.

A soft knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. Without looking up, he responded, "Enter."

Julieanne stepped into the room, her face serious. She held a folder in her hand, one that Alexander could tell carried significant news. She approached his desk with purpose and placed the folder in front of him before speaking.

"Your Excellency, I've just received the latest report from Zambesi. Minister Chuma met with our ambassador, Viktor Reinhardt, and it appears they are not backing down."
