German Kaiserreich in Nihonkoku Shoukan

The Onset of war,Germany left broken

Papaldia Empire, imperial capital Esthirant, 1st foreign affairs department

3rd department head Kyeos had been called over to the 1st department. While the departments did sometimes exchange personnel since they were publicly part of the same governmental organ, it was normally out of the question for a department head to be summoned to another department. However, because the 1st department carried an order from the emperor this time, Kyeos was obligated to show up.

The meeting would take place in the department head's office. Kyeos was currently standing in front of the door. No matter how many times he saw that gaudily-ornamented, heavy door, he always hated it. This should have been my room...I worked my ass off and just because i shared Populist views,this happened as he stood there, those kinds of thoughts crossed his mind.

Clack.

An employee of the 1st department opened the door and led him in. Inside the room, he saw 1st Department Head Elto, Deputy Head Hans, Chief of Sub-Superpower Countries Shiran, and there was also a beautiful woman in her late-twenties sitting by herself.

Kyeos bowed to each person in turn. "By His Grace the Emperor Ludius's command, I am here at the 1st department to respond to your summons...How may I be of service?"

"You do not know? It appears you have yet to learn to think for yourself," spat the beautiful woman venomously.

"I beg your pardon, but may I ask who you are?" Kyeos asked politely.

"Remille, from the Foreign Affairs Auditing Office."

The Foreign Affairs Auditing Office was established to deal with internal iniquities and cases of deteriorating relations with other countries. When departments were audited in the past, sometimes it resulted in the person leading the department being removed, and sometimes some diplomatic duties were taken over by another department. To avoid questions of status, since the foreign affairs departments were comprised of elites, the auditing office was staffed by members of the imperial family. In other words, the woman before him was royalty. Kyeos lowered his head before Remille.

"If I may ask again, how may I be of service?" Kyeos asked even-temperedly.

"We are here to talk about Germany. If I remember correctly, the 3rd foreign affairs department is responsible for countries outside the civilized area and the head of that department is you, Kyeos. However, His Grace's exact words were to 'meticulously educate Germany.' I saw the notes for the first meeting with Germany. Why were they treated like state guests? Since Germany only has one assigned diplomat, I do not need anyone else's necks,thus I tell you directly that you were diplomatically weak—no, even worse, it was a diplomatic capitulation. For someone representing the empire to be so... if you were unable to fathom His Grace's will... I can only say that it was pathetic, Kyeos."

Kyeos felt sweat beading on his brow. Remille continued speaking.

"Kyeos, for any future dealings with Germany, the 3rd department will no longer be necessary; the 1st department shall take over. I will temporarily leave the Foreign Affairs Auditing Office and join the 1st Foreign Affairs Department and take over as the diplomat in charge of all issues concerning this Germany. Kyeos...fools who are unable to discern His Grace's intentions are not needed in the empire. You shall not be dismissed due to this incident; I hope you are grateful for that. Watch your conduct carefully in the future."

(This bitch... how conceited!)

''Miss Remille,it seems you forgot that they are not below us,they might be on Par with us,that is why i have treated as equals,We must use reason when faced with a nations that could very well make us bleed,they are not like Fenn or Lauria,we can't go without a plan in this war,we must use extreme caution''Kyeos said
