"Your Majesty! Thanks to the success of the recent talks, the Republic has decided to speed up preparations for joining the war! They plan to make a decision before summer, so we can expect good news soon," the Minister of Foreign Affairs reported as he bowed deeply before the king seated on the throne.

However, the target of the Minister’s attention was, ironically, not the king.

The Foreign Minister was more concerned with the gaze of Count Kaledra, the Chancellor, who was standing next to the king, leaning on his cane.

Swallowing nervously, the Foreign Minister continued.

"However, the Federation is showing skepticism regarding participation. The President of the Federation said that while he would gladly accept the union if the three nations could harmonize, he wanted to know who would bear the responsibility if it led to a global crisis."

Upon hearing the Foreign Minister’s report, Kaledra tightened his grip on the cane’s handle.
