Chancellor Mallis: Your Majesty?
While Laora is lost deep in her thoughts, a noble rushes in and has an urgent report for her.
Lord Chester: Apologies, Your Majesty, we have an urgent issue
Laora came to her senses.
Laora: What? Oh, I'm sorry, please continue.
Laora felt sharp pain in her chest. She gripped her hands together, and in her mind, Liatart filled her mind, while she actively responded to the Maleverlem Empire's pushback against her economic takeover.
Lord Chester: Everything is a struggle to keep up the Maleverlem Empire is now trying to block us from advancing any further
Back in Lusain Tannia, the Great Dark is waiting for Liatart to wake up. Liatart is heavily injured, and even with multiple powerful healing potions, it barely kept him alive.
Meanwhile, in the Maleverlem Empire, the God of Domination, Galador Rim Lamatia, has had enough. The acting Emperor of the Maleverlem Empire is on his knees, as the God of Domination, Galador Rim Lamatia tell what to do.
Actual Emperor Galador: You have my permission to use any necessary measures to fight back, and order the Royal family to tighten the regulations. Monitor the Supreme Nation's bank and stop lending any of the Supreme Nation's companies anymore loans, and increase the taxes; show no mercy toward them.
Acting Emperor Arthur: I understand, your majesty. I may ask, can we still proceed forward with my suggestion, your majesty?
Actual Emperor Galador: I'll talk with Emperor Cladiest Sudio myself
Acting Emperor Arthur: Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best to my ability
Acting Emperor Arthur walks out of the God of Domination's domain and gathers the Royal family. A meeting was held in the Palace with all the Royal Fimaily memeber that are involved in the Empire's Economy.
While the other are yelling and screaming at each other face to deal with their own issue.
Noble Man: Why do I have to assist you? It's your job.
Another Noble Man: We need your man's skill, your idiot, can't you just think
Another Noble Man: Can't you just do something? Are you that incompetent?
Another Noble Man: Just launch the damm investigation. We got the Redecan Empire. Why do we still need them?
Another Noble Man: Do you have a brain? You want the empire to have an economic crisis.
Then, the most powerful man and leader of the strongest faction in the Maleverlem Empire walks into the Meeting room. The moment he opened the door aggressively, everyone immediately redirected their attention to him, and everyone went silent.
Duke Alexander walks into the room and sits down,
Dukeman Alexander: The Emperor has given the order. I would expect all of you to perform with the best of your ability, or you will answer to me.
Duke Alexander continues and assigns each noble what they will do.
Duke Alexander: All of you will first delay all the load of our country's bank and delay permit and increase taxes, we will also release a special package to our country's company to fight The Supreme Nation back, reach out to all of our associate and inform them of our intent, encourage all the local bussiness to stop do bussiness with the foreign company, tighten our regulation and espcially on the foreign shareholder.
One of the Nobles: You do realize that these actions can be considered as a violation of the trade agreement right,
Duke Alexander: Had I not explained myself well enough?
Duke Alexander looks at the Nobleman with his relaxed and calm face, and the Nobleman feels this intense look in his face.
The Nobleman: I Understand, Sir
As the whole room is now in complete silence, Duke Alexander slapped his hand loudly, and everyone immediately had a shock through their body and an intense atmosphere in the room.
Duke Alexander: Now, let us push it back and also monitor the Supreme Nation's Major closely
The Maleverlem Empire is now moving to tighten its regulation when the empire's bank work with the forieng company, The Supreme Nation's company are facing a serious obstacle, the empire are now try to prevent the local supplier from having smooth flow of work and wealth with the forienge company and ease the regulation on the local company, the royal family are now slowly moving to make their local company to be able to stand against the forienge company again, including a big tax exemption.
Lord Chester: We have received over half a million complaints. The company and those who are involved in the Meleverlem Empire's economic boom are now facing a serious setback the local supplier are now returning back to their local company due to heavy regulation, including a outrages taxes that they are imposing on the forienge company, now the forienge company are slowly or considering slow down or down scale their operation, however there are another issue that are now proven to be a bigger headach the Emperor Arthur had file a complaint in the world's stage accused us for unfair and ill intention including exploitation, manipulation and criminal like action toward their empire.
Laora is now shocked, her eyes widening. Earlier, her mind was worried about Liatart, but the moment this news hit her, she snapped. The pressure is now weighing on her even more heavily; it's almost like she's just falling into a really good sleep, but a sudden loud bang wakes her up. The heat is now feeling like it's burning her alive.
Emperor Arthur of the Maleverlem Empire is now entering the world stage, in his defend Empress Laora Land Blair is a wicked devil that try to manipulate the world and frame the Maleverlem Empire as the enemy of the world. He wanted the world to notice what was at play here and accused Empress Laora of being a criminal.
This sends a shock wave to the Western World, and its ally, a mountain of questioning letters flooded the Supreme Nation's palace from its ally, while the Redecan Empire's Ally tries to make the world see Empress Laora as a snake, and such actions are punishable by death.
The whole world is now in complete chaos, with both sides arguing with each other. One side tries to defend Empress Laora, and the other side tries to make Empress Laora look as bad as possible, with some even calling her a filthy rat.
This controversial news reached the Merverlem Empire, the 12 Alliance, the Cylard Empire, and the Engkor Empire.
Emperor Charles E. L. Matalton The Great immediately rushed to Empress Laora's side and got into the buttom of this,
As for the 12 Alliance, Cylard Empire, and the Engkor Empire, they completely ignore the situation and make their intention clear that they do not want anything to do with this Superpower rivalry.
while all of these event and chaos are happening, Emperor Galador and The Empero Cladiest Sudio are now working together to fight back against Empress Laora
Emperor Galador: We are trying to spread the news about Laora's plan as wide as we can. While we are fighting to prevent her from taking control, we will use international pressure to slow and break her bit by bit.
Emperor Cladiest Sudio: You are as terrifying as ever, Galador. I will also do my part to speed up the agreement and get finalize early. Be sure to watch your back; she might have something else that might turn the whole thing upside down again.
Emperor Galador: You do not need to worry, I am more than capable of counteracting anything she may try to attempt
Emperor Cladiest Studio: Take my advice and find more ways to pressure her. I don't think that these are enough to truly make her fall.
Emperor Galador: Your suggestion?
Emperor Cladiest Sudio: We will hit it where it hurts the most. Our free trade agreement is supposed to be finalized in 1 in a halt year from now, so I will try with all I can to make it less than a year, and the moment it's done, the Supreme Nation's downfall is inevitable.
Laora is now slowly falling as its weight becomes heavier and heavier; this is one of the flaws that she had made during this operation.
Then, an immediate World Summit was held about a month later. Emperor Cladiest Sudio sent a letter to King Maden of Norhteerass Kingdom, requesting him to attend the summit because he is busy with something, so only the top-ranking Royal Family members of the Redecan Empire are attending the summit.
King Maden Blad Deveer of Northeerass Kingdom, the 10th World Superpower, and a major ally to Emperor Cladiest Sudio of the Redecan Empire
Once everyone is gathered in the summit hall, the Supreme Nation's representative steps forward and defends the Empress Laora's action.
The Representative: First of all, we would like to clarify and clear out all kinds of misleading and fake info out there that accuses us of exploitation, our intentions, which is to build trust, a new source of independence, and freedom to choose. The world has no fear or concern for their decision, and the Maleverlem Empire is the new opportunity; our Empress will be the one to open that window for the world.
We are here to firmly reject the accusation against us if our action is being question perhaps it is not because of a legit concern of security, but the fear of change.
The Moment the Redecan Empire and the Kingdom of Northeerass's allies heard the word "fear to change," it immediately angered them, while the Western world's allies kept a straight face and listened to the representative closely, but some of them also had this anger built in them despite the Supreme Nation one of their most powerful ally assuring them such a future.
As the representative continues on with his speed, a nobleman from the Redecan Empire who sits in front of King Maden tries to stand up and speak what's on his mind, but King Maden grabs his shoulder aggressively to prevent him from standing up.
King Maden: Sit down, your emperor entrusted this to me, so let me handle this
The Nobleman: As you wish, Your Majesty
King Maden stands up, despite the fact that he is at the near back sit everyone notices him immediately. The representative notices that everyone is now turning their gaze to something else,
King Maden: You wanted to build a new future for the world, but how would you explain the fact that only your country's companies are able to do it?
The Representative can feel the pressure in that question; he hesitates and tries to answer it in a way that is reasonable.
The Representative: Our country's company has the resources to perform it better.
King Maden: Then why the need to lower the prices? You do realize that because of that action, your country almost crashed some country's economy, right ?
As the representative tries to process a way to respond, King Maden doubles down.
King Maden: Despite your word, just said then, why did all of you enter the Maleverlme Empire's economy so aggressively?
The Representative: We are trying to establish it as fast as we can
King Maden: Why the need to do such a thing, or are you afraid of something
The Representative: It is in our belief that we have to deliver the best possible satisfaction
King Maden: Then explain why, can you just assist the Maleverlem Empire's company instead of having your nation involvement? The Maleverlem Empire's economy is already a regional economic powerhouse; with the same assistance, they can still perform the same thing that your nation can do.
The Representative: It's because we can also make a return more effective, so it's a win-win on both sides
King Maden: Then explain why your nation's company tries to take control of the Meleverlem Empire's local businesses.
The Representative: What we are doing is our way to support them to make the same progress
King Maden: You say it as a support, but what I see is more like a takeover rather than securing a future
As the two of them were arguing, Emperor Charles E. L. Matalton the Great raised his voice, and it broke the argument.
Time are now reaching its boiling point, Laora has two options: Risk it or die.
