5:14 PM, Great Palace
Constantinople, Byzantiya

Emperor Alexius X ripped the meat off the chicken leg in front of him with his teeth, juices splattering on his plate as he plowed into his five o’clock “early dinner.” This would of course be followed by normal dinner, supper, and perhaps a late dinner as well, if the chefs felt so inclined (and they would be—death by hanging was quite the incentive).

As little a role the Emperor played in the day-to-day affairs of the nation these days, he still found himself overwhelmed by the number of papers (seven) he was forced to sign every week, and longed for more peaceful days of feasting and drinking—it was no surprise to anyone in the Imperial family, then, when word reached them of Alexius X’s private letter to the Scandivan Empire concerning Byzantiya’s future role as a Scandivan Protectorate state.

Βyzantinή Αytokratorίa
Byzantine Empire

Nation’s Name: The Most Holy Empire of Byzantiya (the Byzantine Empire will suffice)
Head of the Executive Branch: Myself, of course, Emperor Alexius X
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy/Empire
Governing Body: Ha!
GDP: $17,657,000,000
Currency: Solidus
Population: One hundred twenty six million souls
Languages: Greek
Demographics: 100% Byzantine Greek, obviously. Turks certainly don’t count.
Bio: You have no doubt already seen our national factbook (published by a man outside my influence, may our Lord damn his soul to eternal hellfire)

There something else, I’m afraid—something which cannot be allowed to reach the ears of my enemies. For thirty years I have considered myself a Catholic, contrary to the beliefs of my subjects. If this fact were to reach any outside the Great Palace, the consequences would be dire.


7:52 PM, Dēmarcheίo
Nicaea, Byzantiya

With a single motion Alyssa Kyrgiakis ripped the stamped piece of parchment in two, tossing the halves into the fireplace in her office. Gluttonous fool! she thought, fire in her eyes. Her cousin may have been a lazy figurehead, but she never imagined he would stoop to such idiocy. This was an unwelcome development, and it would mean that her plans would have to be put into action sooner than she would have liked.

“Thorakides?” she asked, speaking into the intercom on her desk. “Contact Cynthius in the Scholai and tell him to proceed with our plan now—I’ll be on the next flight to Constantinople.” Alyssa grabbed her bag off the back of her chair and walked briskly outside, throwing the ridiculously large hat she had been forced to wear in her position to the ground as she left the Dēmarcheίo Building.
