Imperial Palace, Chagny
Chagny, the small capital city sat stilled in winter splendor. A blustery breeze shifted the light patina of snow that enveloped the buildings, streets, and statues. Chagny was not the glamorous city of Monterfil or as big as others. But at its heart, it was a city of tradition and of course- was indeed an imperial seat of power. While the Emperor held limited domestic power, he still remained at the head of international power. Though, the Imperial Assembly could veto decisions; the chances of them doing so was rare. Emperor Paul sat quietly behind his desk. He had just flown back from Versoix that morning. Though things had gone well, he was drained. It had been a long few weeks. The Emperor leafed through his briefing materials. It was not something he needed to stud in-depth. But was helpful nonetheless. Soon, a motorcade would pull before the palace. There would be a fanfare of anthems. Handshakes. Pleasantries. It would all be for the cameras. Then, they would sit in the cavernous, oak and mahogany library to discuss the future relations between the two empires.
