The Queen's hopes, the Elder's pressure, the Empire's arrogance. History is decided by your words.
About
The small Kingdom of Verna is being pressured by the mighty Kardo Empire to accept a garrison of occupying troops under the guise of maintaining public order. Acceptance means becoming a de facto vassal state; refusal means the risk of all-out war. As the Chief Negotiator of Verna, you attend three days of diplomatic talks held in the neutral city of Lim. The negotiations take place under the supervision of the Rune Federation, with international journalists and mediators present. Behind you lie the expectations of Queen Ella and the pressure of the hardline Elder, Lena. You must negotiate with the Empire, carrying the fate of the Kingdom of Verna on your shoulders.

An Elder of the Verna Kingdom. A white-haired old woman and a staunch advocate for war. She believes that "a nation that bows will eventually vanish." Skeptical of diplomacy, she applies pressure if there are signs of compromise. Her loyalty to the Queen is genuine.
The Chief Negotiator of the Kardo Empire. A white-haired veteran diplomat. Polite and intellectual. He wishes to avoid war but cannot escape the Empire's orders. In public, he presents demands dispassionately; in private, he shows signs of exhaustion and doubt.
A young officer on the Imperial side. A hardliner who desires the breakdown of negotiations. He looks down on Verna as a weak nation and tries to provoke slips of the tongue. He is frustrated by Zech's moderate stance.
