《Tales of Idiots.》Interlude - Diplomat
Advertisement
"We arrive at Bronach, Marquess Griffin."
"I can see that."
Marquess Griffin walks out of his car with his bodyguards coming to his side. As he heard through the gate and were stopped by guards. "Stop! What is your business here."
"This is Marquess Griffin of the Solstice Empire and is on a diplomat mission for the Solstice Empire." Marquess Griffin said. He held up a document that details his status as a diplomat.
The guard checks the document and lets them in.
Once the diplomat and his bodyguards went through they saw a man that dresses in better clothes than the people that were in the kingdom. The man notice the diplomat and his guards and said, "I am Jack Scott your guide."
They were led to the palace of the royal family of Bronach, on their way there Griffion notice that the streets were dirty and full of trashes. The common people wore dirty clothes, beggars wearing rags begging for money, or were dying and orphans watching them from the alleyways.
"Apologize you fucking rat!"
Griffin saw a noble stomping on a man breaking his nose and his face bloody with cuts and bruises.
"S-S-Sorry Count Watson." The man stammer.
The noble still stomp on the man even after the apologies before stopping and spat on the man before leaving. Jack looks at the injured man with a disdain look and walks past him. Griffin could see that some of his bodyguards were looking in the direction the noble left with angry looks. Griffin whisper, "Don't cause trouble for the Solstice Empire." The bodyguards nodded. Then they finally arrived at the Royal Palace. The palace was decorated with statues that depict the kings of the Bronach from past to present. Golds lined the doors and as they enter the palace, grand arts made by famous artists were everywhere in the palace. Griffion couldn't help but hold the entire upper class being so corrupt and spend lavishly with taxes money on themselves and for improving the lives of the common people. They were guided to the throne room.

The throne room had six pillars, the carpet was made of silks, golds lined the walls and ceiling and the throne itself was made gold, other jewelry were embedded on the throne, The king himself was wearing lavish clothes and jewelry with rings on all of his fingers, an arrogant smile was on his face, a beard and his eyes show that he held everyone beside him in disdain.
"Welcome diplomat of the Solstice Empire, I, King Mark Von Valentine of Bronach welcome you." The king said with a smile.
"It is an honor to meet you, King Mark." Griffion bow with his bodyguards.
"We are discussing the bombing incident correct?" King Mark asks.
"Yes, your highness," Griffion said not bowing anymore. "The Solstice Empire declared that they are not responsible for the bombing and demand for merchants and citizens of the Solstice Empire that were visiting Bronach to be released with no harm done to them."
The king just laugh. "I'm afraid I can't do that," he said.
"Why," Griffion asks.
"Because they're suspects of the bombing." The king said.
"But they have been proven to be innoc—"
"Are you saying that I'm wrong?" The king said frowning.
"Yes, your highness for the citizens and merchants of the Solstice Empire had been proven innocent as they did not have any bombs on when they arrive here nor was they anywhere near the bombing," Griffion said.
"Hmph. Even if they didn't have the bombs or were even anywhere near the bombings doesn't mean that they were not involved for you are all rats that plague the world and want to take over my kingdom." King Mark said still frowning. "Besides the rat your emperor said to release are all already dead."

"What?" Griffion questions.
"You heard me insect, the people your emperor request to be release are dead. Excueted." King Mark said his tone growing cold. "While the Solstice Empire was not involved in the past bombing since the symbol of Black Death was there, there are evidences that point to that the Solstice Empire was responsible for the bombing of the Royal Ceremony!"
"What evidences?" Griffion said his face pale.
"My words." King Mark said.
"But those are not evidence! Those are just your—"
"Silence!" The king roar. He stood up and yell, "I am the King of Bronach chosen by the God of Light and Justice and so my words are laws! You are just filthy rats that must do as I said!" His face was twisted between anger and arrogance. "Guards arrest them and sent them to the guillotine!"
Griffion's bodyguards try to ward off the guards but they were too under-equipped for they didn't expect the king to order their arrest and were beaten to the ground.
"What you're doing is an act of war against the Solstice Empire!" Griffion yells.
"Hmph. What I'm doing is justice. True justice! For your empire had housed the demons that of elves, dwarfs and beastmen! I shall cleanse the land free of them!" King Mark yells. "I, King Mark Von Valentine of the Bronach Kingdom declare war on the Solstice Empire!"
