Chamber of the Stalfes Council, The Silver Keep
The many great politicians of Karthia had gathered for an emergency meeting called on by the Riksmakt. The reason was of course clear; Tensions in the Karthian Colonial Holdings.
The room has a capacity for 200 and was well-light with a magically illuminating artistic ceiling. Whispering was all wide across the room. Soon there was a hush silence after the Riksmakt came and took a seat. There was a feeling of tensity in the air. As if the meeting's purpose was much darker than how bright it looked ....
The four Rikseerls were seated at a separate bench from the Members of the Stalfes Council. The Ministry of External Affairs, Rey Bésant stood up and whispered something into their Ears before talking with the Riksmakt in a low voice that no one could hear.
She then went to the podium in the center and begin her speech.
"My Dear Colleagues, Respected and Most Honourable Members of the Rikseerl Council and their Grace, the Riksmakt; We have gathered today to discuss a very urgent matter. With multiple nations eyeing on our holdings in the Mur Refuge and Scaling Conflict among our Neighbours, It is our duty as the Leaders of this Great Nation to safe-keep it from all threats."
She took a pause. She looked at Adeline, the Riksmakt.
The Riksmakt gesture her to continue.
"Our Borders have been breached and violated. THIS IS a time of contingency. We need to take action and as such I propose to in act Contingency Orders D-281 i.e. the Circumstantial Order for the Dissolution of the Avian Subsidiary States and Organization of the Viceroyalty of the Murs Proper. I would like to hear Their Grace's Opinion of this."
"Though times need though actions and though people to execute them. I would need to know the situation of the local garrison. Annexing the region would also mean that we would need to spend a lot of funds. We have talked about this before."
The Minister of Defence, Adrian comments, "Your Grace, We have sufficient garrison troops to carry out the orders. But this does mean we would have to delay the Yuvin River canal project for redirecting funds."
This Minister of Finance Replies in agreement.
"Indeed You Grace. We would have to choose between the two. Our budget would require funds of around 40 billion Florins to execute such a project."
The Riksmakt sighed.
The Canal was a collaborationist project. Delaying it would be necessary to secure the funds for securing the whole region.
She took the opinions of the Rikseerls, who agreed for the contingency, and listened to her other advisors.
"It would be a wise idea to in act order D-168 and D-78. By building ports and settlements in the whole general southern region, we can levy port charges and gain more funds. Gaining influence would be a side benefit."
The other ministers aggreed.
"I give my consent to the order." said the Riksmakt.
The Rikseerls replied affirmatively too.
"Thank you, Your Excellencies, for your precious time. I would like into the list of states to be organised and have already talked with the viceroy. As per orders, the viceroyalty would be divided to create the two new residencies."
Rey was happy and confident that the plan would work swiftly. They already have the support of the natives and had now gained funds.
Only time would tell how good of a investment it would become...
