Unknown location, Luthori, April 15th.
"You've asked me to come here, Mr. von Clauwitz, I hope it's for a good reason, at least."
"Surely, you wouldn't be disappointed, Ms. Kadiyot. If you would follow me."
Then the pair marched towards an unknown location, deep inside the Tower of Fort William, where all imperial secrets lies.
They've arrived in a secret room, where all Imperial relicas are kept when not shown to the public. The Imperial State Crown, the St-Edward Crown, the Gems...
"So, what? I sure didn't mind to lose some time with you, Ferdinand. But why are we here?" The Kadiyot grew impatient.
"Maria, Vanuku collapsed into the Reds' arms. The House of Orange-Villayn will claim the Throne, yet again."
"I see, what has that to do with the Kadiyots?"
"We need your support in the Conclave."
"Hm."
"Yet, we know that it's not free. So, in part of paying. Here, Her Majesty offers to Beiteynu the chance of reclaiming one of its Gems."
The normally calm Kadiyot was taken aback from that statement. And she could only mutter.
"Which...which...gem..."
"The Meleh's. I can give it to you right here. If you give us your support in the Conclave."
After some seconds reflecting on the decision, she finally said.
"Fine. You have the support of the House Kadiyot in your endeavour."
"Wonderful."
"Just remember, my House is content, if you remain loyal to Beiteynu and the Yeudi People."
"Certainly. Here is the Gem. The Meleh's Gem. Stolen by the Benowitzes. Back in Beiteynu.", the man finally said, giving her the Gem.
"Yet, we can't trust you before you do your part of the deal, my dear Maria. Vote for us, then only then the Gem shall be yours, I'll make sure of it."
