Galactic Empire in New World

Part 5 Chapter 29

Palpadia Empire, the next day. 13.00
Imperial capital Esthirant, a hotel

The delegates from Myto Empire are having their lunch. They have lunch at the restaurant where they live. The diplomatic mission staff from Myto Empire currently consists of eight people: four diplomats led by ambassador Gravit, three Gray Jedi, and one mage. They didn't actually do much except wait for orders from Myto or calls from the Palpadia Empire.

While they were eating, suddenly they were surprised by a number of soldiers who came to the restaurant. The soldier escorted a staff member from the Palpadia 1st Foreign Affairs Department. Staff from the 1st foreign affairs department made their way to the desk of the diplomatic mission from the Myto Empire.

"Gentlemen, you are ordered immediately to come to the 1st foreign affairs department. You are expected to depart at this very moment." said the staff of the 1st foreign affairs department.

"Okay sir, but we are in the middle of lunch. We will finish our lunch first and get ready, then we will go to the 1st foreign affairs department." answered the Gravit ambassador.

"NO! You are ordered to the 1st foreign affairs department NOW!" said the staff of the 1st foreign affairs department. Several soldiers then pointed their muskets at the diplomatic mission.

The restaurant fell silent instantly. Many customers quickly left the restaurant, either going to their rooms or leaving through another door. But almost all the doors were also filled with soldiers from the Palpadia Empire.

The members of the Myto Empire diplomatic mission also glanced at each other. The gray Jedi hands were preparing to take up their light saber. Meanwhile, mages also secretly prepare their magic. Ambassador Gravit pressed the button on his watch to notify the Myto Empire's ships of danger, which were hiding in the ocean near Esthirant, to be prepared in case something happened.

"Alright, we'll get the items needed for the meeting later." Ambassador Gravit stated.

"No need, we demand for you to cooperate with us and leave right now." said the staff from the 1st foreign affairs department.

"Okay, but we protest strongly, because we are a diplomatic mission of a country that is recognized even by the superpower of the Mu Empire and that should be treated according to other diplomatic missions." Ambassador Gravit stated.

When the first foreign affairs department learned that the Mu Empire had recognized the Myto Empire, their body language changed. There appears to be some concern if the Mu Empire joins the Myto Empire's defense. However, the staff from the 1st foreign affairs department had received specific orders from the leaders of the 1st foreign affairs department, Elto and also Ramille, to immediately bring a diplomatic mission from Myto Empire to the office of the 1st foreign affairs department as quickly as possible and under strict escort.

"We accept the protest, but we still want you to immediately follow us to the office of the 1st foreign affairs department!" said the staff from the 1st foreign affairs department.

Ambassador Gravit and the diplomatic team from Myto Empire were forced to join the staff from the 1st foreign affairs department. However, they deliberately bought time so that if things went wrong, they could be helped by a small fleet that had been prepared to protect them.

They were also taken to an open carriage that was used to carry soldiers. They sat in the carriage with a heavy escort from the Palpadia Empire soldiers. Meanwhile, the staff from the 1st foreign affairs department got into a luxury carriage, which was in front of the open carriage. On the left and right, as well as in front of and behind them, they were heavily guarded by soldiers of the Palpadia Empire, some on foot and some on horseback.
