In a leisurely afternoon, the Imperial Capital of Gafura had just experienced a rain.
The damp air after the rain carried the fragrance of earth, some plant in the flowerpot was stretching its branches, and droplets were hanging on the flowers, everything felt so comfortable and reassuring.
Behind the windowsill under the flowerpot, a few gentlemen sat together, holding either Kleve or large pipes, each contemplating the news brought by the Prime Minister.
The Federation's President personally called to try to extort money from them.
When they first heard this news... everyone thought the Prime Minister was just too bored and wanted to trick everyone for fun.
When he really gathered everyone together, they all realized this wasn't a joke.
"I think... we can give them something. It's not much money, and given our current situation, we can't afford to make any other decisions at this time."
