The Sarrum thanked the kind words of the Minister, and after hearing the plans of the Empire of Monaco Ville Nice to the areas of conflict, he nodded a couple of times.
"Indeed, indeed, going back to the old model, after it collapsed would be certainly destined to failure from beginning. Perhaps a balanced tri-cameral parliament model in which each ethnic group would have the same amount of seats to fill. Perhaps some kind of confederation. Well I guess they are some options to explore."

Laying back Naram-Suen organized his thoughts and continued. "For the time being I shall increase the presence of the army on the borders of Zion and Ixzara to guarantee the safety of the people gathering on those borders but for now I shall do no more than that. Besides that my government and I shall assist the empire and the coalition forces however we can to bring stability and peace to the region of Zion and Ixzara. Now I understand that the warlords are gathering around the central southern portion of Anatolia what might come to be a problem if they manage to get the assistance of any neighboring nation, as the Kurds or the Persians to shelter them. We don't need to worry about the Armenians on this scenario, they animosity to the Ixzaran's is of long date." the Sarrum pondered drinking some more of the coffee.

The Foreign Minister nodded and acknowledged he understood the Sarrum's various positions on the regional issues. He then began to speak on the Empires thoughts "I'm glad that Ikuani realizes a break must be made in the politics of Zion. The old model would only leave the people of Zion as divided as ever and would only lead us back to this path in a few years time. As a solution it looks likely that Zion would become a federation with a Palestinian state, A Jewish state, as well as independent Christian enclaves. They would be united by a federal body likely headed by a Prime Minister. Parliament would also mirror the population with representatives being sent from each of the 3 states."

The Foreign Minister took another drink of coffee before continuing "The current situation in Anatolia is troubling. The warlords seem to have renewed strength and with instability in the Granduchy of Veomo and with the possible involvement of the Kurds and Persians the situation can potentially explode. However with an increase in support for the mission from the Empire as well as our ally Celatoria we're hopeful we can stabilize the situation. However hamstrung the Empire might be in terms of what we're allowed to deploy on the ground due to our international agreements on Anatolia. We are prepared to make massive contributions in terms of logistics, support, and material to our allies to make this situation right. We're going to make sure that we leave a stable and better Anatolia behind.".

The Sarrum was conformed with the position of the Eternal Empire, taking a glance at the tall window behind them, he said. "Well time flies when we are enjoying a good conversation over a cup of coffee" he made a pause placing his cup on the tray and standing up."Mr. Beaudelaire, I understand and support the position of the Eternal Empire on both territories. But I believe that as for now, our presence on the Ixzaran Theater, would be most unfavorable given that the coalition would seem to have things under control in no time. I would have preferred that King Dizhwar or some envoy from Darjistan was present to further discuss the matter in Zion, though I can assure you our assistant on the northern region, and on assisting the rebuilt of the area. As for Ixzara unless the battle comes to us, I can do no more than reinforce the borders and protect the refugees." he made a pause while the minister stood up and the maid came to take away the silver tray "I hope you agree to diner with me tonight, on a more casual stand of course." Naram-Suen said with a small smile. He than said goodbye to the minister and left the room into the depths of the building, at the same time Jibril entered to escort the minister outside and to his hotel, the Four Seasons Damascus. An entire floor had been reserved to the Imperial delegation. Before leaving the minister on the capable hands of the hotel staff, he said "If you need me for anything, please do not hesitate to ask."

Foreign Minister Beaudelairen entered his luxurious suite in the four seasons and nodded his head softly saying "Nice." as one of his young aides came up. One of his youngest aides named Otep had just gotten off the phone with Alexandria and asked "The Queen would like to know how your talks are going.". The Foreign Minister sighed and then said "Of course she does. Tell her it's going as we expected and that the Sarrum has offered his support to us in Northern Zion. While they've also offered they're political support to our operation in Ixzara.". Otep frantically wrote the Foreign Ministers words down and then rushed back to the phone. The Foreign Minister then said almost forgetting "Tell Cleopatra if she has any questions just to call me. Better to have her come straight to me then continue going through your incompetent ass.". Otep had a said and slightly nervous look on his face and nodded and then walked to the Phone. The Foreign Minister then exhaled saying "I'm going to take a nap before diner with the Sarrum. If anyone wakes me up I'll kill them.". The Foreign Minister then sat down on a couch and closed his eyes hoping to catch an hour or so of sleep.

At the lobby of the hotel, the Imperial Seneschal Jibril ibn Imad Nejem was waiting for the Minister to come down from his room.

As the minister comes down, they all get into the cream colored Maybach Guard, bearing the government flags. As the car leaves the hotel the minister was amazed with Damascus at night, a city so old and yet so alive. Damascus was a city of culture, and although the nights were more calm than those of Alexandria were equally alive.

Soon they arrived at the Damascene Minaret the most traditional and luxurious restaurant in Damascus, the only one in the region to have a sixth star. Inside on a reserved room, the Sarrum was waiting for their arrival.

Foreign Minister Beaudelairen Damascene Minaret and was quite impressed right from the start. He'd dined at many fine dining establishments, this one however on decor alone warranted a spot among the memorable. He hoped the food would live up to his growing expectations but at a six star restaurant their was little doubt it would.

Upon entering the private room the Sarrum had reserved the Foreign Minister greeted the Sarrum, bowing and saying "Sarrum, a great pleasure to dine with you this evening.". The Foreign Minister then was seated and spoke "I've just gotten off the phone with Queen Cleopatra. Seems their is some business she wishes we here discuss. As I am sure you're likely aware the Empire is a member of the Vienna Alliance. Apparently the Queen and King Jason of the Kingdom of San Lumen have spoken on and would like to see Ikuani join the Vienna Alliance if you so chose. They feel Ikuani would be a good fit for the alliance and its benefits and are nearly positive if you desire to join that you application process would be very short.". Foreign Minister Beaudelairen unfolded his napkin and placed it on his lap before continuing to speak "Either way the Queen says to take your time with any decision and whatever your decision she sincerely hopes we can work together to bring some order back from the chaos our part of the world has been experiencing.".

"The pleasure is mine, minister" the Sarrum said, and taking his seat he listened carefully to what the minister was saying.

"The Vienna Alliance you say. An interesting organization for what I have heard. But lets discuss it later, for now we shall keep the night light." he said while making a sign to the sommelier, whom promptly approached the table with a very fine bottle of Domaine de Gianaclis Ayam Red wine brought directly from the Egyptian delta. The Sarrum then indicated to the minister to taste the wine first, so the sommelier opening the bottle, handed the cork to the minister to smell and then poured some of the deep blackish red liquid into the minister's bordeaux glass.

"I asked the chef to make a special dish to us tonight minister, the fine Goose Damascene, one of my favorites and an specialty of the Minaret". He then waited for the appreciation of the minister.

The Sarrum of Ikuani was dining with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Monaco-Ville-Nice when the Imperial Seneschal Jibril ibn Imad entered the private room and spoke solely to the Sarrum, after bowing.

"M'lord, the Premier of Veomo is making a communicate on all regional news networks. He's blaming the Grand Duke's brother in law of the assassination plot."

The Sarrum hold his fork on the middle of the way when he heard it.

"Mr. Beaudelairen, I believe we must watch the news." he calmly said, dispatching the seneschal whom came back a minute later with a tv set.

on the news a young woman was giving the report. on the bottom of the screen it read: Veomese Government accuses Price Alexi

"On this early afternoon Premier Gustav Kendar of the Grand Duchy of Veomo made a statement, accusing Prince Alexi of being the mind behind the assassination plot against the Grand Duke of Veomo, His Highness Kahv Eirm. The Premier also requested the assistance of the international community to arrest the Prince and bring him to Veomese Courts."

The image than changed to the Conference Room of the Parliament of Veomo where a notably anguished Premier was standing on the podium.

"My countrymen! Terrible are the news I am fated to deliver you. People of Veomo and of the world! After long time and resources spent on investigation, I have been recently informed that we have come with the identity of the devious mind behind the assassination of the Grand Duke and the disappearance of the Grand Duchess." He make a long pause to let those words sink. "Prince Alexi is such mind! And now I make an appeal to the international community, help us bring Alexi of Krasnodar to justice so that justice is done! I have ordered the Second Fleet to arrest Prince Alexi, but we'll need assistance since he is currently commanding a fleet himself. I urge the men under his command to mutiny and arrest Alexi of Krasnodar, so that justice may be done. I urge the international community not to let him flee unpunished. Thank you."

The image goes back to the young woman on the studio who was now giving a chronology of the events on the Grand Dukes Case.

The Foreign Minister sat back in his chair digesting what was just heard on the television. He then turned towards the Sarrum "Seems like we could have another civil war on our hands. This time in an alliance member no less. I'm going to try and contact the Queen and see what her thoughts are on this matter. Though she has said before any sort of civil war in Veomo is totally unacceptable for the Empire. Though with this unforeseen thickening of the plot is it truly unavoidable? Your thoughts highness before I call the Queen?"

The Sarrum looked at the minister and said.

"The region has suffered too much already with the wars we currently face, and the battle and struggle that the people live on a daily basis on several parts of the region. I believe we cannot afford to have another crisis on our hands. Please tell the Queen that whatever is in our means to assist the Empire and the members of the alliance to overcome this crisis however it is, we shall."

There was no turn back now. The Empire was entering the international scenario...
