Government in Exile

It did not take long for the footage of the Heian-kyō Massacre to reach the Reich. By now, the German Empire had mastered the means of smuggling resources and people  in and out of Japan. When Itami and Berengar first laid eyes on the tape, they were horrified. 

While both monarchs had their fair share of blood on their hands, neither of them had ever actually ordered their troops to fire upon their own civilians. Let alone as a means of putting down a peaceful protest. To Itami, who had forsaken her people for most of her reign, this was the final nail in the coffin. 

The guilt she felt in her heart, especially after witnessing the civilization that Berengar had built, was at a breaking point. She had unified Japan as a means of advancing her own ambitions and had used her people as pawns to secure her power. Now, after being exiled to the Reich, Itami realized that those same people were sick and starving as a result of her own actions.
