The Decision

At the Valorian Capital, same date.

Alexander was in the Volkshalle gardens, enjoying the beautiful view of the lush flora that surrounded the grand palace.

The vibrant colors of the flowers, the gentle rustling of the leaves, and the distant chirping of birds provided a rare moment of peace in his otherwise tumultuous life.

As he walked along the cobblestone path, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps approaching. He turned to see Emily Harris, clearly out of breath, rushing towards him.

"Your Excellency… I apologize if I present myself so abruptly," Emily Harris managed to say between breaths, her cheeks flushed from the hurried pace.

Alexander raised a hand, signaling her to catch her breath. "It's quite alright, Emily. What brings you here in such haste?"

Emily took a moment to compose herself before speaking. "There's an urgent message from Ambassador Reinhardt in Maputo. It concerns the situation in Zambesi."
