Posts from The Empire of Reimia (3)

-We already had a sort of "trial" vote, if you can call it that. Romeo Helsward won quite convincingly – maybe you remember him too? He's not only of noble birth, but he also spoke about the fate of the Tehan Quarter. Personally, I found him to be impulsive, and the fact that his family actively supported Thiaria doesn't make me respect him any more. I hope my classmates will see Romeo's flaws and vote for a more worthy candidate – Parfinor smiled self-satisfiedly, but gracefully – me.

— Ha-ha, well, I wish you luck and will be rooting for you in my thoughts. — On this note, the guy headed towards the exit. — Well, it was nice meeting you, maybe we'll see each other again sometime.

— Likewise — Parfinora smiled — I'll be glad for your support, even if it's just in your thoughts.

Can I go back to the curator one more time without spending any points?

Go there.

I'm coming.
After another day of classes, Parfinora found herself once again at the door of her mentor's office. After making sure he was ready to receive her, she entered:
-Good evening, Yuki. Not long ago, I heard a terrible rumor about your sister, and I would like to know how true it is. I apologize if you think I'm saying something inappropriate, based only on gossip, but I can't help myself - my heart won't be at peace until I know the truth. They say that when a young man confessed his love for your sister, she asked him to jump off the roof as proof of his love. And when he did, she felt no remorse. Is this true?

Instead of answering Yuki, he jumped out the window and crashed.

-B-but Professor! - Parphinora shouted after him - you still have a history lecture this week!

- It's not that complicated, - said Latro as he and his classmates left the classroom. - Just apply plantain, the main thing is not to mix up the jars. By the way, I thought there would be more girls here.

-- It's very difficult; the requirements for accuracy are much higher than even for combat weapons. Previously, you might not even get a license for flying, and this is just the beginning, and we're not even talking about serious medicine yet...

— The fact that a confession of feelings and the subsequent death of the young man did indeed take place is true, but I don't know the details of what was happening in the country at that time, as I was abroad. According to the official government statement, the young man jumped on his own initiative after being rejected. Was that really the case? Unlikely. But in any case, when I returned home, the whole country was shocked by the assassination of the emperor and puzzled by the preparations for the coronation of a new one, so despite the tragedy of this event, my attention was absorbed by completely different issues. As for Rynze herself, I will refrain from discussing members of my family based on our personal relationship with each other.

-Thank you for your answer, Yuki. Please forgive me if my question was inappropriate and brought back unpleasant memories. But I had to make sure that it wasn't just propaganda – Parphinora waited for a response from the curator (if there was one) and then returned to her room.

The only ones who showed up for the lecture on the Larian Republic were Moriner and a couple of other students from different classes.
— Today, we will discuss the current state of affairs in Larian, but first, let's briefly review how things came to be. As you already know, the Larian Republic was founded as a result of a civil war against the tyranny of Thiarion Reime. The constitution of this country was written by Larian Twice, its Duke, long before its separation from the empire. He wanted to build a strong and independent state where people would live a decent and free life.
The Fall of Viridian T. Larian and the Rise of Symphony Reime
— Despite the many years of oppression of the Larian people by the ducal family and other members of the aristocracy, the people's attitude towards Viridian during the period of his rising political career was predominantly positive. This was, of course, due to how Larian Twice, his father, treated his subjects and what changes he brought to the country. Viridian was very competent in his work and confidently led the country towards a bright future. Noticeable problems in his reign began to emerge after 788, when the airship carrying the Chancellor was sabotaged by Ikigai, went off course, and crashed into the western mountain range. On that day, the head of the "Reimford" company, Gailardia Reimford, and the scientist from Tanigon, Gilbert von Adelshofen, lost their lives, while the Chancellor presumably survived, although he was seriously injured. But, as it turned out a few years later, the real Viridian shared the fate of Gailardia and Gilbert, while the government decided to replace the Chancellor with a puppet. The model, assembled based on a golden core, used "charm," "analyzer," and "evolution" modules and, as a result, was distinguished by high intelligence and charisma, as well as the ability to self-learn. The reign of the fake Viridian was effective but tyrannical. Over time, this led to the emergence of rebellious sentiments in Larian, which Symphony Reime and her allies from the "Catharsis of the Empire" took advantage of. During the armed uprising, Viridian was removed, and in the subsequent elections, Symphony easily won, becoming the new Chancellor. Since then, she and the people around her have infiltrated all state spheres, and to this day, there has not been a single Chancellor who has not acted on behalf of Symphony.
Larian Today
— Today, the Larian Republic represents the strongest economy in the world and the most technologically advanced country with the highest level of personal and economic freedom. The country's foreign policy is aggressive, and it always seeks to satisfy its own interests. In fact, through diplomatic and economic pressure, Larian controls Tanaris, Asteya, Areid, and Hem. All these countries have largely benefited from their relationship with the Republic, but they have essentially lost their sovereignty. One of the most important social issues in Larian today is the rights of puppets. In the past, the issue of granting them full rights equal to citizens of the republic was raised, but after the actions of the fake Viridian, this process was frozen until the present time.
Having finished with a brief overview of Larian today, the teacher was ready to listen to questions about the country.

In the past, the question was raised about granting them full rights equal to those of the republic's citizens, but after the actions of the false Viridian, this process was frozen until the present time.

/ It really reminded me of the story "Inquest" from Lem's cycle about Pirx. /

By the way, if someone suddenly decides to start playing after the game has already begun, it will be justified by the fact that the character is a transfer student.

I'll try to get into it anyway. Do the traits of accuracy, sadism, and allergies affect magic? What about accuracy?

For the most part, magic has its own system; spells are not considered "attacks," so many things do not apply to them. Sadism and allergy, however, do work, although in the case of the latter, it will be less of a miss and more of an unsuccessful spell activation.

-Forgive my ignorance, and if my question sounds a bit silly, but what is the current relationship between the Rhemic Empire and the Larian Republic? I heard that we import some resources from them, and they import some from us, but there is also very fierce and aggressive competition for something else...
