Imperator!   ---------------------------------------------------   >”Anonymous, what did you DO?!?” “Which front?” >”I was on vacation for two weeks! TWO WEEKS!” “Correct, imperator!” >Celestia moans. “Where’s Luna? She was supposed to be in charge here...” “Legate Luna is currently directing army group south from the front, Imperator!” >”I… When I said to play hardball with the griffon diplomatic party, this isn’t what I meant.” “B-but Imperator! They impinged on your honor! Their ambassador commit unspeakable acts!” >”He called me ugly, twice.” “Yes! The spirit of war was ignited, conflict became inevitable, imperator!” >”Anon, why do you keep calling me that?” “We um, held a referendum after the war started. Luna told us about the olden days, and imperator’s one of your new titles” >’SIGH’ “We’re also known as the ‘Empire of the Ever-Living Sun’ now, if you were interested.” >”Anon, I specifically said to keep policy friendly. “But I am!” >”Really now.” “If you’re friends with someone, you want what’s best for them, right?” >”Okay…” >Griffon leadership was decadent and corrupt! If I was really a friend to Griffons, I’d want them to be lead by the most benevolent, enlightened, and glorious figure I could think of! You!” >”Annon, I…” Celestia let out a deep sigh. “Imperator, do you need a tummy rub?” >”Yes Anon. Thank you.”
