[k] [charaFace D 5] @Nero My great empire's territories are now, vexingly enough, ripped apart and scattered all over. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero On one hand, there is the true Roman Empire that I rule[sr]over. The area centered around this capital, Rome. [k] @Nero On the other hand, there is an alliance controlled by multiple "emperors", that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Nero The United Roman Empire. That's what they called[sr]themselves when they stole half of my empire. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Nero The United Empire is still a mystery to us. No matter[sr]how many scouts we send out, none ever return. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero Even the location of the capital where these fake emperors gather is unknown to us. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash Multiple emperors, you say? [k] [charaFace D 5] @Nero That's right.[sr]In my eyes, they're just a group of treacherous bandits. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero And... [k] [charaFace D 4] @Nero ...No, it's not worth mentioning.[sr]Just rebels spreading their vicious lies. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero They call themselves emperors, but they're just pretenders. [k] ?1:You look troubled. ?2:Is something bothering you? ?! [charaFace A 14] @Mash ...Senpai. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero No, it's fine.[sr]You saw one of them before. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Nero Caligula, the enemy general. The man who[sr]singlehandedly slaughtered my forces before you arrived. [k] @Nero He's one of the traitors who calls himself "emperor."[sr]As well as being... [k] [charaFace D 4] @Nero ...my uncle. [k] @Dr. Roman Shouldn't he be dead already? [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero Yes, dear formless mage.[sr]That is correct. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero Even our Court Mage was killed by Uncle Caligula, but if he was still alive you might have gotten along well. [k] @Nero Our mage boasted that he had overcome death.[sr]In truth, he showed me some impressive spells. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Nero But... He was killed by that one "emperor's" sword. [k] @Nero A master of spells who shouldn't have died, yet died[sr]easily. ...It shouldn't be possible, yet, he did. [k] @Dr. Roman To easily beat a mage of this era...[sr]That's no ordinary human. It's a Servant. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash That must be causing the historical anomaly.[sr]One of the "emperors" got hold of the Grail. [k] @Dr. Roman It's highly likely that is the cause of this era's singularity. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero Honestly, the United Empire is very strong. Violent[sr]battles are occurring all over and the people suffer. [k] @Nero I've dispatched all my serving viceroys and generals, and thrown nearly every troop at them. Yet the United Empire's power is undiminished. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Nero Recently, an expeditionary force of theirs pressed in on[sr]the capital. They even managed to get inside. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Nero I only had a few of my troops to defend us. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero I hate to say it... But it showed me that this situation[sr]is beyond my ability to break by myself. [k] [charaFace D 2] @Nero Therefore.[sr]I order you, no, I implore you! [k] @Nero Become my generals! Then Rome and I[sr]shall assist you in obtaining this Holy Grail! [k] @Dr. Roman Such a heaven-sent proposal.[sr]It seems we have a common cause. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash That's right.[sr]What do you think, Senpai? [k] ?1:Let's cooperate. [charaFace D 1] @Nero Ah, I see! I see![sr]That's a quick response! [k] ?2:Do we get a salary? [charaFace D 1] @Nero Of course. As soon as the United Empire is beaten,[sr]I shall give you what you desire. [k] ?! [charaFace D 0] @Nero I shall grant one of you the title of viceroy, as well as reward for the work you've already done. [k] [charaFace D 1] @Nero Rest well tonight.[sr]I shall prepare quarters suitable for a viceroy for you. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero Oh yes, will the invisible mage require them as well? [k] @Dr. Roman Don't worry about me.[sr]Supplying a room for those two will be enough. [k] @Dr. Roman By the way Your Majesty, have you ever heard the name Lev Lainur? [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero ...Lev? No I haven't, who is he? [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash A mage of our era. He betrayed Chaldea and all humanity. [k] [charaFace A 12] @Mash There's a chance he's in this era. Although, I don't[sr]know if he's revealed himself or taken any action. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Nero A mage from a foreign land?[sr]...Hmm. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Nero I've heard there is a powerful mage in the United Empire.[sr]It's only a rumor, but someone saw that mage on the front lines. [k] @Dr. Roman ...It's possible.[sr]Your Majesty, I have a request. [k] [charaFace D 1] @Nero Speak. [k] @Dr. Roman I'd like Mash and [%1] to be[sr]deployed as close to the front lines as possible. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Nero I don't mind, but...[sr]Will [%1] be all right? [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash ...Yes.[sr]Lev Lainur is our enemy. [k] ?1:We owe him some payback. [charaFace A 7] @Mash ...Yes, Master. [k] ?2:The Director will be avenged. [charaFace A 7] @Mash ...That's right.[sr]We can't let him go after the way he killed the Director. [k] ?! [charaFace D 0] @Nero Very well.[sr]Nero Claudius will honor your request. [k] @Nero I shall pray to the gods and divine ancestors of Rome that your enemy be defeated. [k] [charaFace D 1] @Nero But first, how about a feast before you rest! [k] @Nero Not as grand as usual due to the war, but it will still be a feast where I spare no efforts. [k] @Nero [%1], Mash, do you drink?[sr]We have something special imported from the Orient! [k] [charaFace A 6] @Mash Oh, uh, no drinking for me thanks...

The eastern city gate is under[sr]attack by a mid-size United Empire force! [k] @Roman Soldier I think they're remnants of that expeditionary force![sr]Our eastern gate can't hold them back!
