Nam Dinh, Imperial Kingdom of Hôinôm | Zechyr, 1591
As Tieguonese aircraft had started to bomb territory controlled by General Lê Công Thuân, the situation became increasingly tense. Prime Minister Vuong Hùu Ngôc had been able to strengthen the Hoinomese institutions, highly weakened after General Lê's coup d'etat, and rebuild the military forces, but they failed to obtain decisive military victories against either the southern rebels or Hôi Luỳên forces. Now, the intervention of Tieguonese Air Force, although it had not attacked Nam Dinh positions so far, threatened to become a serious setback.
"Can you see that everything is lost?", asked Takahito, who shared the mood that seemed to dominate Nam Dinh those days.
"Look, my empress", Takahito continued, "my cousin Nobuo has offered me to join the board of directors in Kazemura in his technological company. Meanwhile, we can move with the children to Tiejungo. It is the best option given the circumstances".
"Don't be stupid!", Empress Hông replied. "We are not moving anywhere".
"Are we supposed to way until Tieguo armies advance and occupy all the country?", Takahito insisted. "There is no way we even return to Hôi Luỳên...".
"No Hoinomese emperor has fled the country in the last two thousand years", she replied. "No, we are not leaving anywhere".
"If you insist", Takahito said, "let me to take the kids with me to Tiejungo, it is better to stay here locked in permanently".
"You may leave", Hông coldly replied. "What you propose it is not reasonable".
"It has been already almost two years", Takahito said. "There is a time when we must recognize reality".
"There is no point to continue with this conversation right now", Hông interrupted him. "Leave me alone now".
