[color=#FF99FF]"Admiral,
I on the other side did not think I would live to see a day when a woman would be leading the Naval forces. The Kusari must have indeed changed." she made a small pause
You honor me, but the title of Black Dragon's Society Kumicho now decorates someone else.
You ask me why did I start to believe that the rhetorics of Blood Dragons bear more truth? At the time of my exile, Emperor Jien Kogen was at power. His reign was destroying our motherland, the war on Bretonia frontier was cruel enough not to add the later war with GMG. I fought in both. The Black Dragons offered themselves to protect the Okinawa because most of the Naval forces were tied to Leeds. We even asked our allies from Bretonia to assist us. Our people in council organized a meeting at planet Kurrile. Where in defending of Jien Kogen many your and my people fell to Blood Dragons. Emperor than did even see it fit to meet Kanzler Rheinhart being furious about the Blood Dragon and GMG invasion. His actions were weakening us.
I lost my trust in him. I served the Emperor but my duty was to my motherland. The powers in Hogosha also changed and I was stripped of my rank in a coup. In that time Hogosha officials also began to be imprisoned. Thus I took my chances and visited the Blood Dragons. They opposed Kogen's insanity for a long time and wanted a political change in Kusari. Our goals merged at the time. But no longer. The Blood Dragons wish a restauration of the Hideyoshi dynasty and its customs. Kusari is now a republic and that's the way it should be.
