Chapter 8 - Archduchy of Austria/Pt 7.

Europe / Austria (Vienna): August 8th, 1975.

My name is fiona marie sal'avanna and I am the head maid of the house of habsburg–guinness–windsor. Second daughter of the noble county of sal'avanna and head of the sal'avanna Information guild, I am currently on a mission assigned to me by his highness the archduke of austria. Amenadiel elias von habsburg-guinness-windsor. To have these weaklings start a riot to rouse the government into making amends to appease his highness who's intellect knows no bounds. I am now one his highness's woman, therefore I am obligated to contribute to his cause like his many future woman. One may ask why I am not angry about the fall of house sal'avanna 30 years ago. I will not blame the archduchy of austria for my forefathers weaknesses, if we a house of assassins are useless, it is only by right that the master eradicates the stain in his or her eyes. By no means do I intend to become a weakling.

(Fiona's POV)

"So you want to donate all your wealth to our cause." Asked a tan skinned very muscular average looking man with a square shaped face, dark brown eyes, dark brown buzz cut hair and about 6'2 in height.

Fiona smiled gently while scooting the black duffel bag closer to the man sitting behind the desk and said as she closed her eyes with a gentle and warm, saddened smile "I want to give all my wealth to a great cause mr smith, austria is rotten, we can by no means trust the government as it is now, it is something us the people of austria cannot put our faith in or depend on so please accept all of my wealth, I am a failed investor and I want to start over a new leaf."

"Hmm…what did you say your name was again ms…" Asked the man calmly as he rubbed his shaved chin, his eyes darting down to the uniform fiona was currently wearing. It being that of the make austria great again protestant uniform.

"My name is alice green huber, I am 32 years old and a failed investor, my ex boyfriend use to be a member of your great cause, his name was jonathan nicolai courtney, this was his uniform." Said fiona while sniffling with tears streaming down her face from her red swollen eyes as she gestured at the uniform she was currently wearing.

"AH. I'm sorry ms huber, I didn't mean to make you recall bad memories, I was only following regulations by doing my job as the leader of this protestant, my name is ferdinand smith it is nice to meet you, I don't recall who your boyfriend was but I'm sure he must have been a great man." Said ferdinand with a very embarrassed look on his face as he accepted the duffel bag full of the 10 million In cash.

"He was a weakling, nothing more than a pest for me to step on." Said fiona nonchalantly, a cold look in her lifeless eyes.

"Pardon, did you say something ms huber." Asked ferdinand with a confused look on his face as he put the duffel bag on the floor next to him behind his desk.

Fiona's face immediately switched to that of a warm, kind hearted woman and said with a bright smile that could light up a entire room "I asked when are you going to attack the government."

"Well…now that we have the funding thanks to you ms huber, we should be able to acquire more weapons, body protection, and rations so I estimate we should be ready to attack by the end of this week." Said ferdinand with a calculating look on his face as he interlocked his hands atop his desk.

Fiona nodded while getting up from the chair and saying with a saddened look on her face "As much as I would like to stay and be apart of your great cause, I have to get back to my life and rebuild it."

"I understand, but please let me give you a proper send off for all you've done for us,this is the least I could do." Said ferdinand with a understanding look on his face as he got up from the rolling chair.

"That'll draw to much attention to me" Thought fiona nonchalantly.

Fiona shook her head said with a soft smile appearing on her face "No thank you. Being able to fund such a great cause is more thanks than anything else ever could be, thank you for your time mr smith, may you succeed in your cause."

"N…no, thank you very much ms huber." Said ferdinand stutteringly with a very grateful look on his face while rushing over to the door and opening it for fiona.

Fiona smiled at ferdinand and left the office while thinking. Her face shifting Immediately back to her nonchalant look "Fucking pest. Now let's deal with that roach looking dead body and send word to his highness"

(Amenadiel's POV)

"Master how was it, how was the show, tell me please. Praise me the almighty system more." Asked the tiny system as he floated in front of me with his hands on his hips and a smirk on his face.

I stared at the huge flat screen tv on the wall for a moment. Fiona's face being present on it and thought "She's rather good at switching faces, though she could be better if she had learned psychology even though that isn't her specialty."

"PRAISE ME." Said the system with a pouty, irritated look on his face as his fist connected with my cheek and had zero amount of force or impact behind it.

"Your very useful. I'll name you siri." I said calmly while grabbing the glass of wine in front of me and taking a sip from it, shoving the tiny siri out of my line of view.

A vein appeared on siri's forehead and said loudly, practically screaming at the top of his lungs with anger "THAT'S ALL I GET FOR HACKING INTO ALL THOSE SECURITY CAMERAS FOR Y…"

I glared.

Siri flinched and Immediately prostrated in front of me on my desk and said stutteringly "F…forgive…m…me for my impertinence and imperfections master, I'll learn to control my mouth better in the future."

"Good, so you can hack into things, now explain to me what these prodigal traits are on people's status screens, are prodigal traits on statuses the core of a person's being, is it what their main talents are and what they are at their core self like it said in the description of my insight perk." I asked calmly, staring straight into siri's eyes.

Siri had his mouth open in shock and said stutteringly with a horrified look on his face "Y…you are correct…h…how did you put all that together so quickly."

"It wasn't that hard if you actually use your brain and analyzed the way resources carry themselves like fiona and her prodigal trait." I said calmly while getting up from the rolling chair and went to the window and looked out at the clear blue sky.

Siri flinched and said stutteringly with his head bowed "Y…yes master."

"How much military manpower do I have." I asked calmly out of nowhere as I stared up at the clear blue sky, the expression on my face being unreadable.

Suddenly siri's eyes started glowing with a blue hue. Calculations and numbers being visible inside of it and said nervously as it suddenly vanished "1,098."

The room was absolutely silent for a moment.

"1,098. I must be going deaf. How is austria still standing as a diarchy with only 1,098 as soldiers" I thought while rubbing my bearded chin as I stared up at the clear blue sky.

"M…master, I think you should recruit more people." Said siri stuttering as he flew up next to my face.

I glanced at siri and asked calmly, plain and simply "The soldiers are all men aren't they."

"How'd you know master." Asked siri stupidly with a confused look on his face.

"Oh course, nobility are still getting used too modern equality in 1975, I can solve my lack of manpower by having mandatory service as a requirement for men while women will have the option on whether they want too join since they are currently useful for the low birth rate in austria, transgender people are exempted and have options like women on whether they want to join" I thought while going back over to my desk and pulled out a sheet of paper and started writing a letter. Of course I intend to have 4 star general schneider Inact my current plans. I think alfred has some sort relation to him according to the memories of the previous owner.

Siri had a still confused look on his face and asked "What are you doing master."

"Stop asking so many questions and codify the footage of fiona and file it in the system, also is alfred still outside the room." I asked calmly while putting the folded piece of paper inside a envelope and grabbed my seal and stamped it.

"Yes master, he's reading a newspaper with cat's." Said siri with a snicker as he landed on my desk, his eyes glowing a blue hue and the footage of fiona on the flat screen tv instantly disappearing .

I nodded and grabbed the bell and rung it.

*DING* *DING*

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Your highness." Said alfred calmly from outside the room.

"Enter." I said calmly while sitting the bell back down on the desk.

Alfred came into the room and made his way over to me and bowed and said calmly "Your highness, you ca…"

"I need you to give this to general schneider, what is your relationship to him." I asked calmly while handing him the envelope.

The room was silent for a moment, the air tense.

Alfred grabbed the envelope and said calmly while bowing a little with closed eyes "He is married to my sister your highness, I will deliver this with utmost care and discretion your highness."

"It better also apply to your eyes too alfred, I wouldn't want them looking into things they shouldn't see." I said calmly as I walked past him and left out of the room.

(Alfred's POV)

Alfred stared down at the envelope in his hand and thought "What are you trying to accomplish your highness"
