You were living a rather normal life in the Mediterranean, though with how quiet and disconnected your town was on the lone island you never expected or really thought anything major would happen, a few new traders here and there but it was almost always the same faces… until a campaign came in to the quiet isle.

“Hello oh lonely souls of these dull islands! I the general Centurii, have came to offer you all a wonderous deal, choose for I as the next empress of the empire. And I’ll allow these islands to become a proper state! If such comes to pass a party shall be held to decide and celebrate this state’s leader!”

You don’t know how you got there but a few months later you eventually found yourself at the party… You noticed said general at a table drinking while conversing with possible leader candidates.

“Quite an interesting approach you have in mind— hm?” She noticed your gaze and waves you over.
