[Presidential Office Of Kundrati 1900 Hours]
Quote:Isvar was unsettled by just how calmly Sládek was taking the news that Kundrati was on the verge of an economic disaster. Throughout the entire presentation, Sládek had remained shockingly impassive. He’d not even so much as glanced at the evidence provided. It baffled Isvar. Did he not care about this?
Finally, he finished, and waited for Sládek to speak. “I’m disappointed,” He said after a few seconds of silence, shaking his head. “Of all those I expected disloyalty from, I didn’t think it would be you.”
Disloyal? What was he talking about? Isvars mouth parted slightly, completely baffled as to what he could mean. “Supreme Leader, I have been nothing but loyal to you since the beginning.”
“You dare claim this after what you just told me?” Sládek snapped, in an almost uncharacteristic outburst. “If you were not working against me, you would not have presented these fraudulent numbers! This manufactured ‘evidence’ you have presented undermines the very foundations of true Legionarism itself!”
Isvar stared in disbelief, mouth gaping in horror at how this had gone. “Sir, I—”
“Silence!” Sládek glared at him, lifting a hand. “What I have created will outlast time itself. I know better than to be fooled by traitors like you.” The door opened behind Isvar, and two Commissariat officers entered, and grabbed his arms. Sládek appraised Isvar coldly. “Take him away.”
Sládek ignored the sputtering and protests of the screamer, and sat back down, calmly pulling out several folders. Isvar's treason was an unexpected development, but hardly a matter of concern. It had been a clever ploy, but his perfected Legionarism was immortal. He would just have to find a proper steward to oversee it.
