*A note is nailed to the front of the High Council Chambers*

[Akuma]

Members of the High Council of Britannia and Britannian Armed Forces,

It seems I have caught you slipping. I, Akuma Yamamoto, have captured Lady Gretchen of the Yew Militia. She is being held in the Tokunese prison. I would suggest you not even attempt to break her out for at the first sign of attack, she will be executed. I, myself, would prefer a more diplomatic solution. I will make a trade. We will be in touch. I shall give you a week to make your decision before she is executed. Choose wisely.


Akuma Yamamoto,
Kazekage of the Yamamoto Clan
