Coup D'etat in Esthirant

**Coup D'état in Esthirant** is the overthrowing the Parpaldia imperial government by the Third Foreign Affairs Department Head Kaios to stop the war against Japan and save their country from destruction.

## Events leading to the Coup D'état

After the Imperial Capital Defense military base was destroyed by Japan, a new base was established in the plains north of the capital where soldiers took up the role of defending the capital were the governing board forces recalled from the territories. Kaios' assistant from the Third Foreign Affairs Department talked with the soldiers about the Esthirant destruction and told them that they keep trying to force their own orders on them without actually analyzing the enemy’s capabilities. That’s why so many soldiers have died already. They were ready to throw their lives away for the people of the empire. He called them to help revolting against the Parpaldian imperial government to save their country.

As dissatisfaction continued to smolder in the army, the number of people aligning themselves with Kaios grew.

## Seeking for Supports

The Third Foreign Affairs Department Head Kaios got worried after receiving the report that the northern city of Aruni was attacked by the seventy-three country coalition army and the Riem Kingdom Army and had surrendered. He made his decision to contact with Japan on the communication device. He got plan to accomplish with the coup d’état was to imprison the emperor, take Remille captive and hand her over to Japan, and facilitate reconciliation with Japan.

There were dozens of people in the royal guard who had defected to his side. They would be able to capture the emperor. He had a few hundred collaborators in the military who would interrupt the imperial council and confine all the councilors there as well. Unfortunately, he was severely lacking in actual military strength; if armed forces seriously attempted to rescue the emperor and the councilors, the coup would fail.

As soon as the councilors were restrained, he would immediately contact Japan; the military and the citizens needed to see this result with their own eyes. The plan had already been discussed extensively with Japan, so this had to work. In addition, he had 500 covert agents under his command from a country outside the civilized areas, the Jimi Kingdom. If there were any complications, he would make good use of them.

## Coup Beginning

The coup d’état began to occur over Parpaldia imperial government with his soldiers.

At the imperial council hall, the Agriculture Department director, other ministers and bureaucrats were shouting and arguing with Supreme Commander Arde in disarray over this unprecedented crisis on Parpaldia Empire by the destruction of two largest military bases and main navy and losing many farmlands for foods by rebellion. Suddenly, the hall’s doors burst open and seventy soldiers surged into the room. The soldiers all had muskets to aim them. The imperial council hall was suppressed by Kaios’ forces without any blood being shed. Kaios made Arde currently under house arrest.

At the imperial palace, emperor Ludius was surrounded by Kaios and five brawny soldiers. Emperor Ludius lost the reins to the Papaldia Empire. Kaios, telling Japan that the revolution was proceeding smoothly, found himself now holding those reins. He turned Emperor Ludius determining to be substantive life imprisonment and reducing to figure head.

Their soldiers failed to capture Remille who had already fled from their mansion when they arrived. However, Cyrgaya, a temp worker, caught Remille in the suburbs when she swung her knife to attack him. He pushed her down the ground and held her tight until a number of soldiers to come running to investigate them by the loud voices and violent sounds of the scuffle. When the soldiers compared her face to a paper they held in their hands, it was match her identity. They moved quickly and restrained her to a special imperial prison. Kaios had finally taken Remille into custody. Having had the good fortune of finding Remille, Cyrgaya would later be awarded an honorary position in the military by other military officers.

Having dethroned the emperor, Kaios was doing his work in a conference room in the imperial council hall. The most pressing issue was how to deal with the anti-Papaldia coalition army closing in on the holy city of Parneus, a city in the region just north of the imperial capital Esthirant. He began to negotiate with Japan for peace.

## Aftermath to the Coup D'état

The parliamentary government of Parpaldia Empire announced that the Japanese government will accept the offer of peace. Japan is also calling for the coalition army to accept a ceasefire. The seventy-three country coalition army and Riem Kingdom evacuated and withdrew from the city of Aruni.

The coup faction virtually surrendered to Japan and the war was virtually over.
