The day after Berengar returned home from his monthly visit to Iceland, Itami found herself alone in the palace. Berengar was busy overseeing the war effort, and Linde was nowhere to be found. Of course, Itami did not know this, and thus she had looked for Berengar in his office.
Perhaps the receptionist was on her lunch break, but when Itami arrived at the entrance, there was nobody to greet her. Thus, she took a deep breath to resolve her courage, before knocking gently on the door.
Contrary to what Itami was expecting, the door was unlocked, and left slightly ajar. Thus the impact of her knuckles pushed it open ever so slightly, revealing Berengar's office in all its splendor to the Japanese Empress. Itami opened the door in its entirety and voiced her entry aloud as she did so.
"Hello, Berengar, are you in here?"
