In the city of Heian-kyō within the Imperial Palace of Japan, Empress Itami Riyo sat upon her throne, with an extremely displeased expression on her flawless face. For the past few months, she had a total blackout in communication with the advisors she had sent to the Bengal Army. So much so that she had sent a team to investigate the issue.
However, without a means of long-range radio communications, it had taken some time for her to receive the news of her pawn's defeat. After all, her agents had to dock in the bay of Bengal and make their way across the Indian subcontinent in search of their men. Before making the same journey back to the Japanese Mainland.
While the investigation was ongoing, Itami was forced to worry about other more important matters. The invasion of the region that was once known as the Philippines in her past life was going smoothly.
