The last few weeks since the coup was crushed have essentially been about having to go from one trial to another. First the TSE, then the invitation on Coruscant, then the NIO, and now the Zweihander Union. She moved more and more from the “eastern” half of the galaxy to the Unknown Region, where the Eternal Empire was also found. This was the last point of her diplomatic journey, which she was pleased to do, as she had to neglect many other matters. Along the way, she learned that ZU was also sending a representative of the AoC. Ingrid secretly hoped that her friend,
Scherezade deWinter
, would come.
Now she wanted to leave her guards behind, she didn't take them into the building. The captain protested, of course, but Ingrid just waved at him that it wasn't necessary. She was more trained than her bodyguards anyway and was already getting tired of having four shadows all the time. It wasn’t as if she could say no, that was the downside of having someone as a ruler, even if she was just a deputy. She let the escort guide her through the corridors of the imposing building. They finally arrived in a courtroom. As she looked around, the AoC’s envoy had not yet arrived.
”Chairman Craig! Nice to see you again, congratulations on your appointment!”
She greeted the man as she got closer, she even held out her hand. As always, she didn't wear any rank insignia on her uniform now, she was just wearing a clean, dark uniform with the two lightsaber hilts on her belt. Her voice, as always, is military, cold and emotionless, objective. But not hostile. The woman was simply like that, especially in formal circumstances.
”I have been informed that an AoC delegate will also be present. Do you already know who they are sending?”
