In Duloc, more specifically in Joseph's "Palace", we can see him in a room, with him sitting while in front of him a table with papers, the room is protected by several of Joseph's Personal Guards, but the most important were the people who were there, the two Barons, Marcus Di Maria, and George Vasgi, the ones to blame for starting this whole war.
"Gentlemen, I need you to know: I didn't want this war, I just wanted to develop my Lordship and have a good relationship with the other nobles, however.... you wanted to drag us into the little war you're having against Razia, but it backfired, and now you're just reaping what you charged.... read the papers and sign them, I'm being generous in at least letting you know which papers you'll be signing" Joseph said while having a calm face as he looked at the 2 Barons, with George Vasgi having a face that showed anger, with him clenching his fists.
"I will not sign any papers! Hundreds of my people, dead! With so many I see being oppressed by your so-called 'Police', do you think you ca-" Before George could continue speaking, he began to scream in pain as he felt a saber thrust into his thigh, with him falling to the ground and agonizing, while one of Joseph's Personal Guards looked at George with cold eyes.
"That was not a request, it was an order, if you do not sign the reprisals will increase greatly, besides I will have to focus on your family members possibly to dissuade them from signing the papers...." Joseph said now in a serious tone as he looked at George before looking at Marcus, who was shaking.
"N-no... please, leave my family out of this! I will sign without any problems!" Marcus said as he went to the papers that Joseph pointed to him, with him reading carefully and seeing that it was him handing over the Di Maria Fief to Joseph-Maximus von Farquaad.
Signing the papers, he then looked at Joseph, who nodded in satisfaction.
"I now want you to write about the plans that were made by you to make Duloc go to war against the Principality of Razia, I want it to be written in every possible detail" Joseph said as he looked deep into Marcus' eyes, who nodded before being taken away by the guards.
Joseph then looked at George, who had the sword removed from his thigh, and they were now putting cloth on the wounds and taking care of it.
"Will you cooperate now?" Joseph asked in a very cold tone as he looked at George with no hint of remorse.
"Y-yes" George said as he was held by the guards before they got a chair for him to sit on, with him facing the papers, he then began to write his name on the papers, without reading because he was afraid of taking too long and irritating Joseph or the guards.
"You will do the same as Marcus will do... if I discover any secret message, you will pay dearly and believe me... I will know" Joseph said as George was taken away from the room, with now only our protagonist and the Guards.
Joseph sighs tiredly and puts a hand on his forehead, knowing that now those territories of the Di Maria and Vasgi Baronies belonged to Duloc.
'I need to think after this war is over about how to properly deal with the territories... I hate paperwork' Joseph thinks extremely tired before sighing again.
Grimhilde POV
And to think that he would be so rude to those Barons... well, they deserved it after having done what they did against Duloc, it's not like I would feel sorry for them.
Seeing Lord von Farquaad's tired expression through the Magic Mirror was agonizing, I wanted to be close to him, feel his breath, touch his face... and other places.
"Oh~ Lord von Farquaad, every day that passes I think more about you... how should I punish you for the crime of having enchanted this Queen?" I say with a smile as I hold my body, while looking at his beautiful figure.
You are the only one worthy of becoming King of the Kingdom of Heart, and I will do everything to have you on a throne near me~ I wonder what the children that would come from the combination of the two of us would be like? Coming from the Fairest One of All and a Charismatic and Intelligent Leader... they would be perfect Princes and Princesses in every way, clearly.
Ah~ Just imagining that made my cheeks redder than before.
Joseph POV
With Marcus and George writing the necessary papers, I believe I can now give orders for the troops to continue advancing, I will then order Oliver to begin the next operations.
I grab a glass of wine and start drinking to calm myself down a bit, with several thoughts popping into my mind, knowing that logistics will get thinner and thinner with each territory my armies take and advance, a problem that I urgently need to fix.
No logistics means that battles will be decided by luck... and you should never rely on luck to win a war.
"God...I need a break" I think as I drink some wine before going to my office, which was protected by two Guards, I then go to my desk and start signing papers and reports that were given to me.
One day I will need to choose someone to become the Reichskanzler of my future Kaiserreich, I need to find an ideal candidate, who is both loyal and has a capable political mind, to be able to lead the country with me or when I am away.
This made me remember that I also need to finish the Constitution that I am creating...I can already see the headache I will have, but it's okay, it's all to ensure my legacy and ensure that my Kaiserreich lasts.
3rd POV
As Joseph signed papers and sighed tiredly, in the cells where Marcus Di Maria returned after writing the declaration, we can see him hugging his wife while still having a scared look on his face.
"Husband...do you think they will do something to us?" Elizabeth asked as she cried into Marcus' chest, shaking a little.
"I don't know... I just hope not, I pray to any God that exists that this doesn't happen" Marcus said as he hugged his wife with affection and concern.
He hated himself every moment for having made that plan against Duloc, if he could go back in time he would make sure that the past him got a beating before forcing him to give up on his plans.
In the end they woke up a Dragon from Deep Sleep, now this dragon was roaring to the heavens wanting blood and revenge.
