Good evening, everyone. I am Kivia Ikrisia Levinile, former Kral Commodore of Vekaiyu. I come to you not as a decisive military instigator, nor as a hard-lined placeholder, not even as a vulpine female, but as a Vekaiyun. It is my duty to inform you, the populace of our nation, and the world around it, that Kivia Selvala McEva has been removed from Premiere of Vekaiyu after the attempted assassination on Kivo Stapen Evesuni, Premiere of Listonia. Investigations will be performed in order to better understand the extent of her crimes, but her elimination and abdication has left a void in our leadership. It is therefore with clear conscience and sound mind that in the tradition of modern Vekaiyun succession I resign myself to Premiere of Vekaiyu.
The young vixen blinked her eyes as she shifted her weight onto the opposite leg, already a bit tired of standing. Her light fur was a sharp contrast to the red flag of Vekaiyu to her top-left, but her uniform, now stripped of a titular identification, matched the crimson hue perfectly. She stood in front of a single-manned camera defiantly, knowing well in advance that such a broadcast was televised on V3 but, undoubtedly, had leaked to all other Vekaiyun news sources. With this ascension, I must clarify my beliefs as to the role of the Premiere. My position is merely place-holder; that is, a transition from Maxism to monarchical market socialism, Vuyelism, popularized by royalty of the past, but with a few important changes. Yes, Selvala was a Maxist. This Maxist philosophy dies with the termination of her reign, and with that, so does the decades of hate, intolerance, and pride. In time, our royal family will return.
We as a people have been enslaved. Greed and pride have goose-stepped into the realms of intolerance, regressed us into the child-like fascinations of self-superiority. Our intelligence has made us cunning, our discoveries have been used to barricade us around the comforts of vile weaponry. That is not who we are, nor who we need to be. We have listened to lies for a long time now, and many of us have believed them. But the moment we refuse to listen to those lies is the moment we open our eyes to a new world, the real world, one where Vekaiyu and her people live as one with the world, on equal standing with the world, as brothers and sisters to a common man and accepting one another, absent of intolerance and of hate. Our ideal is a new Vekaiyu, one that is open to the world, for the earth is rich and can provide for all vulpine, human, lesser races - all alike.
She paused as her speech moved from preconceived to impromptu. Even now, my voice is reaching millions of people across our nation, spilling into the boundless beyond of nations abroad. Millions of suffering people, people enslaved by a system where their leaders promised peace and happiness only to be fed a consistent dose of greed and hatred. Such leaders freed themselves, but enslaved their people no one is safe from their forked tongues! Their policies prove shallow, and it is often too late. Now, people of Vekaiyu, I am here to tell you that it is not too late for us. Together we can remove the yoke of intolerance! We can fight for our world, a new world, a decent world in which all are treated as equals, one where all may benefit and live freely for a bright future. Soulless demons have clawed their way to the top with such promises, but they lie their minds are as sick as the people they oppress! The never will fulfill such promises! Never! It is our time now, our time as Vekaiyuns to choose, to live without fear! Now let us fight to fulfill such promises! United and strong, we will not bend to the greed and hatred of the past. From the hands of all, a new Vekaiyun state will be forged! We have the power to shed the old and crumbling ideals of the intolerant Maxist regimes and construct our own path! Let us build it together! Let us fight for this world our world, the world of the people! To all the brothers and sisters loyal to Vekaiyu, loyal to progress, tolerance, bravery, and peace, let us unite!
The camera flicked off upon Ikrisias cue: a simple nod in conjunction with holding her hand next to her face in an open-palm fashion. The new Vekaiyun Premiere breathed a sigh of relief. While she hadnt given it much thought, the initial expectations of sirens immediately signaling and bombs exploding all around the capital subsided. Not yet. Definitely tomorrow. She was aware of the sensationalism in her speech, but to her, the nation would need such an initial push. Later she would have to crack down and crush any type of opposition she could, but to do so right now would almost imply to them that there had to be conflict. Not yet.
She looked up at her secretary, Selvalas former secretary, who stood next to her awaiting any orders. Convene a meeting of Vekaiyus major generals for tomorrow evening, sans those on the front lines in the Levenasi. Provide me background on all. Inform Lur General Yamano Nevikalu to arrive early and meet me in my office. As of this moment, Selvalas chosen cabinet is disbanded. Round them up and lock them in the Sanakun. I have something special planned for them. And she gripped Ankyas arm, preventing her from leaving. You have a choice. If you serve me well, you will keep your job and be treated well, better than how Selvala treated you. I will ensure the safety of you and your family. Should you betray me, I will de-limb you and give you a front-row seat to the eradication of your family.
You dont need to tell me twice. I hated her.
She let go of her arm, but maintained eye contact. Choose wisely. Now go.
