@Pezz570Working on my post right now.
Oh, just a thing. Karina, although she is undercover, is still a high ranking officer in the military of the nation of touch.
She can't just ignore direct orders from her higher ups if they somehow find a way to send those orders to her while she is on field.
If the emperor indeed goes in a mad rage due to Y'lleant's little 'gift', the military will be probably pressed to act sooner than they normally would. Even though they need only to show the emperor the results (aka. strategy and how the war will go on is basically the military's business) they can't ignore the emperor if he
order them to attack the nation of sight immediately.
Also, if you want to use Karina's father (as the general), I have no problems with it. In fact, i would even enjoy if you did so XD
