Rosalind’s expression turned puzzled when she heard Denys’ reviews in regards to the “Army Seals.” She glanced up at him, and he nodded in affirmation. “The Emperor requested them to surrender their Army Seals?” she questioned with furrowed brows.

Rosalind nodded slowly. For hundreds of years, these Army Seals had been symbols of energy and status for noble households. Surrendering them was not a choice to be made evenly, and the actual fact that there have been differing opinions among the many nobles was hardly stunning.

“And what about Korusta? Any phrase from their aspect?” Rosalind inquired additional. She discovered it odd that Korusta had been silent after the preliminary battle, and he or she could not assist however marvel in regards to the potential penalties if this example dragged on.

Denys responded, “Nothing to this point. They’ve assured us that they’ll ship their most interesting members of the Hunt.”

Curiosity nonetheless burned inside her, but Denys subsequent report instantly bought her full consideration. It appears that evidently a dramatic flip of occasions had unfolded in Aster Empire.

In the meantime, as Wugari loved relative peace, the opposite Kingdoms of the North confronted their very own tumultuous challenges. Cirid, nonetheless reeling from previous conflicts and beast tide, was slowly making an attempt to rebuild itself.

However, Lonyth was embroiled in a fierce civil struggle, triggered by the number of a brand new King chosen by the individuals after the loss of life of the earlier monarch. The sudden energy shift had caused vital adjustments throughout the kingdom, and though Wugari prolonged a serving to hand, they had been cautious to not meddle too deeply in Lonyth’s political affairs.

The King of Wugari dispatched advisors and troopers to help in managing the disaster in Lonyth, particularly when the dominion was attacked by vicious beasts. But, he firmly adhered to his ideas, refraining from interfering within the choice technique of the brand new King. As a substitute, Lonyth’s nobles and residents demanded the precise to elect their very own ruler, an unprecedented occasion within the historical past of the North.

The chosen King was a exceptional determine. He had as soon as been a humble Common, hailing from the slums, and had earned his method to the distinguished place by proving his valor and compassion in serving to Lonyth’s individuals. Although his stern demeanor was well-known, he possessed a genuinely variety coronary heart, which endeared him to these he served.

This historic alternative, nevertheless, ignited dissent amongst some bold smaller nobles who had coveted the throne for themselves.

Contained in the palace, the environment starkly contrasted with the surface chaos. The brand new King’s examine was an oasis of calm and order. The aroma of calming sandalwood wafted via the air as he perused the reviews offered by his attentive attendant.

The lady’s lips curled right into a figuring out smile as she replied, “Wugari is completely different from the remainder of the continent. The King and the Duke share a deep bond, and their alliance has confirmed to be unshakable. It could be fairly uncommon if the King had been to immediately abandon his household’s longtime ally.”

The King nodded thoughtfully, considering the complexities of loyalty and diplomacy. He is perhaps a brand new King, however he was not new to politics within the North. “True, they’ve been collectively for years, and, sadly, their love might now be strained as a result of Queen’s need for a kid.” He had met the King and Queen of Wugari numerous occasions and had seen them work together. The information in regards to the King’s decree was a shock to him.

The lady’s sneer revealed her disdain. “The King already has two sons, securing the succession. He now not requires one other inheritor, which is why he forged the Queen apart so readily. Regardless, this example doesn’t bode properly for us; it solely underscores the King’s unwavering loyalty to the Duchy.”

“So what do you consider this invitation?” King Lafayette requested. Earlier, they acquired an invite from the Duchy. It was for the Hunt that can occur in a number of days.

“You must go,” the lady smiled. “Is not this an excellent alternative to get near the Duke and the brand new Duchess?”
