Chapter 281: The banquet in Medoris.
Medoris.
The troubles in the large empire were still brewing, the citizens were uneasy. An empire could not be without an emperor for a day. The regent, Malcom the fourth was not a recognized emperor, if he took the throne without the support of the nobles, war would erupt. It had already started in the East and the North.
The most powerful Viscount in the East Lord Plump Eaglestorn had declared himself the emperor of the eastern regions and his army was already controlling the eastern boarder.
The former emperor’s uncle who had been living quietly in the North, Grand Duke Ridley had also declared himself king of the North. His knights and soldiers, with the support of the noble families that dwelled there controlling the boarder which was closest to Nemoris.
If the royal army had not covered the South and West quickly, the nobles there would have bonded together to take control of those regions already.
As the divine messenger, Akia had appeared on television, calling for a cease fire. She frightened Medorian’s using the latest expansion of Eldoria and its union with Solandor through marriage. She encourage the strongest noble houses to send representatives to the capital of Nemoris to meet and vote on a new emperor that everyone liked.
They even chose a neutral location, the Angel academy of mages in Medoris. This was a sacred ground, nobody would dare to shed blood wantonly there. This was because the mages were neutral, they served the emperor that sat on the throne.
If others caused trouble in the capital, they would be dealt with ruthlessly no matter who they were.
So, a banquet was held in the enormous hall of the academy. It was attended by all the noble houses that stood strong in the empire. To create a beautiful and cheerful environment, Akia had the hall decorated with beautiful flowers.
