Chapter 17: Invitation
"Your Majesty, we received a letter from the Council of Eliora," Raymond brought a letter out of nowhere.
Valeria, Lobelius, and Lahar are all part of the vast Eliora continent along with fifteen more kingdoms. Some kingdoms are vast, some small, and some a merger of weaker nations.
The Council of Eliora was comprised of these countries in order to protect their territory and independence from other continents. The Council was an alliance which seeks to fight against issues affecting every nation in Eliora.
Regardless of other issues between them, such as a war between neighbors, or conflict at the borders, every nation has to set it aside once something of a bigger concern takes the attention of the Council.
The fall of the continent affects everyone so it was the Council’s duty to ensure Eliora does not fall to another continent’s hand.
Valeria had long refused to join the Council for unknown reasons. However, Valeria representatives are invited once in a while when necessary.
For instance, in times of aggression and war with other continents, Valeria may be tapped for its strength since it would also be uncomfortable for the empire if another continent get control over all the other nations in Eliora.
"Leave it at my table. I will read it later," Ferdinand said casually and did not even glance at the letter as if he did not care about Eliora one bit.
"Your Majesty, this is urgent. What if it’s about a war? I have been hearing rumors about Zynnia Continent being aggressive again," Raymond urged and Ferdinand glared. Raymond did not back down though.
