Chapter 119: Revolution Defense War - Krafte (1)
Germania Empire.
It is a vast empire, centered on the Germanic peoples and occupying more than half of the central continent, but the territory actually ruled by the Emperor is less than half of that.
The remaining territories are ruled by Feudal Lords, each enjoying a status no different from a king, at least within their own domain.
Among them, the Krafte Kingdom, the hegemon of the northern Germania Empire and ruler of territory second only to the Emperor, was considered virtually an independent nation.
After all, the currently reigning King Karl II himself is hailed as ‘Great King’ for having waged war against the Emperor and seized wealthy territories, making it even more so.
Cecilia, Kaiserin of the Empire, gazed at Mittelburg, the capital of the Krafte Kingdom, from her carriage.
Despite being the capital of a rising power, the cityscape of Mittelburg, unlike Germanburg, the glory of the Empire, imbued with its radiant culture, is extremely monotonous and crude.
It was only natural, as it was merely the territory of a margrave, established to conquer pagans and expand the Empire's domain from the start.
However, when Cecilia arrived at the Great King’s palace beyond the center of Mittelburg after a considerable journey, she felt overwhelmed.
