Chapter 505: A Throne Built on Blood
The Imperial Capital – Belgrade
On the other side of the world, far from the battlefield...
The citizens of the Empire lived their lives as usual, far removed from the horrors of war.
That, in itself, was a blessing ..one they hadn’t been granted during the last war that unfolded upon their own land.
Ordinary people like them were the easiest prey for the enemy.
It was true that all humans had gained the ability to manipulate aura centuries ago, but the majority never made any significant progress in strength. Millions remained stuck in the lower ranks for their entire lives.
Only a chosen few were destined to rise and shine at the top.
Now that these ordinary people had been spared the suffering of war, that alone had lifted a tremendous burden off their shoulders.
Still, the tension hadn’t vanished completely. This was just a temporary calm.. what truly mattered was how the war would end.
In the worst-case scenario, if the Empire’s army lost, it would mean the end for many of them.
Prince Aegon Valerion was well aware of this. He knew that his people wouldn’t sleep soundly if left in the dark.
So, he ensured a continuous broadcast of the war’s events .. always with just enough delay to give him time to manipulate the facts.
