Chapter 114 - 114: Side: Neutrality Conference (1)
The Three Northern Kingdoms frequently held meetings with the Empire.
Since they maintained "neutrality" by balancing between the Empire and other nations, they had to keep some level of diplomatic relations with the Empire.
However, unlike previous meetings that had been announced at least three months in advance, this one was scheduled suddenly just fifteen days prior. From the proposal to the actual arrangement, every aspect of this meeting differed significantly from the past.
And for good reason—this meeting was convened due to the emergence of a new hearth of the goddess, called the "Air Fryer."
The imperial procession heading to the meeting was grand.
Hundreds of elite knights on horseback, two magically powered carriages carrying attendants serving the Second Imperial Princess, and at the center, a large, luxurious magic-powered carriage.
