Reimian Empire

While the elder son of Duke Larian was delivering some tedious speech, Marquis Seymour asked his wife who, in her opinion, the late Emperor had chosen as his heir and whose name she would like to hear.

-If things turn out as many here believe, the choice will be between three main candidates: Thyrion, Sonata, and Luciola. Any of the pair, Thyrion and Luciola, would be acceptable to us (meaning the aristocracy). They will be the main candidates – so devoted to the Empire that they are not even present at this event. There is no need to talk about the two youngest children of the Emperor, although, as is known, before death, a person often reconsiders their life, so who knows...
Elrine remembered a recent conversation with Twaise. -As for my personal preference... I don't care. My background suggests that I would rather wish for Thyrion to win, as he is a worthy and legitimate heir in every respect. It would be difficult for a woman to cope with such a burden. And I myself only want this person, whoever he may be, to desire the prosperity of the Empire and be willing to achieve this through just, honest, and positive actions for all its people, regardless of their social status.
