☀️ Arselia and Akonia

“It’s unexpected to hear such harsh self-criticism from you, Erephir, as if a dam has suddenly burst within your heart. This… is very bad, as there haven’t been any reasonable reasons for this yet. Given the circumstances, Sir Mellis and I have decided to hold the ritual of succession and my coronation next Monday, after announcing the death of the current emperor. Despite this tragic news, we will hold a national festival, giving people a chance to rest and regain their strength, and then, the first thing I will do in this new role is to declare a total war against Neferia and, most likely, Farrellia as well. Yesterday, I learned that the government of that country managed to establish a dialogue with the undead and that, in exchange for some agreement, they shared the secrets of airship and glider construction with them, so the Necromancer plans to bypass the front line and attack our cities directly, spreading their miasma that turns the living into walking dead. Given the current distrust of the regions towards the central government, it will be difficult to explain to people the need for a large-scale war, but there is no other choice. So, I recommend that you relax for a while, but if you have any questions for me, I am ready to answer them.”
