Inside the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Capital City of the Lionheart Empire, an uproar erupted as soon as news of the Holy Church's army moving toward the Lionheart Empire spread throughout the palace.
"Daniel, go and bring Minister Vesta to me at once. We must accelerate our plans immediately. There's no time to relax in a critical moment like this," Emperor Philip ordered Crown Prince Daniel, his expression grave.
"Yes, Royal Father. I'll leave right away," Daniel replied, nodding with a serious look as the weight of the situation fully settled in his mind.
He quickly left the hall to search for Minister Vesta, who was likely managing affairs on Emperor Philip's behalf.
After a brief search, Daniel learned that Minister Vesta was currently at the headquarters of the Imperial Knights, inspecting their armory.
The war was drawing near. If the Imperial Knights lacked proper weapons, they would be easily overwhelmed by the Holy Church.
