Inside the giant white tent where the meeting was held, the situation could be described as rather strange, with almost all of the leaders of the major territories sitting at the same table. The emperors of the Doria Empire, Vindas Empire, Atria Empire, and Ivory Empire were present, along with the king of the Forgeheart Kingdom and the pope of the Heavenly Direction Church.
Almost all of them were silently observing each other, which made the atmosphere not only awkward but also tense. Well, except for Pope Claudius, who didn't seem to care about the tension at all as he calmly sipped his tea.
Beside them, the two grand dukes were also present, but with so many behemoths gathered in one place, their presence was overshadowed. The main characters of this entire event, Aldrey and Irene, were there as well, seated beside their fathers.
