The Martial Unity

1740 His Move

Not long after his final meeting with Prince Raul, the news about the awakening of the Emperor of Harmony was announced across all of Kandria, evoking immense bittersweet celebration.

While not to the extent of Prince Raul, it was clear that Emperor Rael had earned a lot of love from the citizens of Kandria.

"His Majesty has returned!"

"All hail the Emperor of Harmony!"

"May Emperor Rael live forever!"

While the common folk celebrated cluelessly, the powers of Kandria grew uncomfortable. Many had hoped that, given that he had been sleeping for more than two years, this truly would be the eternal sleep phase of the Eternal Dream curse.

Most people had treated it as much.

Yet the emperor had woken up again this late in the game.

The Cold War had been going on for about seven years now, reaching the endgame where the victor would emerge decisive.

Many forces were confident they had a good grasp on which prince or princess would ascend the throne and which royal's ass they needed to kiss.

The Emperor of Harmony.

The faction that was displeased the most was the Raijun Faction.

This was because they had the most to lose by the reintroduction of this old yet powerful variable.
