Chapitre 553: Chapter 553:- The Meeting [I]

The Celestial Terrain Empire had 10 elders who were in charge of various affairs of the Empire. Each elder was like a minister. Each elder held a very important position in the Empire. Each of the elders reported to the Empress. The empress and the 10 elders together discussed the internal and external affairs of the Empire. 

Unlike a Minister, the 10 Elders together had equal political influence in the Empire as the Empress of The Celestial Terrain Empire.

There was a time when things weren't used to be like this. Back when the first Elven Empress ruled The Celestial Terrain Empire, there used to be 10 Elders but at that time, the 10 Elders didn't have that much political power in their hands. The 10 Elders obeyed the command of the Empress and did not dare to raise any objections. The Empress's words were absolute and no one had the right or the power or the courage to disobey the Empress.
