章 75: The Republic And The Empire

[Belrug, Capital City of the Republic]

The emperor sat comfortably on his royal throne. The throne room was lavishly decorated with purple ornaments, gold, various precious stones, and silk fabrics. The windows were massive in size and had large curtains in front of them to block the sun's light whenever it was the time of the day.

It was noon and the sun was at its brightest, its rays shining brightly through the windows and thus, the curtains were dropped and the windows covered. The curtains were purple, though not that pleasing to the eye, it was a show of wealth and power.

The Republic was one of the continent's superpowers that sported a very large continental military. With more than twenty major cities, fifty cities and hundreds of towns and villages under its territory, it was easily one of the largest countries in the continent. A territory equivalent to the Russian Federation back home.
