章 278: Empress Carolina's Plea

While the invasion was about to wrap up in the East and West territories, the tension in the Imperial Palace began to rise. 

"Your Majesty Empress! Please let us escort you to your quarters, the Emperor is not available to grant you an audience today!" The Grand Chamberlain frantically convinced the disheveled Empress Carolina who was on the cold stone floor kneeling to beg for an audience with the Emperor. 

"No!!! I will not move until His Majesty listens to my plea! The Empire is under attack! The Governor of the North was trying to usurp the Empire by conquering the East! Why would the Emperor not care about the Empire!!!" Empress Carolina shouted until her throat went dry, a deep sense of panic was already invading her entire being as she heard the news of the invasion.

The timing of the invasion was ridiculously coincidental with the detention of the nobles. She couldn't help but feel suspicious of the things that happened in the Empire.
