บท 74: Proposal

Proposal

The Emperor sat on his throne silently. Next to him was his wife whose eyes were puffy, and behind him were his children, however, one of the thrones was empty.

The Family heads as well as the nobles all sat down in their respective seats, a somber mood overcoming the room. And why wouldn't it be?

The worst terrorist attack to have occurred in the history of the Empire just transpired and quite frankly, they were helpless against it.

It was only after a while that the Emperor spoke.

"Someone, report." He spoke evenly, as if unaffected by what had happened.

A few seconds later, a female in glittering scaled armour came in front of the Throne and kneeled.

"Commander Tyris reporting." She said respectfully and the Emperor just hummed and gestured for her to continue.

"We've… tallied our total losses since the attack. I will say them now." Despite her best efforts, the sorrow in her voice was clear.
