The Cause of the Fall (5)

It was another hectic morning inside the Ylfaen Royal Family Palace in Meliora.

Because of the increased number of skirmishes happening in the western and southern borders of the empire, Empress Iulia, the Head Mage Aiden, the members of the Royal Court, and the representatives of the Alliance, which consisted of the four major factions in the empire: Aureole, Regis Clan, The Conclave, and the Templar Code, had almost never left the palace's conference room to discuss their next moves.

These skirmishes might be minor, but the Ylfaen Empire's casualties were increasing at a frighteningly steady pace because of their frequency. If these skirmishes were only focused on one border, the empire might have been able to concentrate its main forces there, but the problem was that two borders were being subjected to it.
