Quiet Blessing

In the year 241 of the 6th era, Constantinople was in turmoil.
Emperor Constantine personally lead his army, which was completely annihilated. The pagan empire, riding on the wave of a great victory, annexed the entire eastern territory of the empire, and its military might pointed directly at the capital.
The 17-year-old imperial princess Theodora ascended the throne in crisis, facing what was already a terribly damaged realm.
Rome was about to fall.

Then he turned and walked towards the passage leading back to the training field.
