Sudden Request

--AN) I changed the release time for this to 7pm EST. It makes things easier for me, and I do not need to rush chapters as much.--

"While I do hope for a future where things are different from how they are now, I also hope for a peaceful future as well. While I plan to do as much as I can diplomatically as your Empress and try to form peaceful ties through alliances, I know this will not always be the case. I do not wish for war. I do not wish to take anyone's land, but if the continent we are living on is not united, how will we face the greater threats that may come in the future? Just a short while ago, I formed an alliance with the elves. We did this peacefully, and now our people are able to trade freely between our nations.
