The Emperor's Decision

As the emperor said, every lord and noble present had been briefed on the situation before they arrived at the great hall. Thus, there was no confusion regarding the topic of their discussion.

Nevertheless, with hundreds of nobles and lords gathered in the great hall, each with their own opinions and thoughts on the matter, their discussions were bound to be chaotic without order.

"What do you think, Baron Chalfont?" Emperor Renardier sought the war hero's opinion first as the person was the chief informant of the situation.

"Permission to speak freely, Your Imperial Majesty."

"Permission granted, Baron Chalfont. Please speak your honest thoughts."

"Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty," Baron Chalfont expressed his appreciation before saying, "To be honest, I feel like the letter was a trap. There isn't much information on the seven witch kingdoms, especially their inner conflicts."
