Central Army Camp, the high-ranking generals of the frontline gathered along with the Kingdom's Minister of Foreign Affairs to discuss the impact of continental situation changes on the Kingdom.
It was not Hudson overstepping, trying to take the job of Caesar IV. The truth was, the battle at the Northern Border had not truly ended, and the high-ranking generals could not return to the Capital to attend the council.
As shareholders of the Kingdom, even if they could not return in person, they still needed to make their positions clear.
To avoid any suspicion, Hudson also invited Earl Francis, the Minister of Foreign Affairs in charge of negotiations, to come along.
The issues involved were significant and demanded careful consideration. Of the Kingdom's thirty-two provinces, eighteen governors were at the frontline. The impact of this meeting on the Kingdom's final decision was significant.
