The Thirteen Allied Trade Kingdoms

RECAP~

Indo Empire and Tibun Empire had always been hostile towards Holy Empire, and the Trade kingdoms' neutral stance was not something that the empires found ideal. The empires wanted the Trade kingdoms to take sides in the ongoing conflict, and this led to tensions between the kingdoms and the empires.

Hyu, being one of the most powerful kingdoms, was often the target of the empires' pressure. However, Hyu's ruler, King Arin, was a wise and astute leader who knew the value of neutrality. He was aware that taking sides in the conflict would only bring destruction and chaos to his kingdom, and thus he decided to maintain his kingdom's neutrality.
