Volume 30: The Dawn of the Empire - Chapter 10: Advancing

The successive loyalty of the Godeburg nobles to Komer was like a pebble thrown into Lake Nicosia, not only causing infinite ripples but also startling the fishing enthusiasts admiring the lakeside scenery.

The Silesians in the North had submitted their letters of allegiance to Komer, and under the twin pressures of economic interests and martial power threats, Nissa Ferdinand, who had already lost his former edge, couldn't resist the immense familial pressure from within and eventually signed his name on the agreement to relocate to Ugru. He knew he would be eternally nailed to a page of his family's history of disgrace.
