The Pitiful and Exhausted Arshley

"Hah... I'm completely exhausted..."

In her workspace, Arshley let out a small sigh, her face weary. She stared at the pile of documents on her desk, irritation creeping in.

It had been over two months since Velix's death and the fall of the Holy Empire of Elysium, and now, she was officially recognized as the true leader of mankind.

But was it really that simple? Of course not.

In these two months, the once-destroyed Imperial Palace had been rebuilt, serving as her second residence after the Holy Orthodox Hall.

Here, she was responsible for restoring order to the cities thrown into chaos by the empire's downfall.

Though Velix had been overthrown, the aftermath of the rebellion remained severe.

The damage spanned multiple sectors—social, economic, and infrastructural—leaving the empire in turmoil after the widespread rebellions.
