[As the King of Trevoir Louis has submitted to the Empire, henceforth he will serve the Empire as the Earl of Trevoir His territory will include the entirety of Trevoir just as we agreed upon]

[Thank you very lance at Ares, who responded with a sdom…]

Sephiros was known to deal with any countries that went against hiear resisted the advance of both the first prince Carlos and Archduke Saxon Kill the entire royal clan…raze the capital Fran… he would not hesitate in doing those kind of things It raised the tension of everyone present

[Fort Lasse and Fort Soran are to be emptied and deear waswithin everyone's expectations It's nothing surprising Theis what follows afterward The disposal of the royal clan and the people of this country Everyone aiting in apprehension

He then resuiven the status of an Earl The Redgear Kingdom will henceforth becoear to govern it Redgear's aristocrats are given a choice to report to the Empire should they want to serve the Eear and be confiscated from their title and land

It was just as Ares said which immensely surprised Wilfred

The other aristocrats couldn't help but to discuss about this quietly

[And that's it? Just like that?]

[Such an unprecedented benevolence But why]

The discussion beca for permission to speak!]

A man stood up in the midst of that commotion Everyone immediately turned to the source of that voice, which was the First Prince Carlos

[We suffered great daear forces' resistance That decision is too kind for what they've done Please reconsider]

Carlos glared at Wilfred then turned back to Emperor Sephiros

Sephiros merely watched as Carlos shouted

[Then do you have any suggestions?]

[Yes Execute the entire Redgear royal clan Raze the capital Fran to ashes Otherwise, there will be others who dare to oppose the Empire]

[You said so h the fortress]

[!? T-that's…]

Carlos couldn't say anything to refute that But he didn't see that, another aristocrat also raised his mind

[This lowly one feels that the title of Earl is too high Was it part of the agreement for the capitulation?]

Sephiros turned to the source of that sound this tiear and Trevoir are powerful Only the title of Earl would fit their strength]

Sephiros then stood up

[That is all for My decree Now, Ares Schwarzer, as leader of the vanguard of the first tea Grants, I will leave it to hiainst Grants As the vanguard, I will leave this to Ares Schwarzer once more I hope he will continue his success this ti for permission to speak]

Another one raised his hand, which Sephiros motioned to talk It was the little lord of the Rozenheiest that both the first prince Carlos and Archduke Saxon to becoenerals are still in high hness Silvia have gone through a lot of things in this previous battles, thus would it be better for theave soestion, then turned toward Carlos and Georg

Both of theive me the chance to redeem myself!]

[We will do our best this time!]

The other aristocrats soon followed suit

[We will follow His Highness and His Honor Archduke ]

[Chance to redeem ourselves!]

Many raised their voices

For other aristocrats, having Ares take the reins will not bring the as is If they allow Ares to raisedisturbance to the factional dispute in the capital

Witnessing this, Sephiros finallywill be the vanguards this time Ares and the rest are to lead the reserve forces Good?]

[This Ares has no objection]

Ares also deeply bowed

Everyone had different thoughts in theirin satisfaction

It won't benefit Scion if Ares were to gain reed upon by the Emperor himself, he could show his influence to the others And if Carlos and Georg do well… it'll also be a good develop to restrain his anger He was once again being done in by Ares If he also failed this time, his path to the throne succession will be impeded He also feared that he had played himself into Scion's hands But he had to take any opportunity that caet… this hu that in his ers at Ares

Silvia looked suspiciously at Ares

He didn't object to Scion's suggestion No matter how one's think, it's the aristocrats' ploy to impede Ares' achievement Ares should've aware of this as well… but why?
