Ashes and Kingdoms

As expected, the floor was swallowed by a whirlpool of anger and confusion.

The number of people still needed for the resolution gathered immediately, reluctantly without concealing anything, or rushing into an urgent convocation without being allowed to say whether or not. Suspicious plagiarism turns into a whisper of anxiety as the defense closes one door at a time on the floor. And shortly after Fercius descended from the tower to a hundred million robberies and was watched by his surroundings and entered the floor - there was a storm.

"Senator Fercius, I'm arresting you for national treason!

Following Calyx's harsh proclamation, soldiers moved quickly. Spears away his squire and surrounding senators, giving him no gap in resistance, grabbing Fercius' arm and tying him up in the back hand. At the same time, the front door, which was open until the end, was roughly closed.

"What to do!!

"Yet you plotted it!?

Fercius and his inmates, as well as the senators who were surprised by the sudden violence, speak out in protest rage. But no one could have gone to help Fercius. A soldier placed on the floor turned his spear relentlessly on the man who was about to take his seat. If you want to open your mouth slightly, just stick your tips close to your face.

Just as angry and angry voices are swallowed up, the noise gradually takes its place in a tense silence.

But of course, Fercius didn't shut up. Pulled out in the center of the floor, in a space surrounded by seats and performances, he raises his voice like a stage actor who got his turn. Normally it is the “defendant” who answers after being questioned or impeached, but from there he attacked the emperor on the stage.

"What a dictator!! Following the Dragon Hou meeting, you finally crush even the council, Emperor! Shame on you for not hating to kill democratic politics if you want to make the Empire ours and make it your own! Ladies and gentlemen, are you just arching your hands and watching this kind of atrocity that you have left to your power!! Next thing you know, you're going to be pulled to jail!

Varis gave me cold eyes to Fercius, who would spurn and arouse.

"It would have been so, Fercius, to be mourning the Empire as it pleases. Hasn't it been forced through all the measures to hold a majority of councillors in takeover and intimidation, to shape-shift Parliament and satisfy their own greed? By the way, I finally joined hands with Hou Nakte Dragon and plotted to hand this capital over to him. My eyes aren't cloudy enough to overlook so much betrayal."

So Varis turned to his seat and looked around at the faces of the upset senators.

"I suppose you were going to let the Fourth Regiment march through the Imperial Capital to Nornicom for the most apparent reason in the next Congress. Looks like some senators have already taken root. If anyone really understands what that means and agrees, they must be arrested as well... Now, do we need to order them?"

At the end of the emperor's gaze, a softly distracting congressman continues. Varys continued with his eyes back to Fercius, indignant at their stupidity inside.

"Congressman, that was a takeover of our servant to let him report the movement in the mansion. Was he useful? It has been of some help to us."

"How white-white a lie without roots or leaves! It's an insult, wet clothes! Don't be fooled, gentlemen! He's going to kill us, the citizens' spokesperson. Behold, now wield the power of the defensive forces to twist us down and shut us up, bury me without even opening a legitimate trial, ugh... ho ho ho!

Fercius yelled red-black at his face, but too much momentum clogged his chest. Varys looked down at it silently and waited until his breathing subsided, but did not order him to call a doctor.

"You seem to be mistaken, Fercius. Even in the absence of Glaus, the Imperial Capital Guard has done its part. And even though I'm not as strong as the" Emperor's Watch Dog, "I still have fangs, and I know where to use them. Give it up. I won't let you do what the Lord wants."

Saying it, he had a belligerent grin that he rarely showed. Now provoking it would make it easy to blur, that was the laugh I expected.

Finn watched the two tongues fight, holding back beside the stage. With all the doors closed, the floor is only bright and dim from the skylight. Finn's figure came from the senators and was lost in the shadow of a giant cylinder.

When Fercius' voice grows more intense, Finn gets nervous, too, and gets fit. Finn's eyes saw a dark gray shadow covering Fercius. There were others with thin shadows, but only Fercius could be felt to be dangerous.

Fercius, provoked by the emperor, trembles in anger. and

Finn, he's scared.

Lena's fears were conveyed and Finn caught a rugged eye. At the same time that his voice reached him, a hole in the center of Fercius was clearly exposed.

(Bad)

Finn took a cautious step forward, suppressing the disgust and fear that he put in.

The colour of the senator's spirit has already diminished completely, leaving only the colour of anger and hatred on the edge of the gray shadow. The center is... invisible. Nothing there, so I can't even see it trying to see it.

But it was clear that it was eroding Fercius' soul.

Finn's brain brought back memories from a few years ago. When I was looking for Nix and Oria, I remembered the day I was relative to Marquis Senato at the Nakte Lordship Hall I stopped by.

(At that time, the signs had already appeared)

An invisible hand stretched out in search of power, eagerness to the point of insanity. Deep abyss of despair. Back then, within the Senato Marquis, “hunger” had already entered. Now again, the same thing has captivated Fercius, depriving him of the spirit and vitality of his host. Much easier than the Senato Marquis.

Fercius accidentally hacked whether he noticed Finn's footsteps or felt signs of staring. Off the gaze of hatred that was directed at the emperor, I look perfectly at the youth who stand in the dim. My eyes were open to the limit, and I lived in madness.

"Oh... oh..."

Fercius let his lips fool him to say something, but he did not speak. It's as if he's been stopped from breathing and he's gathering the slightest air left in his lungs, reddening to his neck and leaking a slight breath over and over again.

Callux, still holding him tight, gave a disturbing look at the boulder. You have a seizure here and you die. But if you do, you don't sleep well. I frown and raise my face in search of the Emperor's command.

At that moment,

"Send over Seyeye!!!

A golden cut, not thought to be roughly human, burst out ripping Fercius' throat. Callux is frightened, as cut with an invisible sickle. In that gap, Fercius was rushing out. Keep your hands tied up on your back so you can relax, but never fall...

"Ah!!

Callux accidentally raised his scream. Not only him, Varys, but many senators and soldiers.

There was a strange sight in their eyes.

Fercius' body suddenly lost its entity, only a black shadow, bursting but spreading in all directions. Shortly afterwards, the faerendaine pulled out of the sheath gleams, scattering white stardust, cleaving the shadows in plenty.

Dossa......

A heavy noise echoed the floor. But Callux didn't think it was a human fallen sound. The old earthen sac fell and collapsed, unconsciously obscuring with that in mind.

Often the silence persisted, when no one would wander off, nor even sigh would be heard.

Finn crouched and lowered Fercius' lid while everyone was frozen. And crush the words of prayer small.

(O Narug the Dark God, welcome and rest the soul of this man who remains only slightly)

Shortly after waving his sword, Finn only saw, for a moment, that Fercius' face was relieved. Before they ate everything up in the holes of nothingness, even very few could escape, now I don't have to suffer anymore - that was the look on my face.

I wonder if I made it.

Yeah, I'm sure. Just a little.

Lena's reply is terribly sad and painful. Finn stood up slowly as he stroked her head in his consciousness and did it.

Still, no one opens their mouth. Everyone stares at Finn with dismay and horror in the way that the sight he has now seen is incredible. Even Varis and Islev were showing signs of awe.

Finn looked at each face in turn before slowly cutting it out.

"Sorry to surprise you"

Varis and Islev loosen their expressions to that same tone as usual. Finn nodded at them and went on thinking not to contradict the pre-construction he had met beforehand.

"As you can see, Senator Fercius was possessed by madness. Seems like you all saw something...... I have seen the same signs of madness on the Senato Marquis before. At that time, I didn't think it was that serious, but I was wrong. Now his madness involves the Fourth Legion, aiming at this royal capital. The chief of the Rufus army and a handful of soldiers have escaped and brought us news."

That being said, Finn entrusted the Emperor with a face-to-face first. Varys coughs and makes the senators pay attention.

"His demand is the dawn of the royal capital. You all know that Nakte Dragon Marquis has been watching the throne of the Emperor for a long time. By taking Little Senato as his successor, he also seemed calm, but apparently my adopted son's present appearance was not what he wanted. Multiplied by the rebellion in the east, it seems that during the absence of General Glaus, that is what we decided to do vigorously to get the Empire"

Varys smiled a little coldly and glanced at Fercius' wreckage. Callux hastily instructs his men to clear the body. The smell of blood and death covered the mouth with faces of the senators in front of them.

"Unfortunately, gentlemen, the Imperial Capital today does not have the strength to stand and fight in cages. We can't call back the corps we sent to the east, and reinforcements don't come from anywhere. Therefore, temporarily evict all the citizens of the Imperial City."

As soon as Varys said it, the place turned, as if he had forgotten the last disturbance. The majority of the senators lift their hips, get themselves up and raise their voices. Unhelpful, abusive, unrealistic, that's it.

Varis kept them screaming as much as he wanted for a while, himself silent, looking at the soldiers sprinkling sand on the traces of blood.

Slightly, when the storm of surprise and condemnation subsided, to the extent of dissatisfaction, Islev remarked with his hands raised in the air.

"Shouldn't those who are hated by the Nakte Dragon Marquis negotiate first, even if they should be prepared to flee?

"Exactly," Varys nodded. "If you have time to negotiate, if you have someone to serve as an envoy, and if you have ears and reason to ask the other person again, it's a story. To see the last Fercius, I do not believe that now the Senato Marquis will respond to the negotiations"

A presumption-based assertion, but no one disputed it. Fercius' leopard and end were shocking, and when they told him it was the same, he couldn't argue with anything anymore.

"But if we are to evict all our citizens, we also need to be ready to accept them. Citizens also have jobs, and I wonder if it will be difficult to convince them of evacuation life without knowing how long it will be."

"As for where to accept it, happiness or unhappiness. News of the other day's shipwreck competition would be helpful. Preparations should have already begun in the town below the river. If we disperse it from Ordos to the coastal cities by boat, we will not concentrate in one place. Extraordinary food transport is already under preparation. Citizens don't understand, but there's more to telling them to run. If the Fourth Corps actually approaches, the situation will be clear to everyone's eyes"

"That means we're all going to have to leave a little bit ahead of everyone else, rather than panic."

Disguise the flair convinced that Islev fumes. The senators, who were dying to set their attitudes, face to face, whisper and start thinking about their own progression and retreat.

Finn looked over at them and made a fuss.

"If you want to explore how Marquis Senato and the Fourth Legion are doing, or secretly negotiate with them to help, please stop sending messengers. Almost certainly just letting him die."

Mm-hmm. And some of them make me uncomfortable. It's because they pointed to the stars. Finn continued before objections and complaints came.

"Even the Rufus Legion chief gave up persuasion and was sent a warning to villages and towns that hit the Legion's path. If you really want to make contact with Lord Senato, I will guide you along the way, so please go out on your own. However, we do not guarantee your return."

As for Finn, he simply stated the facts, not meant to be a threat. But his seriousness and tone woke the senators who, as a result, had sweet prospects.

Heavenly Dragon Hou says, "What can we do if we are the only ones?"

Sora cold air fills the floor. Each of the senators decided on their position in it. Whether it was noise, call or denial, I finally realized that things would not leave me and I would not be able to escape from the vortex.

Eventually one coughed up and cut out "then".

"When and where to start informing citizens -"
