The Changing Tide
A whole month passed, and for the most part, life in Duranzia was uneventful… or at least, that's how it seemed to the nobility in the royal capital.
News of the Bloodgarden-Duranzia alliance by marriage hadn't yet spread across the nation, let alone to other countries. However, a few nations and empires, always well-informed, were already aware of the impending alliance from the moment it was decided.
After all, the Fortress Nation of Duranzia was growing rapidly with four vassal states, so it was only natural that many civilizations on the Central Continent viewed them as a threat.
In the end, it was always about who could act faster and more decisively.
While many civilizations hesitated to form pacts with the noble houses of the two ancient god continents, Duranzia took a bold risk. They made this political move to counter any potential military actions by the Military Kingdom of Serathen.
