Future of the Empire

Alex raised an eyebrow.

"The future of the Empire?" he asked. "What exactly do you mean?"

"We are deciding on who should be the next ruler of the empire, of the continent," Yan Yating said. "And we are not sure who to choose for it."

"And what do you need me for?" Alex asked. "I'm a foreign kingdom. I should have no say in these matters."

Some people Alex did not recognize nodded greatly at his words, but the ones that were closer to Alex did not. That made Alex quite curious.

Hannah gestured him to a seat that was open close to them, and Alex went and sat. "Can I learn what the exact situation is?" he asked.

Seeing Alex join the conversation made many of the people uncomfortable. Someone who could kill an Immortal had a lot of leverage in any conversation and everyone knew it immediately.
