Tier 4 Kingdom

So, the strength of the kingdom has grown immensely, and Ethan heard amazing news, Asher had suppressed his advancement to Mortal realm on Ethan's command but a few weeks back he gave Asher the green light to break through. Ethan knew Asher was on the cusp of breaking through and he was preparing a celebration for it because it meant the kingdom would become a Tier 4 kingdom. 

Once that was done Ethan would send out his armies to take over Argenthrall and Florathell. 

Now the last year was quite peaceful with only a few minor issues but there was once a visiting kingdom's Prince that came to Vale city for business and the offer was accepted that is until he made a decision that made Ethan almost behead him on the spot. After the discussions was completed, the prince traveled through the city when he met a woman, he took a fancy to but was rejected. In his fury he ordered his knights to capture the woman. 

The knights from Dawnbringers were on the scene in a matter of seconds, and the young prince thought that they would send her to him as a gesture of good will. He was rather beaten and even his guards could not come away without a beating. The woman in question was a rather young widow with a small boy, the woman was a wife of one of the soldiers on the monument- a hero that fell in the battle of Jubi river, and as such was protected and taken care for. 

Ethan heard of the prince's actions, and he refused to work with the prince's kingdom and as such their trade agreement was made void. 

Ethan had made sure during the last year that his people would not have to worry about visiting nobles or royalty using their status, even if Ethan would offend the kingdoms of the visiting nobles or royalty.

The only major change was his personal strength and the amount of Gold. There was so much gold that he did not know how to spend it. He started looking through the system mall in order to find something meaningful to spend his money on. 

As Ethan was busy looking, his gaze abruptly turned towards his window where an enormous amount of aura could be felt flowing. Slowly a smile crept onto his face as he knew that it was Asher that had successfully broken through. 

He summoned Asher to the throne room, "How do you feel Uncle??" 

"Hahaha, never better Your Highness, I feel absolutely great" Asher replied with a deafening laughter." Good, now that you have advanced, we will hold a feast for 5 days and nights. After the celebrations we will advance toward Argenthrall and Florathell. We must conquer these kingdoms; they were the ones to attack us and now they must suffer our wrath." Ethan proclaimed. 

After Ethan talked with Asher a nationwide celebration was held that night to once more celebrate a Historic moment. Ethan made a short speech. "Today, I stand before you to share a story of resilience and the ultimate triumph that comes when hard work is met with unwavering determination. It is a tale of overcoming obstacles, defying odds, and reaping the rewards of tireless effort. 

In the face of adversity, the kingdom refused to surrender. They embraced challenges as opportunities for growth, and setbacks as steppingstones towards success. Their journey was filled with long nights, sacrifices, and moments of doubt. But they remained steadfast, fueled by a burning desire to turn their dreams into reality. 

And now, as we gather here today, we witness the culmination of their efforts. We witness the undeniable proof that hard work pays off. The accolades, the recognition, and the achievements are a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence. 

And this story, my people is Our Story. Through adversity and battles we have once more proven we could become stronger, for today we celebrate another historic moment in our kingdom. Today we advanced to Tier 4! Rejoice and celebrate my people, we have once more shown what the Valesmen could do. Today we feast!" 

Ethan had made his speech short and by the time he was done a round of appluase and cheers were heard from the crowd as the feast has officially began.

Ethan clicked on Yes and at the same time the world had once more turned still and slowly the moon came out behind the clouds illuminating the earth as they held their feast.
