The peace between Aetherland and the Empire is largely in part because of the relationship between Adriana and William.
William was never a fan of his father arrangement for him to become the next King so he was convinced of Adriana ideas that their children will rule Aetherland when they have children thus ensuring peace and sovereignty for Aetherland, and assurance from the empire.
'Will you fight?' he ask
'Do I have a choice? My niece must be stopped and my only allies in the imperial court right now seem to be the new noble faction' she said sighing.
Looking at the sky she sighed again.
If only my brother could be here now…he would certainly be disappointed. William did not say anything.
'But my niece is not the true enemy of the Empire.'
'Who then?' William said as he put down his cup of tea. The tea is long gone and he is no longer in the mood to sip tea.
