In a blink of an eye, a year passed by since the bloody, one-sided war and up till now, the royal family of the empire was yet to reach out to the kingdom of Kedus or ask for an explanation. The tension between the empire and the church of light had turned sour as rumors that the royal family of the empire had changed religion as well.
