Harman reported the incident to the Imperial Family.
However, Holy Emperor Kelt Olfolse ordered us not to stop the upcoming banquet, and instead continue on with "meet and establish a diplomatic connection with the envoy".
I was totally dismayed upon hearing this.
Just what was the old man even thinking? Did he really want to start a war? Or... was he separately thinking about doing something else?
Since the Holy Emperor issued his imperial decree, we now had no way to stop the proceedings from going ahead. But still, I asked Ruppel to come to the academy's executive office.
Kelt Olfolse was probably cooking up a plan of his own, but as far as I was concerned, this event should definitely not go ahead. The whole thing was so dangerous that one misstep might result in the massacre of innocent citizens.
